Some of you may have noticed... Scout made the Featured section here on ExPo. I'm very humbled that I was asked to participate. Working with Brandon Libby was a treat. Give the article a look, if you haven't already. Thanks!

Also released on the same day, Scout made the cover of OutdoorX4. Talk about shock. An ExPo article AND the cover of OutdoorX4 in the same day!!! I'm beside myself. I'm truly humbled. Please pickup a copy of OutdoorX4 and have a look. They are doing great things there, as well.

Awesome! That photo was taken just getting in to Sinks Canyon outside of Lander, Wyoming in late June. Was pretty windy that evening. I wish I had more time to explore down there!

I'd love to make it out to Wyoming. Beautiful country

Well, I was in Bozeman but job situation is taking me elsewhere for now. Hoping to get back there sooner than later. When I get back out there, you're more than welcome to come out to Montana for some exploration!

Definitely!!

So, How is the Solar mount setup holding up on the hood? How did you do that? I am trying to figure a way to do it up top with the RTT but may be more trouble than it's worth

Right through the hood...

It's held up well. Rock solid!

If you find a way to mount a panel up top with the tent, please share. I want one more

I'm trying to figure it out, too. The Yeti 400 I'm using takes a max of 120 input so just the 100w briefcase panel I have will do, I guess. I took the wet box cover off and use it to store my annex (wrapped in a tarp and strapped down), but think I may try to make a mounting bracket to mount at a slight angle. Perhaps making it like an air damn on a tractor-trailer?

Check out @garretthanska on Instagram. He built a windshield for his CVT tent.

I have yet to use my annex. Too heavy. I already carry too much weight.
