A Day in the Life of Full-Time Adventurers By Anthony James Orona It's the first day of August 2016. Jonathan 'Yeti' Norvell and Holly 'Yolo' Freeman launch into southern California's Anza-Borrego Desert in a Jeep called 'The Yeti,' embarking on a month-long cross-country trip. Their ultimate destination: Grinnell, Iowa. Otherwise, they have no fixed plans.

The instruction manual advised to fire a minimum of 200 rounds to ensure positive functioning before “depending” on it as a carry gun.

The route they follow and the places they stop to explore will be decided by engaging locals they meet along the way and getting ideas from them. Their lifestyle is something that others have dubbed 'freestyle adventure.' They prefer to call themselves 'full-time adventurers.' Morning Mood It's no longer dark when Yeti Norvell opens the flap of his tent.

Thick rays of early sunlight jet across the plain, making it easy to climb down the ladder from the elevated Tepui tent and find breakfast. Yeti kindles a fire, grabs red sausage links from the cooler, and lays them into a frying pan, setting the pan above the flames. When the fire crackles, he adds onions and then bell peppers to the popping mixture. The smell of chorizo warms the camp. Thoughtfully cleaning his.22 rifle, Yeti faces east and smiles. A silhouette of a woman leans over. She touches her toes and then stretches above — steady, still, determined.

The sight reminds him of the first time he saw Yolo. One Sunday four years earlier, he logged onto Instagram and immediately spotted a post from Yolo. He had seen the magnetic blonde on the social media platform before, but the photo she had posted that evening left him shaking his head. What chick stands on the top of her Jeep clutching a Browning Silver shotgun? Was she shooting dove? Principles Of Environmental Engineering & Science Pdf.

Then he waited. Camp Life After breakfast, Yolo takes inventory of the food in the ice cooler. The cooler can store about eight weeks of perishable provisions, and it's been about eight weeks since their last stop. However, Yeti and Yolo could travel for another two weeks and be OK.

The trick to living out of a Jeep, even a rig as well-equipped as The Yeti and its accompanying trailer, is stretching perishables by matching them with dry goods. Yolo glances at Yeti; inside the small Snomaster in the console, Yolo removes two water bottles full of eggs. Yeti shrugs, 'Tomorrow's breakfast.'

Breaking down camp for the partners is not what it is for most weekend campers. They have it down to a science. Starting with Yeti's cooking gear, the two systematically dismantle what looked like a fort the night before in less than an hour. They fold the heavy-duty tarp into a tight package and move the gear it was shielding into the trailer designed for the sole purpose of overlanding. With everything stored away in the vehicles, the two hop in The Yeti and rev the engine.

Their destination by this evening? Brownells Headquarters in Grinnell, Iowa. The rest of the day?

Free to explore whatever opportunities the road ahead offers. Miles To Go As the Jeep devours every bump on the road, Yeti thinks of the first conversations he and Yolo shared over Instagram. After messaging each other back and forth for days, Yeti called, and the two shared ideas that still burn in his memory — heady, intoxicating conversations that stole away sleep.

He remembers the thrill of anticipation as he waited until each evening, when both were free to converse. They would dream. Make hypothetical plans, and then dream some more. It lasted for more than a year.

They both lived in California. He was in San Diego, loosely involved in an auto restoration business. She was in Fresno, no longer challenged by her job as the marketing director of a beverage company. They had built for themselves predictable lives that moved to the comfortable thrum of a middle-class existence. It was convenient. It had also become a kind of trap, robbing life's journey of its twists and turns, of waking up in the morning not knowing exactly where the day will take you. One day Yeti steered their conversation in a new direction.

Knowing that Yolo took off most weekends to hunt, kayak, or run marathons, he asked, 'What if we do it together? What if we meet in person? What if we actually pursue the dreams we talk about?' He didn't ask with hesitation.
