A full truck. An open road. A new chapter.

This is Burn the Boats

Less someday.
More living.

We're Mark, Travis, and Chris. Burn the Boats is our YouTube channel about hands-on builds, RV road trips, outdoor adventures, and building a life with more freedom.

From life on the ranch to Colorado mountain trails, we're sharing the projects, the wrong turns, and the good stuff along the way.
