Mick Campbell and Tahlija Redgard Make #VanLifers Look Like Weekend Warriors

Roaming the outback, slaying fish, breaking boards—Mick Campbell and Tahlija Redgard are living a good, honest life.

With their combi outfitted to keep them off the grid for months at a time, the couple’s taken to wandering and filming their adventures for a web series they’re producing called “Living Surfing Fishing RAW AUSTRALIA.”

With his full red beard and tattooed knuckles, Mick looks right at home in the harsh environment; Tahlija appears born for this life. Known for charging heavy barrels, she doesn’t hesitate to hook into a hard-fighting fish either.

 “Mick’s taught me respect,” Tahlija says. “He’s pushed me beyond what I thought was in me and opened my eyes. He’s encouraged me to chase my dreams and visions. He’s the most loving person I know. He’s my best mate, my soul mate.”

Finding the ocean after a 2,000-km drive through the South Oz desert. Shattering an entire quiver of boards with five weeks left on the trip. Gutting fish and smoking them on an open fire. Clearly, Mick and Tahlija have their program dialed.
