About
It all started when…
Tents + Tread is a weekend “Cars & Coffee” meetup for adventurists planted in the nature we all enjoy instead of the local parking lot at McDonald’s . A Collective for all who enjoy the outdoors to share, plot, engineer and pass on their expertise.
We came up with the idea while sitting at an English overland show that minus the few good people in camping was a bit of an unorganized shakedown. Vendors were lacking and being charged massive costs to set up in a crummy racecourse far from any semblance of the great outdoors. Attendees were charged to enter and camp all on top of the expenses it had already taken to arrive at the show. It was a moment of clarity for us where we told ourselves “What if we did this but camping wild out in nature and the focus was on the community and less on the goods?”
We do not charge an entry fee, we don’t expect compensation, and we do our best to include everyone from any corner of the world. We love the bikes, the vans, the Land Rovers, Land Cruisers, Patrols, G-Wagons, Sprinters, and the Jeeps all the same. All we ask is that you can respect others and that you have the same passion and drive for the outdoor lifestyle. If you can fall into line with those values you will always have a place around our campfire.
