Exploring Hogsback, South Africa // The Inspiration for Middle Earth? - S06E02  @Rehabit8
Uploaded October 2023 | Updated September 2026, 1 week ago
We have ditched the bus to visit family in South Africa and this week we are taking you along with us on a mountain weekend getaway to the magic town of Hogsback. We will do some exploring and adventuring and try to answer the question: Is Hogsback the inspiration for J. R. R. Tolkien The Lord of the Rings?

In our quest for seeking out a more healthy and sustainable lifestyle, we made a plan that includes zero waste living, tiny home living and full-time travel. We considered buying an RV, looked at trailers and airstreams but settled on doing a bus conversion for our off-the-grid, tiny house on wheels. We bought a 1996 MCI 102 D3 coach bus and with the Bus Demolition and Interior Shell complete, we turned it into our Tiny Home on Wheels and are now traveling!
