We’re Matt and Kristina, a retired couple living off the grid and traveling in our camper van, Clarity II.

Join us on our van life adventures as we strive to capture this beautiful world through video and photography.

Welcome to Clarity Off Grid

Our Massive Summer Project

In this video, we'll share with you how we used a crane to remove the roof from our garage.

Raised the walls three feet and then replaced the roof in under 4 hours, so that we can park our 2022 Mercedes Sprinter DIY Camper Van in our garage.

Follow us on YouTube to find out why we’re spending so much time and effort on renovating our garage.

Escaping to the Mountains in our Van for a Much-Needed Break

We're working diligently on our massive garage project.

We've raised the roof on our garage so that we can park our van, Clarity, inside.

This project has required long hours working in the summer heat for weeks on end.

We need a break, so we're packing up for a single night out in the mountains to reset.

Join us as we explore the Red Mountain Mining District near the towns of Ouray and Silverton, Colorado.

Autumn Van Life
Adventure Photography Series

After three months on the road, we’re wrapping up our Autumn Van Life Adventure Photography Series.

In this video series, we travel from Lake Powell to the Eastern Sierra to reunite with Matt’s brothers and their families. Here, we join Mark for his first major hike after surviving a lung transplant.

Next, we return to the Oregon Coast for more magnificent photography and wildlife.

To round out our 3-month journey, we travel to the Midwest and the Upper Peninsula, then back home by way of the Badlands in South Dakota, where we explore Matt’s Native American ancestry.

Thanks for coming along!

Pacific Northwest Van Life Series

This van life photography tour took us from our home in Durango, Colorado, to the ever-beautiful Oregon Coast.
We captured some of our best photographs and footage on the coast.
Wherever we turned our attention, magic happened….

…Coyotes on the beach, crashing waves on sea stack rocks, seals, and fighting sea lions.

It was what photographers’ dreams are made of.
