Out ThereWhen we took off from IN almost 6 months ago, our intent was to explore North America and get back into all of the outdoor activities we missed out on while we were building the van. We wanted to see which regions we loved, and which ones we could visit but check off our list. We wanted to have new experiences and just enjoy our lives more fully.
Now that we've been on the road for a while, we cant believe how quickly time is flying by! We especially noticed how fast our daily pace is when we had to compare it to how other travelers went about their days. We spent a week with Julie's parents in Wyoming, and then another two weeks traveling with out friend Brian and some of his friends, all of whom are in their 50's and 60's. We started to realize that there were a ton of differences between how Brian strolled about his day vs how we raced through ours.
And because were content creators, that gave us an idea. One 12 hour day, Brian VS us. A retired and financially stable guy in his 60's VS struggling kids in their 30's trying to "make it". We gave Brian a GoPro and sent him off.
Playing back the footage and comparing our days hour by hour was pretty shocking. Watch and decide for yourself, who does it better?

If you watched our last video then you know that Ben and I have had a bet to settle. A bet which started with a kickflip challenge, and ended with me getting a brand new tattoo. From Ben, who’s never tattooed in his life, and rarely sits down to sketch anything, ever.
So here it is, the resolution to our competition, the finale to our epic challenge, THE TATTOO. I designed it myself, in the spitting image of Reli, my beloved scruffy dirtball terrier mutt, riding the skateboard we share. PS, he can't do a kickflip yet either.
I did all the research I could on learning how to tattoo at home, ordered the best budget beginner supplies I could get my hands on (it’s a real balance between quality and the depth of your pockets), and began attempting to teach Ben. In about three days.
I used stencil transfer paper to turn my design sketches into a real tattoo stencil, and Ben practiced his techniques on bananas and fake skin replacement slabs. After hours and hours of stress and building torment, I decided it was time to put Ben’s new skills, or lack thereof, to the real test. The real tattoo test. It was time to do the actual tattoo on my leg.
Watch the full video to find out how he did, and if he’ll ever try it again! If you have any questions about any of the supplies/equipment we used for tattooing drop us a comment or check out the links below.
Also keep in mind, tattooing is a real art that takes years of practice under the supervision and guidance of an experienced tattoo artist via an apprenticeship. Ben and I consulted a professional tattoo artist before embarking on this journey and while we do think learning how to tattoo on your own can be a fun and new challenge, please remember there are serious health and sanitation factors to consider.
Do your research (A LOT OF RESEARCH) before attempting to tattoo yourself or anyone you know.

You can get a hold of us at reachusoutthere@gmail.com with any questions or just to say hey!Fingerboarding vs. Skateboarding | Learning a KickflipOut There2023-11-19 | Ben’s been skateboarding since he was 8 years old. He loves it and honestly, he’s pretty good. He also used to have a Tech Deck fingerboard when he was younger, but he never really got into it. It’s been decades since his fingers gripped a board.
Julie learned how to skateboard about a year and a half ago. Six months into working on her balance and just barely executing an ollie, she face planted off her board and fractured her skull, causing a brain bleed and taking her out of the game for months. She hasnt really been back on a board since, and she has a lot of PTSD to overcome.
This week, we pit Ben’s beginner fingers against Julie’s beginner feet, in the ULTIMATE KICKFLIP CHALLENGE. We’re giving our contestants 3 days to practice and master a kickflip, Ben on a fingerboard and Julie on her skateboard.
Whichever contestant successfully executes a kickflip first will be crowned THE BIG WINNER. The loser will receive one tattoo from the winner, as punishment for their failure.
Oh yeah, and neither contestant knows how to tattoo. The stakes are high, the challenge difficult, and the punishment for failure severe and permanent. WHO. WILL. BE. CROWNED?!

In the spirit of Halloween, we decided to venture off the beaten path for this adventure and into a cemetery. A pioneer cemetery, from the 1800’s, in a ghost mining town, in the dark, in the desert, alone. Just the three of us alone, and well hopefully some other spirits. So maybe not totally alone.
We are not professional paranormal investigators, just struggling entertainers, and this is our first ghost hunting experience. So please, JUDGE US ENDLESSLY, as we know you will.
In preparation for our ghostly rendezvous, we did some research and discovered that Silver Reef, UT was a booming silver mining town in the late 1800’s complete with dozens of saloons and gamblers. As with any mining town, deaths were frequent and not out of the ordinary between drunken brawls and shoot outs, mine collapses, and of course rampaging diseases like tuberculosis. Some visitors to the cemetery have reported hearing disembodied voices, children laughing, unexplained footsteps, and even sightings of a young girl’s apparition.
We brought along plenty of cameras, audio recording devices, and other supplies in an attempt to communicate with any present ghosts in the Silver Reef Catholic Pioneer Cemetery outside of Leeds, Utah.
These are our genuine experiences from the events that took place that day and later on that night. Enjoy! Or dont…either way, just watch it.

