Hi, I'm Kat. My boyfriend and I built out a 4x4 2002 Z71 Suburban for a year of life on the road in 2016. He accidentally got a job after 6 months, so now it's just me and the road. Hooper (the suburban) and I still check in on him every once in a while, but the open road calls us back.
UPDATE: We got married, moved to Rhode Island, and now Kat travels about 4-5 months out of the year in Hooper, and Craig joins for 2-3 months in the summer!
UPDATE: We sold Hooper, bought a house, got pregnant, and are due in May 2022. We run 3 successful businesses (www.swellandstone.com, www.katcarneyphotography.com, and www.fieldandtrack.org). Luckily we have a 5-year plan for buying and building out our next adventure vehicle so we will try and bring you on that journey too when it happens.
UPDATE: We had a sweet baby boy and he is so freaking awesome! This season of being business owners has been amazing, but the open road calls to us. Next update might find us on the road in a couple of years.

How do you do the hinges?
Nicely done. 👌🏻 Very old video, but I'd love some info on your hammock setup
Try getting a piece of pvc pipe that it will fit in with 2 end caps .Cut a piece out of the pipe slip it over and put the caps on each end...
WHATS THE BRAND ON YOUR FRIG?
That’s awesome! I’ve been in the market for one and yes they are so expensive. I’m gonna try and do this for my Kia👍🏼
Thx
Retired lol I’d leave him
I married him and we have a kid now. After 14 years together he's still the best decision of my life.
Y’all still own this? Love it
We sold it in 2021! We loved it so much, but we have since added a kiddo to the family so now we are in the market for something that can accommodate a kid or two.
He'll yeah bro love it
Excellent arrangement..iam also looking to fix such type in my honda fit
the awning could've been made better but that's just me... dope videos btw...
Very nice. I don't think I can make one. Yours looks nice.
Hey guys I'm watching your video now.. it just hit me that I can go the suburban style and remain even more stealthy then being in a pickup .. how so you like the 4x4 4wd ? I'm watching your videos now I'd be curious I'm totally thinking about going this way now. As I start my way on my truck camping journey ... I'd be curious to hear your thoughts vs a pickup.. I would definitely raise it up too if I bought one. I'll check your videos out and see what all you guys got.
Insightful video! How are you holding up 6 years later? Anything broken, stopped running, under performing? Thank you!
We sold last year! Hoop was still going strong and we loved everything about it, but we had a kid and needed an adventure mobile with a seat for a kid.
I want the blueprints for this conversion. Super well done!! ❤
Nice build man! So do you think the Suburban is the right size for two people? I have been looking at the Tahoe
Great job, thank you for sharing!
How many miles can you get on those hogs
Where did you get the bag hanging on the back?
what kind of bike rack to you have on top?
Awesome video! Thanks for sharing. How did you do your hammock?
Exactly truck I have me and my wife are looking forward to doing the same thing, I wanna travel to fish
I found you, just now.. From a video you did on the initial build. A guy was the main person?.. 🤔 I dreamed of doing this with a Suburban/Yukon XL.. Ended up buying a Sierra truck.. Ended up selling it over Smog laws in California! 🤭🤨 Recently DID buy a Suburban.. My setup is FAR different from yours.. However I'm only 50% done?? 🤔 I recently installed a Diesel heater.. I DO have pets (a Parrot, a hairless dog, and a 20 year old cat!).. I'm curious what's happened to you since "Covid"!.. You don't strike me as a shut in! Yet it looks like you've disappeared.. 🤔 The holes in a mask are an average of 20 microns wide.. While viruses are only 0.5 microns.. So 40 viruses in a perfect line can fit through the holes in a cloth mask! Most viruses (including Covid) die under direct sunlight in about 85 seconds! So get your cart from the sunny spot! 99.6% of the infected, survive! I found you with a search for Covert Overlander.. (I like mine better!) 🤣 But your ideas are invaluable! I'd like to know more about you Kat!.. What are you doing today? I WAS a Solar/Electronics tech.. I did Uber as I bought SAILBOAT parts.. (Over-Oceaner!)... Covid slowed that plan for me!.. I had Covid-19 the last two weeks of February 2020.. Doing Uber for the International Cyber security conference.. Since then I deliver supplies to the scared, and vulnerable.. I'd love to find an adventure buddy!
What did you use for the roff tarpaulin or canvas
Thanks for sharing such great information. It is really helpful to me. I always search to watch the quality content and finally I found your post. Keep it up, keep posting!
I did the alpine loop. It’s awesome
What size mattress is that 👀
The hippos!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😍😍😍😍😍
This is awesome. I just bought a 1992 suburban They used to be called Silverado’s in the day. I’m going to do something similar I really appreciate you guys putting this video out good luck to you both.
Engineer Pass!🙌🏽
Love it!
A van is different than a SUV...
About to camping for a music fest and this has been a major help. We're gonna work with a truck bed, probably same dimensions, but this was amazing. Thanks for the instruction!
Lol, "I'm a retired track and field athlete" aka unemployed. That made me laugh. Years ago the company I worked for went under. I received severance and took a year off to raise my kids. I would tell people, "I'm a stay at home dad." Everyone would like at me like I was a bum. Honestly, staying at home with my kids was the beast year of my life. I don't know why anyone, would want anything else. I'm getting emotional just thinking about it.
Thanks so much guys! Killer idea. I have a project for next weekend. Take care
How is the top part that rolls up attached to the roof rack?
LOTTA room in yukons/suburbans, def an option for those who don't want to jump into a van right away! nice simple layout, thanks for sharing, stay safe!
Nice truck camper!
Great layout. Thanks for posting.
glad this came my way,I'm building 1 now ,will buy some decent expandable poles for the whole system. mine will cost 2 hundred
What a fantastic idea!!
Why u are not making videos
Cool fort! Nice Build. Don't be putting your TP on the terminals of that big battery you crazy kids.
We're not really in to guns but heres our toy ones.
That’s what I was thinking about doing not sure the wife would be on board with it I need a cool chick like one have there Great job
thanks for sharing..got some ideas i can use
How is the shelving fastened ? Nice vid
The poles that are listed in your description are no longer available. Suggest a similar?
i live on the alpine loop! lake san cristobal
Did you look at installing your 2nd battery in the engine compartment? There should be room since the police Tahoe and Suburban run 2 batteries in the engine bay. Otherwise nice setup.
