After three years and dozens of recoveries, the MAXTRAX MKII boards remain the most reliable self-recovery tool in our kit. The price stings, but these boards have pulled us out of situations where cheaper alternatives would have snapped.
The ARB Compact Compressor is not the cheapest or the quietest, but after two years of permanent mounting and regular use on 35-inch tires, it has proven to be one of the most reliable air-up solutions available for overlanding rigs.
The Jackery Explorer 1000 handles the essentials well: camp fridge, laptops, lights, and drone charging. It is reliable and intuitive, but the Li-ion battery chemistry and proprietary solar ecosystem hold it back from a higher rating.
At 100 grams, the Garmin inReach Mini 2 is the most capable satellite communicator you can clip to your pack or dash. Global two-way messaging, reliable SOS, and Iridium coverage make it essential gear for anyone who travels beyond cell range.
The iKamper Skycamp 3.0 delivers on its promise of a one-minute camp setup with a King-size sleeping area that rivals your bed at home. After a full year of weekend trips and two longer expeditions, here's why it earns its steep price tag — and where it falls short.

We buy our own gear and our ratings aren't for sale. Affiliate links help keep the lights on, but they never influence our reviews.
