This one was a long time coming…
Since our launch in April of 2024, we’ve been eagerly waiting for authorities in the outdoor gear space to give the Hele Box car camping platform a test drive (pun intended!)
Located in Boulder County, I’d see the Outside headquarters every time I took a stroll down the famous Pearl Street.
I knew that one day we’d make enough noise for them to test out our sleeping platform, and I’m so stoked it finally happened!
One of their gear columnists, Graham Averill put our car camping platform through rigorous testing, and the Hele Box passed with flying colors.
Here’s a few excerpts I’m most proud of:
“The portable, adjustable, and versatile Hele Box car camping platform solves a lot of problems for campers who sleep in their vehicles.”
“nothing was overlooked in the design. The materials are solid (aerospace-grade aluminum and hardwood slats) and built to last.
“I spent a lot of time and energy trying to figure out how to design my DIY sleeping platform around my 4Runner’s back seats, which did not fold completely flat. If I had the Hele Box, it would have just been a matter of adjusting two legs.”

Graham also took the time to shoot a video for Outside Magazine’s Youtube channel.
We’re so excited for an epic summer camping and with the continued support of our awesome community - we’ll keep dishing out epic car camping platforms for you to use on your next adventure!
