The Dirtbag Doctrine
Ten truths for living with less, feeling more, and doing better
1. Leave No Trace.
Adventure should leave a mark on your soul, not the planet.
2. Carry Only What Carries You.
Travel light. Keep the people, tools, and beliefs that build you — ditch the rest.
3. Be Unapologetically Alive.
Take up space. Wear the weird shirt. Sing off-key. Be too much for people who’ve settled for less.
4. Question Convenience.
Every shortcut costs something — your time, your planet, your peace. Choose intention over ease.
5. Get Dirty or Go Home.
Live hands-on. Clean hands don’t make good stories.
6. Fix It, Don’t Flee It.
Whether it’s your rig, your relationships, or yourself. Repair what matters.
7. Make Fear Your Fuel.
Do it scared.
8. Reject Beige.
Neutral is for walls and corporate mission statements. Life’s too short for neutral tones and safe choices. Go bold. Go weird. Go you.
9. Love Loud.
Connection is rebellion. Vulnerability is punk. Hug your homies and mean it.
10. Unleash Vanarchy.
Not the brand — the mindset.
The belief that people and planet come first, that chaos can be conscious, and that adventure is holy.
