My first cast was stiff and awkward, the fly snagging a low-hanging branch. I felt a pang of embarrassment and frustration at the creek’s smallness. Beside me, Jeff worked his 3-weight with ease, a bow-and-arrow cast sending his fly effortlessly beneath the tangled rhododendron. I couldn’t help but smile. The fishing wasn’t the point—not really. Being here, finally at home—in the place I love most, sharing this time with an old friend—that was the point.

You don’t need a fancy truck camper to enjoy the outdoors, however, I feel like there's some essential equipment that everyone should have. Another cool thing is that while all of this equipment is excellent for camping, it’s also super convenient to have as a backup in an emergency situation.

Have you ever wondered if it's possible or even desirable to live full-time in a truck camper on the East Coast? We're going to find out together. If you don't know, I'm a Carolina boy. I've been out west for about 8 years now. I've met incredible people, made lifelong friends, had amazing adventures, and have enjoyed every second of my time spent in these beautiful Western States. But in October, I'm headed home to the land of barbecue and Bluegrass: Southern Appalachia.

I don't have anything for dinner tonight besides rice, so if I want protein, I have to catch it. My tools are a Redington Classic Trout 9ft 4-weight rod, a 5x leader, and a single fly - the X-Caddis. For a complete gear list, check out the link below.

It's only fair that I warn you that this is a hopelessly addicting sport that took hold of me in a big way. And that could happen to you, too. But if you're determined to learn, I'll give you three of my best tips in this episode that might help you along.

In this video, I am fishing with my trusty Redington Classic Trout 4wt, and I will be exclusively using one fly: the x-caddis. If you want more info on gear, watch my fly fishing gear video and then come back.

I didn't move into a truck camper full-time, thinking it would be all sunshine and rainbows. Oh no, I was expecting some challenges, and this month delivered.

After spending a year with the planar heater and testing it across a variety of conditions, including a PNW winter, I'm prepared to share my thoughts on it. This is my review for the Planar Portable Diesel Heater 2kW

A comprehensive summary and review of my new refrigerator, the ICECO VL 45 Pro S.

I've been living in the OVRLND camper full-time for nearly 5 months now. It's a lifestyle that keeps material possessions to a minimum but has high returns on changing scenery and time outdoors. However, in the last few weeks I found myself frequenting places I'd already been to. In an effort to shake it up I found a lake on the map that was totally new to me and decided to give it a shot.

In this post, we'll review the 15 pieces of gear you need to get started. Before we begin, I want to make a few blanket statements. The gear we're looking at today is primarily for trout fishing on Western rivers and streams.

I now have a rooftop solar panel installed. In this post I'll go over the tools I used and how I installed my Renogy 100W Flexible Solar Panel on the OVRLND Truck Camper.

I've lived full-time in the OVRLND Camper for three and a half months. While the rig has been mostly great, I've noticed some chronic annoyances and even experienced a gear failure. Today, I will talk about those issues and share my solutions.

Hey everyone, welcome to another episode of the Road Life series. In this episode, we're going off-script and just hanging out. I'll share some honest insights into what it's really like living in a truck camper full-time. I can't believe it's already been three months; time has flown by!

Today, I will show you how to make a super easy chuck box stew. I'm not a professional chef, but I'm really into health and nutrition. Before we begin, I want to clarify that this post is more about a cooking method than a specific recipe. The way I make stew varies, depending on what's in season and what I can find at the grocery store.

Today's project is a breeze. We're going to discuss the simple hanging table that's a part of my rig.

I spent a beautiful and chilly morning with an awesome team to create photos NOC Provision’s latest campaign. The foggy river backdrop made for a stunning views and equally stunning images.
