I am not much of an outdoor person. If given a choice, I would choose to have a vacation that will have minimal outdoor activities, especially if it’s going to be overnight. I will not be able to survive camping or any similar activity. But there are a lot who enjoy this kind of thing as proven by a lot of brands and product designers who create a lot of devices, gadgets, and products to cater to this particular market.

The Ruck & River Camping Table is a lightweight, ultra-portable solution for campers, backpackers, anglers, and anyone who spends time in the great outdoors. Weighing just about 1.1 lbs (17.7 oz), this compact table collapses into a polyester carry bag that’s roughly the size of a water bottle. It’s designed to slip into your backpack or duffel without adding bulk which is of course ideal for minimalist adventurers or those who need to walk quite a distance.

Designer: Ruck & River

The 8″ × 8″ tabletop is crafted from durable aluminum, featuring clever cutouts, including two cup holders, to keep gear secure. The solid build supports compact camp stoves, cooking kits, or beverages without wobbling. A three-piece ground spike anchors into dirt or soft soil, while an included adapter lets you use a sturdy stick in harder terrain. The spike extends up to 23″, offering a stable base which can be especially useful on uneven campsites.

There’s also a universal accessory holder that can be attached to the front face of the table to prop up your other accessories like your phone, spoon, book, or to hang your tools. An adjustable polyester storage bag transforms your transport case into an adjustable storage catch below that can hold utensils, snacks, or small essentials. There’s also an integrated compartment to organize the ground spike pieces.

The Ruck & River Camping Table delivers a perfect blend of lightweight design, functional ingenuity, and outdoor durability. Whether you’re brewing coffee in a hammock, prepping a quick trail meal, or just trying to keep your drink upright on uneven ground, its compact form doesn’t hold back on performance. It’s clearly made for people who embrace the outdoors—but even for those of us who prefer Wi-Fi over wilderness, it’s hard not to appreciate the clever engineering. I’ll admit, it still won’t convince me to go camping voluntarily or spend more time “off the grid,” but if I ever find myself forced into an outdoor adventure, this is exactly the kind of no-fuss gear I’d want by my side. Small, smart, and just rugged enough to make nature slightly more tolerable.

The idea of a tent for backpacking is entirely dependent on size and weight. Stargazing ability from within the tent, well, it’s an added advantage. But when it comes to camping with the family, priorities change. What matters is the space you can create in the outdoors for the family to spend time together. If you swear by the benefits of your truck camper, the James Baroud Family Room is where you should be headed. Yet, if you want more privacy without compromising space, welcome the Land Nest Shelter.

The brainchild of a Japanese manufacturer of outdoor living solutions, Snow Peak, the two-tent Land Nest Shelter is substantially bigger than anything created by the company before. Despite the size, it remains rooted in the maker’s design philosophy and the ideology of keeping things easy to use.

Designer: Snow Peak

Comprising water-repellent polyester taffeta roof and polyester Oxford body, the Land Nest Shelter’s main frame is designed for effortless assembly. The tent borrows the symmetrical layout and solitary frame structure from its predecessor, Land Nest Dome, which makes it straightforward to set up and uninstall. This convenience makes the tent ideal for beginners, as much as it is feature-packed and spacious for the seasoned adventurer.

It is fitting then for Snow Peak to call the Land Nest Shelter (its two-piece tent) an exceptional “outdoor living” solution. Measuring upward of 20 feet in length and close to 12 feet in width, the tent, with an interior height of 6 feet, is partitioned to be used in two configurations. With a zippered door separating the two spaces, you can choose to use them for living and sleeping, or when you desire, as two separate bedrooms.

Owing to its mammoth size, Land Nest Shelter does weigh more than its competition. With a total weight of 36.4 pounds (tent only), it is certainly not a choice for backpacking. By virtue of its construction, the new Snow Peak tent can fit in the boot of your car and take you on a family adventure of five (people you can conveniently fit in the vehicle) with maximum convenience. By standard, the tent is designed for four people, but depending on how comfortable you are sleeping next to each other, you can accommodate up to six people inside the two rooms of the tent.

