Versatility is the name of the game for many of today's trailer-towing overlanders. The best off-road-ready towables transform effortlessly from gear hauler to toy hauler to microcamper and back again. So, too, with Mission Overland's Trail Dog camper trailer — a rugged, convertible toy hauler with room for four and plenty of powersports gear, too.

While many campers pack up their gear for winter at the first subzero temperature dip, there is a certain segment of hardcore outdoorsmen who enjoys the great outdoors in any season. Mammoth Overland's WLY Mammoth is a lightweight travel trailer designed for just those campers who don't mind bitter cold, scorching heat, and everything in between.

All-season travel trailers and RVs are nothing new. But Mammoth Overland takes "Arctic-ready" camping to a whole new level with the WLY Mammoth. Like the company's other bumper-pull trailers, it's built tough enough to survive the rigors of overlanding. But the WLY (that would be "wooly") is purpose-built for winter camping. The cabin features a handsome plaid wool liner that not only looks great but also delivers an R-value of R12 — significantly higher than the R5 rating found in more ordinary campers. The floor boasts an even better R25 rating. Mammoth Overland adds an 11,500 BTU/hr propane-powered mobile forced air heating system to the mix. That's enough power to heat a 600-square-foot cabin, ensuring the WLY stays ultra-toasty no matter how far the mercury drops outside. Plus, a heated king-size bed provides the perfect centerpiece for this winter-ready basecamp.

Zipper pull camping hack: Exit your tent and disturb no one

Don't wake up your partner while camping with this tent zipper pull hack

Man at a campground stargazing

Camping overnight comes with a bunch of challenges, but if you're like me, one of the worst ones ever is needing to exit the tent before dawn to use the bathroom or grab something from the car. My husband is a pretty light sleeper, so any excessive rumple I make is going to wake him up. Worse, I've also had the misfortune of startling wildlife. Fortunately, I've found a great camping hack that solves the problem — glow sticks!

Yep! You heard me. I've found that creating a glow stick ring through the holes in my tent's zipper pulls solves the issue. Not only does this make your zipper visible, but it also gives you something bigger to grab on to. With this camping hack, I am able to open my tent's zipper slowly and quietly, minimizing risk of startling anything inside or outside.
