About Us
Howdy!
We are Val Weston and J. Brandon, the folks behind Propane and Bourbon. We’re happy you found us.
We’ve both been traveling extensively since we were kids. In early 2016, we bought a 26-foot toy hauler travel trailer and took quite a few trips with it around the western US.
… our little adventure might last for six months, or six years …
In December 2019 we sold our house with a vague plan to live full-time in our RV, traveling and working from the road until we got around to building our new house. We joked that our little adventure might last for six months, or six years. We didn’t know.
Then, in the first couple months of 2020, the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic arrived. Our vague plans suddenly needed to change, drastically.
These are our stories.

Val is an outdoor and nature nerd. This former geologist, amateur naturalist, and adventurous spirit has criss-crossed North America in her explorations. And she’s done it in all kinds of ways – camping by car, motorcycle, and foot; traveling solo and with family; exploring the backcountry and front-country. Read her Propane and Bourbon posts here.

Cofounder
It’s a big leap from family camping trips in a vintage canned-ham trailer to living full-time in a medium-sized toy hauler with an awesome partner and a big, lovable dog. Add in travels in tent trailers, truck camping, and minimalist cross-country motorcycle adventures and that’s J’s roadtrip—and off-road—experience.Read his Propane and Bourbon posts here.
