If you’ve looked at our beginner’s guide to kayaking, you may already feel the need and want to go out on the water and have some fun. Unfortunately, hard-body Kayaks can be quite expensive, especially if you want something that will help you dip your toes into the whole activity. Thankfully, Academy Sports has the inflatable INTEX Sport Series Tacoma K2 on sale for just $100, down from $150, meaning you can try your hand at kayaking without breaking the bank.

The Tacoma K2 is an inflatable kayak with a shallow hull and a streamlined body that can cut through the water and provide some good stability for those just starting out. It has a carry weight of around 400 pounds, meaning that two people can use it at a time, and the backrests also have some good adjustability to be able to sit comfortably. There’s also some storage behind the second seat that’s somewhat covered from the elements and water, although it’s far from a waterproof bulkhead. Still, it’s a good place to store a backpack, food, or even electronics, as long as you secure them in a water-tight bag first.

As for the kit itself, it comes with everything you’ll need to get started on the waves, including two aluminum paddles that can be taken apart to help with storage. One of the big positives of an inflatable kayak is that it doesn’t require a rack on your car to transport it, as you can deflate it and stuff it in its carrying bag, which comes included with the kit. The whole thing weighs around 36 pounds. You also get a repair patch kit that should help extend the life of the kayak, at least long enough for you to decide whether you want to continue kayaking and get a nicer kayak or not.

Overall, the Tacoma K2 from INTEX is a good inflatable kayak option, especially for beginners, and with this deal from Academy Sports bringing it down to just $100, you won’t feel it in your wallet too much. Alternatively, if this doesn’t fit your needs, check out some of the best kayaks for different needs, such as paddling and camping.

Festival camping tents glowing from flashlights at night

Festival season is right around the corner, and if you've never been festival camping before, it's quite the trip. Personally, I think there's no better way to connect with people in the music scene, and you're bound to make some friends along the way. Whether you're planning to enjoy Glastonbury, Coachella, or the renaissance faire, here's are my top tips for festival camping, including what to expect, what to bring, and how to make the most of your time.
What to pack for festival camping

The essentials for festival camping are more or less the same when you look at the basics. Just like with normal camping, you'll want to be as prepared as possible for any weather you might encounter. Between the scorching sun, chilly nights, and sudden rain, pack for these surprises. A tent and a good sleeping system are a great start.

Tested: Can you truly camp in comfort with a compact SUV like Mazda’s CX-50?
It's smaller than most other options, but is it all you need?
Mazda CX-50 Meridian in the woods

Overlanding is becoming increasingly popular, with some enthusiasts spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on their setups. However, it doesn’t need to be that way. You can have an enjoyable and comfortable time in the great outdoors with a pretty accessible small SUV.

To test this theory, I borrowed a Mazda CX-50 Meridian Edition, tossed some supplies in the back, and headed to a primitive camping spot in Upstate New York. So, just how comfortable can things get with an affordable vehicle, some basic camping supplies, and a free spot by some water?

Gr8tops’ JPOD converts your Jeep Wrangler into a “Personalized Overlanding Den”
The teardrop-style "pod" adds legit overlanding basecamp functionality to almost any stock Wrangler.

Jeep Wranglers and teardrop trailers have been staples of the overlanding scene long before there even was a modern overlanding scene. But South Carolina's Gr8tops is the first company we're aware of to combine the two into its one-of-a-kind JPOD conversion kit.

The JPOD or "Jeep Personalized Overlanding Den" cleverly modifies a stock Jeep Wrangler Unlimited to accommodate what amounts to a teardrop travel trailer directly to the frame. It starts with Gr8tops' JTRUK conversion to remove the back half of the Jeep body without cutting the frame. From there, the company replaces what it took with a squaredrop-style "pod" that's purpose-built for overlanding.
