Meet the Explorers Behind the Gear: Stay Ready Outdoors Partner Spotlights
At Stay Ready Outdoors, we don’t just supply gear, we build lasting relationships with the people who put it to the test. Our partners aren’t just ambassadors; they’re seasoned adventurers, educators, and professionals who share our Choose Adventure mindset and help refine the gear we stand behind.
Here’s a look at two of our trusted partners whose passion, grit, and authenticity continue to inspire us and improve our offerings for everyone.
Partner Spotlight: Four Wheeled Nomad
Lisa Morris and Jason Spafford, the duo behind Four Wheeled Nomad, have spent over two decades crisscrossing the globe: from Antarctica to the Arctic, and thousands of rugged miles in between. What began as a shared love for exploration has turned into one of the most recognized overland travel stories in the world.
First Meeting: Kindred Spirits at Overland Expo SoCal 2025
We first crossed paths with Lisa and Jason at Overland Expo SoCal 2025, and we were immediately drawn to their larger-than-life personalities and relentless drive to push beyond the comfort zone. What followed was one of the most genuine, inspiring conversations we've had on the trail.
It wasn’t long before we knew this was a partnership worth forging.
Built for the Long Haul
Their current overland rig, White Rhino - a 2015 Toyota Hilux MK7 - is fully outfitted with expedition-grade upgrades including an Alu-Cab ModCap, Goose Gear cabinetry, ICON Vehicle Dynamics suspension, and off-grid power from REDARC. Every detail speaks to self-reliance, comfort, and capability over thousands of miles.
How We Support Them
We proudly provide Lisa and Jason with essential equipment ranging from communications gear to camp kitchen supplies and repair tools, ensuring they stay safe, prepared, and ready for whatever the road throws their way.
Their firsthand feedback helps us refine our gear, and their stories remind us why we do what we do.

Partner Spotlight: The Prepared Wanderer
Wendell Adams, aka The Prepared Wanderer, is a respected educator and gear reviewer in the bushcraft and preparedness community. He’s built a loyal following by cutting through hype and focusing on what actually works in the field.
From Honest Feedback to Field-Tested Partnership
Our relationship began with a private conversation debating the LYNX Go-Bag’s design and quickly evolved into a meaningful partnership. Wendell didn’t just review the kit, he put it through a thorough field breakdown on his YouTube channel, offering praise where it was earned and critique where it was needed. That’s exactly the kind of honest dialogue we value.
TrailGuard: Co-Developed for Real-World Survival
When we decided to build a compact, no-nonsense survival kit for serious outdoorsmen, we brought Wendell into the development process. His real-world input helped shape the LYNX TrailGuard Survival Kit, ensuring it checked the boxes for both bushcraft and emergency readiness without unnecessary weight or gimmicks.
Educator and Reviewer
Wendell’s reviews aren’t just product rundowns: they’re lessons in fieldcraft. He brings decades of experience to his in-depth gear reviews, highlighting both premium gear and budget-friendly options for all levels of preparedness. His recent appearance on the Green Ops Podcast drove home what we already knew: this is someone who gets it - and helps others get it, too.
Why It Works
We don’t shy away from feedback. We seek it out. Wendell holds us to a high standard, and that’s why we trust him with our gear. His integrity, knowledge, and grounded approach make him a key figure in our mission to serve those who rely on their equipment to perform.
