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!

[@TrailNewbie]

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. 😱

[@DocWrangler]

Dude! That intro had me on the edge of my seat!

[@TrailNewbie]

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

[@nevilleguard3558]

EPIC loved the intro almost didn’t want to continue watching scary. Loved the video

[@TrailNewbie]

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.

[@TrailNewbie]

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

[@TylerOstergaard]

Dang man that’s crazy with the mountain lion those things can be unpredictable

[@TrailNewbie]

Ya, it was definitely sketchy! I got the heck outta there!! 😱

[@AllThingsOverlanding]

I've seen these systems and they look amazing. Great video and thanks for sharing!

[@TrailNewbie]

Thanks buddy! Ya, it’s incredible. You need to tell EPIC to make them for the Nissan!! 😀😀

[@AllThingsOverlanding]

@@TrailNewbie I know, right?!

[@SkyBoundMan]

GREAT edit! Loved the intro. Crazy deal with the cougar, need to loan you George the next time you head there 😂

[@TrailNewbie]

Hahhahahah! Yes! Definitely could use George for protection! 👊🏼👏🏻 Loving your new channel BTW! Keep it up!!

[@aka_Tracy]

Greg, awesome video as always! I was thinking you had seen Big Foot, lol 👀

[@TrailNewbie]

Ahh, thanks! No, but that mountain lion was absolutely petrifying. ☠️ From now on I’m going to wear a body cam - in case of Bigfoot sighting! 🤣🤣👏🏼👏🏼

[@flyfisher530]

Love this video Greg! I want a Kraken for my JK! 👍

[@TrailNewbie]

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!

[@PathsLessTraveled]

So awesome!

[@TrailNewbie]

Thanks Mike! Appreciate it!! It was a great trip! And man that Kraken is LEGIT!

[@OverlandAdventureTimes]

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 😁

[@TrailNewbie]

Thanks! And thanks for the comment! Ya, it was such an awesome trip - but getting spooked out by the cougar now just means I need to do a redemption trip to Mount Rainier! 😀😀👊🏼

[@OverlandPNW]

Cool lion sighting!

[@TrailNewbie]

Yes it was! But also…. Petrifying! 🦁 at the same time, it’s experiences like that, that you wouldn’t change for the world! Thanks for reaching out, and for the comment! 👊🏼👏🏻😁

[@jimbresnahan]

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!

[@TrailNewbie]

Ah man! Thanks! Really appreciate the comment and reaching out! YES! Definitely install that bad-boy Kraken ASAP! You won’t regret it! It is SO awesome!!! Next-level!!

[@awdgsx415]

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.

[@TrailNewbie]

Thanks for the comment! Always appreciate hearing from you! Ya, animal encounters are no joke! 😱 I’ll be hitting up the PNW expo in July. I’m almost 100% sure. Enjoy it - if you do get a chance to go!! 👊🏼👏🏼

[@awdgsx415]

@@TrailNewbie 🤔Maybe that's a good excuse to finally go to PNW and explorer some trails 😉

[@TrailNewbie]

@@awdgsx415 do it do it!!

[@Train411]

How is C.T.S not the best you can air up or down from in the cab while still moving ???

[@TrailNewbie]

Huh, I’m not sure what that is? Like in Hummers and vehicles like that?
