The kitchen stuff is interesting and all, but I want to know about the overlanding outdoor car CAT (not car).

Looking forward to this thread and I enjoyed your Sequoia projects here and elsewhere (and I'm a little bummed you moved on from it), but I had to comment: I don't think I've ever heard of the I-5 run between PDX and SEA as a " nice little morning drive." You must really love your new rig!

Here's another. Looks like it's pretty easy to DIY:

I thought this was "beta" and iOS only right now (not Android). Or has it been released to everyone?

Hanging. Trying not to buy more crap.

Finger joints? Now you're just showing off! (lol, seriously I love it).

Looks great. My son just started at Gonzaga so I expect I'm going to spend some time in that area over the next four or so years.

Awesome. Is this Spokaneish? Looks more like my side of the Cascades.

Thanks for the kind words. And Yeah, if you can make them work for your space, custom foam cushions are totally the way to go! (more durable, cheaper, modular, etc)

For what it's worth, I just don't know if the 15 Max is necessary in something like a trailer. I'd probably save some money and space and go with a 4" pad. Old body and ground tent, sure. But for trailer -- even for an XL sized side sleeper like me -- I'd think anything over 4" would just be...

If you're thinking of the Duo10, check out the NEMO Roamer. Just as comfy (actually, maybe a bit more -- the textured top finish might help airflow on warm nights), inflates/deflates easier, and packs way smaller and lifetime warranty. Also, I didn't keep track of all of them but the Exped Mega...

Glad you didn't mind the big info dump. One comment about breathing into these pads as an inflation method -- you're putting water in there with your breath. It can (eventually) add up to more weight, decreased R-value, decreased cushion, and possibly some icky stuff like mold. The OG thermarest...

I hate to be that guy, but the REI employee was wrong. This is not a criticism of you and your pad choice so please don't take it that way. I've been meaning to post my pad experience for a while and your post finally prodded me into action. This spring I bought ALL (see below for rankings)...

I'm guessing you're probably right, but now they're going to get a $0 recoup from me vs the ~$100 they were about to get. Fine, end the offering, raise the price or whatever, but maybe give your existing and eval customers a last shot to lock in the "current" prices. Heck they email me 2x/week...

Has anyone else noticed that Gaia has killed the 5-year plan? My three month trial just ended today and I was going to do the five-year. But as far as I can tell, it's not available anymore. Which is a bummer. I wanna say the five year with a coupon was under $100 and the one year is closer to...
