Lone Peak’s Story
About a yr in the past I went on an elk looking time out close to Mt. Rainier in Washington State. Me and three shut pals rode grime bikes up a washed out wooded area carrier street for about ten miles, hiked every other five, and made a base camp for a week-long pursuit of the elusive Roosevelt Elk that are native to the area. Our searching time out now not solely proved to be unsuccessful, however we have been additionally in for a nasty shock when we again to our vehicles.
As we pulled up to our motors I observed some thing strange. My truck seemed different. The Tepui rooftop tent and Thule rack have been lacking as was once my bike trailer. The fact of the state of affairs sunk in. Someone had taken a sawzall to my rack and stolen my tent and trailer. Adding insult to harm my home windows have been smashed in and the entirety in my truck used to be gone, even the relaxation of my Dalmore 18 year Scotch. Damn. I ended up being fortunate in contrast to the relaxation of the vans at the trailhead. Their tires have been slashed alongside with the home windows broken. I ought to at least force domestic to my household that day. But what about the motorcycles? How would we get them again barring a trailer? It turns out you can put grime bikes in the mattress of a truck if you do not have a tent in the way. I bet there is a silver lining in each situation.
I lower back domestic and went again to my day job as the proprietor and lead product fashion designer for Rhino Camera Gear. We make equipment for filmmakers to get extra innovative shots. If you’ve got ever viewed a at the back of the scenes of a Hollywood film and considered a man pushing any other man on a train-track with a digicam on it; we make these however simply a lot smaller. I’ve been jogging this commercial enterprise for over 12 years and have won a loopy quantity of trip in product design, sourcing, and manufacturing ever due to the fact that I paid a excessive college youngster $20 to train me CAD so lengthy ago. As a employer we have had a lot of wins. We’ve raised over $1M on Kickstarter crowdfunding our merchandise with early adopters who desire to journey the highs and lows of startups alongside founders. We acquired a product into thirty two Apple retail stores. We have over forty shops that elevate our merchandise all over the world.
I have a confession to make though. I do not simply care about filmmaking. Don’t get me wrong, I care deeply about our clients and their ride with our merchandise however I’m now not a filmmaker. I’m an explorer. I’ll in no way neglect what a buddy stated when he noticed all the tools in my storage for the first time, “Bro, you are an adventurer!” Motorsports, hiking, surfing, rappelling, spearfishing, fly fishing, backpacking, hunting, you identify it. Adventures are the frequent thread that knits the relaxation of life’s experiences together. I’ve been blessed to journey some incredible adventures all over the world growing content material for Rhino. There’s nothing higher than sitting round a furnace with shut pals and some beer recalling all of the shut calls and loopy matters we’ve got done. I would not exchange them for the world.
Going lower back to my truck though. There’s a large problem. I nevertheless have no tent and summer season is coming. You see my tent used to be my haven. Every 12 months I spend dozens of nights tenting out on lonely peaks or by means of nonetheless lakes expecting the morning catch. A roof pinnacle tent is so functional. I can take one of my three children on speedy in a single day adventures growing lovely recollections dreaming about the future and the place their lives will take them. What ought to change that?
I used to be on one of my afternoon adventures sitting alongside the Icicle River in Leavenworth, Washington about forty five minutes from my domestic in Wenatchee. This is every other one of my havens. It used to be January and I was once sitting flawlessly content material in the center of a snow storm shielded by way of a cave and warmed via a small fire. I’m about 30 toes from the frozen-over river and possibly 2 hundred toes from the road. I see a Toyota Tacoma pull up alongside the street with a camper shell on it that partly hangs over the cab with a hinge on the front. He jumps on his tailgate and opens up the shell to disclose a tent and drowsing platform.
My idea went into a frenzy. That was once a exceptional notion and so a lot higher than a roof pinnacle tent. You ought to truely stand up in the mattress of your truck and have room to cook dinner or prep equipment alternatively of being caught laying down in a small space. I put out my hearth and trudged via the snow lower back toward my truck. I had to locate out extra about these campers. After doing some lookup I used to be a little disheartened. These “wedge” fashion campers have been way out of my charge range. They fee greater than $10K and you had to force to their area to get it installed. What ought to be done? My coronary heart raced a little at the daunting mission I knew I had to take on. I’d strive to make one myself that fee half of the fee and we might ship without delay to customers. Game on.
