Feeling content with everything we’d accomplished in Idaho, we decided to relocate to Montana. Not moments after crossing into the state, over the radio Peter told us that he thought their van Blitz was having some problems.

Just a day or two after the hike into the Frank Church Wilderness we were ready to head back out on our next adventure! This time we were heading back into the Sawtooths with our sights set on the highest peak in the range!

When we came to Idaho we had already done a lot of research on overnight backpacking trips. We knew that this area is choke-full of them, however, this one as not on our radar.

At the tail end of the previous episode, we celebrated Owen’s birthday with a fancy dinner out on the town. Leading up to his birthday, Owen explicitly said he didn’t want me to get him anything for his birthday. But with every passing day, he was borrowing Chase and Aimee’s spare rod more and I knew that his very own fly rod was the perfect gift.

Three weeks of staying in Jackson meant that we had three weeks of watching the sunrise and sunset over the Tetons. Just about every night we all made our way out to a clearing to watch the sun dip behind the mountains and light up the sky. We came to realize that no two sunsets in Jackson are alike. We were treated to so many unique views that we’re more captivating than the last!

The episode starts out with us arriving in the Jackson, WY area for a few days of camping before heading closer to town and Teton National Park. This is one of our favorite camp spots for the wonderful views and easy access to fishing.

After leaving Dinosaur National Monument in Colorado we headed up north into Wyoming for the first of many times this summer. When we first got there we had no idea how much we’d end up doing in the state, but more on that later.

On our way north we didn’t want to rush to the National Monument, so like always, we took the scenic route through a canyon that featured some of the best and most dense petroglyphs sites we’ve seen to date.

After leaving the Capitol Reef area we moved a little further north, once again looking for a place to spend our last few days with Karissa and Linhbergh. On our way to our destination, we stopped at a shallow and cool creek to take a dip and escape the heat, if even for just a few mins.

At the end of Episode 1 we were in Capitol Reef National Park. We then made our way to this special spot outside the park for a few days to sit still and wait for our last party to arrive!

Each week I will be posting a blog post to accompany the video so we can share some behind the scenes photos from each episode and I can write a little more in-depth about our experiences! First up, episode one: Leaving Quarantine.

Last year’s gift guide focused on environmentally friendly gifts, while I will always have that in the back of my mind when giving gifts, this year I wanted to focus mostly on small businesses.

Much like our blog, we’ve been quiet over on our YouTube channel. Since leaving quarantine back in early June we’ve been documenting our travels to capture what it’s been like to travel amidst a global pandemic and more recently we’ve been working hard to put it together into a series we’ve named A Summer Adrift.

To kick things off I want to share the Q&A that we did over on Instagram. We’ve done this before, but we have a lot of new faces here and I’m sure that you all have some new questions!

Finding the right vehicle for Overlanding, Vanlife, Touring or Road Trips of any kind can be a really daunting task. There’s so much out there making it hard to know where to start! Over time we’ve developed a technique to help bring focus to our search.

Hey there Friends! The day has finally come for our first ever official gear review! Being gear heads we spend a lot of time reading reviews and selecting the perfect gear for our needs, which is why we’re so excited to finally contribute some of our own insight! First up, Hydro Flask: Trail Series!

We wanted to write a little blog post detailing some of long time and new favorites that will be on sale May 15th - May 25th. If you’re anything like us we’re using this downtime to plan out our adventures as things start to open back up! Now is the perfect time to round out your gear collection for everything you need to go further and stay longer this summer!

About a month ago we filmed a Day in the Life: Quarantine video and are finally getting around to releasing it.

This is a blog post/video that we’ve been looking forward to sharing for some time now! Today we’re going to be covering all of the edits that we’ve done to our home on wheels over the last year of living to it.