When it’s just the two of you, the Land Nest Shelter permits you to remove its inner tent and create one spacious unit for yourself. Since the tent is designed to be your camping partner at least until the snow comes down, it has a skirt running around the entire base to keep the air from seeping in. It helps maintain coziness inside in colder weather, while a water-repellent finish keeps the water out even during a downpour. And when the sun is beating down hard on the camp, the tent’s ceiling, finished with darker pigment, helps block the sunlight to maintain the temperature inside. All this space and features come for a hefty price of $750.

Airstream’s collaboration with the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation has resulted in the Usonian Limited Edition travel trailer, a camper that merges midcentury ideals with contemporary craftsmanship. The 28-foot trailer is designed to be more than a mobile shelter. It is a carefully considered space that aims to bring the comfort and cleverness of home onto the open road. With just 200 units planned, it enters the market as a limited and distinctive offering, shaped by both American design history and thoughtful engineering.

The exterior retains the classic Airstream silhouette, with its rounded aluminum shell and polished surfaces. It feels familiar, yet on closer inspection, some flourishes nod to Wright’s architectural vocabulary. The trailer sits low and balanced, inviting a sense of groundedness. Subtle touches, such as custom badging and discreet rock guards, give the trailer a sense of quiet confidence, while also providing practical protection and a hint of exclusivity.

Designer: Airstream x Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation

As you enter the trailer,  the connection to Wright’s Usonian philosophy becomes immediately apparent. The interior is organized for everyday living, with a focus on convertible spaces and built-in functionality. The dining area can quickly shift to accommodate lounging, meals, or work, while generous windows encourage a strong link to the outdoors. There is a sense of warmth brought by the handcrafted details, including a leaf motif inspired by Wright, which adds a gentle layer of artistry to the space.

The kitchen is arranged for ease and efficiency, with compact appliances, custom cabinetry, and clever storage solutions. Counters are positioned for comfortable meal prep, and the layout keeps everything within reach. Throughout the camper, lighting has been selected to enhance the feeling of space and bring a sense of calm, echoing the natural light that played such a significant role in Wright’s buildings. Every element is placed with intention, creating a seamless flow from one area to the next.

The rear hatch is an impressive feature, opening up the living space to the landscape beyond. This direct connection to nature is a hallmark of Wright’s philosophy and is especially appealing for those who value both travel and tranquility. The trailer is built to withstand the rigors of the road, with protective features and a durable frame, yet the interior remains a place of comfort and relaxation. It is a camper designed for those who appreciate both movement and stillness.

Airstream’s limited edition model is not simply a collector’s item. Its value lies in utility and in the way it brings together comfort, functionality, and timeless design. For those who see travel as an extension of living well, this trailer offers a space that is both practical and poetic. The collaboration with the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation feels honest, resulting in a camper that honors the past while providing for the needs of the present. It is a refined approach to life on the road, accessible to a select few, but aspirational in its vision.

You have identified a remote spot on the map for a family tour, but have been pushing the idea back because your existing camper van limits you with its ability to accommodate all the members, or it cannot handle the unpaved track to your final destination. Luxury recreational vehicles manufacturer, Tiffin Motorhomes has been reinventing the wheel for our travel and camping needs, and it has pushed the walls of another motorhome further back to deliver what it calls the Open Trail, an adventure van with the capacity of a Class C RV, and the ability to take you where the heart desires.

The entire setup of the Open Trail 25 AO, as it’s officially called, is designed to create more space onboard for families to travel without cramped quarters. To make that possible, the not-so-ordinary Open Trail is based on a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 AWD chassis, which has been pushed a few inches wider from the factory version to measure 25 feet 6 inches long and 84 inches wide. It has an interior height of 80 inches and is considered the most spacious Tiffin model, surpassing the company’s previously largest GH2 model.

Designer: Tiffin Motorhomes

While the interior is more or less similar to an existing van home, it’s the slightly higher roof that extends over the cab to create a storage alcove that makes things somewhat different and stations the Open Trail in the Class C category for your liking. The Sumo Springs Ride Assist System adds to the scheme of things, making the camper van more stable, durable, and comfortable no matter where you’re headed.

The layout is pretty much straightforward as said, until you get into the details. On the front of the cabin, you get swivel seats that face inwards when you’re camped. Behind the passenger is the galley, which features a large countertop extension for prepping, while the main counterspace makes space for a single burner induction cooktop, sink with a hideaway faucet, and space for a microwave and a 297L fridge alongside. Just opposite is the living space, accoutred with a two-person inward-facing bench seat that works as a dinette and a one-person sleeper at the camp. Tiffin offers the option to include an L-shaped sofa in the space.

