Bonnie Larsen bought her bus as her marriage of many years was ending. Working on the bus and becoming part of the greater VW community helped her heal and move on, she says. As part of her journey, she opened up an online store, ToolMomStore.com   

On this very impromptu episode, Darwin is joined by friend and creative partner, Chris Carter (aka RAD), to discuss the root of why we hunger for travel. What is it about experiencing different cultures around the world, that is so humbling to the soul. They also share some information about an upcoming Travel Series that is in the works.To get early access to episodes, bonus media, and exclusive merch,  join The Outdoor Evolution by supporting us on Patreon.Go to www.theoutdoorevolution.com to keep up to date with all of our new articles, films, products, and more.Follow us on Instagram @the_outdoor_evolutionEmail us at theoutdoorevolution@gmail.comFollow Chris on Instagram @chriscarter146 or check out his Youtube Channel

The freedom to explore lies at the heart of the American dream. And with more people turning left to the open road rather than turning right toward the office, their nine to fives are being spent in shorts and tank top rather than putting on the necktie neck noose.  Subject discussed in the first segment: Freedom Culture Subject discussed in the second segment: The Roll of Cannabis GREG THE GUINEA PIG: Kalani Martin is the Business Development Manager for Viking Cannabis Company based in Bellingham, Washington.

Amanda and Matt Hakola have owned a few buses before finally finding their current bus and landing in Oklahoma. Their bus is also the mothership for their business Ragtag Resilience—an approach to stabilizing food systems by doing a lot of little things that add up to change. (They farm their .15 acres and grow lots of amazing foods to feed their family and sell at market.) Their business caught the eye of Leonardo DiCaprio's personal chef during on-location filming  of Martin Scorsese's “Killers of the Flower Moon" and led to Amanda and Matt catering the film's wrap party. 

Pat invited us out to camp at his place near the last stand of tall grass prairie in Kansas, where has been working on a novel narrated by a VW bus—an imagined memoir of his VW bus which was salvaged from a field and filled with clues about its past life. 

Scott Brady, Graeme Bell, and Stephan Edwards discuss the joys of traveling the African continent, including a comprehensive discussion about the classic western and eastern routes. Additional details regarding documentation, vehicles, and cultural considerations are also covered, the group reflecting on the immense ecological and cultural beauty of the countries of the continent.Full show notes available at Overland Journal Podcast

Join us for the last leg of our 49-state adventure. This season we meet Jarah, the Linnertime DJ at Happy Productions as she makes plans to take her bus on the road. We stop to meet Pat, an author who wrote a memoir told from the point of view of his bus. In Oklahoma, we sat down with Amanda and Matt, two local food advocates who kept Leonardo DiCaprio stocked with fresh healthy foods while he filmed “Killers of the Flower Moon.” In Minnesota we finally caught up to Bonnie, a road warrior whose bus provided her with escape and healing after a divorce. Carson shared the heartbreak of his family's bus—a story about addiction and anger, recovery and, yeah, even trombones. Then, in the closing week of our 14 month journey, we met up with Miranda and James, the original owners of our bus, Adie. They even brought along Miranda's dad, Ken, who worked on Adie a lot over the years. And finally—there's us. Miracle and I sat down (after some urging from our interviewees over the past year) and shared our thoughts on this wild, wonderful time we've had producing this series and, as Geoff from season 3 would say, living the dream. 

Oh, the Sullivans! We love these people. Jarah is the daughter of Emma and Shawn Sullivan, our friends and podcast syndicators at Happy Productions. Jarah is super cool and is carrying on the family legacy in more than one way. You should check out her band, Dellwood, and definitely listen to her radio show Linnertime, which airs on Happy Productions from 2-6 p.m. Monday-Friday. 

Do you struggle to put yourself out there and tell people what you do!? Find yourself in your house, never getting out and meeting new people or telling them what you offer (who could SERIOUSLY benefit from your work!?) It happens to us all, and in fact, on this episode, I'm sharing what has happened in my life and business after challenging myself to hop out of the van and have more AUTHENTIC conversations with people! You don't wanna miss this episode, especially if you're building a business and desiring a freedom-based, nomadic lifestyle!

