I want to start a thread on the priorities today vs the priorities 50 years ago... when I was a teenager.
Remember when??? We rented a tent trailer and towed it behind a 2WD station wagon. Or all those extreme adventures we heard about which cost next to nothing?
Post adventures you remember before anyone was selling expensive water tanks, a kid could afford a tent, 4WD was unheard of, GoreTex was a luxury item.
I remember a magazine article from the 1980s about a BC family who built a catamaran, trailered it behind a station wagon to Florida and sent the year in the Bahamas. Complete with home schooling, on a teachers salary on sabatical leave. I cannot find it but they incurred no debt. AND never lost sight it was all about the kids education plus giving their kids a year of adventure. Why do we go in debt today to overland.
If you have other adventures to share please do. I intend to find this story.
