Freedom came with more decisions than I was used to making. Every day required dozens of small choices: routes, weather, how far was too far, when a short trip became too much.
"New York isn't real. This is real," says Jon Krogh, emphasizing the contrast between urban life and the rawness of nature in Greenland. He believes that city life is a fantasy, where people work for money that doesn't exist outside their imaginations. The experience at Nomad Greenland aims to reconnect visitors with the reality of the natural world.
One of the most indispensable items for spring tent camping is a rain fly. Your tent probably comes with one, but when that thing gets absolutely drenched, the water will soak through and drip from the ceiling. So, install this tarp above your tent and at an angle, so the rain rolls right off it.
One of the most surprising things about van life is how convenient it is. For example, when we return from hikes, we can change clothes (and even shower) right at the trailhead.
GEHOcab's EDGE Explorer Trail looks less like something you'd find at an RV dealership and more like a structure designed for a remote research outpost, all hard facets, dark charcoal caps, and angular geometry that refuses to apologize for its size. The two-tone silver and black body reads almost monumental, and parked next to a RAM TRX or an F-150, it turns the truck into something closer to a tactical vehicle than family transportation.
The MK6 features a durable chassis based on an advanced suspension system that enables it to roll comfortably on rugged terrains and off-road destinations.
The Skycamp 4.0 gets several technical updates, including a Duracore fiber-reinforced plastic shell designed for UV and temperature resistance, and BreathWeave high-density polycotton canvas that addresses condensation issues without heavy waterproof coatings.
When my neighbor Tom celebrated his 65th birthday last month, his kids threw him what they thought was the perfect party: comfortable chair, cozy slippers, and a stack of crossword puzzles. Meanwhile, three doors down, 68-year-old Margaret was booking her first skydiving lesson. The contrast struck me-why do we assume retirement means slowing down when some people are just getting started on their biggest adventures?
On day five of an eight-day, 500-mile mountain bike race in Africa, Piers Constable found himself sprawled in the dirt for the second time. First he'd crashed on his left side, then on his right, until he was, in his own words, "muddied and bloodied," staring at a bike that was very much broken. He remembered a feed station a couple miles away and realized he had two choices: quit or run. He picked up the bike and ran.
Many glamping places are right off the highway. With Backland, we wanted an immersive nature experience-total comfort, with unobstructed views. The camp sits on an immense and grassy meadow ringed by an unnamed forest. Ten nature suites looked more like futuristic Quonset huts than white tents.
For some, it means camping inside their toned-up vehicles, and for others, it's to snuggle up in a towing mobile home at the end of the day's fun. In the latter category, there are choice and one that's really caught my attention is the new Wingcube.
Ideal luxury motorhomes don't fuss about your adventure gear and supplies. Their primary focus there is a premium small home on wheels that may cater to the rugged roads, but leaves you guessing when you reach the fathomed wilderness. Canadian RV company, Leisure Travel Vans, is changing this notion with the newly revealed Unity TBX series that has a spacious pass-through cabinet to carry along a great deal of equipment you may need in your time outside of your house.
But here is what that $2,600 will get you: 6061-T6 aluminum frame (note that these frames don't have internal cable routing) Fork: 140mm RockShox Pike Select Shock: RockShox Deluxe Wheels: Stans Flow S2 Comp 29 Brakes: SRAM DB8 Stealth Drivetrain: SRAM Eagle 90 Transmission OR Shimano XT (mechanical) Tires: Maxxis Rekon EXO - 29×2.5 Cockpit: PNW Components and Ergon mashup
German brand RB Expeditions has created something that defies the rules with their custom 6×6 motorhome. Built on a MAN TGS chassis, this $1.8 million machine represents the pinnacle of go-anywhere luxury living. The six-wheel drive configuration makes it an exceptional off-roader across sand, mud, snow, and rock. The expedition-grade suspension allows this 12-ton vehicle to traverse terrain that would strand conventional RVs miles away. Ground clearance exceeds 16 inches, and the approach and departure angles are engineered for serious obstacles.
AllTrails, a hiking app with trail maps and reviews, dug into insights from their 90 million-plus members and team of trail experts to spotlight lesser-known places where the trail alone is worth planning a trip around. Their guide, Travel-Worthy Trails for 2026, spotlights eight unexpected destinations around the world where the trail is the destination.
When Kia revealed the PV5 WKNDR, it demonstrated the highly flexible and modular interior of an electric van, which could easily and efficiently be customized to maximize space and function. This idea is now translating - thanks for Sussex - into feasibility soon.
