Some overlanders relish finding a way to make all the comforts of home portable enough to take into the backcountry. For others, less is truly more. Such is the case with Four Wheel Campers, who recently debuted one of the most compact, lightweight, and modular truck campers we’ve ever seen. It’s purpose-built to move, evolve, and adapt to your personal brand of adventuring.

Four Wheel Campers’ history dates back to 1972 when the truck camper market was still in its infancy. It’s credited as one of the OGs that built the truck camper market from scratch. Now, the California brand brings its considerable design expertise to bear on the all-new CampOut. It’s a unique, slide-in truck camper that is purpose-built to be modular, so you can build yours out to suit your exact style of overlanding. The base footprint weighs well under 1,000 pounds, so it’s designed to be installed in just about any medium to full-size pickup on the market with a five- to eight-foot bed (hint: that’s most of them!).

Inside, the CampOut is made to be customized and repurposed on the fly for maximum live/work/play versatility. In its base configuration, the interior is outfitted with two tall modular towers on either side of the door. One houses a Power module, including a lithium battery, an energy management system, a 30-amp converter, and DC-to-DC truck charging hardware. Hardcore overlanders can upgrade the system to add a second battery, a 2,000-watt inverter, and 500 watts of rooftop-mounted solar. In any configuration, this truck camper moves seamlessly from off-grid exploration to front-country camping via battery power and shore power, respectively.

The other Utility tower houses the camper’s stove and propane setup with extra room down below for storage. A cab-over extended double bed is likewise standard, allowing room for two adults to sleep comfortably. Four Wheel Campers also includes essentials like a powered roof vent, a sliding side window, interior LED lighting, and an exterior porch light.

From here, the only limit to building out the CampOut is the buyer’s budget. FWC offers a long list of available options and accessories, including a variety of solar packages, two portable toilet options, an automatic roof lift, a Truma furnace, a king-sized bed — the list goes on. Buyers can also kit out the kitchen to include even more creature comforts like an induction cooktop and Dometic portable chest fridge. The exterior is equipped with a MOLLE panel and three vertical L-tracks for adding outdoor gear mounts and racks.

Introducing The CampOut | Modular Slide-In Truck Campers by Four Wheel Campers

The CampOut is available now with a starting price of $25,995. Four Wheel Campers offers in-house installation at its headquarters in Woodland, California, or more than a dozen dealers around the US. Because the modular design packs flat, the CampOut is also available for shipping directly to your door to assemble at home.

Uncompromising: Ball and Buck’s collaborations with bestselling author Jack Carr are what outdoor retail dreams are made of
Jack Carr

The steam was how I knew it was done. Making food over an open flame feels different than making it on the stove at home. There is a feeling of ancient skill, an ability to survive on very little. You have dispensed with the comfort of the modern world and taken yourself back to the way ancient man made their food over a flame with wood gathered from the forest and minimal ingredients. At least, that is how it feels until I use my modern multitool to flip the steak on the cast iron skillet I placed over the fire I made with a modern lighter. Look, I am all about remembering who we used to be, but that doesn’t mean I want to dispense with ALL the comfort or the tools of today. Camping is one of the last activities of the modern family where you can leave all screens behind. And when I hit the woods, I like to go all out with something that will last me. Quality. Ruggedness. Dependability. Things that keep me taken care of. That is why I love Ball and Buck.

Something else I like to do when I go out there is read. Sure, it could be anything from a military memoir to instructions on how to make a steak in a cast iron skillet over an open flame, which may or may not be more done than it should be. But recently, it has been Jack Carr. The Fourth Option hit the shelves this summer, and it was one of the best books of the year. I love his work, so imagine my surprise when I discovered that he has an entire collection with Ball and Buck.

I tried the Yozma IN 10 Pro electric dirt bike, and it was nothing like riding an e-bike

I’ve spent plenty of time riding e-bikes, but I’d never ridden an electric dirt bike before. When I had the opportunity to try the Yozma IN 10 Pro, I was curious to see how the two would compare. As it turns out, they’re completely different experiences. The IN 10 Pro is fast, surprisingly loud, and considerably more powerful than anything I’d ridden before.

I didn’t push the bike anywhere near its advertised top speed of 50 mph, and I didn’t need to. Even at lower speeds, riding the IN 10 Pro was a lot of fun. Between the powerful acceleration, responsive steering, and the way it handled gravel and dirt, there was plenty to enjoy. And despite all that power, the ride was surprisingly comfortable, even over uneven ground. It didn’t take long for me to understand why people love riding dirt bikes.

Arc’teryx x BEAMS: The blend of Alpine tech and Tokyo style
Arc'teryx x Beams

The new Arc’teryx x BEAMS collection celebrates the brands’ 25-year collaboration and the blending of technical function with street-savvy style. The line highlights a re-creation of the 1998 Arc’teryx Theta hardshell, a Gamma softshell jacket, and Jogen bouldering pants. All come in the signature Kōyō color palette, modeled after Japan’s autumn leaves. 

I wore the Gamma Jacket and Jogen pants during the fall changeover in Virginia’s picturesque Shenandoah Valley, testing for warmth, wind resistance, and style. Here’s my take.
