Jamming the Jeep Full of Gear
This vlog takes you through how I packed my Jeep for the 12-weeks in Oregon at Lost Valley. I managed to pack in the Texas heat and humidity on the first day of my roadtrip – before arriving to Salina, Kansas.
I can’t just get enough of “Taylor’s Time-lapse!” So there is another in this episode.

Packing The Adventuremobile – Photos
What’s an adventure without your trusty steed?
I’m pretty sure I overpacked, but I would rather have something and not need it, than need it and not have it. And I somehow managed to have left over space to see out the rear window, see all rear blind spots, and have quick access to the cooler and my camera gear.
So far, I’ve had to stop several times to secure my bike, the yoga mats on the roof, and readjust the roof bag and straps. The downside to the bag is the sail effect while diving in high winds…

I took several photo as I progressively packed:
