Adventurers

I will be shooting some gear review videos soon.

They will outline all of the gear I have used as an AT Thru Hiker and a homeless man living out of my car.

For the time being, I've got my gear recommendations in the link drop downs below..

From Amicalola Falls, GA to Mt. Katahdin, ME

An impulsive decision I made to force myself into living my life. It wasn't quite the punishment I was seeking for all my perceived failures. It never even delivered all the pain I thought I'd deserved.

It was so much more than a hike. This adventure was infinitely more important to the shaping the trajectory of my existence than I could have ever expected.

It was a vision quest, a rite of passage. It expanded my entire world and opened my mind in ways that would have never occurred to me otherwise.

I met so many amazing people and witnessed some of the most breathtaking places in America. My eyes finally began to see the beauty in life, that I wasn't quite able to see before. It showed me that there really is more out there, if only you go out and look for it.

I learned that in this life, you get to choose the world you find yourself in. There are infinite lifetimes of experience out there for you to try your hand in, but this is your only chance and the clock is ticking. So spend that time wisely.

Too often we allow ourselves to be caught up in the triviality of our day to day bullshit, letting the shadow of this bullshit consume our every though and black out the bigger picture.

Life was not meant to be spent shuffling around numbers in a seat that has been assigned to you. There is more out there. But the only way you'll see it is if you spend your time and energy doing the things you love, with the people you love.

The only way to live a truly exceptional life is by spending it doing exceptional things with exceptional people.

Hopefully we can both do our best, to do our best.

Onward,

Deon

We on that hobo shit.

Welcome to late stage capitalism, baby.

Here in America, you're gonna need to work a full time job, run a small business, and do gig work on the side, AND YOU STILL wont be able to afford to rent a fucking crack house.

The dream is alive and well. And if you weren't just a lucky cunt, you'll probably have to sacrifice a majority of your creature comforts and nice things to not be poor for your entire fucking life.

Introduce "Van Life" AKA homelessness.

Now millions of hard working Americans can live in their cars as a means to not be bled dry of their every last cent of income from greedy landlords and business executives.

I'm here to make the transition to your new "home" a little less painful. It is normally a shock to your psyche and your body struggles to get a decent night of sleep for a minute, but take it from a guy who lived in the back seat of his car for 8 months, it ain't that bad if you do it right.

Some food for thought about sacrificing now, for the future.
