Just a quick note to say that today, February 21 is our Nomadiversary. Today we celebrate completing 7 years of full-time travel owning no home or property and begin our 8th year. Brittany wrote a little article about it in case anyone is interested: Celebrating 7 Years of Full-Time Travel...

Talk to Lee Hoffman at Altitude Industries in Denver. We bought our family sized RTT through him and we've been really happy with both the tent and the experience of working with Lee. ~ Eric

We've been fans of KÜHL Clothing for years. (Transparently they sponsor us now) But before they ever knew we existed my wardrobe was already filled nearly exclusively with the brand. They look good, and more importantly are durable. I abuse the hell out of my clothes and I've never been able to...

Thought Journal 002 - 2/17/21 We are 19 days away from starting the next phase of our adventure. We'll be a full-time overlanding family on or about March 6, 2021. Though we've been traveling full-time for the past 7 years already, this living in the Jeep full-time thing is next level for us...

Hi Eddie, We haven't fully locked everything in, but we are looking at going with lithium batteries, 280W of solar, a RedArc management system, and the recommendations of Juniper Overland in Denver, CO based on our anticipated needs when it comes to electrical capacity. We're also still locking...

Right, I mean temporary import of vehicle, not a true import. I'm so thankful that you are sharing your personal experience. We are all about weighing options and getting information from folks who have the experience we yet do not have. I can imagine how funny that must have been when the...

There is so much we are going to learn along the way. I feel a bit overwhelmed at glancing at all of this, but I'll do like I've always done and take it a step at a time. I really appreciate your insight and experience. Regarding the visas: I've spent most of the morning looking at the official...

Hey we promised to be transparent. So no question is really off limits. We know this is a "taboo" subject for some, but let's face it, we've all gotta go. ? As fulltime travelers who spend much of our time offroad and off grid, one of the most frequent questions we get asked is about our...

This is us. We have some thoughts to share, a favor to ask, an update, AND some exciting news. I'll try and keep it brief but hope you'll take a moment to read... It is surreal to start our full-time overlanding journey as a family. We are humbled by all of the people and companies who have...

We did it. Today is officially our first day as full-time overlanders. Achievement Unlocked. Yesterday we sold our beloved Basecamp (our Winnebago View) and as of today we live exclusively in our Jeep Wrangler full-time until we pick up our Gladiator in June. Then we’ll move into the...

Thank you so much for your insight. Visas intimidate me to some degree. I have this nagging feeling that I'm going to make some catastrophic error in timing that will cause us a ton of red-tape because of my error. The consolation is that so many others have done what we hope to do in various...

A major milestone for our journey around the world is in process. There are moments in life where you just have to leap. I compare this to the adventures of youth where you climb a massive rock above a lake and plan to jump into the depths far below. The climb itself can be a challenge, but...

Knowing you, your shop, and your background... I can only imagine what you'll be coming up with. I'm really looking forward to seeing this build. Caspian still remembers Big Oxx. He surprises me with his memory. For whatever reason just the other day when we were in GUARDIAN he was asking me to...

Our 10-15 year drive around the world is a massive undertaking. Today we are thrilled to announce that EQUIPT Expedition Outfitters has become our newest gear sponsor and partner on this journey! Because of cargo space and payload considerations, we have to be extremely selective about the...

Today we started making our first phone calls to Jeep dealerships in search of the elusive unicorn. Ultimately our build is so specific that we'll probably need to order it custom built via the factory through a dealership. We are looking at a gas Jeep Gladiator Sport S with Max Tow Package w/...

Sometimes you have to take a leap. It is just the way it is if you are going to actually put your dreams into motion. We've had to do this several times in our journey thus far and today is another one of those days. This may seem nominal to some, but the reality is that this is a huge move for...

Good Lord I wish I spoke German right about now. Beautiful build!

Personally I'm a Jeeper and our main issue is payload capacity for which the Jeep as a platform is abysmal. I'm not sure what your payload capacity is in your FJ. But if I were you I would create a spreadsheet and start with your payload capacity, add the allowance that Toyota gives you for the...

Always a great read my friend. Thank you for sharing your thoughts not only visually but with your descriptive words that have us right there with you. ~ Eric

We are also looking into Webasto as a potential solution for our global overland build. I sent them a message on Facebook and they were very cordial and quick to respond. I gave their team on FB my requirements for my build and they are going to contact me after January 4th as their staff is...
