Ep. 1: Making the Bronco Sport Our Ultimate Outdoor Rig 

REI: Let's do a video on the ultimate outdoor vehicle. Miranda: Does VincentVanGo mean nothing to you?

The installation tips are useful!

Loved this video. So well produced - can’t wait to see the next episode!

I hope Ford wrote a big check to the coop for this with no stipulations as to what it would be spent on.

I started watching at Episode 4... I car/truck camped for vacations for years in 2,000 to 3,000 mile loops in the Pacific Northwest... Washington, Oregon, California, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming... different routes and different themes... started out in a 1980 Honda Civic until about 1996 when I got a Ford truck and added a canopy and Yakima roof top carriers (one was off the Honda)... added a couple bunks and camping gear over time until about 2011... the Ford I still have ('69 F250) ... currently playing with some add-ons, like power station with solar panels... fridge/freezer I am testing at home outside now... solar cookers... fixed chicken thighs and brownies today...I tend to have tarps I can add for shade... Ashland Oregon camp ground can get hot while waiting to do Shakespeare plays...everything had to be set up for ease of set up/take down and re-setting up after the plays in the dark... Some of my toys... Goal Zero 1500x and 500x...I am leaning toward my Nomad panels for ease of setting up my portable solar farm... added a Nomad 100, a 20, and another Nomad 50 panel... Pacific Northwest... overcast takes a few more panels... in connectable Goal Zero Nomad panels i now have 4 (50 watt), 1 (100 watt), a new 20 watt and an older 28 watt Nomad for a total of 348 watts that I can hook to the 1500x power station... had to order the connectors from Goal Zero... not real cheap to get but they make networking panels easier... been using the 500x power station with the 100 and 20 watt panels... And I have left them out in rain, watched them in overcast weather. the weather proof power connections are a really good idea. I am a bit curious about your power source in the desert during your trip... powering fridge, cameras, laptops or tablets and phones... with enough solar panels for your 1500x power station... a few hours of clear sky sun might do the trick depending on how big you make your solar panel array.

Super jazzed for this series!

I KNOW THAT GUY!!! This is sweet

Love this calm, thoughtful host - nice contrast to all the Miranda vids I watch, who I also love! 😁 Bummed about that yakima rear rack, as are a lot of folks in your Q&A when you featured it recently; they should have made it reversible for those of us who prefer it to swing left and more clearance for spare tire 🙁

Why is there not a gear list in the description? I mean this is a store that sells this stuff. Seriously.

Will REI sell the Yakima Equipment, Dometic Cooler, Goal Zero battery pack, Ford Bronco Sport as “Used Gear?” If so I am in!

I love my bronco sport!

You don't say what the cross bars are. Are they Yakima? Which model, size, etc... Thank you.

Looking forward to this series!! ❤️

Gonna say yall were pretty fast at the conversion. Most people havent seen on in person and yall have done made it a camper

This will be great to follow along with the episodes. By the way you have a fog light out on the Bronco (11:08).

Awesome! Dr Len!

Boop! Great piece! Woooh!

Love the rig!!!!!

*cries in where is miranda

Top quality video!

Did you need to carry extra fuel or did you have the range to make it to a gas station throughout the journey?

Been thinking about getting all the same setup. Did the roof antenna ever interfere with putting the tent on or when taking it off?

I’m selling my two seater Porsche that I’ve barely driven At all now I have a family and buying my first pickup. This is exactly what I want to do with it. I can’t wait to go camping in it.

Sarah Swallows?? Hmmmm smh. Lol. Even she had to laugh. Y’all know you were thinking it, I just said it, out loud!❤️❤️

What are the insulated rectangular bags that you’re using?

I'm in! Looking forward to the next episode! 👍

Why the sport Vs the other models?

What is this song?

Can you share who made the awning. Love how simple it is

A great idea and team, but did it need to revolve around an REI paid promo for a non-hybrid non-PHEV SUV?

I need a new Honda Element x Patagonia, stat!

Name: Sarah Swallow Guy: Sarah swallows 😅😅

This isn’t a Miranda video...?

0:47 bikes akimbo?

The Sky Island Odyssey just sounds like the Gambler 500 but less awesome.

All their names sound fake

You don't need $100,000 in gear to get outdoors.

Opening scene he questions why he doing this adventure... get someone who is excited to do this like me or I am sure thousands of others

Hail satan

By taking the Bronco, they are going to have to send in a Toyota to bring everyone back

Silly REI. If it’s not Miranda, we don’t care

Sarah you diry girl.

Well that’s an unfortunate name.

I'm so sorry. Still hung up on his comment at 1:32..."sarah swallows...." So sorry.. my Arrested Development age is 12...
