Yes she can! Took the CX-50 up to Eagle’s Nest in Langtry, TX; Steep trails, loose rock, and no room for mistakes.
The Falken ATs gripped like a dream, and Mazda’s i-Activ AWD kept the traction tight without me lifting a finger. No buttons, no drama, just smooth control when the trail got wild.

Car Window Shades are a must-have for car camping!Excellent ventilation and sun protection.

What gear you recommend for car camping?

The best office doesn’t have four walls.
Some days it’s a camp chair, a laptop, and a view that reminds me why I chose this life.

This setup lets me work from anywhere the road takes me.

Oh Snap! Look what just happened!

Just about time to get the @mazdausa Roof Platform.

I was fine with the conventional roof basket but now I need more flexibility to carry bigger things on top and rig up the CX-50 the way I need for my upcoming fall adventures in Big Bend National/State Park.

Stay tune to see the new modifications 🙌🏻

Prepping for another road trip to the coast of Texas.

You guys have any suggestions on awnings for the CX-50?

I think I have all I need but have to make sure Im covered to sleep during this summer heat and have a good shelter for all these storms that are rolling in.

It took me two months to finally post these but here are a few photos for the @lonestarsubies meet up in Austin,TX.

Always grateful to tag along with this crew. It’s more than just look at the cars, it’s the conversations, the shared knowledge, and hearing what worked (and what didn’t) with their builds. Every trip gives me a few new ideas for improving my own rig.

Looking forward to the next adventure! taken in Austin, Texas by @backroadchaser

I never thought I’d use this knife as much as I do.

My Benchmade Mini Bugout is always in my pocket. It has quietly become part of every adventure, from camping trips and road trips to photography and all the little moments in between.

Funny how the smallest piece of gear often becomes the one you reach for the most.

What’s one piece of gear you never leave behind?

Turns out this is what being an adult looks like… spending my Sunday afternoon at @rei laying on sleeping pads while strangers pretend not to judge you. 😂

I’m calling it “field testing.”

So far I’ve narrowed it down to three:
🏕️ @expedusa MegaMat Duo
⛺️ REI Co-op Campwell
🏕️ @thermarest Neoloft

The Campwell honestly caught me off guard. Super plush, soft on top, and probably the closest thing to bringing my bed into the woods.

Now I need your help…

Which one would you trust after a full day on the trail? Exped or Campwell or Neoloft?

Drop your vote below—and no, “just sleep on the ground” isn’t an acceptable answer. 😅👇

This is not about going fast,
is about going where others can’t.

Straight to the Texas coast with the new🛞

Its a different ball game when going camping with the family.
I need to bring the “Big Guns” AKA Her Queen Mattress. This Vosser air mattress from @amazon is huge and a pain in the a$$ to move around when inflated, but is fantastic because I can bring a comfortable bed to my wife and daughter to sleep on 🛌 😴 ⛺️

Where do you go when you need to reconnect with your creativity or find a little inspiration?

I don’t always think of myself as a naturally creative person. But something changes when I load up my camera, get in my @mazdausa CX-50, hit the backroads, and settle into the rhythm of the journey. Maybe it’s the quiet. Maybe it’s the landscapes. Maybe it’s just the feeling of being out there.
Whatever it is, it helps me see the world differently, and reminds me that creativity often comes from simply showing up.
