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.

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.

The NBA’s ultimate celebration tool: The victory cigar
A look at the players and coaches who smoke to celebrate

Sports are synonymous with celebration. After winning the biggest trophy of their lives, athletes want to indulge in the payoff that comes with seeing their dreams realized. Teams go into the locker room, where a waterfall of champagne hits them in the eyes, and swimming goggles seem to be a requirement, lest you walk around on the best night of your life half blind. While drinking is often the activity of choice after winning a championship, the NBA has an alternative symbol of greatness that other sports don't use nearly enough: the victory cigar.

Basketball is a team game, but it's also an individual canvas for solo superstardom. After winning an NBA championship, the coaches and players who sit atop the throne have long smoked a cigar in the locker room, during the parade, or even on the bench before the clock has hit zero. There's nothing quite like a good stogie to signify the ultimate win over the rest of the league, but how did the victory cigar get so ingrained in NBA championship celebrations? We want to take a walk down memory lane and look at some of the historical moments and people who made the cigar what it is within the NBA today.

The best medical shows of all time to binge now
From ER to The Pitt, these are the best medical shows ever made
Noah Wyle in the Pitt

Throughout TV's long history, the medical drama has occupied a somewhat unique place in the landscape. Medical shows are often some of the most reliable on TV precisely because there's so much drama built in to working in a hospital.

Personally, I've found the medical drama to be deeply comforting for years, even if I have no desire to be a doctor myself. Understanding the stress of people in the healthcare profession is fascinating in and of itself.
