ok @adetorrent Just want to say thanks for the last few days of my life watching the Wild We Roam back catalog sucked me in like I never thought it would. Granted I jumped in half way through at the van project but something about it made it compulsive viewing even though as a mechanic, electrician and IT bod I was cringing so much and screaming at the screen "No no no! That's not how you should do it!" But I can forgive Dana and Lou for that because there was such a sense of unbounded enthusiasm that can only come from naivety it hard not to get swept along with their dream.
So I have been watching them all and wistfully reminding myself of younger passions and actually ending up caring how things turned out and how it all progressed. For sure travel broaden the mind and as Lou pointed out in one of the last videos travelling slowing from place to place allows you to soak up much more than if all you do it see the inside of airports or hotel rooms.
So thanks once again and really last few days I have smiled and laughed more times than I can remember.
Aren't they wonderful? I always look forward to their next video. I'm not sure if those videos are still public, but they made some unbelievable stuff years ago when they visited Peru. I was hooked since back then... and watched them transition into the van in real time - from looking for the van to purchasing it.. to "fixing" it up haha.
Hahaha. I can just imagine.
Quite.. well I could have told them that screwing directly into the body with neither under seal or plastic inserts is going to end in trouble. But hey.. it is their van so who am I to chastise.
But yeah.. I found them eminently personable and well like I said just takes me back to when I was open to my own imagination and endless possibilities...
