We’ve reached the final fortnight of winter, which means it’s nearly time to shelve the skis and get the camping gear ready for nights under the stars. As you start thinking about outdoor adventures and who you want to bring on your next epic road trip, Tepui is challenging you to take your plans to the next level.

You’ve probably come across the brand’s gear on your Instagram feed by now. You know those tents that perch atop vehicles, typically with majestic mountains looming in the background? That would be the work of Tepui, a badass company that believes off-road adventures and expeditions are a staple of life.

“Our company was founded on a road trip,” says founder Evan Currid. “The adventure and spontaneity of the open road is at the core of our company and we want to share that with our community. Whether it’s a road trip in their home state or an excursion across the country, we want to support others as they embark on their dream trip.”

Ten finalists will get $2,000 to fund the trip (five of those 10 will get an additional $2,000), Tepui gear, and high fives from all their friends.

“We see the Endless Adventure as a way to get people outside — first-time campers, families, and avid adventurers. It’s an opportunity for Tepui to reflect on the last eight years of adventure and thank our extended family by supporting their dream adventures.”

Anker Solix F3800: What you need to know
Anker Solix portable power station

I have a confession to make: I care about the way my portable power station looks. Sure, a power station is not something you would generally care about when it comes to looks. It is, after all, most likely sitting in your garage alongside other clutter and items you might keep there. But I consider my garage another room of the house, and I made sure it looks that way, intentionally. Design and functionality are important to me, so that’s why I fell in love with the Anker Solix F3800 when I first saw it. From a distance, with the handle extended – and if you squint just so slightly – you’d think you were looking at a Rimowa carry-on luggage.

Portable power stations are all the rave these days. They come in all sorts of shapes, sizes, features and storage capacities. And even at the smallest sizes, they can be incredibly heavy. So you can imagine what a power station meant to back up your home would weigh (hint: the Anker Solix F3800 is over 100 lbs).

So you've made up your mind and you're ready to commit to the one-person tent lifestyle. Good for you. These bad boys are faster, lighter, and more efficient than anything else on the market. And while fast and light are always nice, take it from us: You don't want to get caught up simply chasing the lowest weight and smallest packed size possible. Don't get us wrong, both are important aspects of a one-person backpacking tent, but they aren't the end-all-be-all factor in the segment.

Any solo backpacking tent worth buying is both small and compact. Why else would you buy one? With that being said, unless you've got strict goals for total pack weight and/or volume, neither one should be your primary concern when choosing a one-person tent. So, what makes a one-man backpacking tent a winner? Simple: Livability.
