  • Newest addition to the family and the marmot, Koa John. We bolted a plate to the existing bench seat hole patterns, attached seat belt connectors via climbing bolts, and padded each side of the plate with a recycled Yoga matt. Easily removable via the 4 bolts once we are at our camping destinations.
  • Just got a mega upgrade from @2920sleep. We had some freezing foam issues and a hard time finding low VOC materials until these guys came along. If you’ve struggled for a good van mattress solution hit these guys up. You’ll be psyched! -» Mammoth Lakes, Ca • @2920sleep
  • Testing the baby hammock set up with @reese_the_explorer anticipating our new addition to the family. We used 4 climbing bolts attached to the steel frame -» Mammoth Lakes, Ca.
