On the Road to Nowhere

OR : : : A L W A Y S / G O I N G / S O M E W H E R E

I've spent quite a few years sharing time with the wide open road, and also just staying put and farming. The past few years have been more travel, and most of my travel is geared towards a personal research project of exploring ecologies and understanding their nuances, looking for specific plants out there, harvesting wild foods and putting them up to live off of during the year (like wild rice, seaweed, blueberries, persimmons, walnuts to name a few!)

My mini-slide in truck camper right after I got it! This is 35mm film.

I thought I'd post a handful photos from my travels over the years to give you a peek into my world. I have kept a pretty good diary through writing and photography mostly. I'll post some of my stories in time.

in Nevada, after harvesting Pine Nuts. You can see my solar panel on top! I drew up the system and did a lot of the planning and work, and installed it with some assistance from my partner. I"ll post a DIY on this at some point that will make it SUPER easy.

I hope to share tips about traveling and being off grid while traveling as well as craft skills.
I'm also a philosopher (I have a degree in it even!) so the work I do is certainly thought out. SO, on the road to nowhere is really not actually my reality. I am very intentioned and thrifty about it all, that is until I need to throw down $700 to fix something minor on my mobile beast of a home. This has happened way too many times. Heck, maybe I should share on here HOW I problem solved some things.

Today- I cleaned up a broken Gomasio (seaweed, salt, sesame spice blend) jar out of my ice box fridge (all the driving around moves things constantly) and discovered a handful of exploded elderberry syrups I had in the back seat of my truck. Having honey-based medicines in your truck without A/C or a fridge is summer, is a no-go.

I've had things fall from shelves and break, my mirror finally fell down and broke, I've had my camper attachments rip out. I've also been super safe and sound in this thing during storms, where I can batten down the hatches and ride it out.
