This channel is about living life to the fullest as the Powell family chases adventure on land and sea. After leaving my career as a firefighter and selling almost everything we owned, we set out to build a life centered on freedom, travel, and meaningful experiences. We build our own off-grid adventure vehicles, overland rigs, and a 60-foot research-vessel-turned-trawler to explore coastlines, islands, and remote trails around the world. Additionally, the Powell's founded Outsiders Media, a multi-million dollar marketing agency that serves the outdoor community and invented the FastCap, an innovative upgrade for your vehicles fuel cap.

Here you’ll find outdoor adventure, overlanding, boating, DIY builds, family travel, fishing, diving, and unique experiences—alongside the entrepreneurial journey that makes it all possible. I share real lessons in discipline, personal growth, and designing a life on your own terms. If living boldly calls to you, welcome aboard. Don't Forget To Live!

How it started vs. how it’s going 😮‍💨😆 This was NOT the plan. The people who sold us this boat are kind folks who never intended to screw anyone over.. but damn there was a lot of hidden rot on this boat.. what started as a weekend project to fix a soft spot in the deck quickly turned into an 8 month long scramble to rebuild 1/4th of the boat before it gets smashed by another hurricane. I’ve learned a lot in the process and had to double back over a lot of my work to fix mistakes but she’s finally looking like a boat again.

It’s hard to believe I’m giving up this view 😮‍💨 This is my backyard, literally. It’s gorgeous, but I think we settled down a little too young, we aren’t ready to lay roots down forever and we can’t get over this constant itch at the back of our minds that there are higher levels to reach, new places to explore and better environments to thrive in. We have worked so hard to become free, and now the only thing holding us back, is our things… So I’m enjoying our last days few weeks in the valley before heading out on our next big adventure. Tomorrow morning I’m sharing a YouTube video discussing why we have decided to sell pretty much EVERYTHING! I know that most people won’t understand, they will caution us and tell us we are throwing our lives away and that we may never build a life this good again. But we will do it anyways, because we don’t want to live like them and because no one ever made it anywhere in life without risk and sacrifice.

Having a great time shooting some content with @moneypit4x4_wa . Jared is the master of re-gears and lockers, after 12 years of installing for NitroGear and Axle he has opened shop in the same location as the old Nitro building and continued to offer his awesome service. I highly recommend working with him on your next gearing project!

Do you think we could complete the Baja 1000 in the Tacoma now that it’s running @marlincrawler 3.5 RCLT long travel with @locked_offroad Coilovers, bypasses, air bumps and RCV axles!? I feel like we should try it…

My Tacoma has gone through many transformations in its lifetime but none of them have had quite an impact as this recent rebuild that we have been working on! For starters @walkerfablab built custom ultra high clearance light weight bumpers for the front and rear ( don't worry, that winch we used for fitment will be replaced soon). Then the truck made its way to @marlincrawler where they outfitted it with too many mods to list, some of them will actually blow your mind, you will have to wait for the episode on Youtube! ⁠
Then we added @lockedoffroad coil overs, bumps, and bypasses for a crazy smooth ride. But wait, there's more... we also added @relationracewheels beadlocks and @mickeythompsontire 38s! ⁠
The whole truck is insanely capable, I cant wait for you guys to see the video! #toyotatacoma #letsgoplaces #rclt #lockedoffroad #customfab

How many of you watched waaaay back when I tried the ancient art of falconry? I sure do miss Carol my Red Tailed Hawk. Falconry was a facinating sport but it didnt pair well with my sporatic lifestyle and passion for traveling.
