Prototype Testing

Solo Dad East Coast Trip with 5 kids

We welcomed baby Ava in March, 2023 and by the time summer arrived mom needed a break. I took the 5 other kids on an epic camping trip up the east coast for 3 weeks. We were still utilizing my first prototype since I was still engineering out the nose on my next manufacturable prototype. That's almost 3 years of using the first prototype!

Summer 2021 Out West Camping Trip

On Memorial day of 2021 we headed out for 2 months on an epic trip from Atlanta, GA to Colorado and back. We took our time getting out there taking a southern route, and a more northerly return route. It was a great way to test out the prototype and determine what features needed to be our focus for the next version. We thought it would be fun to share our route with campsites for anyone else who wants to do a big cross country camping trip over an extended period of time.