Just adjacent to the sitting cum sleeping arrangement is a spacious wet bath with a toilet and an otherwise large vanity sink, spanning the entire width of the bathroom. The fancy part of the Open Trail 25 AO is reserved for the end where two fixed raised beds can be combined with a central cushion to form a nice king-size bed with storage underneath, where a couple can sleep comfortably with their toddler tucked in the middle. In that arrangement, the Open Trail can accommodate four people during the day and at the campsite comfortably. To ensure you can spend a couple of extra days in your chosen spot, the camper van rolls out with a 200-W solar panel, 270-Ah lithium battery, and 3,000-W inverter taking care of the power needs. The 197l fresh and waste water tanks onboard and 15,000-BTU air conditioner ensure you can ride in the Open Trail all year round. There is no official word on the price, but you will get Starlink connectivity built-in.

While most people probably rely on their smartphones’ flashlights in times when we need a bit of physical illumination, it’s still not always that powerful. There are situations when you would need an actual flashlight, and a strong and tactical one at that, like during power outages, when your card breaks down on a dimly lit road, or in medical and security emergencies. It can also be useful to have a lightweight but powerful device as your EDC or everyday carry gear.

The Nitecore EDC37 emerges as a contender for a reliable and powerful tactical flashlight, boasting an astonishing 8000-lumen output in a design that emphasizes both performance and portability. This USB-C rechargeable, flat tactical flashlight aims to redefine what users can expect from a compact illumination tool. Its lightweight design also makes you rethink about adding this device to your every day bag since you never know when you’re going to need it.

Designer: Nitecore

The standout feature of the Nitecore EDC37 is undoubtedly its incredible 8000-lumen maximum output. This level of brightness is usually found in much larger, search-oriented flashlights, making its inclusion in an EDC form factor truly remarkable. Such power suggests an ability to light up vast areas, pierce through darkness, and handle demanding tasks where visibility is critical. It also has multiple LED configuration so you can switch from wide flood coverage or on a focused throw. The OLED display shows real-time runtime display and output level feedback while the Rapid Lock mechanism with a dedicated switch will lessen accidental activation. The control scheme is intuitive as a circular power button lets you adjust to four brightness levels while the larger mode button lets you play around with the other features.

The flashlight has a runtime of up to 190 hours on the lowest setting but they didn’t specify how long it would last if you use the full 8,000-lumen output. The integration of USB-C charging is another significant advantage. This modern charging standard offers convenience and faster charging times compared to older micro-USB ports. The construction of the Nitecore EDC37 likely adheres to the brand’s reputation for durability. Aerospace-grade aluminum alloy is a common material choice, ensuring robustness against impacts and wear. An anodized finish would further enhance its longevity and resistance to the elements.

All in all, the Nitecore EDC37 8000 Lumen USB-C Rechargeable Flat EDC Flashlight appears to be a groundbreaking illumination tool. Its combination of extreme brightness, a portable flat design, and the convenience of USB-C recharging makes it an exciting option for EDC enthusiasts, outdoor adventurers, and professionals who require a high-performance lighting solution in a compact package.

Who doesn’t love a little extra living space in the wilderness? If you’ve ever found yourself wishing for additional room to comfortably accommodate your family of four (or more) during camping trips, the James Baroud Family Room is a welcome addition to your adventures. It creates that much-needed room you desire, connecting to your rooftop tent where you can see your kids playing, have the respite of accommodating additional guests, or a teenage kid who doesn’t want to share the bed in the RTT.

James Baroud Family Room, which made its first appearance at the recently concluded Overland Expo West, is designed by virtue of being a comfortable, additional space that connects to your existing camping setup and transforms into a family-friendly living area in a jiffy. Of course, when the utility is immense, the features have to add up. The Family Room is a feature-packed living area with four walls and even a floor, not just a temporary awning!

Designer: James Baroud

What really makes this tent contraption distinct from anything that we have seen before in the market is its convenience of approach: You can directly access it from a rooftop tent through a tunnel (a covered pass-through from inside to the tent). Even though James Baroud has not limited the usage and compatibility, the Family Room is ideally well-suited with James Baroud’s own rooftop tents, for many obvious reasons. To make things more interesting and appropriate, the 95 lbs Family Room’s walls and flooring can zip off for cleaning and storage. A zippered opening in the rear of the room is another access to your vehicle parked alongside, without having to step outside in the open.

