The end to all this sitting in our homes is near, and once it’s all over, Taxa Outdoors will be ready to give you the freedom you’ve been yearning for this past year.
Meet the Woolly Bear from Taxa Outdoors - if you’ve never heard of these two names, buckle up and get your truck ready because we’re going on a trip.

With the way things have gone this year, I bet everybody’s just itching for a road trip. And not just one of those where you spend the night in hotel and motel rooms. I mean one of those road trips where you wash with captured rainwater after four days, eat meat that’s starting to turn a bit, and rely on the person next to you. Yeah, one of those. I can almost smell it now.

Still, to keep some level of human dignity, the Woolly is there to offer more than you can think of. Now, most people will look at this and say it’s just a cargo hauler. While some might agree with this perspective, do keep reading.

First off, let’s just throw this out there. This little mobile basecamp comes in with an MSRP of $11,800 and 30 cents. I don’t know about that thirty cents, though. It seems like it just over-prices everything, right? All jokes aside, imagine what it’s like to have this 10-foot (3-meter) long trailer as a sidekick for your escape. With a lightweight construction that weighs in at 990-lb (449-kg) dry, it’s towable even by a 4-cylinder vehicle. Really? You’re telling me this thing can be towed by a Camry? That's right.

So let’s have a look at what we get when throwing our pennies at this. The main attraction of this theme park is the impressive 600-lb (272-kg) cargo deck. Here we find room for anything from a pair of e-MTB, kayaks, and a ton of other gear you may think you need on your trip.

Underneath, we can spot an outdoor bin for placing some hardware and whatever else that can be exposed to the elements. To the left of this bin, there's a powder-coated lockable cooler drawer big enough for a 45-quart trinket. To the right, however, is where the real fun begins - if you’re a cook, that is.

One of the centerpieces of the Woolly is the full-sized outdoor kitchenette and storage cabinet. Now this space is completely customizable so there’s no use in saying you have no room for a burner, utensils, and whatever other tastes of home (spices) you may want. A few more storage bins and lockers are also found on the lower part of the Woolly, providing more than enough space for your necessities.

But my personal favorite aspect of this take-anywhere camper trailer is the space designated for the roof-top tent. This elevated platform is large enough to fit most 2-to-3-person tents and even includes an edge that hides a six-foot awning used to offer protection against the elements while working your mojo in the kitchen.

Aside from other hardware like powder-coated gravel guards, brakes, torsion axle suspension, Lock ‘N’ Roll trailer hitch (501/508), and 12V accessory/USB outlets, the Bear can be loaded with a number of options to help you extend your journey into the wilderness.

Still haven’t made up your mind? Not a problem; just click here and explore the rest of what the Woolly Bear can do for you. Because that’s exactly the case here; It’s not about what you can do for your Woolly, but what your Wooly can do for you.
