“The trip has given me an appreciation for not only natural places, but for the enormous generosity of people we have met,” Kemp said. “There were so many strangers we came across who were unreasonably nice to us. That gives you renewed hope in the human spirit, and that we’re all in this together.

“As far as camping goes, I think one of the big things is figuring out how much less you need than you think you do.

“When we took off, we had all this stuff that could be categorized as, ‘This could be useful.’ None of those scenarios came up, and we jettisoned a lot of stuff during the trip. You only need the bare essentials.”

Nabors said the only downside of the trip is that his sleep cycle has been “totally destroyed.” And making a cup of coffee with the push of a button seems absurdly simple.

“I got used to going to bed when it got dark, and then rising with the sun,” Nabors said. “I’m not comfortable sleeping in a bed, and prefer sleeping in my sleeping bag.

“Even making breakfast now is weird, because everything is so much more simple than when you’re camping. But the entire experience has been wonderful.