This week we sit down to with author and van lifer, Dot Bekker. Between November 2018 and August 2019, Dot traveled from Spain to her hometown in Zimbabwe in an old, self-converted campervan; A 1998 Blue Ford Transit, lovingly named BlueBelle, who also happened to be a 2WD. That's right, Dot & BlueBelle, against all odds, (slowly) drove 20,000km solo to get 'home to Africa'. And the stories & insights that she shares with us from this trip are truly inspirational. Dot's hope is to motivate others to take on challenges and to realise their own potential because as she wrote in her book, ”if an ordinary sixty-year old woman could make something extraordinary happen, then so can you.” Dot's Book “Going Home to Africa” is available here: https://amzn.to/3YVVwMx Learn more about how you can connect with & support Dot's charity work here: www.goinghometoafrica.com Send Dot your emojis on Instagram here: @goinghometoafrica

Sophie is an absolute gem of a human. We talk about "The" path she was on is one that will sound familiar to many of you. Academy grad->SOF->MBA->MBB Consulting ->....realizing this isn't the path. Sophie got off the flywheel of success, moved into a van, and started to travel around the country working remotely and just living. Oh, she also found a way to climb Mt. Everest along the way (now the 2nd guest I've had who has made the top and a third is planning the trip). Sophie's Instagram YouTubeAlso check out her new podcast: Apple PodcastsSpotify

