The Turtlebacker Trailer lets you go camping with all of your outdoor toys

Off-roaders and overlanders searching for the ultimate camping trailer to accompany them on their adventures are going to want to check out the Turtlebacker. This rugged, go-anywhere trailer was built to carry all of their favorite outdoor toys and gear to remote, hard-to-reach places, while also serving as the perfect mobile base camp for several nights in the backcountry.

Designed and made in the U.S. by a company called Turtleback Trailers, the Turtlebacker is a versatile and durable option for those who venture off the beaten path on a regular basis. The trailer is built on a steel chassis and features an aluminum deck capable of safely transporting three motorcycles, ATVs, UTVs, or other off-road vehicles. Built-in ramps make for easy loading and unloading, ensuring that it won’t take long to hit the trail once the trailer is parked at its destination.

But the Turtlebacker offers a lot more than just an easy way to transport motorized toys to and from the backcountry. The front of the trailer is equipped with a large storage box that has a 50-square foot capacity, ensuring plenty of room to store all of the outdoor gear needed for an adventurous getaway. The box also features a slide-out kitchen that includes a dual-burner gas stove, a sink, and a small refrigerator. A 42-gallon tank provides plenty of water for cooking and doing the dishes, while a 6-gallon water heater connects to an outdoor shower too.

When it comes to sleeping accommodations, the designers at Turtleback cleverly integrated a rooftop tent onto the trailer. That tent neatly folds away while driving, but upon reaching the campsite it quickly and easily transforms into a comfortable space to sleep each night. The interior of the tent is approximately the same size as a California king mattress, which when paired with an included annex allows it to sleep five to seven people.

Since this trailer can get quite heavy when it’s fully loaded, you need a fairly powerful rig to pull the Turtlebacker around. The manufacturer recommends a half-ton truck or another vehicle with a 7,000-pound towing capacity. That makes sense when you consider it could be weighed down with outdoor gear, camping supplies, and as many as three ATVs when setting out on a road trip.

The trailer doesn’t come cheap, either. Priced at $26,995, the Turtlebacker is a substantial investment. But considering everything it brings to the table, it is an impressive mobile campsite with some surprisingly great amenities.

I’m convinced Pins and Aces golf outfits are great for everyone, not just athletes

Some clothing designs stand the test of time, others transcend fashion categories or groups, just like Pins & Aces. Allow me to explain. Primarily meant for golfers and athletes, Pins & Aces carries a wide variety of golf-themed gear from golf bags to unique club heads. I don't really play golf so that doesn't excite me much. Maybe it piques your interest? Anyway, what does interest me is the large collection of unique and snazzy apparel. They don't just carry polos, they also carry streetwear, hats, shorts, joggers, and even women's and youth apparel. Thanks to Black Friday and the holiday shopping season, a ton of Pins & Aces apparel is on sale right now too. Go check it out.

This Costway outdoor pizza oven isn’t messing around — $169 off for Black Friday
Costway outdoor pizza oven on patio

Forget those indoor-friendly pizza ovens. Forget the low-flame and low-smoke options. Me, personally, I want the real deal. That's why when I came across the Costway outdoor pizza oven I knew I had to share. It comes with a pizza stone, for authentic stone-cooked pizza duh, and a waterproof cover to protect the grill. But here's the best part: It can fire-cook a 12-inch homemade pizza pie. Oh, yes. Normally $309, it's on sale today for $140, which saves you $169. That is an incredible deal, let alone for something like this that can handle the fire and brimstone. It's live already alongside some other great early Black Friday deals.

 
Why should I buy this Costway outdoor pizza oven for Black Friday?
The best thing to do when it's time to cook, in my humble opinion, is to head outside and light up my trusty Blackstone. It works great, but if I want to wood fire a pizza I'll need something else. That's precisely where this Costway outdoor pizza oven comes in handy. You can adjust the level of fire and smoke to create a perfectly cooked pizza for your family, charred or not. The dual thermometer makes it easy to adjust the temperature when it's lit. Moreover, the under storage allows you to place some wood, utensils, or whatever else you might need -- so you're not always traipsing back to your shed, house or garage.

Pulsar dual fuel portable generator with gas can in background

Unless you've been living under a rock, you know that a ton of early Black Friday deals have dropped. There are the usual suspects like laptops, electronics, gaming gear, and beyond. But me, I prefer to pick up unusual items during the huge holiday sales. You know exactly what I mean, the kind of stuff that doesn't usually go on sale any other time. One of those items is a portable generator. Where I live it seems like they rarely go on sale, and when you need them most they're never in stock. People flock to the stores to buy them just before a big storm. Well, right now, Pulsar and Walmart have an incredible deal on a 12,000-watt dual-fuel generator. Normally $900 it's down to $749 which saves you $151. It can run for up to 12 hours on an 8-gallon fuel tank.
