Hey Friends! We’re back from the John Muir Trail and forever changed for the better! Over the next few weeks we’re going to roll out some blog posts containing photos paired with select days from my written journal from on the trail, and video daily logs that we recorded on trail. This first one will cover day 0-5! Enjoy!

Who doesn’t love a good hack to make life a little easier?! Life on the road can be a challenge when living in such a small space. Finding little hacks can make things that much easier by being solutions to everyday problems.

As some of you may know Owen and I attended Overland Expo West in Flagstaff, Az this year! Though we’ve attended Expo East, nothing can hold a candle to the size of Expo West. We were invited to attend with Main Line Overland to show off our rig in their booth.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to live in the road full time? Or just wondered what it would be like to ride along with us for a day?

A while back I was tasked to write an article for Go-Van on a subject I’m really passionate about: Reef Safe Products!

It’s no secret that it’s been a weird year for weather. In fact, just two weekends ago we were in Colorado and got snow! Just a few weeks ago we were checking the snowpack report for the Eastern Sierra’s and found that it was 180%+ higher than average.

The month starts off with us leaving Joshua Tree NP, CA and headed out towards the coast. A friend of our who we had been with that weekend gave us a call to tell us that he came across one of the last sections of the super bloom out by his friends house in a residential area and that we should check it out.

Owen and I will be carrying separate systems for the trail to be sure that we’re capturing our experience to the best of our ability without duplicating anything or overloading ourselves with unnecessary gear.

We’re just over a month away from starting the John Muir Trail! If you’re not familiar with the trail, it’s a 211 mile section of the Pacific Crest Trail that runs from Yosemite Valley to Mount Whitney, in California.

We get frequently get asked how we make money on the road so we can afford to travel full time. If you have been with us for a while you probably already know the basics, but we thought it would be fun to put together a video detailing our business.

Luna is our 10 year old cat that we’ve had as a member of our little family since college! Owen and I adopted her from Craigslist and she has been our main squeeze ever since.

Over the past few years I’ve started to clean house in an attempt to make our lives have less of an impact on the earth and be healthier for us. I’ve systematically started taking on different products and processes and finding ways to do them cleaner!

How did we get here? This brand spankin’ new Tundra with a brand spankin’ new Four Wheel Camper is a far cry from our vanlife roots. There’s no short answer to this question so we’ll do our best to explain in this little essay (MLA format and all).

As always welcome back! It’s hard to believe that this is the last post documenting 2018. It was one hell of a year for us and it felt good starting the last month of the year off by finding some warmer weather in some familiar places.

Hey friends, welcome back to our November on the road! After a summer/fall of constant movement, in November things started to slow down for us and it was a welcome change of pace.

Hello everyone! As you all know we sold Amelia shortly after we completed her eight month long build. We wanted to pass along the final videos in the build series as well as her final tour, and a full explanation for why we sold her.

The time has come to say goodbye to our 2008 Toyota Tacoma 4x4 in preparation for picking up our new home on wheels!

The beginning of the month looking back feels like a blur of work all day and working out way west in the evenings. By now fall was in full swing and the weather was starting to be cold and rainy more consistently.
