A hallmark of this channel is long-distance eskate backpacking--but what do I do in the cold, snowy winter months when I can't ride my electric skateboard? Why, build a DIY electric snowboard of course! This way, we can do some backcountry winter camping (skipacking?) via an electric rideable even when buried under snow. Motorized snowboard ftw!

A bit of a unique combo of autumn car camping & wilderness backpacking with my 2023 Tesla Model 3! I arrive at the trail head too late to hike in, so I spend a night sleeping in my Model 3 with Camp Mode enabled. The next morning, I hike in to camp through a gruelling backcountry backpacking trail with mad scrambles up rocky Canadian Shield, down a 10' rock cliff, and across a soggy beaver dam!
