When we arrived in Iceland we were at the tail end of what was basically a two year working holiday, we were conscious of our waning funds, and the fact that we still had a lengthy jaunt around the US planned before heading ‘home’ to Australia. In other words we were travelling on the cheap. 

The thing is, there are some things you just shouldn’t skimp on, one of those things is a sleeping bag...in Iceland. We had picked up an old single bag from a thrift store in the UK and figured that it would be sufficient - how wrong we were. We had hired a small camper van and would prepare for sleep each night by donning every item of warm clothing possible, and precariously placing the remainder of our clothes on top of us, before finally draping the thin sleeping bag on the very top. With every slight stir in the night our fragile sleeping cocoon would slide wayward, leaving us exposed to the freezing air until we were able to reestablish the elaborate arrangement of tee shirts, socks and underwear. 

Of all the memories I could call upon from Iceland and beyond, this little scene is one of which I am quite fond. It’ll come to me out of the blue while I’m washing-up or driving my car, vivid and new, and I’ll chuckle to myself. 

Isn’t it funny that it’s the little aberrations and detours that stick with us, that the stories we share over a nostalgic conversation are often tales of misadventure, or unexpected detours.

To be honest, we had hoped to have launched by now. However, due to unforeseen circumstances (more specifically, an incompetent supplier) www.ourlifeintransit.com will now launch in 2018. We have been delayed so many times now that I dare not mention a specific date. It’s been frustrating, but we're more excited than ever to release into the world the products we’ve worked so hard on.

Here are some images of our Camp Cap, constructed from durable 16oz waxed canvas.

Thanks for those who have been asking, and for your patience. Good things come to those who wait...

We’ll be doing some epic giveaways and competitions available to those on our mailing list. To get amongst it sign-up here.

When we're on the road, I always like to take a photo where we wake up. I love going through old images and reviving memories of campfire breakfasts and frosty sleeping bags.
