Midland
Midland’s MXT575 MicroMobile® Two-Way Radio packs a punch with power and features unlike anything else.
With 50 Watts of power, the MXT575 is the most powerful GMRS radio allowed by law. With this power, outdoor adventurers will be able to take their explorations to new levels. Not only does the MXT575 increase radio range, it also brings unbeatable voice clarity to ensure crisp and clear communication.
One of the MXT575’s most popular features is the Fully-Integrated Control Microphone. With all the controls on the microphone you can stash the radio unit away. The MXT575 brings power to adventure without crowding the dashboard.
With the addition of NOAA Weather Scan, the MXT575 gives outdoor adventurers peace of mind. This weather technology keeps adventurers alert in the chance severe weather rolls in unexpectedly, giving them the time they need to react.
The MXT575’s radio unit also includes a USB-C charging port for the fastest charge time on devices like walkie talkies, tablets, and cellphones. Other features include eight repeater channels, split tone repeater capabilities, and 142 privacy codes to minimize unwanted interactions. The MXT575 operates on both narrow and wide bands.
When you’re off-grid, you can trust Midland to keep you connected.

23 Zero
The Armadillo X features an aerodynamic tapered front ABS polycarbonate shell for reduced wind resistance and noise during travel and the black high-gloss finish wicks away snow, rain, and dust, making for a polished clean-up.
It’s raised X-Frame design allows for super-fast set-up and take-down. It’s unique gas-strut-assisted hinge glides open and pulls close with little effort. A comfort grip pull-strap coupled with stowable shock cord reduces tent billowing and tuck time for a seamless one-motion close. The window opposite the entrance is quickly accessible to store and access your gear without having to fully deploy the tent, so you can store your sleeping bag and pillow inside.
Side deployment preferences are available to allow for optimized placement on your choice of overland rig.
The Armadillo X also includes Light Suppression Technology® (LST®) – a leading-edge fabric which is a combination of UV treatment and an advanced Polyurethane coating maintaining up to 15% cooler temperatures inside the tent. And there is almost zero light penetration until any windows are opened so you can sleep better than ever in our roof-top tents.
The 2 inch Rebound Foam® mattress is newly engineered with a higher latex content to resume its original shape much faster than traditional high-density foam mattresses. A water-resistant, breathable, removable, and quilted topper ensures supreme comfort.

Wildland Coffee
“I need coffee in the morning but french presses are a pain and I won’t drink instant coffee”. “When I overland I don’t even make coffee because of the mess”. Do either of these sound like you?

We didn’t think it would be possible either until we did it. Whether you love a smooth medium roast or a bold dark roast, Wildland has something for you.

Primus
The Moja Single Burner Camp Stove is easy to carry along, yet robust enough to hold bigger pots. A perfect sidekick when cooking over an open fire, when an extra burner is needed while barbecuing or is the optimum solution when creating an ultra-compact kitchen solution in a boat/van.
If planning for a large group for the jumbo batch of Paella, remove the lid to gain extra space and have the pot centered over the flame.
The powerful 3000 W burner with precise flame control allows for boiling or frying with accurate heat. Removable stainless steel burner grate and drip tray make for easy cleanup, and a wood-trimmed handle ensures a comfortable grip and locks the stove closed when bringing the Moja along.
