High desert camp

The storm rolled in over the Cascades at midnight. We spent the morning tracking down a small leak in the roof fan seal.

Parked on BLM land outside Bend. The solar panels are fully charged, and the wood stove is keeping the eighty square feet warm.

THE RIG CONFIGURATION

Built for the backcountry

We spent nine months converting a high-roof cargo van into an off-grid shelter. From the lithium battery bank to the custom cedar ceiling, every inch was planned for self-reliance.

Our complete build specifications, wiring diagrams, and the essential gear keep us moving through the winter months.
