Snow Peak Pack & Carry Fireplace XL
Snow Peak has just released the XL version of their popular stainless steel folding Pack & Carry fireplace. The new XL is 170 percent bigger than the size large, ensuring that you have plenty of warmth and ambience for the entire camp. Because the Fold & Carry packs flat, it can be squeezed into tight spaces, like your overlanding rig or SUV. Evenly distributed holes promote airflow so that your fire burns consistently, and four legs provide a stable platform.

Bison Gear Universal Wheel Mount
To be honest, I didn’t go through the whole checkout process on the Bison Gear website, so I can’t comment on their shipping timeframes or cost (they’re based in Poland), but nonetheless, their Universal Gear Mount is a clever solution for quickly and easily attaching accessories to your spare tire (and easily remove them after a trip). Available as individual powder-coated steel brackets that secure around the outside of your rear-mounted spare using a ratchet strap, just bolt on specific mounts for peripherals like a shovel or jerry can.

Kickass 12-volt Travel Oven
The Kickass travel oven is a 12-volt food heating solution that was designed for use in vehicles traveling through the Outback. This compact cooker has a heating range from 194 to 356°F but only draws a minimal amount of electricity, 130 watts (10.8 amps) to be exact. Its integrated timer allows you to reheat or cook for up to 120 minutes with automatic shutoff. A latching door and included mounting brackets mean that the Kickass oven is ready to be mounted in your rig and used on the trail. Imagine heating up your dinner while you drive the final miles to camp. A fused Anderson-style connector is included, making electrical integration relatively simple.

Van Compass Air System Mount
There are many benefits to having an onboard air compressor, like being able to reinflate your tires at the trailhead, or opening all of the doors and blowing the dust out of your vehicle. If you own a 2019+ Mercedes Sprinter VS30 and have been thinking about adding onboard air, make your installation a little bit easier with Van Compass’ air system mount. This specially designed plate allows you to attach a variety of compressors from ARB or Viair (and some others) next to your vehicle’s cabin air intake filter without any drilling. Installation can generally be completed in under an hour.

Essentially Engineered Hydro Expander
I can personally attest to the frustration that comes from not being able to use my vehicle’s cup holders with larger mugs and water bottles. Inevitably, this leads to me riding with a Klean Kanteen pinched between my legs or driving one-handed while I attempt to drink hot coffee. Neither of these scenarios ends well. But here’s a solution from Essentially Engineered: an adjustable water bottle holder that is large enough to accommodate your insulated Hydro Flasks, Nalgenes, and large coffee mugs. Just place the adapter into your vehicle’s cup holder and twist the base to lock the Hydro Expander into place. Now you are ready to drive with your large drink close at hand.
