EP321 | Jack Mac: Wanderlust by any Wheels Necessary

And I think to take that one step further as well, and I think we spoke about this yesterday, I think that if you have too fancy gear and stuff on the road, it does own you a little bit.

Mm-hmm.

Because I love nice cameras.

I really like Leica stuff.

I had for a period I had a very cheap Mitsubishi Delica, and what that really taught me was that I could just leave it anywhere and not worry.

Mm-hmm.

And so I was more focused on the experiences.

But when you have all these fancy cameras, you've gotta drag them around with you and stuff as well, because most places are great, but the more valuables you have on you, the more you have to think about that.

Mm-hmm.

I think it was Christian, sorry to pronounce his name, Pelletier.

Pelletier.

Pelletier.

Yeah, he was on the podcast, and he said something about, you know, you should really only travel in the vehicle you can afford to lose, and I think that's super important because, yeah, you don't wanna have your life savings necessarily tied into the vehicle because I think it makes you less ambitious-

That's something that I think has been important to me.

And he really lived it too.

He actually...

He bought a used limousine in Las Vegas-

Yeah, that's so good

... and shipped it to Africa [laughs]

[laughs]

And drove it all the way to Timbuktu.
