The UEV-440 Trailer is like a Swiss Army Knife You Can Sleep In

I don’t care who you are – we’ve all had those daydreams of selling all our belongings, buying an old RV or teardrop trailer, and roadtripping across the country in a fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants, Kerouac-style adventure. It’s definitely a tempting prospect, but before you hit up craigslist in search of a busted-ass Winnebago you can tow behind your Jeep, we highly recommend you check out this uber-badass trailer from Conqueror Australia.

We’ve seen some pretty amazing mobile living spaces before –including this one designed by an ex-NASA employee, and even a roof-mounted tent that folds out from the top of your car– but this one definitely takes the cake. Not only is it designed to handle practically any terrain you drag it through, it’s also has more features and functionality than most freestanding houses.

When it’s all folded up and compacted, the UEV-440 looks basically like any other trailer (save for some distinctly paramilitary exterior styling) but on the inside, it’s anything but. Like something of a tow-behind Swiss Army Knife, it folds out from its compact size to become an absolutely massive living space. Check out the video to see what we mean:

On the right side of this beast, there’s and entire kitchen and pantry — complete with a fold out food prep table, collapsible kitchen sink, dish storage space, fridge, freezer, and more storage shelves than you’ll know what to do with.

On the left, you’ll find even more storage, as well as a fold out panel that provides the interior with additional space. Fold-out panels like this can be found all over the trailer, as the entire thing is packed with expandable waterproof canvas sections that make it more roomy. Like a caterpillar transforms into a butterfly, this badboy can transform into a giant canvas tent.

We’ll let you dig into the remaining list of awesome features on your own, but in summary, this thing is an exercise in compactness and efficiency. Hell, even the spare tire grate doubles as three-legged grill you can put over the fire. And that’s just one of the models Conqueror Australia has to offer — check out the rest of the lineup here.

Tony Soprano vs. Walter White: Who is the ultimate antihero?
TV's biggest heavyweights duke it out for the antihero crown
Breaking bad season 4 screen shot

Sports fans often debate between two heavyweight legends. For basketball, it's LeBron James and Michael Jordan. Switching to tennis, you have Roger Federer fans and Rafael Nadal diehards. Debates like these are ingrained in the culture of athletics, but TV fans have their own version of this sparring match.

Tony Soprano from The Sopranos and Walter White from Breaking Bad are the two characters who still send shockwaves through every drama in the 21st century. These men were the perfect mix of good and evil. They navigated family life and the criminal underworld with cunning intelligence and ruthless risk-taking. Every show with morally gray characters at the center owes its storyboard to Walter and Tony, but which character deserves the antihero crown? This is Tony Soprano vs. Walter White for all the marbles.
Who was the more complex character?

Learn how to smoke a pipe the proper way with our guide for beginners
Let us show you the classy way to smoke a pipe
Packing a pipe

Pipe smoking is the most aesthetically distinguished way to enjoy tobacco, but you lose the classy effect if you don’t know how to smoke a pipe properly. Smoking a pipe has become a lost art, and these days, most people who engage in pipe smoking do so to achieve a sense of nostalgia. Perhaps your grandfather enjoyed a puff now and again paired with a good stiff whiskey, or maybe your goal is to emulate a pipe-smoking artist.

I know that I enjoy a good puff on a pipe now and then, and knowing the right way to enjoy a pipe has made the experience much more pleasurable for for me. Whatever the case, if you intend to take up the time-honored tradition of unwinding with a pipe like me, you should learn how to smoke a pipe the right way. And smoking a pipe is very different than smoking a cigar (except you shouldn't be inhaling either).

Don’t ruin your cigars: here’s how to properly season a new humidor
Seasoning secrets every cigar lover could use

If you're a newcomer to the world of cigars or just bought a brand-new humidor, you'll need to season it. And no, I'm not saying to add salt and pepper to it. If you've never heard of it, you might ask, "What is seasoning for a humidor?"

Don't think you need to flavor the box or anything — seasoning is really about getting the wood inside your humidor so as not to rob your cigars of precious moisture. Easy to understand, and getting it done is relatively straightforward as well. The trick is figuring out the "why," and we'll get into that in a bit. But let's first discuss seasoning a humidor.
