outliving the bastards

We left conventional living for something a bit more adventurous. This is our journey out of SF to life on the road with no finalized destination. "So get out there and hunt and fish and mess around with your friends, ramble out yonder and explore the forests, climb the mountains, bag the peaks, run the rivers, breathe deep of that yet sweet and lucid air, sit quietly for a while and contemplate the precious stillness, the lovely, mysterious, and awesome space." - Edward Abbey

From McCalls journey through the Himalayas, part of her 6 months of travel. Love this woman. She is living life beautifully.

First bag made from the old tent cloth I scored earlier this week! This repurposed tote will be auctioned at the Sophie AID event later this month to help Sophie Dillion and her fight with NF. If you live around Lake Almanor check out the event! https://www.facebook.com/events/128087714039881/

Last week was truly epic when it comes to scoring free things. I came across a note at the post office for a canvas tent followed by two finds in the free bin at our local thrift shop. photo above of goods! 

  1. Vintage Canvas tent (per the original owner its probably from the early 50’s). It really is not useable as a tent anymore as it is missing too many pieces so I will be reusing the material for upcoming projects. 
  2. Chambray shirt. a couple holes but still wearable. In fact i have worn it every day since i got it.
  3. REI Coop Gators. old school and in great condition

All of this -  F R E E !!

Outliving the Bastards is not about quitting your desk job to travel.  It is not about being irresponsible.  It is not about not working or just getting by.  It is about creating a life that allows you to thrive now and 20 years from now. If that means grad school, go. Or putting 5 years in with a company to get the position you want, do it.  The path is diferent for everyone. Outliving the Bastards is about not staying stagnent. The goal is to wake up happy, knowing that what you are doing now is contributing to where you want to be tomorrow. Own what you want and dont be scared to take risks. Also. Most importantly, dont take advice from me because Im still figuring it out. Be courageous. Just dont be a Bastard. 

Living on the coast has given me a deeper understanding of how to utilize the varying weather to my advantage. South or North swell means you surf in different spots. The same can be said for a not so typical South wind.  Pillar Point Harbor on a south wind gives kiters access to extremely flat water that is hard to come by in these parts. muito bom
