Decisions, Decisions: What Camper to Choose?

4/20/2019

0 Comments

 
After much deliberation we purchased a trailer! There are so many options, features, and styles to choose from it was quite the process to narrow it down to the type of camper that would fit our needs! As we were passing through Florida, on our way to Alabama, we found a 2015 Hiker Trailer at an RV store! This blog post is about why we choose this trailer compared to the other options that are out there!

Since November, when we first decided we were going to travel full time, we have been researching different options for our living arrangements while on the road. For us, we really wanted to stay below $15,000 for our purchase which would include a used vehicle, if we needed to. In addition, we wanted:

Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia

We had the pleasure to spend a couple days in Colonial Williamsburg, which is a small historical area in Williamsburg, Virginia. I had been to this area before with my mom a few years ago and I loved it so much I had to bring my husband with since he also loves history!

Colonial Williamsburg is a wonderful place to learn about the history of this country. Essentially, it is about an 11 block area that has been preserved ​and restored to the setting of Virginia's 18th-century capitol.

Our Thru Hike Turned into a Section Hike

4/17/2019

0 Comments

 
Well, Jake and I have come to find out that we are not thru hikers. We hiked 77.8 miles of the Appalachian Trail, through almost all of the Georgia section, and after 12 days on the trail we decided to make it a section hike instead of a thru hike. 

​We have always loved the outdoors, backpacking, hiking, camping, skiing, etc and when we decided to start off our new lifestyle of full-time travel with a thru hike of the Appalachian Trail, we figured we would have a blast.

77.8 Mile Appalachian Trail Section Hike

​Jake and I spent 11 days backpacking the Georgia portion of the Appalachian Trail in April with Sammy, our Red Heeler rescue dog. We intended to do a thru hike but found that thru hiking wasn’t our thing so we opted to get off trail and start traveling around the United States!

We thought we would share our experience of our 77.8 mile section hike!

What's in Your Pack?

​When out for an adventure, no matter the length, it is important to be prepared! Whether on a short day hike or a 2 week backcountry trip, the type of pack you bring and the gear you have with you can make or break your get-away! So be prepared for your next excursion and see what is recommended!

​​PACK
For a day hike, a pack that is about 18 – 25L normally works the best. It just depends on how much stuff you like to carry or if you are carrying gear for you and your hiking partner. I find the Osprey Hikelight 18L is just perfect for me because it has a frame which keeps the pack off my back and allows for better ventilation while on the trail. Also, there are a few areas to store gear.

Thru Hiking with a Dog on the Appalachian Trail

We will be bringing Sammy, our youngest dog, with us on our thru hike of the Appalachian Trail. He is a 38lb red heeler mix that we adopted last August. He is such a character and full of energy! We are getting him all geared up for the trip and even bought him special dog food. For those looking to do the same with their dog, here is what we have learned to prepare our little fur baby for the trip!

With this being our first thru hike we did quite a bit of research on the particulars of bringing a dog. ​

Today was Bittersweet...

2/5/2019

Today was bittersweet. I put my notice in at work and it made me sad because I work for such a good company. My manager was so supportive and even congratulated Jake and I for following our dreams. It has taken me a long time to find a job I really enjoy and a company that shares the same values I do. I hope to work for them again in the future once Jake and I are through with our travels. I am happy to know that I will be missed and that I was a valuable part of the team. It feels good to know that I made a difference. Now, I hope to go and make a positive impact in the areas we will be traveling to.

Hello world! My name is Sammy and I am the newest addition to the Karras household! I was adopted last August while I was sitting outside of PetSmart watching all these humans and furry animals go by. I was just wagging my tail and trying to look as cute as possible because I could tell something BIG was going to happen that day! I was rescued by Friends of Pets out of Chadron, NE. They saved me from a kill shelter out of New Mexico. It was scary living on the street when I was really little.

​Debt is like the heavy weight being carried around with us everywhere we go. Every purchase, activity, vacation, or meal, thinking in the back of our minds: “Can we afford this? Should we really be spending our money on this?” It sucks and after 24 months of diligently working on paying off our debt, using the Dave Ramsey Baby Steps, we are DEBT FREE (excluding our home)! ​We didn’t want to be like the average American
