This past weekend and for the next two weekends we‘re working in the Bay Area selling kombucha at Costco. . For us, at least right now this lifestyle comes with extremes attached. We spend weeks or months at a time in nature, out of service at a climbing crag or in the mountains. This means that sometimes we also spend weeks at a time working long hours to make and save money. Right now, our office is a warehouse where we’re expected to push sales and run around restocking inventory 12-hours a day for 4 days in a row (hello OT!). It means way more artificial light than we’d prefer. We wake up before the sun rises and finish after the sun sets. It means we witness the craziness of a warehouse, which is simultaneously enlightening and horrifying. . That said, we’re energized and lucky that we can pick up this type of work. Every gig we say yes to is a choice we make each week or month. And these paychecks in particular will get us closer to our goal of taking paragliding lessons this winter. They say you need to learn to walk before you can learn to fly. I guess for us it’s more like.. we need to work off butts off slinging ‘booch before we can learn to fly? . Once these weekends are over, we can completely let go of these temporary gigs and return fully to our creative work or head to the mountains, or Yosemite or San Diego… or? . So yes, its extreme. But it’s an ebb and flow that allows us freedom so it’s an extreme we’re happy to live with.
