Many of us dream of overlanding in far off places. Unfortunately, the constraints of home and work often keep this dream at arms length. The time needed to drive a rig to South America is likely the biggest barrier to taking the plunge. One solution would be to fly and drive, but finding a trustworthy rental car company to provide a reliable vehicle to drive off into the sunset can be daunting.

Jeep has teased about bringing back the Wagoneer/Grand Wagoneer for years. It’s becoming a bit of a white whale for some Jeep enthusiasts. There is nothing official from Jeep, but we should see something (a concept if not an actual production) by 2020. The FCA group does amazing vehicle concepts, just look at everything from the Easter Jeep Safari from the last ten years. My favorite is the Forward Control Concept.

American Buffalo is actually a misnomer. The bison that used to roam the Central Plains are not closely related to the Buffalo (Cape & Water) of Africa and Asia. They are in the same family of hoofed mammals, but not close enough to be called buffalo. Just like how the West Indies are in the Caribbean and no where near India. Same shit, different time period.

If you’re of a certain age, you remember Looney Tunes. Most of us do. Something new had to happen in those cartoons every 7 minutes to keep kids’ attention. Whether it was the anvil falling on the coyote or the rifle exploding in the nimrod’s face, something had to change.

Unless you've been living under a rock, you've probably seen photos of Sean Jennings' incredible 2013 Toyota Tacoma (AKA Defconbrix) circling the web. 

Dan Grec is no stranger to adventure. In 2009, he drove a stock Jeep Wrangler TJ 50,000 miles from Calgary to Prudhoe Bay, Alaska. From there, he headed south and didn't stop until reaching Tierra Del Fuego, Argentina nearly two years later. Today, Dan is working his way around the entire African continent. This time, he's expecting to cover over 80,000 miles in two years. 

Rocking chairs are not only comfortable, they are also fun to use. Adapting one to be used outdoors is a weird and wonderful exercise, and I’m glad that the creative minds at GCI went through with it. They are calling it the Firepit Rocker, which is exactly what I intend to use it for. For over a decade, I have been using a myriad of what I call the umbrella chair, due to how it collapses into a long skinny bag.

With the growing popularity of monthly subscription boxes, it was only a matter of time before someone realized the gaping hole in the off road market. That's where Caleb Austin of Get Lost saw the opportunity to bring quality gear to this community.
