Roaddude.com going live. . .

by Road

I’ve had the domain roaddude.com for several years.

I made a few posts about things like installing a roof vent in my van and wrote a few pieces about places I’d been and posted some images of favorite places, but just never did much with the site on a regular basis. It lay fallow for years. I wasn’t really happy with the design or layout, and being a fussy guy about design and things visual, kept putting off shaping up the site to my satisfaction.

I’m getting more requests now, as I wander around the country, to write about and review products I use and to share my experiences in general, so am finally getting around to getting my site going in a more proper way. I found a nice theme that allows for a blog and galleries in a style that better fits my design sensibilities. It should be much easier to update now on a regular basis, as well. Let me know what you think.

Everywhere I go people have questions about how I do things or about how I put my traveling rig together. I’m happy to share what I’ve learned over the years and hope to provide a place where folks can come and learn a more about how to do some of these things themselves.

Stay tuned for posts and updates about setting up vans for the road, honest reviews about the gear I use, stories about places I visit, interviews and profiles on interesting people I meet, and how-to pieces on everything from setting up a extended basecamps with off-grid power solutions to preparing healthy meals on the road.

Have something in particular you’d like to know more about? Would you like to meet up and/or come camp when I’m in your part of the world?

On the Road in America

THE BIG PAUSE of 2020-21

ROADDUDE.COM is usually about one man’s travels and photography around North America.

During The Big Pause of 2020-21, however, it is about making quality cloth & fabric face masks and face coverings for the public. Every mask purchased enables more to be made for donation.

I have made, sold, and donated thousands, as far away as Sudan.

Stay safe, stay clean, stay healthy!

Thank you for your orders and support!


Kudos from Customers for Face Masks I make, sell, and donate throughout the pandemic:

“We really love them. The quality is amazing and they are comfortable. Will be great for hiking and work.” ~ Beckie G, SW Harbor

“Both my husband and I love the masks. Fit very well and stay in place when talking.” ~ Susan W, Livermore Falls
