We're the Staples
Hi there, we’re Sonya and Necota Staples, your Outdoor Experience Experts. We began our camping journey just a few short years ago and it quickly snow-balled into a off-roading and overlanding. After completing two cross-country trips and even shipping our rig to Colombia (South America) tour the country, we are in the process of planning our full time overlanding adventure.

Traction Boards - Do They Work
Recently, with our quest to go full-time overlanding, Necota has been putting the truck in more "sticky" situations. On his most recent solo camping trip, Necota went through some pretty slick mud, on an incline and had to break out the traction boards. Check out our latest video and see if Necota was able to get unstuck.
Watch to the end to see how the traction boards faired.

Beach Camping Preparation - Portsmouth Island 2021
Sonya and Necota prepare for their next adventure, beach camping on Portsmouth Island, in the outer banks of North Carolina. The last time they camped on this deserted island, bugs were a huge factor, so they decided to reach out to their friends at @SawyerProducts. After talking things through, Sawyer sent Staples InTents everything they'll need to be prepared for whatever bugs may appear during their time on the island. Understand everything we did to prepare, from treating our clothes and @GCI Outdoor chairs to vacuum sealing food.
