Hey there! We're Joe + Kalyn!

As online entrepreneurs, we thought, "why not work from home... on the road"? So in 2019, we bought and renovated a 2005 Jayco Designer Fifth Wheel, which took us to every state in the lower 48. But the economy hit our business especially hard after the 'vid, spurring us to pivot in new directions and try different strategies, including various RV work camping jobs!

Follow our full-time RV Life journey as we build back our bank accounts in order to fund the biggest RV trip of our lifetime—Alaska.

Love how you weave all that great info in-between your hiking adventure content. I’m 62 and wish I could have done what you’re doing when I was your age. Please keep on vlogging, I’m a fan for life!

Worked 3 12 hour shifts this week and was looking forward to your Friday video when I got home. Did not disappoint! Y’all have worked your way to the top of our “Can’t wait for the next video” list! Thanks for all you share.

I have been camp hosting at State Parks for the last five years of the 6 1/2 I’ve been full-time. I really enjoy it. It’s a volunteer position with a site with full hook ups and I pretty much have stayed the last three summers in Tennessee, which was where I lived for 50 years. Thanks for doing the video. It was great information. I’m sure it will help a lot of people.❤

Love your guys videos. There is one thing I noticed you were doing and I would feel really bad if something would happen and I didn't say anything. When walking or hiking on uneven ground, never ever, ever walk with your hands in your pockets. If you were to ever trip, you wouldn't have time to get your hands out of your pockets in time to stop you from face planting into the ground. I have see it too many times. Later and all the best.

Hi Joe and Kalyn. My husband found your Youtube channel yesterday (3/12/24) and we have been binge watching every since. We love your approach to making videos and are learning what we would like to incorporate into our own (coming soon) Youtube Channel. We love how you interact with one another and keep the videos light and fun. Mostly, we appreciate that you are authentic and real. The best part of Youtube is feeling like to get to know people when they share who they are. Thanks for being real. God Bless you both!

I’m so glad you guys gave Trinity
A home!!! great job

Either you captured a UFO in the background or Joe was flying his drone while you were filming in the RV at 23:27 in the video. Boys will be boys!!! LOL

[LiveYourSomedayNow]

Great info!
But my favorite part...our family's favorite muppet song....mmm-nom-mi-na or however you spell that.

I’m new to your channel. I like it, it’s fun! You are going to Alaska for the summer. You can make decent money if you work in a cruise ship port area in a jewelry store as a salesperson. They need people in those stores, a lot of money gets spent and there are people who go there for seasonal work only for those jobs. Just wanted to throw that idea out to you guys.

The nice thing about it in this world….if you desire work, work is always out there….just gotta be humble and do what it takes.

Be sure to understand some jobs are dangerous to your health. Fracking jobs have bad air and water. I lived on a ranch less than a 1/4 mile from a fracking pad. So I lived in the zone of some of the issues. I since then I have moved into the center of town. My breathing and kidney issues have greatly improved.

Gate guarding is not for everyone, but the more gigs you try, the better you get on knowing which works for you best. We eventually found a permanent yard gate that we take turns with another couple. We work 3 months on and 3 months off in a guard shack with our motor home in a nearby park. Our gate is a heavy traffic gate but it’s predictable and has some very slow times allowing us to pursue our hobbies while in the shack. Hubby plays guitar and I love to sew and quilt. We’ve also done the “fun” seasonal jobs and hubby did the sugar beet harvest last year in Michigan, which was sadly poorly managed. Our schedule with the gate guarding now will allow us to live comfortably working only 6 months a year, but if we want to plan something extra or save more money we can take on additional jobs. Part of the work camping experience is to discover what works for you and because most are short term, it allows you to make better informed choices moving forward. So many things to do and places to see. We love our work camping life.

There are also gig jobs, that let you travel while working. Such as DoorDash, where you can drive to different counties and states to do delivery work. An example of that would be say Dashing in say Austin for a week or month, then driving up to Dallas or Oklahoma City to Dash up there till you are ready to move to another location. Those jobs have the benefit of letting you set your own hours.

Devil's Hall trail has gorgeous red colors in the fall. ❤

A ton of blue collar jobs travel too, I know it’s a different type of work camping and it’s own category but it’s always an option. Also if any blue collar workers see this…I’ve worked with my husband (welder) as his helper/fire watch and DO IT if you can! We are already there and the pay can be anywhere from $18 an hour to $20 and hour plus perdeim plus travel! Granted you’re working 72hrs a week and it can range to around a month then move on to the next one. I was scared to do it but it’s totally worth it if you get the chance!!

Love your videos. Good luck on your journey toAlaska. We have been there twice. We flew up and rented a camper both times. Both were 3 weeks each. Look forward to seeing the places you guys will visit and all the sights and wildlife!!!

[mikeweis]

What a creative way to give out so much good information on work camping. So many ideas! And the hike, so pretty. You truly made it an EPIC video. I’m anxious to see your adventures in Big Bend. 😉

[thewanderingshores]

Another example of why you guys are amazing. What a great review of all the options. Joe I can tell why you are spending so much time editing, you are a pro. Not to mention the number of clips you record for each video is probably more than we have recorded in three years on the road. 8)

Saw that post for Chicken, Alaska today. If we were ready to take off, that is one we would apply for ASAP.

Love when you make work camping videos! I cant seem to find current ones. Wow what a freezing hike! It was pretty! Thanks for the video!
