Work hard, play hard. Or is it just all work?
If you are like us, you work hard so you can play hard. Yet somehow along the way play has also become work. The planning, packing, setup, takedown, unloading, and clean-up on top of the daily workload of a career and family has become just too much.
What if you could jump from adventure to adventure without all the work?
Enter Next Jump. We are a community of off-road, overland, and boaterhoming adventurers who have discovered the freedom and fulfillment in jumping from trip to trip. Along the way, we have unlocked the secret to sustainable adventuring without the hassle.
― Henry David Thoreau
More than dialing in versatile rigs, packing methods, and unforgettable itineraries we have created an ecosystem to sustain this lifestyle we like to call “Jump Life”. Our approach eliminates about 50% of the time and hassle associated with loading, setup, breakdown, and unloading compared to traditional vehicle-based adventure.
We believe life is best lived outdoors. No longer must we have to choose between work or play, staying or going, beach or mountains. Keep jumpin’.
What we do
Our Story
We are on a mission to turn overlanding into a way of life for everyone
Next Jump Outfitters is a company founded on the belief that life is best lived through exploration, seamlessly integrating work, family, and play. We stand by the mantra "Gear Up and Jump," encouraging individuals from all walks of life to embrace new experiences without having to choose between their various roles and passions. Our community is made up of those who seek to deeply engage with life, aspiring to more than just existence. We attract people with a thirst for new adventures, believing that these experiences are essential in shaping our abilities and thinking.
In today's world, success is often measured by status and career achievements, leading many to view exploration and play as secondary pursuits. The modern-day explorer faces numerous challenges, including finding the right gear, acquiring necessary skills, building confidence, and managing time. These barriers have made play and exploration seem too daunting for many, resulting in missed opportunities and unfulfilled desires to engage with the world around them.
Next Jump Outfitters promises a future where these obstacles are halved, dedicating ourselves to making exploration, learning, and epic experiences more accessible and less time-consuming. We achieve this by working
closely with our customers to design and outfit purpose-built rigs tailored to their evolving lifestyles and adventures. From curating and testing gear, teaching skills, guiding, and building trip itineraries, to fostering a community of like-minded adventurers, we are committed to empowering individuals, families, and communities to embrace the #jumplife.
The ‘all the above’ approach to life
Imagine a world where you don’t have to choose between work and play. Mountains or beach. Truck or Trailer. You can fully customize your rig, like a blank canvas waiting for your adventure to paint its story. No trade offs.
That’s belief behind all of Next Jump product design. The flagship offering is the aluminum flatbed truck body system – a modular, lightweight platform with removable drop sides and integrated L-tracks enabling infinite customizations: slide-out kitchens, pop-up campers, tool boxes, bed racks, roof top tents, awnings, water tanks and more.
This is a new era of affordable modularity, crafted for the DIY overlander who dreams of building their rig as their journey unfolds.
“We are taught that success is tied to status and career, so today’s explorer tackles both as their own personal Everest. Play has become secondary. The barriers of research, gear, skill level, confidence and time have made play too hard to balance so people give up or don’t try.”
