What people are saying

â€œI see the "how on Earth do you make this happen?" question in various groups all the time. I'd love to just get this guide out there in response!â€ - Heather "Anish" Anderson. 2019 National Geographic Adventurer of the Year, and author of Thirst: 2600 Miles to Home

â€œHave you read Rolf Potts' Vagabonding? It feels a bit like the American Vagabonding.â€ - Six2 - Pacific Crest and Appalachian Trail Alum.

â€œGosh I love your book! I'm trying to read it, but for some reason I can't stop crying!!! It resonates so much and I feel so emotional about it.â€ - Kathy Vaughan, Team UltraPedestrian and co-author of 98 Days of Wind: The Greatest Fail of Our Life

â€œYouâ€™re going to have to change the name if you want anyone to pick up your book who doesnâ€™t consider themselves a â€œdirtbag,â€ â€œtrash,â€ or a â€œbum.â€â€ - Random stranger on Facebook who is not impressed with the title.

Screw picket fences. Live your best life. Sleep in the dirt.

While a life of adventure has traditionally been reserved for the rich and the sponsored, to the dirtbag, it's a birthright for the masses. Partly a celebration of an underappreciated subculture of hiker trash, ski bums, and vagabonds, and partly a "how to" guide for adventure on the cheap, The Dirtbag's Guide to Life is the first solid attempt to define an outdoor movement that has taken root in backpacker hostels, long trails, and climbing crags around the world.

Distilling personal wisdom and practical lessons from dozens of the worldâ€™s most dedicated dirtbags, this book is for anyone who dreams of hitchhiking trips through Patagonia and summers spent trail running in Montana, but who canâ€™t be bothered by mainstream frivolities like expensive clothes and basic hygiene.

The book answers important logistical questions about the major barriers to a life centered on adventure, and covers practical topics like financial planning and career strategies. It also digs into the big philosophical questions that long-term dirtbags all eventually wrestle with - like how to manage your most important relationships, how to live as a responsible human being, and how to find meaning when you develop a life centered on playing outside.
