03 Oct Link: How To Van Camp / A Restless Transplant

Posted at 09:23h in archive by Prashant Gopal

I think almost everyone reaches some kind of breaking point in their life where they contemplate leaving all that they know behind in search of a simpler life. Of the population that may think this, some people may fantasize about simplifying their life so much as to live out of their van in search of adventures and a stress-free lifestyle. Foster Hunting did just that. After leaving his design job in NYC and packing his belongings in to a van, he set out for the west coast in search of places to surf and camp. The video above shows how easily you can van camp.

He has nothing to do with bikes, but I’m sure the aforementioned video, his photos, and travels are relatable to anyone that has day dreamed about setting off on the road with total freedom. You can follow some of his sites, photos, and projects here:

Last December, 11 of us we’re fortunate enough to make the trip from the great white North that is Canada to Barcelona, Spain. This trip wouldn’t have happened if it weren’t for our boy Dillon Lloyd getting second place in the Hunt and getting a trip to Barcelona as the result. It’s only fair that Dillon start off our Embajada in Barcelona DVD remix edits. If you haven’t already, you can grab a copy of the dvd here for $5.
