In this heartfelt and energizing episode, hosts Justin Yoder and Patrick Thompson welcome Amanda Benson, a solo RVer, emergency management expert, and founder of Dusty Trail RV. Amanda shares her story of leaving behind a life of firefighting and personal upheaval to embrace the freedom and unpredictability of life on the road. From building out her RV and navigating challenges as a queer woman in a male-dominated space, to advocating for safety, self-reliance, and mental well-being, Amanda offers practical insight and powerful perspective. Her passion for empowering others through education and community shines throughout, making this episode a celebration of resilience, adventure, and the power of saying “yes.”