Today I'm joined by Chap Grubb, founder of Rerouted. From living in a 1981 Volkswagen Van for 18 months after college to an unexpected transition into the world of professional poker, Chap is now busy revolutionizing the used gear industry helping anyone who dreams of creating their own wilderness adventures do it with used gear from rerouted. Oh . . . and they promise to defend and improve the wilderness - as Ed Abbey wished   Brought to you by Show Notes How were you introduced to the Outdoors? Yeah, so, as a kid, my parents were not outdoor adventurers. They were more outdoor enthusiasts. The most distinct defining memory of my outdoor adventure [00:02:20] history was when we were 13 years old. We sat down and we gave our parents a presentation as to why we felt like we could [00:02:30] go camping. Outside for two days by ourselves. Your profile also says you're a former professional [00:03:50] poker player. Tell us about that. When I was in college, I studied English [00:04:10] and linguistics because I knew I wanted to teach something, but I didn't know what I wanted to teach. So I actually had [00:04:20] moved to Moab, Utah because I just wanted to rock climb and was looking for a job in Moab Utah, and stumbled into [00:04:30] working at an after-school program at the elementary school. So working a couple of hours a week at the after-school program. I was living in my Westfalia at the time and [00:04:40] you know, just meeting friends and I started playing a bunch of cards with the local community there, and all of a sudden all the money I was making [00:04:50] was getting saved and I was just starting to make a good living playing cards just with my buddies [00:05:00] and decided to go for it, and it ended up working out really well for me. Somewhere I read maybe in your profile you say you have ADHD. Is that diagnosed or are you just like the rest of us that can't pick a lane? When I finally [00:09:40] submitted to my diagnosis, I did it in college because I realized, with the workload of a traditional post-secondary [00:09:50] education, I wasn't going to be successful. It required too much, just quiet discipline and no [00:10:00] low-energy efforts. And so I finally went in and I got my Adderall Prescription from the school psychiatrist, and she [00:10:10] looked at me, she said, Chap, I have no idea how you graduated from high school because you're just, your brain is all over the place. But Rick, [00:10:20] when I saw that question prompted, the first thing that I wanted to say was that I've always seen my A D H D as a superpower, right? The second [00:10:30] I got outta college, I stopped taking my medicine. The second I didn't need that really [00:10:40] high level of discipline and structure to be successful at what I'm doing. That's when I immediately stopped taking my meds and I would [00:10:50] never go back, and I am fairly confident if I was on my Adderall currently, I probably wouldn't have the [00:11:00] creative urge and the motivation and the energy to go be a founder. What is the inspiration behind Re-Routed? All of my friends in the outdoor [00:13:30] industry probably know this feeling. Three years ago, my wife Sam, said, Chap, please get all of this stuff out of my garage. And I thought to [00:13:40] myself, what am I supposed to do with all this stuff? I'd spent 20 years accumulating all this gear. Most of it's still functional, most of it [00:13:50] I'm not using. It's just sitting there collecting dust. So I sat there and I thought about it and I was like, I'm not [00:14:00] gonna sell this stuff on eBay or Craigslist. It's gonna take me months and I, it's not gonna be worth my time, energy, and effort for the money that I'm gonna make off of it. So I [00:14:10] actually threw it all of my truck and trailer. and I started driving around the country. I went to 15 events in 10 different states, buying and selling outdoor gear. Just [00:14:20] kind of for fun. Everybody I [00:14:30] talked to, Thousands of people I spoke with said, chap, when are you gonna come to my house and fix this problem for me? Get my stuff right? Yeah. They're [00:14:40] fix this for me, please. So I got home in the winter of 2019 [00:14:50] and instead of having a hundred items, I had a thousand items, because that's the way it goes. So now I'm sitting there with 10 times the gear, thinking to myself, what really is the problem? Why did everybody I [00:15:10] met say there was stuff in their garage? What is limiting them? And so that's kind of how we've merged into [00:15:20] An outdoor industry tech company and really focused on the uploading experience and [00:15:30] automating and making that instantaneous and zero effort for anybody that wants to sell anything. Tell our listeners about the  Morrison Exchange A long time ago we met the owner of Morrison Outdoors and, [00:30:10] they're baby sleeping bags. He goes, Chap, nobody uses these for that long. The [00:30:20] kids grow outta them. And it's not like they're ruining them, right. They're just sleeping in 'em and then they're done. And he said, Chap, I [00:30:30] really need my users to do something with these. I want 'em to be able to return it. I want 'em to be able to, you know, get it back to the next kid so that it doesn't sit around and it doesn't get wasted. And so we created a relationship with him where the people that buy new bags can send [00:30:50] in their bags to us and we pay them directly. And we have a waiting list of over a hundred people. So the Morrison bags [00:31:00] don't even make it to our website anymore. When do you have time to go outside, do you still climb? We have found it [00:32:40] to be a huge blessing to be able to. Use the baby as our reason to go outside. So for [00:32:50] for the audience, my son, his name's Archer. Archer is 10 months old now. And Sam, my wife, is our head of marketing at Rerouted. So Sam [00:33:00] and I are both. Really deep in the startup grind. She's been with me since the very beginning of this project and she's been all committed, but when we had the baby [00:33:10] 10 months ago, we looked at each other and said, we can't just sit and work all the time anymore. That's not an option, especially because [00:33:20] it's not like we have childcare on a founder's budget, right? So we're always with the baby, but he can't just sit and watch us be on our computers all the time. [00:33:30] That's not what we want. That's not what he wants. And so we've been lucky that his first month after 30 days, we went out and did an overnight camping [00:33:40] trip. We got him out on a raft and did a short float on some easy train. At about three or four months, we've been out [00:33:50] climbing with him a bunch. We've been able to go to MoabWe're really lucky that we live in the southwest, that these outdoor adventures are [00:34:00] accessible. Do you have any suggestions and/or advice for folks wanting to get into the outdoor/adventure biz?  The outdoor adventure industry, as I'm sure you all know, lives in its own [00:37:40] special world. Cause we're not in Silicon Valley, we're not in biotech, we're not in any of [00:37:50] these Despite the fact that we're almost a 900 billion annual business industry, [00:38:00] it lives in this weird space. That said, if you love the [00:39:00] outdoors, there's no better way to immerse yourself in the industry than going and solving a problem for the industry you care the most about. They always [00:39:10] say, as a kid, do what you love. and I get to tell people every day that I help people buy and sell secondhand outdoor gear, right?[00:39:20] And I love it, and it makes me so happy. And I could give my pitch a million times and I could never stop talking about it. [00:39:30] So if you care about something, there's an opportunity here and people are really willing [00:39:40] in this industry to support new businesses. So what I would say is, for the people that wanna [00:38:10] start, there are a million unexplored ideas out there. Don't ever be scared that its not gonna [00:38:20] be original enough because there are thousands and thousands and thousands of unsolved problems. What is your favorite outdoor gear purchase under $100?  The one that I found that has treated me so well for [00:41:30] so long was years and years and years ago, 10 years ago, long before rerouted was even an idea, I was with some buddies [00:41:40] hanging out, playing in our neighborhood and stumbled across a garage sale, and I bought a $50 Osprey backpack. It's [00:41:50] enormous. It's purple. and it's been my backpack for everything I've ever done. It goes on the boat, it goes backpacking, it goes [00:42:00] when we go camping, we've traveled with it. I mean, I'm biased by the things used. [00:42:10] But you can find things used that last for decades. This backpack, Archer will use this backpack. It's never gonna go bad. It's gonna last forever, and I'll patch it up and continue to use it because that's the way outdoor gear should be used. How about some of your favorite books, are you a big reader? So the practical book I'll give, I live by the [00:44:40] work of Seth Godin. The philosophy he brings to the table just is really well aligned with the way I see my relationships with my users, my relationship with my team. The book I'll recommend is Purple Cow. Another one that's a little more off the [00:45:10] beaten path is I read a book by Kim Scott that's called Radical Candor, and it's about how to approach the [00:45:20] naturally difficult conversations that happen as somebody that's in leadership and management. And then my fun book is, I'm a sucker for Fantasy Reads and love Brandon Sanderson, [00:46:40] who writes Mistborn and The Stormlight Archive and is just, he's fun.

