About

Hello! Welcome to this blog! Pictured here is our first teardrop trailer and the one we happened to have built from scratch in 2012. If you haven’t yet been introduced into the world of teardrop trailers, you’re in for a treat. They’re pretty neat. They’re lightweight, compact, and make traveling with some creature comforts nice and easy.

If you’re interested in teardrop trailers, read here about our home-built teardrop’s key features and how we built it . . . Building our Teardrop Trailer from Scratch.

Since we started traveling with our home-built trailer, we were like a couple of kids… always taking off on last-minute trips because of how easy the trailer was to tow and to have pre-packed and ready to go! Of course, we took a lot of trips without our home-built trailer, too, so you’ll read about those adventures as well. We love nature and the outdoors and try our best to get out there as often as we can.

We did eventually sell our beloved home-built trailer after enjoying her for a full TEN years. We’ve since moved up to a slightly larger manufactured teardrop-shaped trailer, but stuck to our tent-camping roots by going with the outdoor hatchback-style kitchen galley–just like our original home-built trailer. After all, we still want to stay more connected to the outdoor world while camping. We spend very little time inside our newer, larger trailer–basically, it provides us a dry and comfortable night’s sleep and a basic indoor bathroom, which is an absolutely divine creature comfort!

FOLLOW US and you’ll hear about the places we’ve been and the wonders that await you when you’re outside playing! Nothing is quite as inspirational as being out in nature. Nothing so easily restores balance in an otherwise hectic world than getting away from it all and getting down to the basics. Come along for the ride, and you may find something of interest, whether that be: the antique Chevy 3100 pickup hubby restored and rebuilt; the nature-inspired jewelry I make when I get a chance; random travel, camping, or hiking tips we might offer; ideas inspired from other teardrop trailers; possibly even a bit of armchair wisdom about life.

Our main goal is to get outside as often as possible and hopefully encourage you to do the same. And if that happens to inspire you to respect and help preserve the stunning national parks and wildernesses in this country and around the world, then that would make us even happier.

Nothing makes humans feel and act more human–in a GOOD way–than getting back to their roots . . . back into NATURE. But many people don’t understand the importance of being out in nature, because they already suffer from NATURE DEFICIENCY.

(Nature deficit disorder refers to the phrase coined by Richard Louv in his 2005 book “Last Child in the Woods” that human beings, especially children, are spending less time outdoors, resulting in a wide range of behavioral problems.)

We hope, in a very humble way, with this blog as a tool, to inspire more people to get out and RECONNECT WITH NATURE. We think teardrop trailers make camping more palatable for more people who traditionally dislike or have slowly tired of tent camping.

Teardrop trailers = More People Camping = A REALLY GOOD THING!

Who knows . . . maybe our adventures will inspire you to buy or build your own teardrop trailer!

It’s all about keeping life as stress-free as possible. And it can be. You’ve just got to keep it simple and enjoy the little things in life–like teardrop trailers!
