AeroPress Premium Coffee Maker
The AeroPress Premium takes the coffee maker we know and love to the next level. The latest iteration utilizes the same 3-in-1 brew technology to provide a smooth, rich, grit-free coffee but now incorporates premium materials such as handmade double-wall borosilicate glass, stainless steel, and anodized aluminum. I’ve been using an AeroPress for years on the road, and it remains one of the most convenient, lightweight, packable, and effective ways to make fresh coffee. If you’d like to learn more about this coffee system, listen to Coffee for Overlanding on the XOverland Podcast.

Rumpl and Snow Peak Collaborate on Takibi Blanket
The new blanket is inspired by the Japanese tradition of Takibi Time (meaning to get outside, build a fire, and share moments with friends and family). Subsequently, it incorporates fire-resistant Snow Peak recycled fabric on one side (Rumpl’s recycled 20D ripstop nylon on the other), so there are no worries about relaxing around the campfire. Additional highlights include a DWR finish on the bottom for stain and water resistance, cape clips, corner loops, and Nanoloft insulation technology. Like all Rumpl Puffy blankets, the Takibi is machine washable and can be tumble-dried on a low setting.

Moment has long been at the forefront of phone videography and has recently announced its SuperCage Kickstarter. This sophisticated yet lightweight cage system features connections for a monitor, power, audio, USB-C ports, and a built in SD card reader. Other highlights include an industrial phone clamp, open rail profile with NATO compatibility, and an Arca base mount.

Hunter RMV Sherpa X :: Overland News
Expedition trucks are often prohibitively expensive, and while Hunter RMV’s Sherpa X is by no means cheap, it represents an impressive value at $177,000. That’s significantly less than the $254,076 starting price for a Winnebago Revel Sprinter and a fraction of the cost of a new EarthRoamer. The Sherpa X is underpinned by the legendary Chevy Kodiak C5500 and showcases a four-point articulating subframe, four-season composite habitation box, 800 amp hours of lithium batteries paired to 700 watts of solar, 85 gallons of freshwater, and so much more. You can enjoy a full tour of this impressive rig on the Hunter RMV YouTube.
