We’re Jonathan & Ashley Longnecker. We love travel, food, nature, earthbags, homeschool, tattoos, adventure, living simply, and our 4 amazing kids!
Our traveling and boondocking adventures led us to buy 11 acres of raw, unfinished land in the high desert of SE Arizona. We're literally building our homestead from the ground up using natural and sustainable alternative techniques like earthbag, water catchment, solar power, and more.
After a year of full-time travel we sold our brand new 5th wheel, bought a 1972 Airstream Sovereign Land Yacht and completely renovated it for boondocking and off-road travel.
Grab a fun, comfy t-shirt & help support our family.
