There’s hardly been a better time to escape into the outdoors. Campers, rooftop tents, travel trailers, and pretty much every bit of decent outdoor gear and apparel have all been getting lighter, stronger, and more accessible. This month, SylvanSport — one of our favorite go-to brands for featherweight outdoor vehicle accessories — announced the debut of the 2025 Micro Adventure Series just in time for its 20th-anniversary celebration.

Everything we know about SylvanSport’s 2025 Micro Adventure Series

The all-new series of vehicles and camping accessories include the à la carte Loft Rooftop Tent. It’s a revamped version of the company’s beloved RTT, now with a roomier, more durable, and more versatile design. The aluminum shell construction can take even more of a beating than the current model. It offers plenty of storage, thanks to the combination of multiple pockets on the interior and an integrated rack system built to carry whatever outdoor adventure gear you’re hauling. It’s all packed into an ultra-compact footprint that fits on the roof of almost any vehicle, including crossovers, SUVs, and sedans.

The company’s Go Easy trailer gets a serious upgrade, too, with the new Go Easy HD option. It offers the same great versatility for towing kayaks, bikes, and more. But new for 2025 is the addition of a beefier suspension package. Combined with a Dexter torsion axle, a 2-inch spacer lift, and larger, chunkier tires, the HD variation delivers better ground clearance, carrying capacity, and a significantly smoother ride. It’s purpose-built to help you get farther off-road than ever before. The standout feature here is the featherweight design that allows both the Go Easy and Go Easy HD models to be towed by almost any vehicle, even smaller sedans.

Finally, SylvanSport’s TraiLoft HD is a micro camper that combines the Loft Rooftop Tent and Go Easy HD trailer into a single, ultra-versatile towable. It’s designed to bring all of the convenience of the Loft RTT down closer to ground level, making it easier to tow and easier on your vehicle’s gas mileage.

The design also allows you to park your “bedroom” for the night without dealing with one of the most frustrating things about traditional rooftop tents — having to pack everything up and unpack everything again every time you want to move your vehicle, head off on a nearby hike, or run into town for groceries. The entire setup weighs less than 500 pounds, ensuring that it’s towable by almost anything on the road with at least four wheels.

Customers can snag the company’s flagship TraiLoft HD Micro Camper combo starting at $6,595.

Camping hack: A clever way to pack spices for your next adventure
This camping hack will spare you the trouble of bringing your entire spice rack
Plastic straws sitting in a jar

Cooking during a camping trip is a lot of fun, and while you do need to be a little bit creative with what you bring, don't think that you have to eat bland camp food! One of the best ways to add flavor to your camp meals is by bringing your own favorite spices, but bulky bottles can take up space, and you run the risk of spices spilling all over your gear. Washed-out Tic Tac boxes work pretty well, but if you're looking for something a bit more single-use, try a plastic straw. Here's how this camping hack works:
How to use a plastic straw to bring your spices on your next adventure

The setup is pretty straightforward and only requires a few items. First, there's your plastic straws. I recommend clear ones so you can see which spice is inside, but any will do. If you need a greater amount, try boba or smoothie straws. Next, you'll need a pair of scissors, pliers, a lighter or a match, and all of the spices you plan on bringing with you.

One of the best parts about going on an outdoor adventure is documenting it for your friends and family (and possibly the world) to see. To be honest, my trusty iPhone is pretty great at capturing awesome pics, but a lot of times, the moment calls for some professional gear. Professional equipment often has superior image quality, lens variety, and manual control settings that you wouldn't otherwise have at your disposal.

If you're looking to upgrade to professional equipment for your next outdoor trek, here's your packing list. Whether you're looking to take magazine-quality photos or just snap a couple good shots to hang in your office, this set of essentials won't turn you into an expert, like Chas Glatzer, but it will get you on the right path to being an adventure photography pro.
