GZL Snow Camping at Hart Mountain

Snow Camping for NYE With all this beautiful snow Central Oregon has been receiving Lance and Michelle could not pass up a trip out to Hart Mountain with the GZL for NYE.

EarthCruiser built using knowledge from ocean yachting industry

Using knowledge from the ocean yachting industry, the engineered designed floor, walls and roof are of a fiberglass composite construction. The laminate schedule of EarthCruiser has been well proven in the field and laboratory, producing a combination of the desired insulation, high stiffness and strength to weight ratio with superior toughness.

The internal surfaces are curved molded fiberglass, much as you would expect in