It is very effortless to set up and dismount (each process takes only 4 minutes), is made from high-quality scratch-resistant fabric and is purpose-built for traveling with kids and pets. So, as the company puts it, “every detail of the Family Room was designed with families in mind,” and it’s evident from the fact that the space is very spacious, measures 118 inches wide, 87 inches long, and 79 inches high, and can accommodate your gear with people inside.

Fascinatingly, the lightweight design of the Family Room doesn’t take up any storage space inside the camper, when it’s dismounted and ready for travel. It folds down into a compact awning-like form factor and can seamlessly attach to the roof rack. While you may be ready to spend what it takes to get this additional room for your camping setup now; the James Baroud Family Room will officially be available starting mid-July only. When it does, it is likely to retail for about $1,600, which isn’t a bad deal at all!

Wireless speakers have quickly become must-have devices for anyone who loves music, podcasts, or even radio on the go. People are no longer tied to bulky stereo systems or the limited reach of wired speakers. With the rise of Bluetooth technology, it’s now possible to bring your favorite audio with you almost anywhere, whether you’re moving around the house or heading out for a special occasion with friends.

Outdoor gatherings and parties often demand more from a speaker than just good sound quality. Many wireless models are now built to survive drops, bumps, and messy environments, but their rugged looks often make them resemble small tanks. Anker’s Soundcore Boom 3i takes this trend to new heights by creating a portable Bluetooth speaker that doesn’t just handle accidents but seems almost ready to play right alongside whatever chaos is happening.

Designer: Anker

Anyone who’s ever had a waterproof device knows that most are still best kept away from water, as they usually only buy you a few seconds before disaster strikes. The Soundcore Boom 3i flips the script by letting you use it while it’s floating. Its clever design ensures that, even if tossed in the middle of a pool, the speaker will always keep the audio facing upward, making it perfect for pool parties or lake trips where the music never has to stop.

Saltwater is known to destroy electronics in a matter of minutes, making beach outings risky for most gadgets. Anker adds a protective layer to the Boom 3i that promises to keep saltwater at bay for up to two years. This gives you more freedom to enjoy your music by the ocean, though you’ll still want to keep an eye on that time limit once you get close to the two-year mark.

Bringing a speaker to the beach or the outdoors almost always means dealing with sand and dust that can settle into the speaker grille and muffle the sound. The Boom 3i offers an ingenious solution inspired by the Apple Watch: Buzz Clean. With the press of a button, the speaker vibrates powerfully, shaking out dirt and sand so your sound stays crisp without any tedious cleaning.

Aside from its impressive durability and cleaning tricks, the Soundcore Boom 3i has plenty of features to keep the party going. Its built-in LED lights pulse in sync with your music, adding a bit of flair to nighttime gatherings. For those who value safety, a loud emergency alarm can quickly grab attention if needed. With a battery life of up to sixteen hours, you can trust it to last through long afternoons and late-night fun without needing a recharge.

The Soundcore Boom 3i captures what it means to be a truly outdoor-ready wireless speaker. It doesn’t just survive the elements but adapts to them, offering practical features that keep your audio clear and your gatherings lively, whether you are by the pool, on the beach, or in your own backyard.

Have you spent late nights sitting on a bench in the middle of a park, gazing at the stars, wishing you could spend the entire night there under a quick-deploy tent? Until now, that might have seemed like a dream. But Sky View founder Joe Bissonnette has lived through such moments and has realized the need for a solution. This has given life to some inventive tents that are not just designed transparent for stargazing, but are also flipping the rainfly inwards to ensure your experience remains unperturbed, irrespective of the weather outside.

Designed and hand-built in Buena Vista, Colorado, Sky View Tents are made for stargazing. According to the company, their tents are “rugged, practical, roomy, and approved by astrophotographers and campers alike.” At first, that might sound like an exaggeration, as it did to me, but the fact is, these tents are crafted from durable, crystal-clear mesh that offers an unobstructed view of the night sky right from your bed. That makes them exceptional and worth considering.

