FOSSIL HUNTRESS FAVS: TUNES IN THE FIELD

One of the questions I am often asked is, "What are you listening to?" I'm always humming. It is a signature mark of my paleo happiness once I am in the field. 

When everyone is settled in and has been shown the site, what to look for and is happily on there way, I collect and I hum.

The right music can make a camping adventure feel downright magical —the tunes that carry you down winding backroads, hum softly beneath crackling campfires, and keep you company as the last golden light slips behind the trees. 

For me, few albums suit the journey better than London Grammar’s Truth Is a Beautiful Thing and Gotye’s Making Mirrors—both rich, layered, and full of mood, like the landscapes rolling past the window on the drive out to wild places. 

London Grammar feels made for misty mornings, thermoses of coffee, and watching the fog lift off the mountains, while Gotye brings that wonderfully quirky, thoughtful energy for long stretches of highway and late-night drives home when your boots are muddy, your hair smells faintly of woodsmoke, and your heart is full from a weekend well spent outdoors. 

The right music becomes part of the memory, woven into the laughter, the trails, the stars overhead, and the quiet joy of being gloriously unplugged in the wild.

I put together a list of recommendations and popped it on my public Amazon page. I'll also see about sharing lists from Spotify. 

In full disclosure, while I do not place ads on this site, as an Amazon associate I do earn from qualifying purchases made if they link through from my recommendations. And, I only recommend gear, tunes, snacks or anything else that are tried and true. Things I love and tend to play or purchase on repeat and bring with me on my adventures.
