Creator's Key Takeaways

We just love our fridge and the freedom it allows us to have outdoors, especially in the back country.

It gave us peace of mind while overlanding the backount.

The fridge cage allows you to pack and nest things tightly around every nook and cranny while still being able to slide the fridge out for easy access to your food and drinks.

The materials are cheap, so if you have the abilities and the tools on hand already, it is a good budget option.

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Build a custom fridge cage to maximize space and allow easy fridge access without unpacking gear.
โœ“Use a remote thermometer to monitor fridge temperature for peace of mind.
โœ“Look for deals on power stations; manufacturers and Costco often have sales.
