Maybe We're Just Rambling
22 episodes - English - Latest episode: over 1 year ago - ★★★★★ - 3 ratingsWhat if we told you that we never actually planned any of this out? Sure, certain details were intentional- it's hard to just fall into a completely self-sustaining solar system or *gasp* a composting toilet. But when we look at where we are now, we've found ourselves going, "How did we get here?" And it has created some pretty interesting conversations. So come along on the ride as we take those conversations virtual and try to stay on topic while doing so. Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/stuart--rebecca/support

Jetboats, New Friends, and Lessons From Racehorses
May 28, 2022 03:29 - 47 minutes - 44.4 MBThis week we ramble from the heart and share our impressions of the people we've met and places we've seen since being in Idaho. We've only been here a month, but it's safe to say this place will leave its mark on us long after we're gone.

Aliens, Ghosts, and the Meaning of Life
May 10, 2022 00:12 - 1 hour - 71.8 MBDo you believe in aliens? What about ghosts? What happens when we die? And why are we here? This week we decided to diverge from the theme of our last few episodes and just truly ramble. So we hope you enjoy listening to us pick each other's brains in the most random way possible.

How We Keep Safe + a Story About Highway Robbery
April 30, 2022 20:03 - 48 minutes - 45.3 MBIt's a big, wide world out there, full of adventure and incredible experiences waiting to happen. The last thing anyone wants is for any of that to be tainted by a negative experience. And as more and more people hit the open road and embrace the nomadic life, that means there will be those who try to exploit the innocence and ignorance of travels for their own gains. But just because that's a reality doesn't mean we have to live (and travel) in fear! There are so many ways to equip yourself...
Work Camping
April 24, 2022 00:30 - 51 minutes - 47.9 MBA big part of the reason we went AWOL for two months was because we werebusy getting our rig ready to roll north- to work camp! Have you ever heard people talk about work camping, but you don't really know what that means? Have you considered work camping, but aren't quite sure how to find and apply for jobs? Or maybe you're wondering about the job itself- what would you actually do? This week we sit down and talk about all of that and so much more. Work camping is a great way to set up a ho...
Let's Talk About Money
April 11, 2022 22:47 - 1 hour - 73.7 MBMoney is one of those things people can get funny about. For some reason, it's awkward, uncomfortable, and even taboo to talk about money! But when you're living an alternative lifestyle, the money it all takes is important- especially when it comes to people considering that lifestyle for themselves. If you don't know how much it will cost you (or save you) why would you even consider it at all??? Like it or not, money makes the world go round- but it doesn't have to be a nasty conversation....
RV Maintenance 101
February 13, 2022 18:30 - 46 minutes - 42.8 MBHaving an RV is supposed to be fun, but nothing can ruin that quicker than something going wrong- especially when it's something that was completely preventable! So this week we follow-up how to buy an RV with how to properly maintain your new home-on-wheels. There may be a bit of a learning curve, but fear of the unknown should never be enough to hold you back, and we hope that this week's episode sheds a little bit of light on something that too few people seem to understand. Links to the...
How to Buy a RV
January 24, 2022 03:59 - 58 minutes - 54 MBBuying an RV can feel like an overwhelming challenge that a lot of people feel completely unprepared for. But it doesn't have to be that way! There are so many resources out there to guide first, second, and even third- time RV buyers through the process. Yes, there is a learning curve, but it's like anything- once you get the basics down, it really isn't so bad. So in this episode we share some of the tips and tricks we've learned and implemented in our own RV buying experience. We hope tha...
The Lows (and Highs) of RV Living
January 09, 2022 21:05 - 55 minutes - 51.2 MBEven though the warnings abound, people tend to think of the full-time RV or van life as non-stop scenic vistas, Instagram-worthy adventures, and cozy mornings in the sunlight. It is all of those things but it also comes with its own unique set of challenges and issues. We have all been warned not to assume that someone's life is identical to what they share on the 'gram, but it's an easy trap to fall into. So this week, we wanted to talk about some of the lows of RV life and how we got thro...
What Being Off-Grid Taught Us
January 01, 2022 01:23 - 54 minutes - 50 MBAs we round out the year and look ahead to 2022, we're full of reflections of the last year and everything we've learned. There are so many takeaways, but especially when it comes to living off-grid.

Our Thoughts on the Holidays- A Very Merry Ramble
December 21, 2021 04:11 - 56 minutes - 52.3 MBThis week we wanted to talk about our reason for the season, how our philosophy towards the holidays have changed, and why we choose to celebrate the season a bit differently.

December 11, 2021 04:49 - 1 hour - 72.6 MBThis week Stuart sits down for an impromptu interview with Rebecca and asks her questions about something that is near and dear to her heart- health and fitness.

Stuart's Take: Pushing the Limits and Setting Records in a 5.7 Ram
December 03, 2021 20:51 - 1 hour - 58.7 MBOur reputations precede us a lot of the time. Usually because we are doing something out of the ordinary. In Stuart's case, it's not just because he lives in an RV. It's also because he just so happen to own the fastest NA SBE 4dr Ram in the world. Most people would probably be more than a little skeptical that a half-ton pick-up truck could be capable of such excessive speed, but setting records? In this episode, Rebecca interviews Stuart about his truck, "Murph", the different modification...
LIFE UPDATE: All Around the World in a Pick-Up Truck
November 27, 2021 03:47 - 41 minutes - 38 MBThis week we break some news that is fresh off the presses! We could not contain our excitement and it was the perfect opportunity to sit down and tell the world about Rebecca's decision to sell her current truck, and buy a stronger, more capable vehicle for all of our nomadic needs. It was a big decision that was the culmination of weeks' worth of research and consideration. We still need to name the new addition (a 2005 Chevy Silverado 3500) so if you have any suggestions, be sure to let u...
Veganism and Hunting
November 20, 2021 16:11 - 1 hour - 79.3 MBThis week we sit down and get a little controversial. We are talking about veganism and hunting, or more specifically, how our perspective of hunting has evolved- especially in Rebecca's case, since she has been plantbased for several years. Our relationship with the natural world is something that comes up quite a bit in our daily lives. It is something we have spent many hours discussing, and we probably will continue to devote time to it going forward. We choose to take a nuanced approach...
The Situation With Our Education + Reflecting on the Gabby Petito Case
November 16, 2021 01:43 - 1 hour - 61.9 MBThis week we talk about our path through higher education- which definitely hasn't been linear- and why we've chosen to take the route we have. We also talk about the Gabby Petito case, which resonated with us both so deeply, from the moment the news that she was missing hit the airwaves. Our hearts go out to both the Petito and Laundry families as they grieve the loss of their loved ones. Speculation aside, we can only imagine what going through something like this must be like. If you or ...
Twelve Legs Plus Thirty Feet Equals Too Much Fun (aka traveling with dogs)
November 05, 2021 22:52 - 47 minutes - 44.2 MBWe've recorded a few episodes now, but somehow neglected to mention the other half of our family- our dogs! Traveling with dogs can be daunting, but we've found that the pros far outweigh any cons. We wanted to talk about that, and share some ways we keep the chaos under control in 200sq. feet.
