This is a very long post that uses the lens of my rules to give some kind of explanation of myself as a nomad. My first 30 rules were created during my initial time traveling in a Subaru Outback, and I have since added more. Although I stepped into the city life to finish a degree, I am heading back out again in some capacity, primarily starting in a Subaru Crosstrek in a monthly kind of setup. This post is one mostly written entirely for myself, and it is somewhat vulnerable to even share it publicly. Know that reading this is a violence to me, though lesser than I did to myself writing it; I consent to and welcome your partaking, but be aware of the pain of your own reflection in it.
Note: open and direct talk of trauma, suicide, addiction, dissociation, queer, death, grief, genocide, etc.

Updated Living Setup
I updated the Living Setup page on the blog! Check it out for details on how I live this lifestyle, living full time out of a Subaru Outback.
Comprehensive Update on Car Setup
A lot has changed since I went into details about the setup inside of my car on my blog, so I wanted to go ahead and provide a comprehensive update, describing how everything is these days!
Big Updates, and Piedras Grandes Mountain
I realize that I have not update my blog in a while! Well, after hanging out with some amazing folks outside of Borrego Springs, I eventually found my way back to the Carrizo Badlands Overlook. It’s an amazing spot that I just can’t get over! Besides, I have more hiking to do here!
Today, I even set out on a 10.5 mile hike in the Jacumba mountains. I had a lot in mind to see and conquer, and I was excited about it. However, as it turns out, I only conquered one mountain today. The rest will have to wait!
Setup Inside of the car
There’s some common questions I get asked about everything that I have in my car, from the solar panel setup to details about the specific things I carry. How do I make it all work? How much did it all cost? What do I even actually have in there? I spent a good amount of time considering this before taking the plunge, so I think it would be appropriate to address some of these.
