With our recent trip to the Dry Tortugas, we knew we had to get a cooler of some sort. We didn’t want anything too big because we wouldn't be needing it often and we didn't have anywhere to store it. Soft sided cooler it is! Thankfully we found one of the best on the market from IceMule Coolers.
With a bit of research we purchased the 20 liter cooler in orange! We decided to try it out in the Keys before our trip to the Tortugas. We filled it with a bag of ice to see how long it would keep it cold.
We checked it 24 hours later and found that while most of the ice had melted, it was still freezing cold in the cooler. Since we knew we could buy more ice on the boat each day, the IceMule wouldn't have any trouble keeping our food cold.
Good News! None of our food went bad in the 2.5 days on the island. We did end up purchasing ice within 24 hours, but everything was still cold despite the 85-90 degree weather on the island.

You may have noticed things are starting to look a little different around here. After 8 months of transitioning our lives from living in a house and subdivision to traveling full time in our 5th wheel, we finally have the time and brain space to make BareNeckers a full-fledged brand.
Being a designer, the first thing I wanted to nail down was a proper logo. When we changed up our name last year from Last Night Ago to BareNeckers I threw together a simple logotype with our name in it. It was alright, but we always wanted some kind of graphic or badge that would be easily recognizable.

We found Sunshine Key RV Resort and Marina through an IG friend - I asked them if they would recommend it and they had lots of good things to say. Once I heard the words ‘heated saltwater pool’ I was sold. (I’m such a baby about cold water) We booked our stay for Dec 1 - Jan 4 (we needed a day to recover from our Dry Tortugas trip).
Upon arrival, we checked in, handed over A WHOLE BUNCH OF CASH, and we were given our site number and found that we didn’t have sewer hookups! Are you serious? Did you see the $$$$ I just gave you? The nice lady at the office said they had ONE site that we could switch to with full hookups and suggested we drive to both sites and see which one we would rather have. Well, that’s nice! We did that and the other site she suggested was smashed in between other RVs and the first site (the one without full hookups) was near the ‘beach’ but NO ONE was around us! Umm, yes, we will take the ‘private’ lot please! Luckily we had just bought a blue-boy not that long ago so it would come in handy! We opted for showers at the nearby bathhouse (which was very clean) since our gray tank was still broken. We did have the resort come pump our black tank each Saturday morning.
We set up and enjoyed the sunset from our little slice of heaven.

In December 2014, when Jonathan and I were in the beginning stages of trip planning, we knew we wanted to spend December in the Florida Keys. I mentioned it on Instagram and the lovely Jess Curren from Currently Wandering told me of their plans to visit the Keys in December, too! They were going to make a trip to the Dry Tortugas for a few nights of tent camping. I had no idea what a dry tortuga was, but a quick Google search and holy cow! We were sold! We bought our ferry tickets a couple days later and from that moment on looked forward to December 31, 2015. 2 nights of camping on a deserted island would be the best Christmas present/New Years celebration ever!
It was finally here! The week of our Dry Tortugas camping trip. It's been over a year since we tent camped and I was totally spacing on the necessities. Once we started getting all our gear together, it looked completely overwhelming. 6 people for 2 nights of dry camping requires a ton of gear. Jax was feeling overwhelmed as well.

We are spending the month of December in the Florida Keys and having the time of our lives. We were made to live at the beach. I mean, come on, have you seen our kids' hair?
