Small and Simple

Having conversations with creative people living or contributing to a sustainable, adventurous way of life.

We’re excited to announce that this is the first episode of a series we are doing talking with small businesses that are a part of the Outdoor Gear Builders Of Western North Carolina. This a network of companies dedicated to creating exceptional outdoor gear with a focus on responsible manufacturing, cutting edge innovation, and economic growth in the region.

For this first OGB podcast, I talk to Nick, the owner of Fifth Element Camping, a company that sells a modular micro camping system for the Honda Element that basically turns the crossover SUV into a small RV in no time. (Literally, the system installs and removes in under 10 minutes without modification to the vehicle). His designs are incredible, innovative and the first of their kind — not to mention that they’re also light weight, versatile, and super easy to install.

Nick’s story is inspiring especially if you aspire to turn a passion or hobby into a viable business. Among the design specifics, we also talk about his journey to get where he is today and the lessons he’s learned along the way.
