Vanlife

Who said you cannot have everything you need in a van? Actually... no one said that, but if they did they are stupid.

What we think is cool

That dude Paul who lived in his beat-to-shit Kia Soul for a summer. That couple who spent 3 weeks camping in their Prius, checking off boxes on their National Parks list.  A single mom taking her kids camping for a single night is so cool we don't even have words for it. Although we have the word "overland" on our website and hats and t-shirts, we can't ignore the fact that a custom Defender in New Zealand has more in common with a single mother's Honda Element than not. They are both literal and figurative vehicles to get out and enjoy places without walls.

What we also think is incredible!

4x4 vans are cool. Old Jeeps are cool. Rooftop tents and old pickups and BLM Land and hiking boots are cool. Big squishy tires and State Parks are way cool.  We all love pretty pictures of Jeep Rubicons and isolated campsites. We also want to recognize that for some people, getting out of town for a single night is harder than another's trip down the Baja Peninsula.

Meet the GTFO team

How many ... Does it take to run GTFO?

Evan

Evan DeMarco 

Evan DeMarco is the co-owner and CEO of GTFO, a seasoned entrepreneur, systems builder, and lifelong believer that the outside remains one of the last frontiers worth exploring. 

Across a career spent building consumer brands, media platforms, land-based businesses, and energy ventures, Evan has focused on a simple question: how do you build things that last? His work has consistently centered on ownership, resilience, capability, and creating companies with enough substance to outlive the trend cycle that created them. 

At GTFO, that focus becomes personal. 

Evan believes the outdoors is not a backdrop for a better Instagram post. It is where people develop competence, perspective, and a healthier relationship with discomfort. It is where kids learn that the world is larger than a screen, where families build memories that do not require a subscription, and where adults remember that freedom has a physical dimension: the ability to go, make, fix, explore, and adapt. 

That conviction is inseparable from his role as a father. Evan wants his daughter, Piper, to inherit more than stories about places that used to be wild, accessible, and worth protecting. He wants her generation to inherit the skills, confidence, public lands, and sense of responsibility required to experience them firsthand. 

As CEO, Evan’s role is to help GTFO become more useful to the people who feel the same pull. That means building a company with real product standards, honest guidance, durable partnerships, and media that does more than sell the appearance of adventure. GTFO should lower the barrier between wanting to get outside and actually doing it, 

Because life happens out there—and the frontier is still waiting. 

 

Janna

Janna Breslin 

Janna Breslin is an athlete, entrepreneur, TV host, and co-owner of GTFO whose career has evolved from fitness and wellness into outdoor adventure, overlanding, and building a more capable life. 

At the center of that evolution is a belief that has shaped nearly everything she does: freedom is something you earn. 

Janna’s path began in health and fitness, but a major health crisis forced her to rethink what being healthy actually meant. She rebuilt from the inside out, questioning how she trained, ate, recovered, and lived. That experience became the foundation for a career focused not simply on aesthetics, but on strength, resilience, curiosity, and capability. 

Over the years, Janna has appeared on more than 10 magazine covers, competed as an endurance athlete, built multiple wellness and lifestyle businesses, and reached millions of people through television and social media. As her career has evolved, so has the way she defines strength, moving beyond aesthetics and performance toward something more durable: capability, resilience, and the confidence that comes from testing yourself in the real world. 

That is where GTFO begins. 

For Janna, getting outside is about much more than recreation. It means getting outside your routine, your comfort zone, your assumptions, and sometimes the version of yourself you need to outgrown. It means learning new skills, building capability, getting dirty, making mistakes, and discovering what you can actually do when there is no shortcut. 

Through overlanding, outdoor adventure, building, training, travel, and the stories behind them, Janna approaches the outdoors as both a proving ground and a teacher. She does not position herself as the expert who already knows everything. She learns in public, asks questions, tests ideas against reality, and shows the difference between looking capable and becoming capable. 

At GTFO, Janna represents the invitation to participate. You do not need to be an expert. You do not need the perfect vehicle, perfect body, or perfect conditions. You just have to start. 

Because life does not happen while you are waiting to feel ready. 

Life Happens Out There. 

 

One last thing...

The point is, it's not our place to judge. None of us were born in a Land Cruiser.* We all had to start somewhere, and for some people that means getting time off work approved by a manager. 

 *If you personally were born in a Land Cruiser, please email us so we can interview your mom.

Get out there & do it!

We feel that the Earth is kind of a big place with plenty of room for all types. Let's inspire each other to go see more of it.
