In episode six, Michael reads from a back-log of chosen-at-random viewer mail. Relaxing at home this time around, he takes us through the custom design, assembly and installation process of a multi-function hi-fi / book shelf / bar unit for The Continental Crawler. Archival footage reveals a remote "paddle-in" camping experience on the banks of the legendary Zig-Zag river. Finally, a box containing the a letter and a mysterious electronic device arrives from a fan in India.
Episode 6 is sponsored by Stanley Works the and Deschutes Brewery.
Hailed as the "best new show on camping" The Continental Crawler is a video series created by photographer Michael Cogliantry and graphic designer Jen Cogliantry, two ex-New Yorkers new to the Pacific Northwest. Channeling their inner-outdoors-people for the first time in years, they hit the road Lucy and Ricky style in a 1958 travel trailer found on Ebay. Past video episodes and travel photography from the lower 48 states (and the great nation of Canada) on such outdoor subjects as fire-making, cheese-curd tasting and high-altitude cooking can be found here on their blog.

Michael,
Although I was disappointed that you didn't set off down the river in the nude, from a safety perspective, it looked like you may have been spared a potentially embarrassing and/or dangerous fate.
Nicely done. For someone like myself who hasn't subscribed to cable television in over 10yrs, I appreciate the quality and content that you've brought to the world wide web. The Continental Crawler is highly entertaining and enjoyable to watch.
Please consider bringing us more do-it-yourself projects!

Yes! I'm so excited you guys are doing these episodes again. Entertaining & hilarious as usual! I'm always enamored with your tight video editing skills, by the way. I was inspired by your films to try and make videos of our journey while we were on the road but we never had the time, which helps me to respect your films a little more. Anyway, are you going to take that trip up to Alaska any time soon?

Oh, and the console you made was really nice, really impressive.
