After almost two weeks in Florida we are back on the road. We were quickly reminded why we installed an air conditioning unit in 2020 and why we like to avoid the south during the summer. It is scolding hot outside! So we stopped in this lake to chill. Literally. While in Florida we: - installed inner cooler - reinforced bike rack - added yet additional storage - flushed the power steering - flushed the brake fluid - greased the brake slide pins - and tighten a lot of bolts Among many small things that added up to a lot. We are slowly getting our grove back and are excited to see you down the road.

Before and after images of our L300’s rear door. Storing bike gear con be a pain, particularly finding a place to keep helmets organized in small spaces. After realizing that having gear accessible highly increases the chances of using them, we invested over a week making this bike gear storage. We are in the process of writing blogs explaining how we did it and what we used. And we could use your help! We opened a Patreon Page to support content creation for our builds. And we will appreciate your support.

The ever evolving storage system of the #SlackerVan How do we store all the toys and have enough space to "live" in a 66 sqft box? LAYERS The initial build utilized aluminum bars, but this created a lot of dead space. After one month, we redesigned everything with plywood and routed out channels in the wood to create slide drawers; this removed the need for heavy and space-consuming metal sliders. The main trick was to create the storage to fit the items that we had and those items we knew were in our near future. Each box was created to fit them perfectly. This helps us keep the van organized and discourages us from buying more stuff! 'cause it won't fit anywhere! One of the secrets to happy #vanlife is to make sure that everything has a dedicated space. If not our entire van would become as messy as everyone's 'stuff' drawer. Everything has a place, find it there, put it there after each use. So far, with 10 years (and counting) of living together in a tiny space, we believe this one rule has kept us safe, happy and in love with our nomad home and each other. 😂 (at Minneapolis, Minnesota) https://www.instagram.com/p/CYpebwluy47/?utm_medium=tumblr

I wan't sure what to write... how is this instead? 🎶 I've been everywhere. I've been everywhere. Crossed the desert's bare. I've breathed the mountain air. Of travel I've had my share. I've been everywhere. Raquel and I've been to: All 50 states 9 out of 10 Canadian Provinces And 21 countries together! Hoping this year we make it to new places. 🚙 ✈️ ⛵ And one day we can honestly sing Johnny Cash's lyrics with full honesty. #SlackerVan https://www.instagram.com/p/CYjv7Asu8jG/?utm_medium=tumblr

Acro and adventure racing. Flip sides of the same coin. Both acro and team based expedition racing are all about succeeding (or failing) together. Co-creating that amazing pose or podium finish takes trust and teamwork. Surviving that fall or failure takes communication, love and humility. And for both, there are countless hours of training and commitment with our partners that shape our lives - regardless of how things look on social media. Bravo to that.⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #SlackersOnAmazon⁠ #ExtremeLivingWithAwareness ⁠ #TeamBendRacing⁠ #BendRacing⁠ #EcoChallenge⁠ #Adventure #Race #Tri #primal #quest #TeamYogaSlackers #Slackline #AR #TeamBendRacing #BendRacing #EcoChallenge #AdventureRace #SlackersOnAmazon #ecochallengeFiji2019 #AmazonPrimeVideo #adventurejunkie #WorldsToughestRace #Fiji #Bend #BendOregon #OR⁠ (at Te Anau, New Zealand) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEFCC94D9Jt/?igshid=1rmlrrc89cbtd

Do you fall Gracefully? @amyacrolove sure does:)⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #EpicFallFriday⁠ Yep. From now on until we run out of falling pictures we are going to celebrate our efforts by posting epic falls every Friday. ⁠ ⁠ Why? ⁠ Because, falling is part of our practice! Celebrating how we learned, the attempts and our efforts getting into a pose is as important - probably even more important - than attaining the skill itself. ⁠ ⁠ Send us your #EpicFallFriday posts! ⁠ We want to see your learning process too. ⁠ ⁠ #YogaSlackers ⁠ #SlackMore #FallMore #CelebrateTheProcess #SlacklineYoga #Slacklining #Slacker #Faller #SlackLife #SlackLove #Slackline #Waterline⁠ ⁠ Photo by @a4gpa the epicly talented Eric Ward (at Chiang Mai, Thailand) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_5WSNfAG6v/?igshid=12mej79x6cn1

Raquel had the great idea to navigate based on temperature. We found a 60 degree marker on the map and even though it was 3 hours out of the way... it was well worth it. We were able to pack for our 6 month trip overseas in a beautiful and comfortable space. The alternative was 120 degree parking lot in Vegas :)⁠ ⁠ 4x4 Has allowed us to get out and away from the crowds. We found this peaceful place trying to escape the 120 degree Las Vegas nights.⁠ ⁠ tip: Use 4x4 to get out of trouble not into it :) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_0TI_sBeQy/?igshid=fy388rr7hxzf
