Bonus:
The CEO of our company has a Vanagon and two LT's. We became good friends through the Samba and caravaned from TN to the tip of the Baja Peninsula.

I wish I had the Garages and the lifts and machine shop equipment y'all have. *THEN* I would wish I had the skills to use them all well. Until then, I can just pretend that I do

I've got the boring life story here:
Get an environmental science degree, become a professional sail boat racer, end up as a yacht captain, leave it all to be a tour guide, and end up as blacksmithing instructor.
I stumbled upon something cool, and now I get to spend all my time teaching people to make stuff! I've got my own small business teaching blacksmithing, welding courses, knife making, and a really unique "Make your own ring" program where people fly here from all over the country and all over the world to spend a day forging, machining, and crafting a unique wedding ring thats truly their own.
www.TheBarefootforge.Com
www.Youtube.com/TheBarefootforge (Mostly vanagon content)
Somehow I got involved in Youtube as well, and I'm a content creator for a few big channels as well as my own.
I also maintain a weird fleet of vanagons, and work as hard as possible to keep a local community alive and thriving!

When I finally get old and am sitting in my wheelchair with my friend Jeremy, against the wall in the hallway, we will both deaf as coots and drooling on our ties--jackets and ties are required dress. He leans over to me and shouts: "DUNCAN, WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO BE WHEN YOU GROW UP?"
