The Go Fast Camper is for folks who want to take a home anywhere in the world

Whoever said “home is where the heart is” probably never tried to drag a home across a mountain range. While setting up an abode in the great outdoors may sometimes be something of a hassle, a new camper may just be our saving grace. Meet the Go Fast Camper, one of the lightest popup camper models available, and one that promises a setup time of just a matter of seconds. So if you don’t want your camper dictating what adventures you can and can’t embark upon, the Go Fast may be something to consider.

Weighing in at less than 200 lbs., the Go Fast is comprised of a steel space frame, aluminum hardware, and honeycomb composite floor and roof panels. When fully assembled, it provides an impressive 94 inches (that’s nearly eight feet) of standing room, and enough sleeping room for two adults. And that doesn’t mean two small adults — both folks can be up to 6’6″ and ought to be able to fit quite comfortably in the camper.

The frame lower is wrapped either in a Sumbrella canvas or formed aluminum panels, which is to say that Go Fast will soon have both soft and hard-sided versions available. The CNC-machined aluminum hinges promise to be durable, while the boxed aluminum tent chassis with integrated utility tracks can carry “everything from surfboards to a load of lumber.” The roof sealing system claims to require neither glue nor sealant, and because of the camper’s modular design, you can actually adjust the layout of the camper.

For example, you can remove part of the floor, so that one person can go on an adventure while the other sleeps, or make room for a couch if you’re traveling alone. Plus, the easily removable tent fabric and mattress covers can all be cleaned with a hose.

All parts are made in Montana and are currently available for reservations on the Go Fast website. Supported vehicles include 1995 to 2018 Tacomas, 2015 to 2018 Colorado/Canyon models, and 2009 to 2018 F-150s, but only those with 5.5 or 6-foot beds. The $500 pre-order is fully refundable, but if you choose to go through with your purchase, the deposit will be applied to the camper of your choosing. Units are expected to ship in May 2018.

TORRAS COOLiFY Cyber offers ultimate personal cooling to beat the summer heat

TORRAS COOLiFY Cyber personal AC worn outdoors

Imagine this: The summer heat is baking down on you from above. You're close to overheating, and you desperately need to cool down. The problem is you don't have quick access to a vehicle, nor can you retreat indoors to cool down quickly with central AC. Drinking some water and staying hydrated might help, to a point, but otherwise, you're stuck in that heat, dare we say, suffering. That's the perfect time to throw on TORRAS' COOLiFY Cyber, a cutting-edge wearable air conditioner. Wait, what? That's right, it slips right over your neck to keep you cool and comfortable. Thanks to the 6,000mAh rechargeable battery built-in, it can provide up to 13 hours of cooling on a single charge. But that's not all it does. A fan mode provides extra airflow, ideal for hot, musty, or humid weather. On colder days, it even provides a little heat. So, it's incredibly versatile and one of the most innovative personal comfort solutions on the market. Let's talk a little more about why you might use it.

Cutting-edge personal comfort when you need it most

The default scenario is when you're outside in the heat, like standing around at your kid’s sporting event, visiting a local park, on a walk or run, or just about any time you’re outside. The COOLiFY Cyber can provide the right temperature for what you need, delivering an ice-cold feeling. It's an excellent companion for those who have trouble with temperature regulation and often find themselves facing uncomfortable conditions, even where others seem fine. For example, if you're hot at home or while visiting friends or family when no one else seems to be, you can turn to the COOLiFY CYBER to get your body comfortable again.
