SPACE Trailer

Now that we've figured out our transportation (van) and living quarters (wall tent) we were left with the problem of hauling our gear around. We researched different utility trailers but never really found what we needed until we discovered the SPACE Trailer. Since getting hooked up with one of these beauties we're now carefree and unintimidated by cross country travel! In contrast, a couple years ago we traveled from Minnesota to Florida in our vintage 27ft Travco motorhome. That was a neat experience and all but the benefit of having a cargo trailer instead of a 10,000 lb motorhome is convenience! We make more stops along the way, can find parking easily and if necessary leave the trailer at our camp when we make runs for supplies/food. Having one of these has also allowed us to convert our van into a small (clutter free) command center/bedroom. 

We tow the SPACE around with our 2WD Astro van and barely notice it. There are also some neat add-ons that make life just a bit easier. For example: we have the adjustable Space Bars installed which works perfectly for our 90 watt solar panel (the photo above was shot a few days prior to mounting the panel).

The SPACE was conceived of by a couple of mad geniuses (Todd and Brennan Olson), two brothers from Waconia Minnesota. Visit their farm and you'll understand what I'm talking about. It's part theme park mixed with free range chickens and the coolest bachelor pad (barn) you'll ever see!

Nomadic Case

3/5/2015

Another great gift from my husband is my Nomadic pencil case. The multi pockets keep the little things organized and everything has its place. The tiny outer pocket holds my iPad accessory (card reader). A larger pocket keeps my favorite pens from getting scratched. The small mesh inner pockets hold my compact flash cards. The main compartment keeps erasers, pen and pencil refills, extra camera battery, pencil sharpener, etc, etc.

I love to grab this pencil case knowing that I don't have to worry about forgetting something. I've handled the case daily for over a year and it still looks like new. Great product!

Mountain Khakis Field BagĀ 

2/13/2015

My Field Bag was an anniversary gift from Kurt. I love how rugged, beautiful and functional it is. I usually don't carry bags or purses, I rather put things away in my cargo pockets but I needed a new bag to carry my computer equipment safely. I've owned several bags over the years and this one is my favorite.

It's functional. As compact as the bag looks, I'm able to carry laptop, iPad, hard drive, battery chargers, pencil case and note pad all together safely. The bag's interior has two roomy compartments and a detachable zipped pocket. The exterior has a zipped pocket and an open sleeve. I love the simplicity of the design. I'm able to put my gear away in a matter of seconds without having to struggle with zips, clips and tight spaces.

It's durable. When we are out and about, there are more important things than worrying about a bag or its content. The material is thick enough that I don't think twice when I set the bag on the ground. The waxed canvas and darker color has helped with stains, dirt and rain.

It's beautiful. The design is simple, the combo of leather and canvas is timeless. The details are what get me the most. The interior zipped pocket features a topographic map, on the strap the logo is embossed in the leather, the clip buckles are made out of robust brushed metal. Even if harmony and beauty are not my focus when I go to grab my laptop, my mind picks up on those details and they promote contentment and creativity in me.
