A new collab effort with Scout Campers has yielded a rig that's ideal for hunters, anglers and explorers alike.If you buy from a link, we may earn a commission. Learn moreAll too often, cross-industry collaborations are pretty underwhelming because they don't yield anything substantive beyond an exclusive colorway or some unique co-branding. Occasionally, however, the exercise can produce a result that's uniquely the product of both parties. For instance, earlier this year, Ford and Carhartt spun up a workwear-grade pickup packed with inspired touches that also brought functional benefits.The Sitka x Scout Campers Olympic Hardwall brings some choice refinements for hunters and anglers. - Credit: Sitka GearAnd now there's another effort about to take shape courtesy of Sitka and Scout Campers. The two outfits have teamed up to deliver a genuinely purposeful take on backcountry prep, and the result is a truck camper that's optimized for hunters, anglers and explorers alike.The ultimate off-grid base stationThe canvas for the project takes the form of Scout's flagship Olympic Hardwall camper, and the hardware is where the two brands make their shared passions clear. Most prominently, the interior features Optifade Open Country camouflage, an original Sitka-developed concealment pattern.Unlike some collabs, it's not just an exercise in co-branding. - Credit: Sitka GearImportantly, though, it's not just a styling exercise. As Scout Campers' director of marketing Nick Africano puts it, "Every feature on this camper has a purpose because every piece of gear you bring into the backcountry has to have a purpose."AdvertisementAdvertisementAccordingly, the camper includes a range of purposeful additions to make off-grid stays sustainable. In addition to a heated gear locker and a dedicated mud room, it brings custom MOLLE panels for storage and a dedicated Zarges bow and gun mount.MOLLE storage inside and out ensures there's plenty of room to bring gear along for the ride. - Credit: Sitka GearMoreover, as part of the Sitka collab effort, Scout has given the Olympic Hardwall some choice upgrades in Richlite countertops, a new insulated entry door, Garmin Power Switch integration, Starlink Mini, a diesel heater and its in-house Universal Power Tower.It amounts to a respectable range of standard equipment, and it's a grouping that's been put through its paces during some real-world testing.

Even in stock form, it makes a credible case for a backcountry-focused build.AdvertisementAdvertisementAs specced with the Sitka gear, it's still plenty lightweight, as the camper weighs just 1,650 pounds. It's also designed to fit modern heavy half-ton trucks and larger with 6.5-foot beds or longer, keeping the rig accessible to a wide range of truck owners without requiring a heavy-duty platform.Even loaded up, the rig remains pretty lightweight at 1,650 pounds. - Credit: Sitka GearDespite being a truck-based offering, it sleeps from four to six occupants, depending on the interior setup. Furthermore, it also touts a range of off-grid essentials as standard. Along with a 4.9-liter jerry can for portable water, the camper features a Dometic indoor/outdoor cooktop, a pop-up tent and a variety of personalization options. From Kammock awnings to Dometic appliances, it's abounding with potential.The hard-shelled construction offers other "elevated" benefits. - Credit: Sitka GearAvailability and pricingThe SITKA x Scout Camper goes on sale on September 9 at scoutcampers.com for $55,000.
