Espar Pony Mafia

"Finally, I'm getting you some photos of our van in action. We've been all over the West this year chasing tasty singletrack. Last week, we
did a tour of Idaho and western Wyoming. The van was our perfect basecamp, gear hauler, shower, bedroom, kitchen, espresso stand, etc.
4 bikes and enough gear for a week of living on the outside."

First Stop, Sun Valley.
Net up, Teton Canyon in the shadow of the Grand.
So many beautiful, remote places to camp, but so little time
Got to start each day with some solar-powered espresso
Getting the rig race ready for the Pierre's Hole 100 miler.
Espar Pony w/ all the gear

Racin' on some high alpine 1track
Thank you for this rad travel update Andy, we are stoked to have you on the Outsidevan Team!

Dog River

A long shuttle turned into a quick Dog River shuttle after getting a flat... Sprinters have full size spare tires though and we learnt an important lesson: If you have aluminum wheels, you need to carry 6 short lug nuts for the steel wheel the spare is mounted on!

Gear Hauler in action. Low Roof Sprinter conversion hauling 4 bikes, 5 people, 2 dogs and a wheel.
Tim in between the OSV madness, welcome.
Thanks for the air Erik! Removable air compressor at work.

Outsidevan in BC

"Hi Erik,

Heres a few pics from our recent trip up to BC. We spent some time in Squamish & Whistler climbing & biking then headed past Lillooet to the Chicoltin mountains for some backcountry mountain biking in Grizzly country. I was so glad to have my little safe refuge in the van to return to at night to protect me from the bears!!"
" I love my van"
