Sharing a passion for small camper trailers with the world is the original intention behind Drew and his family creating the @Playing with Sticks account. Drew, May, East, and Rye have helped countless people better engage in camping life by sharing tips and tricks about camping trailers. Now, over 260,000 people follow this loving family on YouTube.
The Beginning of Falling in Love with mobile living
Drew and his wife May share a love for nature and the outdoors, but often, the cumbersome backpacking and trip preparation can become quite a burden. The change happened in an instant; it was when May saw a small camper trailer in a magazine that they knew they needed one. Since then, this family of four has found a second home. They pack their passion into this little house, escaping all the noise and getting closer to the land and nature.
Challenges Accompanied by Love
Life with a teardrop trailer requires overcoming many difficulties and learning many skills from scratch. This is not just Drew's job alone. The couple teaches these skills to the next generation while also passing on this lifestyle.
Beautiful Moments on the roads
For Drew, every place he has explored holds incomparable beauty. The glaciers of Alaska, the countryside of Wyoming, and the mountain times in Colorado are all equally precious in his memory. But for him, the most cherished memories are those moments during the journey when he can still enjoy meals with his family. Beside their small trailer, they set up a mobile kitchen, allowing them to have the warmth of home anywhere.
Meeting BougeRV
Drew first discovered BougeRV through other bloggers' channels and was moved by how BougeRV's products help people with limited incomes comfortably enjoy a mobile lifestyle. Drew purchased BougeRV's power station. This 300W power unit is so portable and easy to use that it quickly became the only power device the family needed. Paired with some solar panels, you can have unlimited energy. Afterward, Drew bought the CIGS solar panels, a powerful piece of equipment that provides energy in any weather, making outdoor living worry-free.
"Life is short, busy, and chaotic. You get out here for a week, even two days, and it is going to change your life! It will slow you down, and listen to the small things in life. It is going to give you a new appreciation for why we protect these beautiful lands," says Drew.