Designer: Sky View Tents

“Sleeping in a Sky View Tent is like having the night sky at your fingertips,” the company website informs. While you may consider the high-visibility UltraVue 2 polyester mesh of these tents to be interesting, it’s not where Bissonnette and team are willing to stop. They have created an internally accessed rainfly that can be installed without stepping out of the tent at any point. This revolutionary design change in the tent architecture is likely to make the entire concept of stargazing from within a transparent tent even more breathtaking.

Easily then, the Sky View Tents are the best stargazing tents ever, wherein you can deploy the rainfly from inside the tent without the midnight hassles of the other stargazing tents. Just relax on your bed and gaze at the shooting stars in a complete 180-degree view, and when the weather tends to change, get up and close the rainfly from the inside. Easy as it gets!

We have seen a lot of transparent, weatherproof, plasticky skylights and high-visibility modifications in the rooftop and the ground tents. Most of it is really pointless when the rainfly has to be deployed or is susceptible to wear and tear, especially in tents meant for backpacking. Sky View has really taken notice and released a portable Backpacker model, that only 4.6 lbs, including its poles and carry bag.

If you’re an astrophotographer and want to go even lighter with the tent, since you already have a lot of gear to haul, the Sky View Backpacker tent can also be pitched using hiking poles. It can accommodate a couple on a star-viewing adventure and is available only for $349. With space enough to fit in a queen-sized air mattress, the bigger brother, Sky View XL, is ideal for a romantic night under the stars. The XL weighs roughly 12 lbs and costs $399.

Did you know the sun emits a staggering 173,000 terawatts of energy every single day? That’s enough to power the entire earth for thousands of years – with just a day’s worth of solar energy. The problem is that we haven’t learned how to tap into that form of energy effectively. Sure, we harness the sun’s power through solar panels, but even the best solar panels operate at just 25% efficiency – which means 75% of the energy still doesn’t get captured. Now while technology is looking for a way to fix this, YouTuber Concept Crafted Creations decided to tap into the sun by taking inspiration from one of science’s greatest achievements – the billion-dollar James Webb Telescope.

Known for its unique design featuring multiple hexagonal mirrors that focus light towards a single point, the JWT has helped mankind explore and unravel secrets of the universe from multiple light years away. The telescope’s design is perhaps the most fascinating thing about it, so Concept Crafted Creations asked himself – what if you built something similar that could focus the sun’s rays and do something as simple as use solar energy to, say, heat water?

Designer: Concept Crafted Creations

Concept Crafted Creations started by reverse-engineering the JWST’s optical brilliance into a sun-hungry, heat-spitting contraption that’s both modular and motorized. Eighteen laser-cut plexiglass mirrors, shaped into precise parabolic curves, concentrate solar energy toward a central aluminum plate with such precision that you could probably fry breakfast on it. The choice to go with silver chrome instead of JWST’s signature gold wasn’t just aesthetic—it was physics. Gold reflects infrared well, but silver? It crushed gold in head-to-head heat tests under the same sunlight exposure.

The build itself is a mix of mad ingenuity and low-cost wizardry. Each of the 18 mirrored panels feeds light into a focal point sharp enough to melt metal. And while commercial springs could’ve aligned those mirrors for hundreds of dollars, he printed 53 TPU coil springs instead, tested them under compression, and confirmed they still held elasticity after hours of pressure. Cost-effective? Definitely. Sketchy? Somehow, no. Backing it all is a monstrous lazy Susan bearing, twin electric motors, and a sun-tracking brain made of four LDRs feeding data to a microcontroller. Nerds, rejoice: this thing thinks.

But design isn’t always divine. The first mold turned out spherical, not parabolic, scattering sunlight like a disco ball instead of focusing it. Nine hours of mirror making? Wasted. He course-corrected, reshaped every panel, and rebuilt the frame. Now, all that thermal firepower converges onto a CNC-machined aluminum heat plate, sealed with plexiglass and coiled for water circulation. It’s elegant and overengineered, although painfully underutilized thanks to a cloudy Dutch sky.

…which makes the final figure all the more impressive: 924 watts of raw thermal output from a rig built with home-grade components and exactly zero aerospace-grade materials. That breaks down to roughly 705 watts per square meter of reflective surface—on par with professional solar concentrators, and from a collector that still wobbles in the wind.

