Goodwipes: The Traveling Man’s Get-Clean-Quick Method

We’ve all been in that pickle where you can’t properly bathe, cleanse, or shower.

Maybe you’re taking a delayed red-eye flight and have to head straight to a wedding upon landing or an urgent business meeting came up and you’re just leaving the golf course after just finishing 18-holes. Maybe you’re a dedicated guy who works out daily at your workplace gym and just doesn’t have enough time to shower due to an early meeting, or you’re a man who has plans to embark on this year’s music festival circuit with just a van and your dog, or maybe from time to time you just sweat a ton like every other normal human being. In any of these cases, it’s hard to know what to do when you can’t take a quick rinse.

onX and Toyota join forces for nationwide trail cleanup and revival project
Our national public lands are under unprecedented threat. Now you can chip in to do something about it.
Three men clearing a trail with the onX/Toyota Trail Revival Project.

Our public lands face unprecedented threats right now. Massive funding cuts have fueled staff shortages at every National Park Service, and the trails and backcountry roads of every NPS unit are suffering. Thankfully, onX joined forces with Toyota to do something about it via a nationwide trail cleanup and revival project.

Beginning next month and throughout the summer, the two brands are rallying local communities to work together at five (for now) events in California, Colorado, Montana, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania. The goal is to address some of the biggest threats to our favorite outdoor spaces, namely the loss of access to trails due to overuse, deterioration, and under-resourced land management organizations. onX and Toyota will provide the resources, including trucks, safety gear, clean-up equipment (think chainsaws), and whatever other tools volunteers might need to clear out trail debris and trash. Volunteers will bring the brawn to get it all done.

These initiatives will particularly affect the road along the Spur, which is the roadway that connects Gatlinburg to Pigeon Forge. In order to ensure as little disruption as possible for visitors to the park, the National Park Service are implementing a series of temporary single-lane closures.

This maintenance is routine, and will include activities like mowing, ditch cleaning, fallen tree and branch removal, and litter pickup. This way, the Sur will remain safe and scenic for the 2025 season. Here are the dates:

For hardcore overlanders who can't bear to be without their creature comforts, we're living in a Golden Age of high-tech, off-road-ready rigs. Missouri's 27North has been at the forefront of the modern overlanding movement, and it's all-new Venture X campervan is a testament to that.

It's a tech-forward adventure van designed for all levels of overlander, from first-timers to families. Underpinned by the industry-standard Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 170 platform, powered by a 4-cylinder high-output diesel, it rides and drives easy on-road, while the standard AWD system and all-terrain tires ensure it can tackle off-road trails, too. The company's Adventure Package adds a 50-inch light bar, ditch lights, a rooftop tent, and more to the mix, making this a seriously capable go-anywhere campervan.
