The Temple

Read more This years winter split-boarding short of a pilgrimage to the kootenays exploring new huts and peaks deep in the Selkirk range. We wrapped the three week roadtrip up at a freshly built octagon cabin called the Temple tucked away under Mt. Brennan near Kaslo. Incredible lines, meters of fresh snow and beautiful humans around every bend, definitely the best backcountry trip we could ask for, thank you mountains!

Full Moonshine

Read more Full Moonshine (Full Music Video) Dream Fish Live at Green Haven Farm, Merville B.C. Campfire Medicine, November, 2023 This song was inspired by an epic Denman Island barn dance a decade ago at a local farm. I remember playing a rift I'd been working as we sat in golden fields watching the sun set as the psilocybin kicked in. It was my birthday and the night progressed into a wild night of bluegrass, stomp grass and old time tunes. There was a moonshine bar up in the hay loft and a full moon lunar eclipse to cap it off. Synchronistically it was also the first time I connected with the talented musician Amy Muloin who shares the same birthday as me and also wrote my fav song of hers "Living on my Last Dime" after that magical weekend. The name "Full Moonshine" blends the full moon energy and the shine that was running through everyones veins. I'm joined by the talented Tynan Caine on fiddle, Marty Mellway on Jembe, Jo Rupolo on Cajone, German Ocampo Salazar on Drums and Cricket on vocals.

The Best Things in Life are Free

Read more The Best Things in Life are Free (Full Music Video) Dream Fish Recorded Live at Manson's Landing Cortes Island, B.C. Another song, another mantra I sing to myself as a reminder that all the best things in life are always close at hand. Companionship, a glassy wave, a warm cup of tea, a cozy van. It doesn't take much to satisfy the deepest parts of ourselves. The material realm is incredible and necessary but it also comes with a burden and a cost. I find myself always walking that line between third and fifth dimensions, asking myself what brings the most value and meaning to my life each day? It's the endless human journey of holding and letting go physically and mentally. Trying to walk the middle path and figure out what freedom really means for each of us. I wrote this song over ten years ago after a epic surf trip up the north-west coast of Australia with a good friend R.B. Fisher. We off-roaded down desert roads and dunes in his landcruiser for weeks, surfing perfect points, sleeping on beaches and cooking freshly caught fish on the fire as skies burned red. Memories of simple times, campfire jams, and beautiful connections to this earth and it's people.

Man buys land by living in a school bus. This is most van lifers dream.

Read more Tali shows us around his amazing skoolie conversion made from a chevy 20 van. He has been living in it for 4 years and even traveled in it from Canada to Mexico. He used 90% reclaimed and recycled materials and used his artistic mind to build a truly unique piece of art that is also a home. He is now parked on his own property that he was able to get and live on because he had already built out the bus and can live there and take his time observing his property in a permaculture fashion on where is good to build something, where his garden should be etc. The bus itself has a cubic mini woodstove and a diesel heater, it has a kitchen with a propane stove top and a unique wooden bowl sink. It has a table made from a burl and filled with crystals, shells, sea glass, lights, and glow in the dark phosphorescence. On the roof of his Bus Tali built a deck from scrap live edge wood and made an aluminum frame that can support two hammocks. Personally this is one of the if not the most creative and inspiring build I have seen, and the only one that rivals it in creativity is the van from his friend Court that he mentioned which was the first van tour I ever filmed of someone else van. Here is the link for that. https://youtu.be/5_kJ10sfZLk If you enjoyed this video please share it with a friend, and hit subscribe because we release a new alternative dwelling tour every Sunday.

Free Spirit

Read more A little short pieced together from a few of the beautiful moments shared on Quadra Island during the Campfire Medicine Tour last fall. Spent the days road tripping, swimming in the sun, and cocreating intimate outdoor art and music shows with the local communities. This song was captured during our first set at the Clove Restaurant and features @martymellway (cajone), @tynancaine (fiddle), German Ocampo Salazar (drums) and Curtis Hunter (jembe). Big thanks to these brothas and to @jomelorolo for jumping on as roady/photographer and Curtis for building out the bus/setting the vibe. This song was inspired by the spiritual path and the freedom and love found beneath the false self/ego mind, as we collectively shed the layers and put down what we've been carrying. All the songs I've written over the years are positive affirmations to help me process and navigate life. A reminder and a mantra that is always there to heal and ground me through the dark and the light. Music is such a beautiful medicine and it's a gift to be sharing these stories and poems with the west coast. A place that has shaped and inspired me since birth.

Lost in the Desert

Read more Two Vancouver Island natives journey deep into Western Australia's barren northern coastlines, in search of perfect left points, ancient desert oases and a slower pace of life. Armed with a Toyota Land Cruiser packed full of boards and supplies, they road trip north, exploring the back roads from Kalbarri to Exmouth. Hidden amongst the endless points and bluffs, they discover a coast teaming with life, with reeling barrelling waves and endless beaches to camp on under the stars.

Van Tours San Diego

Read more Andrew Talbot is living his dream. The British Columbia native has been traveling for three months in his 1990 Chevy Van 30 Thomas School Bus, which he spent four and a half months building out. Renovation, customization, and building your dream are the themes that drive Talbot's journey. His story is the culmination of a few different dreams that he had, that all somehow came together as one. Six years ago, Talbot was feeling unsatisfied with his current situation and wanted a change, so he quit his traditional job and became a visual artist. Eventually, he bought a van with little aesthetic appeal and taught himself the ins and outs of maintenance and repair (all with the dream of driving down the entire west coast of North America). You can find Andi Talbot’s artwork at creaturesofthesun.com, and follow along his journey at @bodhibus.
