    "The people with the nicest shit never get to use it because they're too busy paying for it."
    Couldn't have said it better myself. Hell yeah man.
    Also, the videos are sick but they should be longer. I could've sat here for 40 minutes watching this guy talk aobut his life.

    A true overlander. Has everything you need, nothing you don't. Rare nowadays. Everyone just loads their rigs with anything and everything with no meaning behind it. Everything on his truck has a true purpose and looks it. Respect.

      100%. The best part of 4WD touring is having a set up that is completely dialled in to your needs. Not throwing stuff on it for Instagram likes. It's easy to throw the ARB catalogue at a car. It's harder to actually think about what you truly need and how you can achieve that goal.

    Hey, Huckberry, I think your films are among the best on the Internet. They go way beyond style. They represent. Most of us will spend entire careers trying to reach this level. Thank you for caring so much. 🙏

    Of all the ‘van life’ videos I’ve watched over the years. This one resonates with me the most, especially his simplistic view of the life.
    Hopefully someday I can try to replicate his set up and lifestyle! Great video

    Absolutely best part of the video is the last scene when Foster is repairing his completely destroyed wheels and we get a quick shot of his Nothing Is Fucked bumper sticker. Great dude, great attitude, great video!

    Family of four living in our travel trailer - everything we own is in this trailer + the back of the truck. Home has been where we parked it for the last four years. Including the middle of the desert, next to a river with a steelhead run, in temps below zero with snow, next to abandoned farm house in the middle of miles of grain fields, the bottom of a river gorge… I can attest this life makes the best memories and these are all good tips haha

      My husband and I decided the best way for him to catch lots of big fish and stay true to his dreams of fly fishing adventures was to make it a family affair. Stoked my kids are growing up on the road and in the wild! It’s doable - to anyone wondering!

    We have a similar rig... '05 Ram 3500 diesel with a slide in FWC Hawk on a flatbed with side boxes. I just think this type of rig is the ideal small footprint 4x4 capable camper with plenty of secure/weatherproof storage for your gear.
    Safe travels!

    I hope to get out in it more, maybe for the winter in AZ, rather than just a weekend camper.

    I had the same bent rim experience on one of my trips from Portland to Central America. I was deep down in rural Mexico, and fortunately, there was a small shack close by with a local welder who had the rudimentary tools to put it all right in about 15 minutes for $5.

    Thanks for sharing.
    I really admire your thoughts on this Life.
    Less is More.
    Your video and channel was brought to Me this morning through the wonderful UA-cam Algorithms & I am sure glad that it did.
    I am really looking forward to watching more like this.
    I dream & fantasize of Living on My Own Terms for the rest of my short life as I just recently became 47 Years Young.
    Mostly just like this and more.
    Hunting, Fishing & Loving Every Day.
    Thank You
    See You Soon Brother.

    Amazing build and lifestyle. Looks like Tim is having the time of his life as well! Quick question if you read this: I have an '02 F250 extended cab also with the 7.3 Powerstroke. Did you take your rear seats out and use something like a drawer system for your storage or did you build that yourself? Considering doing the same for mine. Looking forward to your future videos. Thx for sharing!

    I never had that problem, unless your cooking with all the windows closed. Even then a week is quite long.
    Just from my experience. It’s totally worth having those two together. Just remember ventilation.

    Some people push themselves further or go to more remote places because they have Starlink.
    I don’t have Starlink, but if I were on the road full time I probably would. It’s not evil. It’s how and when you use it.

    Funny isn’t it that, when you’re traveling, you realize that there are only three things you really need in life:
    1. Shelter
    2. Water
    3. Food.
    The rest are not necessities, but luxuries.
