Hi there! I’m Alvin.

Welcome to my little corner of the outdoors! Having spent most of my childhood in the city, I never considered myself an outdoors kid, but some of my fondest memories include camping trips with my family and closest friends. Now, as a husband and father living in Colorado, escaping to the outdoors with my family is something I absolutely cherish.

In 2024, we decided to invest in Oung Bean, our trusty teardrop trailer. We are beyond excited to explore and create new memories together.

One of the most enjoyable aspects of camping (some might say frustrating) is streamlining gear to make trips more efficient over time. It is a process that involves constant trial and error, but with a little planning and creativity, the reward is less time packing/unpacking and more time appreciating the beautiful outdoors.

Whether it’s sharing my experiences on teardrop life, thoughts on gear & food, or personal organization tips, I hope I can be a source of help and inspiration for your next trip. So grab a cup of hot chocolate, cozy up, and happy exploring.

Cheers!
