Personal Reflections

Hi folks, today I want to share a story about a freediving blackout on a deep dive. I want to share some thoughts about what I got the chance to reflect on after the event. I hope this letter speaks to a part of you that you didn’t expect. About 7 months ago I got into freediving. It’s where you learn how to dive deep into the ocean just holding your breath. Maybe you’ve heard of it before. It sounds kind of crazy but let me tell you more. It isn’t an adrenaline sport, it’s j

Hi folks, today I want to share some thoughts about home and what it means. I’ll share some of the different perspectives of the idea of home and what it means to me too. I’ve been living in a Kimbo camper for many months now, March to December. I’ve been able to make it sustainable by having a dehumidifier going consistently on low, by keeping it clean and organized, and by implementing new features like an over-the-bed fan and an air purifier and a mini radiator heater that

Hi folks, today I want to talk about the farmer and the hunter. I’ll share the two approaches of life and then I’ll share something encouraging for your week ahead. This isn’t a post about a camper, it’s a post about a philosophy of thought and I hope it gives you something interesting to consider this week. Before we knew how to farm, we knew how to hunt. The hunters goal is to find the opportunity, exert the energy, make the kill. A hunter puts in a ton of energy in a short

Hi Folks, today I want to talk about three people that you know, innovators, implementers, and maintainers. Then I want to to talk about the importance of each person within a business or community. I hope this weeks message gives you something interesting to think about, and possibly inspiring for understanding yourself and others a little better. There’s someone you know who has a lot of ideas. You are their confidante, sometimes involuntarily, and they tell you about their

Hi folks, this week I want to talk about growth and comfort. This is an extension of the last letter so please go read that one to see the progress of thought. Before I start I’ll just say that this isn’t about campers, but it is tied to what motivates us and what helps us navigate and become. I hope that this writing builds you up and gives you something to consider. The last blog and this one are based on adversity, perseverance, the development of character, values, purpos

Hi folks, this week I want to keep writing off of letter 9. It was about avoidance and perseverance. Please read that blog to catch up to this one; they’re all connected to each other. Before I start, I understand that this isn’t the kind of blog you’re looking for on this site. But under the surface, I want to compel you that these are so important; they’re the reasons why we’re motivated to grow and experience more in life. This camper is just the tool to meet the need and

Hi folks, this week I want to talk about perseverance and the development of character. Then I want to share a little-something of encouragement for your week ahead. The other week I went for a hike 2 days into the pacific crest trail. It was the first chance I’ve had to do it and I went for it. I’ve had a bulged disk in my back for about 5 years and I used to be at a 6/7 of pain every day. There’s something about chronic pain that’s indescribable unless you’ve had it. The di

Hi folks, this week I want to share something about RV’ing and the people you meet. It’s about taking our shields off and It was one of the reasons why I decided to build the Kimbo camper. And then I want to share something small but encouraging to help you through this week. If you’ve ever been boating on a lake you’ll see that 9 times out of 10 people will wave at each other. They almost never know the person that they’re waving at, but it’s become a norm to wave. If you’ve

Hi Folks, this week I want to congratulate the team at Kimbo who is currently building camper # 500. And then I want to say a few things to you that I hope encourage you this week ahead. A couple of days ago I walked into the shop to pick something up late at night. I see Kimbo 498 at the front of the line in the Fit and Finish section and then crane my neck to see the start of the line. The guys spray painted a “500” on a sign with all of the sub components laid out ready to

Hi folks, today I want to talk about “sitting in the quiet” and trust and recharge around others. We’re sitting at the edge of a wood slat deck. There’s a log cabin right behind us and a view straight ahead. We’re at a lake with a long lawn that stops at the end of the beginning of the view. It’s just the sound of the wings of bees and a few birds in the distance. I love log cabins. This one’s made of huge logs and has stood here for 30 years waiting for this family to arrive

Hi folks, today I want to just say some encouraging things. I don’t know who you are or where you’re at in life right now but I hope this kind of letter brightens your week. It seems like there are two types of chapters that life can go though; consistency and predictability or inconsistency and variability. They both can’t stand alone, one always needs a bit of the other. Some people find peace in the inconsistent and some in the predictable. Whatever type of person you are

Dear customers, today I want to talk about “wisdom is a balance” and what that means. I want to tie it to the production of this camper and then I want to say a few things that I hope make your day a little better. It’s so important to have a dream; It’s said that many of the marriages that survive the hard phases are the ones that still have a mutual dream in mind. That makes me think that just having one instills a type of stubborn perseverance into us that makes the target
