Is the KRAKEN Tire Inflation System the BEST for Overlanding?

  • I had a work trip that turned into overlanding, camping, Kraken installation, work and one of the scariest moments I've had in overlanding/camping. This was the longest overlanding trip ever - though it wasn't necessarily what everyone would think of as "overlanding". After meeting up with Ed Shin and Flyfisher530 in Oregon, I continued on to British Columbia Canada for a conference. I was lucky enough to have a day off to get a Kraken Tire Inflation System installed at the BEST shop around EPIC Adventure Outfitters. This trip also tested my resolve, as I encountered a mountain lion up close and personal in the Mount Rainier area. This will be a trip that I will remember forever! #kraken #overlanding #camping #epicadventureoutfitters #camping #carcamping #jeep #jeepcamping #canada #offroad #oregon ‪@KrokemOutdoors‬ ‪@flyfisher530‬ ‪@EPIC-4WD‬

    Glad you saw the lion. It’s always better to see them than not…especially at night!

      Yeah man, no joke! I was very surprised that it would not have runoff with my jeep driving up like that. It was fixated on some thing on the ground. I am pretty sure. That being said, I am very glad that I saw it too! It was something I’ll never forget. 😱

      Hahaha! Thanks Doc. Ya, true story. Tried to reenact the phone call I made to my wife - maybe with a little added dramatic effect 😆

      Ya, me and my wife had fun re-making the phone call I made home in the middle of the night. Maybe with a little added dramatic effect. 🤣🤣😱👊🏼 Thanks for the comment Next-Level! 👊🏼👊🏼

    I have puller that "epic mistake" a few times over the years and usually causes things to go from bad to worse. I've decided it's just part of the game. Makes you really appreciate when you get that choice location.

      Yep, 100%. For me, it was that I was off my guard, exhausted, frustrated…. And then 🦁!!
      Freaking bad combo! 🤣🤣

      Ya man, it’s a game changer in my opinion. I go from 12 PSI TO 36 PSI in about 8 mins. And what I love most - that it really has zero footprint in the Jeep. Fully contained under the passenger seat!! So good - such an awesome design from EPIC!

    Great intro! Recognized the I5 "scenery", you were just north of Albany, OR talking about the cougar, we live about 15 minutes east of there 😁

    Epic video in more ways than one--love the creativity! Took delivery of a Kraken a year ago and still unboxed. Now inspired to do the install. Keep up the great work!

    Wow talk about getting spooked and adrenaline rush! I would have done the same after a encounter like that. Reminds me of the time I was going through Holcomb Valley road and seeing a bear run across the road. Great video btw 👍. I've been meaning to hit a expo this year. I know they have one coming up next weekend in Arizona.
