Shari + Hutch

David "Hutch" Hutchison and Shari Galiardi are a traveling freelance writer / photographer / speaker couple who have been living in their 72 sq ft vintage camper since 2012. Both are outdoor and environmental educators who have explored, volunteered, and worked across the country as well as internationally. As Elite Rangers, Shari and Hutch have been reviewing campgrounds and gear since The Dyrt's beginning and actively use their campground app to find those perfect off the beaten path spots. You can read more about their adventures on their website, <a href="http://www.freedominacan.com/">Freedom in a Can</a>, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/AdventureswithHamlet">Facebook</a>, and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/freedom.in.a.can/">Instagram</a>.
