Five weeks have gone by without an update. Goodness. Sorry about that. So much has happened I’m going to just give a quick update of this last month and let you know where we are now.
According to our last update we had just put the back end back together and put on the new wheels! That was all fine and dandy until it rained and we had water coming in the back end. The back end of the 1972 is just a poor design. Glad they have fixed that issue in newer models.

Hi friends! Ashley and I are excited to share a new project we've been working on in our spare time.
After traveling for over a year we realized that there wasn't a great place for our fellow adventurers to find the gear they need - or products that they might want. Blog posts are great and full of wonderful information. But sometimes it helps to see everything together in one place.
So we set out to start a curated list of useful, cool and high quality products that lived in one shop. We call it the Nomadventure Shop (get it!?!).
We'll be adding new products on a regular basis, so make sure to sign up for the email list so we can let you know when we find cool new stuff.
And we'd love your feedback. Missing some products? Something not working right? Let us know!
In the meantime, we hope you'll share the Nomadventure Shop with your friends, family and fellow adventurers so we can compile all the great products we use into one place.
Go check it out!

Hello friends! Our buds over at Cotton Bureau are helping us raise a little money for this crazy Airstream renovation.
We send them a design and they print shirts and hoodies on demand. But it's only for a short amount of time! As I write this we only have 10 days left.
So if you want a sweet t-shirt or hoodie (they make great Christmas gifts, by the way) go grab one before November 29th.
Buy a BareNeckers shirt now!

Pardon me while I freak out for a bit! This has been a very exciting 2 weeks around here. I wish I could update the blog more often, but right now we are so busy with homeschool/work and full-time Airstream Renovation that I haven’t gotten nearly enough posts out. So, let me freak out a bit here and tell you what all has been happening...the short version!
Tomorrow marks 2 months that we have been here in Indiana. Honestly, I estimated two months to be done with it but we are pleased that as of yesterday we are almost completely done with the outside. Just a few more places to caulk and a few rivets to set and we’ll be checking to make sure it’s water tight.
So, let me back up a bit. You may recall, at the end of week 6 we were so excited to have everything mounted to the roof! I’m happy to report that it’s all still up there and almost everything is caulked. We just have a few more solar panel feet to secure.
We removed the last of the vinyl from all the interior panels and now we only have one long panel that needs the adhesive removed. Of course it had to be the most impossible panel to work with. We will get it soon, just a lot of extra work hours to be spent on it and right now we have more important things to do while the weather is so nice.

In Part 1 of our deep dive into why we sold our brand new 5th wheel RV and bought a really old Airstream that needed to be renovated, we talked about simplifying, learning to do our own repairs and cutting down on our length, height and weight so that we could boondock and camp off the grid more.
After a year on the road we realized we wanted even less of the mainstream camping experience - and more secluded and sustainable adventures.
Part 2 explores in detail the final reasons we decided to go down this path.