Over the subsequent few months, my thinking was once absolutely bump off with designing a way to manufacture a camper for 1/2 the rate of the opposition besides sacrificing first-class or features. Product layout is very a great deal an iterative process. Design it, stare at your CAD and locate the flaws, then definitely remodel it. My first format had no climate sealing and I realized that when the facet get right of entry to doorways have been opened, water would pour into the mattress if it rained. This led to a easy format that makes use of the foremost guide beam as one 1/2 of the hinge that each reduces phase depend and continues the water out. As Elon Musk says, “No section is a higher part.” After listening to about the nightmares of a properly regarded agency having to recall campers for misguided hinges, latches, and tents delaminating, I had to get this component right. After three or 4 rounds of redesigning the camper, I could not assume of whatever else to change. That’s when you be aware of you are equipped to prototype and check your design. I put collectively the “spec packs” of how to make every phase and despatched them to a number of suppliers we have worked with at Rhino and the ready began. In the meantime, I began working on all of the add-ons for the system. I love it when a corporation thinks via the consumer journey for a customer. I desired to do the equal and tackle 5 categories: tent & shelter, sleep & mattress, lighting, cooking, tools organization. I may no longer have entire options for these classes but however the aim is to construct the enterprise into an clothes shop that can tackle issues in every place and furnish an built-in ride that is a pleasure to use in the wilderness.
I used to be nearly afraid for the components to arrive. What if I messed some thing up that I could not fix? What if the format simply did not work or wasn’t robust enough? I started out slicing the massive aluminum extrusions to the right size on a simple chop noticed with a carbide blade. The format I got here up with makes use of customized designed extrusions that are bolted collectively to create an extremely inflexible frame. Then, pre-finished aluminum composite panels are bonded to the body to create a water-resistant light-weight structure. This technique of development gets rid of any bending, welding, or ending which can effortlessly pressure up the fee of a product. I drilled the holes in the extrusions that would be used to bolt the body together. Better get this right. After conserving my breath for most of the day, I bolted the body collectively and lifted it on my truck with a friend. It fit. It honestly fit. I nonetheless had a lot of work to do however I had fundamental proof of concept.
The subsequent step used to be to construct up the roof and set up the aspect and rear get right of entry to doors. The solely hassle is that the gap in the fundamental extrusion was once made out of spec and used to be too small for the customized hinge to slide into place. If I could not get that working, it might be sport over for the complete prototype. I labored with a neighborhood computer save and created a customized 5 foot lengthy reamer to make the gap slightly large so the hinge should match and rotate properly. My spouse and I tackled the true reaming and had to lever the reamer into the gap so it would not pop out and smash the hinge. After a few hours of tedious work, the holes had been right sized and the door slid into place. This used to be the first alleviation I’d felt in weeks and realized this aspect may really come together. I had hope.
The subsequent couple weeks had been a blur fixing small troubles and customized fabricating components till late into the night time every day. Finally, I known as a couple pals to come help me raise the camper on my truck. It used to be definitely on there and it seemed rattling good. I had deliberate out a two week lengthy street time out to take a look at out the camper and meet with workable clients and installers. The morning I completed the remaining feature, we headed for Boise to begin our day out and movie our first stroll round video. My top buddy Michael used to be in a position to be a part of me for the day trip of a lifetime.
Our experience took us from Wenatchee, WA to Boise, Salt Lake City, Moab, Denver, Santa Fe, Phoenix, San Diego, Alabama Hills, Big Sur, San Francisco, Redding, and Portland. 4,500 miles of assembly with stoked future clients and amazingly gifted overlanding retail outlets constructing their clients dreams. I’m grateful for all of the remarks we acquired and the remarkable thoughts that had been pitched. So many new campfire tales have been created along the way.
