Proud of you Foster, from start to finish, the story is a compelling read. Looking forward to part 2, the build out tale.

I like that this pod has windows, so the interior isn't looking dark ~ I'm a firm believer in windows that allow me to see what's going on around me while camping in my '73 Bus ~ The pod looks like you'd be fine in a heavy rain storm & hail ~ Hope you have a great time in this ~ ! ~

I’ve had my eye on the Scout campers for a while but I love this! Looking forward to your updates.

This is some solid thinking.

Interesting article. How would you compare this to a van? In some respects the interior size is similar but custom is always more expensive.

Is it easy to remove from the flatbed? Cheers

a van is going to be a better use of space, but will never be as capable off-road as this truck for the price. if money was not a concern I would have a van, but this is my balling on a budget off-road vehicle. its very easy to take off the flatbed. just 4 bolts.

Great stuff cheers Foster. You could leave it on a piece of land: insta-cabin.

its totally self contained. with solar and now wires connecting it to the truck. would be a great 4 season micro pod.

You’ll need to build a cradle / foundation at home to drop the Bison on when you need to use the truck for something else.

Rad. Curious to learn more about your load/unload plan/thoughts, more about your decision to not do anything over cab (aero/storage vs size/complexity, presumably), what it would look like / compatibility on a more traditional truck (in particular the side door), and also how much she $et you back..

How cool. We are getting a pop up, despite my thoughts of "that's a really expensive tent."