My guest this week is Claire Fleming. Claire travels solo in her van with her cute dog Oscar. We talked about her vanbuild, the one thing you need to know when crossing the border into Canada with a dog, (and it's probably not what you think), and how she has fun and keeps Oscar safe when she's away from the van. Claire and I had a great conversation Key takeaways 1. Building out a van always takes longer than you think. 2. Harvest Hosts is a great free option for solo travelers 3. When crossing the US border, be aware of what produce you have with you. 4. Once you start making friends and community, it becomes easier to meet more people. They introduce you to their friends and so on. 5. Having a pet on the road can be great to break loneliness, but you do have to consider their needs as well. 6. Claire uses the Simplisafe system to monitor for safety and to ensure her dog is ok Connect with Claire: Everywhere with Claire website Claire's Instagram Claire's Youtube Mentioned in this Episode: Kurgo 6 in 1 Hands Free Dog Leash Seekr Fan Solo Women RV Solo Women RV Website Solo Women RV Facebook Page Solo Women RV theme song is Fields Station by Nikole Potulsky --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/kathy-belge/support

Many of the people most enthusiastic and full of questions about our Vanlife are often college-aged, so it was not a surprise to us when the analytics of the Nomads You and I Podcast revealed most of our listeners are between the ages of 18 and 22.

Sometimes, finding the best products for your campervan and getting help on your van build can be REALLY difficult. You typically have to browse tons of different platforms and company websites for everything you need. Ben Quesnel, a 4-year on-the-road nomad, founded Simpler Ways to try to change that. Simpler Ways is like the REI for van life, DIY tutorials, foldable laundry basins and other products to help modern nomads on the road. They also have a section dedicated to surfing and yoga activities. Their goal is to become the one-stop shop for anyone looking to build their own van life experience.It's such a cool website and I'd encourage you to check it out if you're looking for van-specific products. In this episode of The Wayward Home podcast, we'll talk about Ben's transition to nomadic living, the vehicles he's converted into tiny homes and why he created Simpler Ways.

The August 2021 Murder Of Aspiring Travel & Lifestyle Influencer Gabby PetitoGabby Petito was a 22 year old woman who was chasing her dreams of traveling across the United States and sharing her adventures, travels, and lifestyle ideas and hacks via social media.  She was well on her way to making it a reality when her life was tragically cut short by the very companion, her partner in life, that she brought along on her journey.  It is a story that captivated us as we waited on pins and needles for answers as the search for Gabby...and her killer...carried on for weeks.  SOURCES:https://www.the-sun.com/news/3851839/gabby-petito-final-instagram-post-secret-message/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2PStpXFEfIshttps://www.instagram.com/gabspetito/?hl=enhttps://abc7ny.com/gabrielle-petito-brian-laundrie-missing-woman-blue-point/11020206/https://abc7ny.com/gabby-petito-disappearance-timeline-brian-laundrie/11024821/https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/gabby-petitos-family-awarded-3m-wrongful-death-lawsuit-brian-laundries-rcna57686https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/gabby-petitos-family-awarded-3m-wrongful-death-lawsuit-brian-laundries-rcna57686https://gabbypetitofoundation.org/mission-statementLINKS:Patreon:  https://www.patreon.com/killaforniapodPayPal:  https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/killaforniapodMerchandise:  https://killaforniadreamingpodcast.threadless.com/Website:  https://killaforniadreamingpodcast.buzzsprout.com/Facebook Group:  https://www.facebook.com/groups/1296620370450345/Facebook Page:  https://www.facebook.com/killaforniadreamingInstagram:  https://www.instagram.com/killaforniadreamingpod/?hl=enTwitter:  https://twitter.com/killaforniapodEmail:  killaforniapod@gmail.com

Noami Grevemberg is a leader in the world of vanlife, and the founder of Diversify Vanlife, a platform that highlights less-heard voices in vanlife, road travel, and nomadic communities. It's also a resource that helps break down barriers to accessing life on the road, a lifestyle that Noami and her husband Dustin embarked on in 2016.We chatted with Noami towards the end of 2022, when she was coming off a much-needed vacation after finishing her first book, Living the Vanlife: On the Road Toward Sustainability, Community, and Joy. It's part memoir, part how-to guide, in which Noami shares the nitty gritty of their travels with candor, grace, and humor.The start of the book tells the story of how Noami immigrated to the US from Trinidad at just 16, and how she built a life for herself all on her own - from entering college at 25, to climbing the corporate ladder as an environmental scientist. All that hustle took its toll, and by her early 30's Noami was ready for a change. While she wouldn't have envisioned vanlife for herself when she flew to America as a teenager, it's a life she was able to choose for herself. And it's one that she wants others to be able to pursue too.This conversation with Noami is the perfect way to start a new year as we talk about resparking creativity after coming off a big project, realigning yourself with your values, what it took for her to create this book, and what aspiring vanlifers will gain from reading it when it's available this summer.Enjoy listening?