There’s one story in unique that desires a little extra detail. It is acknowledged as the “event that shall no longer be named”. Also recognized as Moab. We had been using like a bat out of hell in Onion Creek chasing the final bit of daytime to get some video of placing up the rig. Little did we know, we would not be getting any video that night and we would be fortunate to make it out barring a large restoration bill. Onion Creek begins off close to Fisher Towers and leads up to a massive plateau after using alongside a knife part ridge. We noticed some of the day’s final mild on a bluff at the side of the plateau. The roads had been protected in thick mainly clay mud which made getting up to the bluff nearly impossible. We barely reached the pinnacle of the hill and realized we have been in a pickle. The mild used to be long gone and we rapidly went into “how do we get out of right here safely” mode. I had been flying my drone so I switched spots with Michael and took the wheel of my almost inventory F150 with the exception of a leveling package and some large mud tires. I backed up barely to check the avenue and started out sliding backwards a little. Damn. Let’s see what’s in the front of us. On the different facet of the hill was once a turn-around no longer 50 yards away. Without questioning too lots about it I commenced down the bottom of the hill in the direction of flip round with Mike recognizing me. Immediately, the rear give up of my truck began sliding closer to the cliff side of the road. I gave it a little gasoline to straighten out a little however essentially slid down the hill sideways. Definitely one of the largest butt-pucker moments I’ve ever experienced. Had I genuinely appeared at the avenue I would have viewed it wasn’t simply steep however the street used to be canted toward the cliff. The fact of the second sank in. There’s no way we had been getting again up that hill. The hillside supplied nothing to hook our winch to and it would be idiotic to strive besides one given the cant of the road. Our solely alternative was once to observe an unknown street till it ended, we acquired stuck, or we received out.
We set up our chains on our the front tires and commenced our journey. We stayed beneath the snow line for the first few miles and the mud used to be treacherous. Eventually, we wrapped round a big mesa and began gaining elevation. By this time, it used to be totally dark and the temperature was once dropping. At least we had masses of meals and water and a tent on the mattress of our truck if we had to sleep out. The mud grew to become to snow as we bounced over Moab’s notorious boulder encumbered terrain. For the most phase the avenue was once no worse than a normal wooded area carrier road. That is till we began hiking a steep grade on the north aspect of the mesa. Basketball dimension boulders blanketed with the aid of a few inches of sparkling snow blocked our path. The solely possible alternative used to be to “send it” and hope we have adequate momentum to elevate us over the obstacles. If we slowed down, there was once no way we would have the traction to make it through. I notion we had been going to destroy a chain, blow a tire, or toss the camper off my truck. The day out would be over and I’d have a large restore consignment to cover. After 20 yards of boulders, my truck was once nonetheless moving, the camper was once intact and we persevered into the darkish unknown.
As we reached the pinnacle of the Mesa I checked my elevation on Gaia. Over 8,000ft. Damn that is high. We had been over 10 miles away from the ridge we had commenced on and regarded to be on a large loop path referred to as Kokopelli. The moon hadn’t risen but so it used to be pitch black. We took lengthy publicity snap shots with our iPhones and we realized we had been on the part of a sheer cliff overlooking the valley below. We drove for a few extra hours via deep snow and nearly obtained caught a few instances in deep ruts dug from humans with tons large tires than the 33’s I have on my truck. At this factor our largest fear was once that we might have to come lower back down via thick mud and probably slide off the street into the valley. But, simply as shortly as our journey started, it ended. The snowy street became to plowed dry pavement at the blink of an eye. The alleviation in the truck used to be palpable. We’re going to make it.
After touring over 4,500 miles we made it domestic in one piece and the camper is nevertheless on my truck in tremendous shape. After Moab and different serious off-roading, we observed that the camper slid ahead about 1/2 an inch so I’m going to make the mounting brackets clamp on the mattress rail tighter. There are dozens of different small modifications we’re making to make the manufacturing model even better. The gasoline struts are going to cross to the interior of the foremost extrude so they don’t intrude with mounting awnings. The Gear Vault cabinets are going to fold in 1/2 so they don’t get in the way of the mattress sliding in the direction of the tailgate if you want extra room for your feet. The Rear Rain Guard is going to be redesigned so it will anxiety the tent cloth to shed rain better. The listing goes on.
We’re going to open up orders on Tuesday (it’s Thursday now) and will be presenting Lone Peak Camper at $4995 for one week only. After that, the fee will upward jostle to $5995. We’re supplying three preferences for delivery. Installation in Wenatchee, WA, Installation in Colorado, New Mexico, and California, and delivery without delay to your door.

We diagram to commence manufacturing this Spring in Wenatchee, WA and begin installations and shipments in June. We have many greater truck based totally options in the works like camp kitchens, awnings, and electronics. Lone Peak Camper is simply the starting of our mission to empower humans to assignment in addition into the desert with extra relief and confidence.