The performance test involved heating 20 liters of water from 22.6°C to 44.2°C in just 32 minutes, translating to a net energy gain of 183,840 joules. That level of heat delivery is enough to nudge this from a fun weekend project to a viable energy solution. Every mirror pulled its weight too – around 51 watts per segment, making this configuration remarkably efficient given the DIY constraints.

Not that it all went smoothly. Real-world physics stepped in when a balance miscalculation sent the whole apparatus tipping over mid-test. Moving the collector plate to the front of the pivot made it more effective—but also top-heavy. One gust of wind later, and everything hit the ground. But what’s revealing is that the creator stopped to crunch the numbers before even thinking about repairs. There’s confidence in the data that justifies a rebuild.

Among the more clever fixes were community-driven. The original alignment process with a ceiling-hung laser pointer was, predictably, a nightmare. Instead, a 3D-printed rig using a high-power LED and magnifying lens cast a giant red dot, simplifying the calibration of all 18 mirrors. Add in a few printed sleeves to shield the LDR sun trackers from ambient light, and you’ve got a system that’s cheap, repeatable, and surprisingly precise.

Ultimately, the setup looks absolutely fascinating (imagine being this guy’s neighbor), but how does it stack up against traditional solar panels? Not particularly well. The mirror array managed to generate about 1 kilowatt of heat, warming the water in the system to around 44°C after thirty minutes. While the water got hot, it didn’t reach a boiling point, and there’s currently no mechanism, like a turbine, to convert that heat into electricity. Even with one, it’s doubtful the efficiency would match that of a solar panel array of the same size. For now, the system remains a work in progress. According to the build video, it still needs higher-quality mirrors and a sturdier structure to withstand the elements before it can generate meaningful power. Is all this effort worth it? I honestly doubt it – but the internet doesn’t measure DIY projects in the metrics of practicality, it does so with the currency of cool, which this particular solar generator has tonnes of!

Pennsylvania-based mobile shelter manufacturer Tusca Outdoors is now officially part of the Missouri-based Redneck Outdoor Products family. Best known for the HitchHiker—a minimalist camping pod designed to mount on the back of a truck or trailer—the company enters this new chapter with a fresh identity and an evolving product lineup, which still has its roots in the HitchHiker’s legacy and structure.

HitchHiker camper pod is renamed. It’s now called the Freedom Camper. While the name has changed, the vision and core intention remain the same. The Freedom Camper builds on the original’s legacy, offering increased size and enhanced versatility for a starting price of $3,299.

Designer: Redneck Blinds

Now built in Lamar, Missouri, the Freedom Camper is a fully insulated, hard-shell camping pod like the HitchHiker, but it’s more lightweight and versatile, and that’s where the difference lies. Designed to fit on pickup truck beds, utility trailers, and toy hauler platforms of varying sizes, the Freedom is more than your average camper. It is a barebones sleeper with maximum weather protection, which can be mounted and unmounted with complete convenience.

Unlike the heavier campers, which once installed are cumbersome to take down and make repositioning the truck bed for everyday chores difficult; the Freedom can be lifted on and off the pickup by a couple of people with ease. Of course, with this convenience, the camper is a competitor to the hard-shell rooftop tents that are making a lot of buzz these days. It is therefore provided in two variants, the trailer mounting kit and the truck mounting kit, which allows the Freedom to be strapped on securely.

Mounting kits are available for all four sizes of the Freedom Camper, which comes in 48×79, 48×89, 58×89, and 58×79-inch models. All four models are built with the same rugged materials and go-anywhere spirit of the HitchHiker. The 48″ x 79″ Freedom Camper is compatible with midsize trucks similar to the Toyota Tacoma and Ford Ranger, and can also fit in other full-size trucks with the tailgate up. The 48″ x 89″ size camper is designed for trucks like the Ford F-150 and Toyota Tundra, wherein it can just slide on, be locked in place, and is good to hit the road.

One of the other two models, the 58″ x 79″ Freedom Camper is ideal for those who wish to keep their camper compact and within their bed, while the extra-large 58″ x 89″ model provides space to sleep and store gear and can mount on all full-size truck beds. Due to its ultralightweight (180- 190 lbs, depending on the configuration you choose from), the camper offers a simple overnight RV for adventurers to sleep in (mattress not included) with some gear and belongings. For those who want their Freedom accessorized, Redneck makes provision to outfit it with solar panels, lights, fans and more.
