EarthCruiser Adventure Montana Trip Recap

“Wait, wait!” our wildlife guide, Forrest Rowland, quieted us. “Listen.” We froze in place, ears cocked towards the dark figures slinking across a nearby icy ridge. We held our breath. Then, the stillness of the landscape lit up with the howls of a half dozen voices. The wolves of Yellowstone were sending their greetings across the snow. The Montana EarthCruiser Adventure trip was designed to bring our owners together to develop winter driving and overlanding skills while enjoying some of North America’s most iconic scenery and wildlife watching. Over a week’s journey, we explored the frozen waterfalls of Hyalite Canyon,

Owner Stories: Henry Nesmith

Hi Henry, tell us about yourself. I was born in Kansas, south of Kansas City, and grew up there until going to College in Southern California. I worked for a finance company for a couple of years and decided I wasn’t cut out for that. One day my father-in-law pointed out that his town at one time had three hardware stores and no longer had one. He suggested my wife and I start our own. My wife and I had spent years fixing and selling houses and got to know towns around the Bay Area. We found a building in

Tech Spec: Why EarthCruiser Is Designing the Future of Overlanding Vehicles

EarthCruiser has always designed its products to be as efficient as possible with resources on board. This means we don’t have to carry large amounts of fuel or have massive heavy battery banks that require a larger payload chassis. These design fundamentals of doing more with less have always led to lighter-weight builds and greater MPG (miles per gallon). Range and aerodynamics are extensively considered in the exterior shape and design lines for EarthCruiser products as well. When designing the Terranova, we spent a lot of time seeing how close we could position the house to the cab to eliminate

EarthCruiser Adventure Preview: Botswana and Okavango Delta

There is simply no other place on Earth like the Okavango. It begins as a trickling stream in the highland plains of Angola, growing in volume as it travels south till it becomes the powerful Okavango River. 2.5 trillion gallons of water follow this path every year. Then, something unusual happens. The river begins to spread and dissipate, becoming an alluvial fan. Covering 2,500 square miles, this region is a paradise for wildlife. Its crystal-clear waters form channels and islands home to herds of elephants, buffalo, rhinos, hippos, and the predators that hunt them like lions and wild dogs. One

Energy Systems: Production, Usage and Storage

Energy systems on our vehicles is a big topic. My name is Austin, I am the Lead Design Engineer with an Energy Systems background here at EarthCruiser. We’ve spent years studying and testing energy production, storage and usage optimization. We get questions daily from our community on how our systems work. While I think there are other ways to describe the details better, I found that the water bucket analogy is one of the best ways to understand the basics of a small self-contained system like you find on an EarthCruiser.
