5 Incredible Off-Grid Adventures, Vehicles, and Essential Gear for Stylish Exploration

Gone are the days when reaching the most remote corners of the world meant sacrificing comfort. Thanks to EcoFlow’s portable power solutions, particularly their latest RIVER 2 series, ultra-fast charging makes it the ultimate entry-level option. Whether you’ve dreamed of camping in Iceland while penning your next novel or capturing the stunning landscapes of California’s Lost Coast, we’ve uncovered the latest adventure vehicles that can transform these dreams into reality with EcoFlow.

Ushuaia, Argentina

Few locations rival the remoteness of Ushuaia, Argentina, often hailed as the southernmost city in the world. This town has long been a portal to Tierra del Fuego National Park, yet it offers a wealth of attractions itself, including the impressive four-in-one Maritime Museum.

For many, Ushuaia serves as a crucial stop to recharge before delving into the vast wilderness, making the RIVER 2 indispensable, capable of charging from zero to full in just an hour—five times quicker than competitors. Navigate the peat bogs of the 15-mile Laguna del Caminante Trail or power your camera to photograph the adorable Magellanic penguins of Beagle Channel. The EcoFlow RIVER 2 has everything you need.

Alongside the RIVER 2, the Bowlus Volterra provides an unparalleled off-grid experience as the first all-electric RV in the world. With high-speed satellite internet, you can upload your photos to the cloud from the skies, and a fuel-free induction stovetop lets you whip up Patagonian crab on the go.

California’s Lost Coast

Located two hundred miles north of San Francisco, well beyond any major highways, the Lost Coast is renowned for its black-sand beaches, Pacific tide pools, and rugged old-growth forests.

For those venturing away from the city to conquer the 25-mile Lost Coast Trail, the RIVER 2 serves as an excellent companion in this remote region where solitude reigns. The RIVER 2, along with its more powerful counterparts, the RIVER 2 Max and RIVER 2 Pro, stands out as one of the most affordable portable power stations available, while also being among the safest, utilizing LiFePO4 batteries—one of the first in the industry. Swapping the office for the trail, you’ll be racking up hours at Mattole River Beach or watching Great Blue Herons glide over the King Range.

Named after German naturalist Alexander von Humboldt, the efficient, diesel-powered Winnebago Boldt is designed to conquer the rugged landscapes of the county that shares its name, featuring an innovative heating and insulation system to withstand the coastal chill. Remote workers embracing the #vanlife will appreciate the Boldt's dining table that transforms into a standing desk for optimal productivity.

Banff, Canada

The town of Banff boasts easily accessible attractions like the Cave and Basin National Historic Site, which features a 19th-century bathhouse. For adventurous hikers, a trek to the old Sulphur Mountain Cosmic Ray Station offers breathtaking views of the surrounding peaks. Even more rewarding is the nine-mile hike to the Plain of Six Glaciers Teahouse, perched above Lake Louise; consider sharing one of the eleven outlets on your powerful RIVER 2 Max or RIVER 2 Pro with fellow visitors at the cabin, which has been electricity-free since its construction in 1927.

Much like Banff itself, the Leisure Unity provides exceptional flexibility for your group. With five different floor plans available, the Unity offers ample space for your snow gear or a cozy spot to rest. Its Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Chassis and 3L V6 diesel engine deliver a smooth ride and the fuel-efficient power necessary to navigate the challenging roads of Alberta’s backcountry.

The Adirondacks, New York

No protected area in the contiguous United States matches the size of the Adirondacks. Its famous 46 Peaks near Lake Placid are just a glimpse into the park's diverse history of recreation, from hosting the Winter Olympics on Whiteface Mountain to Old Forge, the starting point of the Northern Forest Canoe Trail.

While the region features many charming villages, an extensive network of trails and lakes awaits exploration. For campers on the go, the RIVER 2 Solar Generator can fully charge your setup in as little as three hours using just sunlight, allowing you to track its progress via WiFi or Bluetooth with Smart App Controls as you prepare for a quick hike up Blueberry Cobbles in New Russia.

No matter your destination, a comfortable, well-equipped ride is essential. The Atlas Touring Coach, Airstream’s premium RV, is packed with features to ensure your comfort on the road, including an automated Murphy “suite” that unfolds at the touch of a button, a spacious bathroom, and an optional bar for those cozy alpine evenings when a hot toddy is in order.

Iceland

With a landscape seemingly plucked from science fiction, Iceland may be the ideal setting for your next novel. Reykjavik, the world's northernmost capital, acts as a gateway to the country's otherworldly features, including the dormant Thrihnukagigur Volcano, the only location on Earth where you can enter a magma chamber. Additionally, Iceland offers the opportunity to visit the real-life inspiration for Jules Verne’s Journey to the Center of the Earth: the 8,000-year-old Vatnshellir Cave, located just a few hours northwest of Reykjavik.

Iceland's remoteness can escalate quickly, and with as little as four hours of sunlight daily, travelers must bring their own light source. Fortunately, the RIVER 2 features EPS (emergency power supply) mode, enabling you to explore Iceland’s most secluded areas, from the majestic waterfalls of the Westfjords to the dramatic landscapes of Stórurð, which are rumored to have inspired the dark realm of Mordor in J.R.R. Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings.

Perfect for Iceland’s Ring Road, the Volkswagen Grand California provides generous space for four, a separate restroom, and a gas stove with a pull-out fridge to keep you nourished on chilly winter nights. It’s the ultimate mobile studio for those who find inspiration like the great authors before them.

Even the boldest adventurers understand that preparation is key to exploration. Equipped with the right tools, including the EcoFlow RIVER 2 Series portable power station (which features an impressive 10-year life cycle), you can travel from one corner of the globe to another for many years ahead.

The RIVER 2 and RIVER 2 Max are available for purchase on Amazon and the EcoFlow webstore, with the RIVER 2 Pro set to arrive soon. Use promo code EFSD10OFF at checkout to receive 10 percent off your order.
