WHICH DIRECTION?We've sold the bus. Which direction should we go next?Hola Amiguis,
Season one has come full circle and we couldn't be more humbled that you've chosen to spend the last 10 weeks on us. "Which Direction?" was born out of our own innate desire to try to evaluate our next movements before taking them. We've sold the bus and we're a few months into our van build, but the question still looms overhead, which direction next?

What about resolving disagreements...?Hola Amiguis,
This week we touch on a topic that we've been asked about time and time again. Something we're told would be "impossible" to do from so many people we know. How in the hell do we survive being around one another all day, everyday, in such a small space? Where do you go when you're mad at each other?
Chase would say, if I'm mad, the easiest remedy is to ask if I want to smell his feet... dingus.
