40 OUTDOOR RETAILER
/ February 2021
Ben Pingilley
DEC. 4, 2020, MARKED ONE YEAR SINCE MY
partner, Ben, and I moved into our self-converted camper van, Zephyr. And this past year
has been everything that everyone has already
said about it-confusing, heartbreaking, terrifying, isolating, polarizing, unifying...and so
much more.
When terrorists stormed the U.S. Capitol
on Jan. 6, the event was a continuation of the
degradation of democracy and the coddling of
those that feel entitled to a country focused on
whiteness. I can't imagine I was the only one to
see it that way.
Since Jan. 20, I've begun to see a shift. I
know the bar is low. I know this latest administration isn't perfect. I know the issues we've
faced this year aren't going away with the ending of the previous administration; we've still
got so much work to do. Angela Davis once
said, " You have to act as if it were possible to
radically transform the world. And you have to
do it all the time. " In this moment, we need her
words the most-to mend relationships; to
save the planet; to dismantle the idea of white
supremacy and successfully challenge oppressive practices; to save the lives of our families,
neighbors, and friends.
Sitting here in my camper, I'm feeling this
tiny glimmer of hope for a better us. O.R.
