At Home Off the Road: Adventures with Forged from the Wild

At Home Off the Road: Adventures with Forged from the Wild

It’s not just the clearance. Or the suspension. Or how easy you can tow it. What Alana & Glen really love about their Woolly Bear trailer is the insane functionality and storage in their tough little towable.

“It’s logged about 40,000 miles from the tip of Baja California, Canada, Alaska and all over the west coast. Before, we’d slept in many campers, pop-ups, and the back of the truck, but now it would be tough to convince us to not bring the Woolly Bear on an adventure.”



“The fridge slide makes it easy to make our camp cooking elevated, The storage space and the way it’s compartmentalized is great for our over-the-top organization. Although it doesn’t have the internal sleeping element (we have a RTT on the top), it doesn’t bother us—what we need the most is storage, and with the WB, we got that and way more.”

The TAXA Woolly Bear weighs in at a minimal 1,300 lbs (1,400 for the Overland Edition) and has a small footprint, so it’s easily towable by most daily drivers, and easily stowable in a garage. With an integrated kitchen and tons of sealed storage, it’s the most efficient way possible to bring your home way off-road. Pop a rooftop tent on the cargo deck and you’ll wonder why anyone would ever choose an RV.

Here’s some hacks Alana and Glen love for the Woolly Bear:

  • If we know it’ll rain, we put all of our technology into the big storage compartment because it stays extremely dry and we don’t need to fight for space in the cab of the truck with us and our pup.
  • We use the middle storage compartment for water jugs and gas cans
  • For off-roading, we just threw a pair of rugged tires on and make sure to air down if we know it’ll be super bumpy
  • We use the trailer as a “decoy” for when we find an epic campsite but want to keep exploring! We drop the trailer and then go do some super hard trails with our truck without worrying about finding camp later in the evening.

The small and mighty Woolly Bear is the perfect solution for Alana and Glen—and it’ll eagerly join your next adventure. Wherever you dream of going, this intrepid basecamp will elevate your camp when you get there.