Check out the full video on our page, where we hike deep into the Oregon backcountry of Mt Hood in search of a real life Sasquatch. What we find...you wont believe!
We’ve been traveling around the Pacific Northwest for weeks now, and before we left Oregon state there was one thing we HAD to do. Journey deep into the wild Oregon forests surrounding Mt. Hood in search of a mythical, ancient, or even extraterrestrial creature: Sasquatch.
Ben and I have always been enthralled with other-worldly creatures, alien, cryptid, or unknown species. So while we were in the pacific northwest, a well-known Bigfoot hotspot for encounters and sightings, we decided to do a bit of research and head out on our own expedition, in search of the great Ape, or at least evidence of its existence.
We didnt have high expectations, and we’re not professionals, but our encounters while out in the woods have converted us to full believers! And plus, we got to spend a lot of time with one of Ben’s close friends, Thad.
Thad is a Bigfoot expert who also travels in his truck and camper. He agreed to meet up with us outside of Mt Hood for this adventure, and lent us a hand in our quest.
If you’re interested in going on your own Bigfoot adventure, do some research before you head out and keep a few things in mind.
1. Know the area. Don’t trespass on private land and bring the appropriate gear for the terrain. Check for other Bigfoot sightings reported in that area, and what other species of wildlife could be there
2. Watch the weather. Especially around mountain areas, weather can change unexpectedly and dramatically
3. Never go alone. It’s never a great idea to venture into the woods by yourself, even if you arent looking for a giant ape man
4. Get to know Bigfoot. Research the proper equipment, strategies for calling and observing, and recording a possible Sassy encounter
5. Enjoy the great outdoors! Leave no trace and be respectful of the land and any creatures who inhabit it

For the last few weeks we’ve been traveling down the west coast of Washington state, and if there’s one thing we’ve learned so far from this trip it’s that the Pacific Northwest has some of the best oysters in the country! Or so the locals claim...
And because Ben and I like to make every experience into a gruesome and exhausting challenge, we decided not just to try the local oysters, but to hunt them down ourselves and host a good ol’ fashion catch and cook. Because we like the idea of working hard for our food.
Back in Colorado we grew our own vegetables in our garden and maintained a successful compost pile, buttt weve never provided our own meats. Ben doesnt really have the stomach to kill a deer or a bird, or even a fish, and I dont even eat meat!
So for this adventure we set out to kill two proverbial birds with one stone: enjoy trying a Washington delicacy, and be able to source, kill, and cook our own food.
Watch the video to find out if we managed to make it a success, or if all went up in flames…

We finally got Ben on a surfboard on the west coast, a moment Ben’s been waiting years for. This surf trip was the amalgamation of a lot of hard work, money saving, and detailed planning finally coming to fruition. And then it was all of those plans blowing up in our faces at the last minute and us scrambling to piece something new together from the rubble!
From bad weather and tiny waves to my massive fear of the ocean and trying to learn how to surf, this adventure was one for the books. We got to see the underground surf community of Port Angeles, got a little taste of the stoke, and even snuck in an unexpectedly large amount of personal growth, mixed with a lot of salt water to the face.
If you’re ever in the area and want to do some surfing of your own, you can always visit the local surf shop North by Northwest, or give Al a call for some surf lessons, if you can find him. He doesnt really want to be promoted or found, so the challenge is yours!
One of the most important rules in surfing that Al told us was just to be respectful. Respectful to other surfers, to the locals in the area, to the beach and the waves…Always leave the beach cleaner than you found it. Aloha

Aboard the ferry, our van made it all the way from Washington to Vancouver Island in the beautiful British Columbia.
But like most beautiful destinations around the world, expenses are high and our pockets are...shallow. So we had to get a bit creative with our activities and sightseeing on the island. One of the most expensive and highly desired travel destinations on the island: TOFINO. Surf capital of Canada!!
Join us as we attempt to explore Tofino beaches, old growth forests, and lively downtown area without giving up the rest of our bank account.

Well, maybe it's more like the story of us, Ben and Julie, and our two unruly dogs, Rocky and Reli. Actually, it's more like the story of what we hope to be? No, that's still not right. The story of what's to come?! Maybe we actually still dont really know what this is yet...
Until then, we're just a pair of broke travelers, chasing new experiences in new places. Just a few mutts searching for purpose and fulfillment before we kick the can. A couple of starving artists probing for creativity and color in a gray modern society. Really we're just two kids who don't wanna grow up, trying not to kill each other in the 70sqft van we call home.
Will this channel be unique? Exceptional? Inspirational? Probably not. I guess there's only one way to find out...
