In this episode of British Suits and Cowboy Boots, Richard talks to Garrett Finney, the founder and CEO of TAXA Outdoors, which designs and manufactures innovative, forward looking mobile habitats. He talks about the inspiration for designing his pioneering trailers and the design considerations that underpin it.

Garrett discusses his experience as a furniture and home designer and space architect at NASA working on the International Space Station and Lunar habitats, how his work designing for small spaces became principles intrinsic to TAXA Outdoor trailers and why each model is named after an insect.

He and Richard discuss the TAXA Outdoors Mantis camper that Richard used on his recent GREAT British Tour of Texas, a two-week, multi-city tour, to promote investment opportunities between Texas and the UK that covered approximately 2,300 miles – nearly 3 times the length of the United Kingdom.

Garrett reflects on his time living in London in the 1980’s working as a Blacksmith and his failed attempt to be a part of the London punk scene.

An insightful conversation about the great outdoors and why we are at our best under the open skies.
