A Desert Abode Built From 12 Shipping Containers
Built from 12 shipping containers, this home offers both immersion and protection from the harsh desert, with generous views in all directions. Located just outside of Joshua Tree National Park, construction on the three-bedroom, two bath vacation property is set to commence in 2018. Sadly it’s a private residence, so most of us will never get to see it. → Read More

Tepui Tents SkyCamp Autana 4
Instead of a car roof, the Autana ($3,250) from Tepui perches atop an included six-foot tall wooden platform, creating a ready-made treehouse. The company also sends along fabric walls that drape underneath the tent to create an extra space for cooking, lounging, and storage. The tent is big enough for two sprawling adults or a cozy family of four. → Read More
Topo Designs Rocky Mountain Park Classic Duffel
Topo Designs was born in the foothills below Rocky Mountain National Park, so it’s only natural for it to make a bag that pays homage to this high-altitude playground. Burly seatbelt straps finished with leather handles wrap the 1,000-denier Cordura duffel ($130), and a big RMNP patch sits on the outside. Inside, there's a separate pocket to keep essentials organized. → Read More
Winnebago Just Designed the Ultimate Off-Road Van
Built on a 4x4 Mercedes chassis with a three-liter turbo diesel, the Revel ($134,800) comes stocked with solar power, heat, a full kitchen, a full-size bed, and a cassette toilet for extended off-grid forays. Out back, you get a massive 140-cubic-foot gear garage. On top, there's a roof rack for bikes, boats, and extra gear. → Read More
Taxa Mantis Trailer
The 18-foot Mantis trailer (from $32,500) is just short enough to fit in a standard garage, but long enough to sleep four adults, and high enough to stand in → Read More

Vadolibero Bike Butler

The Botanist Watch
Forget diamonds and gold, we dig this watch ($84) that comes embedded with various flowers (Baby’s Breath, Forget-Me-Nots, etc.) and moss. The plants surround a numberless, stainless steel face, and the timepiece has Citizen Miyota movement. → Read More
2sympleks Surgo Rescue Vehicle
This concept vehicle created by a Polish firm is designed to get rescuers deep into the mountains. The interior seats eight, and it comes stocked with high-angle rescue gear, plus two rescue litters up top. There's also a special suspension system that's designed to comfortably transport victims over rough terrain. → Read More
Renovo X Glenmorangie Original Bike
This road bike ($6,950) from Renovo is made almost entirely from American white-oak casks that were used to mellow scotch at the Glenmorangie Distillery. Renovo took advantage of the bent wood to create the curves of the frame, then completed the build with an Ultegra drivetrain and Velocity wheels. → Read More
Gus X Pendleton GT Rocker
This astronomically priced rocking chair ($1,950) is cool and ridiculous at the same time. The chair was designed by Gus Modern and is meant to resemble old-school airport lounge seating and '70s car interiors. It also has a Pendleton wool covering with a Southwestern motif. If the concept speaks to you, act now as there's only a limited run. → Read More
Aviator Nation Honda Rebel Motorcycle
To celebrate the 2017 return of its venerable Rebel motorcycle, Honda partnered with California lifestyle brand Aviator Nation to bedazzle one of its new bikes. In addition to some '70s sparkle on the tank, the bike also gets a custom saddle, mirrors, and taillight. This particular bike is part of a raffle, but Aviator Nations is happy to get you your own custom Rebel starting at $14,000. → Read More

Crater Lake Sculpture
Artist Christopher Warren used a spectrum of colored mat board to create this cartographically accurate 3-D sculpture ($2,000) of Oregon's Crater Lake. A mirror in the center mimics the water, and the piece is supposed to hang on your wall. If you're interested, Warren has models of other national parks, too. → Read More
