A field journal · Cape Town & beyond
Trade the made world for the wild one.
Stories from escaping into nature — freediving, trails, camps, and the open road. Words now, film soon. Come with us.
The idea
Evado
Latin — ēvādō, “to break free; to escape.”
On a held breath, on an empty ridgeline, a mile down a dirt road — the man-made world stops reaching you. Everything you were carrying gets very small.
That’s the whole idea. Evado Wild is about trading the made world for the wild one, as often as we can get away with it — and writing it all down. Cold water. Warm welcome. Into the wild.

Twelve degrees at Cosy Bay, more swell than I wanted, and a head full of reasons not to go. Then I dived.
Field NotesInto the wild: why Evado exists
This isn't a business plan. It's a standing invitation to leave the made world behind — starting with words, soon with film.
WaterThe cold teaches you to breathe
A morning in the Cape kelp, where the Atlantic is eight degrees and the only way down is to slow everything right down.
