Just ordered the Hele Box Solo for the ride! The sleeping platform is one of the biggest pieces of this setup, so I’m excited to finally have this part coming together. Can’t wait for it to get here. :) Ig: heleoutdoors #AvaUnbound #IKITAO

Looking at this for the rolling command center. It seems like there’s really nothing comparable. The ZERO BREEZE Mark 3 is one of the only realistic ways I’ve found to keep the car climate-controlled off battery power while I’m in the gym showering, shopping, or running errands with @Moxie in tow. It isn’t cheap (~$1,300, plus optional modular battery storage) and venting is necessary, but neither is constantly paying for pet boarding. Paired with the Bluetti setup, monitoring, and backup power, this could solve one of the biggest problems with making the ride work full-time. YT #IKITAO #AvasBuild

Speech is for the convenience of those who are hard of hearing; but there are many fine things which we cannot say if we have to shout. — Henry David Thoreau #IKITAO

Headed for the desert out west in a Corolla Cross with @Moxie, looking for a small piece of land and a place to set up home base and build from there. Equipping the ride for life on the road comes in around $3K—cot, power station, fridge, heat and cooling, and the basics to make it work. Less overhead. Fewer anchors. More mobility, resilience, and freedom to grow and build. No idea what the future brings. Stepping into the unknown is daunting, but this is the way forward. October is the deadline. One way or another, we go. For those who’ve followed my posts over the years, believe in the mission, and want to support the journey—zaps are welcome and deeply appreciated. — Ava #IKITAO
