Why Spend Thousands On A Tricked-Out Adventure Trailer When You Can Rent One For Hundreds?

By Amanda DePerro Published December 16, 2019

Though most reasonable people enjoy the concept of The Great Outdoors, many can’t bring themselves to actually go camping. For one, purchasing all the necessary equipment can be pretty expensive. Also, sleeping on the ground holds little appeal for many folks.

Off The Grid Rentals, based in Laguna Hills, CA, has found a way to give aspiring campers the best of all possible worlds. By renting one of their off-road teardrop trailers, you can experience the outdoors without sleeping on the ground and enjoy the amenities of a camper without worrying about maintenance or storage. It’s a win-win-winnebago.

The off-road teardrop trailer comes with a radio, a 12v outlet, a 30-gallon tank for fresh water, a comfy mattress for two adults, and an optional roof-top tent can bring the total number of campers up to five. It’s also tricked out with a two-burner propane stove, side-mounted sink, and a locking slider for your cooler. All this rides on all-terrain tires that can handle California’s roughest areas.

Renting a trailer is basically like bringing your own villa wherever you go, and at $170 a night, it costs much less than your average villa. Weighing in at 1,250 pounds, just about any vehicle with a trailer hitch can handle the teardrop trailer.

If you would rather forgo the teardrop trailer, you can rent an array of camping equipment, including roof top tents, a 50-quart fridge freezer, a 1000-watt generator, a 2000-watt generator, or a truck rack that can support up to 800 pounds of cargo.

Off The Grid is based in Laguna Hills, CA, making it an excellent jumping-off point for many of Southern California’s most breathtaking spots, including Joshua Tree and Death Valley. If you’re looking for a slightly longer journey, you could make the trek up to Yosemite or over to the Grand Canyon. The point is, there’s no shortage of places to take a teardrop tent from Off The Grid Rentals.

Jeremy Allen White in Deliver Me From Nowhere

Music biopics are all the rage these days, and Bruce Springsteen is the latest icon to get the treatment. The first trailer for Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere sees The Bear star inhabiting the role of The Boss. The film is based on Warren's Zane's book of the same name, which focuses on the period when he was making his 1982 album Nebraska.

The film is directed by Scott Cooper, who also directed Jeff Bridges in Crazy Heart. In the trailer, we see White embodying Springsteen as he sings "Born to Run," and we also get a lengthy monologue from Jeremy Strong's Jon Landau as he explains why Springsteen feels the need to make this album.

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.

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).
