When you’re living the dispersed camping life, you have to roll with the punches—and sometimes those punches come from the logging crew.

In this episode, we share how our dream campsite near family got cut short when Idaho land managers asked us to pack up—fast. From soggy tear-downs to long drives and doggy mishaps, we cover the chaos, the stress, and the unexpected blessings that landed us back in one of our all-time favorite camp spots: Lightning Creek.

You’ll hear:

  • Why dispersed camping means embracing the unpredictable
  • The pros & cons of camping close to family vs. deep in nature
  • How we set up (and sometimes don’t set up) after a long day’s move
  • The magic of Idaho’s inland rainforest and why Lightning Creek keeps calling us back
  • Behind the scenes of working remotely on the road, launching a new website, and producing another podcast while traveling

We may be an hour from our son now, but we’ve got glacier-fed water, giant cedar trees, and nights falling asleep to the sound of the creek—and that’s a trade we’re happy to make.
