SHOW NOTES

Capturing the Wild with Paul of Smokey and the Vandit | RV Out West Podcast

What happens when a life built around exploring the outdoors changes in an instant?

This week, your host, Brooks welcomes photographer, storyteller, and van traveler Paul Boomhower, better known as Smokey and the Vandit, for an honest conversation about wildlife photography, Pacific Northwest travel, van life, and resilience.

Paul shares how leaving behind a successful restaurant career led him to build a camper van and set off on what was supposed to be a six-month road trip. Instead, the pandemic reshaped his journey, allowing him to spend years exploring Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Alaska, and beyond while photographing bears, elk, wolves, birds, and some of the West's most incredible landscapes.

The conversation also turns deeply personal as Paul opens up about his recent diagnosis with glioblastoma following an unexpected seizure while driving. He discusses surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, and how his outlook on life has changed while continuing to pursue his passion for photography and the outdoors.

If you love RV travel, van life, wildlife photography, camping, road trips, and exploring the Pacific Northwest, this conversation is one you won't want to miss.

A photographer, storyteller, van wanderer, and perhaps a modern day Renaissance man, he spent years exploring the Pacific Northwest and far beyond with his camera in hand, patiently waiting for nature to reveal its most extraordinary moments. But Paul's story isn't just about stunning landscapes and elusive wildlife. It's about curiosity, resilience, and how life can change in an instant. Reshaping not only the journey ahead, but the person taking it. Today, we are honored to share his remarkable path with you. Paul, thank you so much for joining us here on RV Out West.

Paul, Guest Thanks for having me today, Paul. For people discovering you for the first time, who's Paul when the camera is packed away? Tell me a little bit about your yourself and your history. I'm originally from Florida over twenty years, a little over twenty years. I either lived in Los Angeles or New York City, and I worked in the restaurant industry. And the last thing that happened was I was a partner in a Santa Monica. I had taken over another partner in a failing restaurant. And what I did was something about going in and, you know, in my opinion, to take it from a kind of a dump fire into something doing well. It was a situation that I did turn around over two years, and then it was just I, I got tired of dealing with my other partner. And so I had decided that I was going to take a little, a little break, you know, five, six months. And I wanted to go check around, you know, the Pacific Northwest Western, uh, areas because I had I had not been to those areas other than just cities before. And so I, I went out and I bought a van and I saw something on, on, you know, on YouTube or whatnot about, oh, you can just, you can build one of these. And so I, I did that over, you know, a couple months. And then I decided to take that about five to six month adventure and I was going to end up to Alaska. I was going to spend, you know, two months up there and the rest were going to Washington and Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, those areas. And then that was I was going to head out to the Midwest because I had been researching some areas over in the, what I call the Big Ten college towns around there.

Brooks, Host Right.

Paul, Guest I left the first beginning, you know, days of January of twenty twenty. And I, I was out on the road and something interestingly happened called Covid and I wasn't able to get across the border to get up to Alaska. And so I just decided that I was going to go and, and explore everywhere that I, that I wanted to in, you know, the Pacific Northwest. You know, what happened was my life changed to just really getting in touch with nature again. And I it's just it's just one of those things, you know, I think I, I read some good mirror or Thoreau or whomever, and, you know, I made the decision that I was going to change my life and just kind of go around and explore.

Brooks, Host Where did your love for the outdoors begin? Was there a moment growing up that made you realize nature was always going to be a part of your life, especially after living in cities for as long as you did?

Paul, Guest Well, growing up, I, I mean, I would, I would joke with people and say that I was either I was half, you know, kind of country and half beach bum. Uh, because where I lived in Florida, I was just a couple miles over the Gulf and I lived in the sticks pretty, you know, kind of out in the rural of it. And so I, I grew up, you know, playing out in nature, loving it. Uh, when we would, you know, for, for vacation for me growing up, you know, it wasn't Disney World. It was going, you know, into the forest or, or things like that. And so I, it was one of those things where I just never had enough time when I lived in LA or New York. And not that I didn't still connect to nature, but I just didn't have the time. And it was one of those things that when I, when I left New York City, I was headed back out to LA for that Santa Monica situation. And I decided that I was going to, uh, take the northern drive across the country because I hadn't done that before. It was one. I drove through Yellowstone, and Yellowstone was just. I was at that. I said, this is something that I need to see again. And then that turned into that. I need to see more of, you know, Washington and Oregon and places like that, because I had been to Seattle or I had been to Portland or things like that. But that obviously isn't all of, you know, what those states are. And so it was just, I got into the nature and I got some, you know, dirt on my feet and put some nice. Yeah, that's what it is basically. It was a, it was a. Kind of a, an amazing, uh, reconnection to it. That just made sense. Uh, that it, it just made sense for me.

Brooks, Host Well, Paul, your Instagram is smoking in the van And that's a memorable name. So what's the story behind it?

Paul, Guest Well, you know, Smokey and the bandit. Uh, great movie. Um, one of my favorites and I, it's, it's a, it's a driving movie, basically. And so I was going for a drive, you know, what was going to have been five to six months or whatever, but it was just getting myself out onto the road and exploring and, you know, wherever I headed around to, uh, but I just thought that Burt Reynolds would be, you know, my, my, my driver, you know, my, my co-driver and whatnot. And so that somehow or another, I thought that I was clever and I came up with Smokey and the bandit. And it was funny because when I went to Instagram, there actually was a Smokey and the bandit And, uh, just nobody ever used it that that particular, uh, account was used, but it wasn't ever utilized. And so that's why I used my, I have the little spaces to the name. Yeah.

Brooks, Host That's great. I've always appreciated that Instagram handle. It was one of my favorites, to be quite honest. So well done, silly.

Paul, Guest You know, it's fun to be silly.

Brooks, Host Yeah, absolutely. You've traveled to some incredible places in your van. When you look back, what destinations stand out as defining moments in your journey?

Paul, Guest I love everywhere, you know, it's one of those where I, I try to be positive about wherever you are, you know, if, if it's an area that you don't really care for, it's there's something beautiful about it. But you know, when I talk to my Florida friends and family and whatnot, I let it known that I, I really. kind of lean into mountains, evergreens. And it's, you know, about the Pacific Northwest areas. I like where the Cascades and I like being just on the east side of them because you get that change into a little bit of, uh, you get evergreens, you get water, you get elevation, but you get a lot of dryness. And having grown in Florida, uh, I don't love the humidity.

Brooks, Host So I do not either.

Paul, Guest This is where I could find, but it was, you know, it's, it's funny that I find these in Oregon, for example, you know, my, my favorite little area of Oregon is, uh, sisters, nice little kind of country town close to the mountains. Get up into Washington and Twisp up in northern Washington.

Brooks, Host Yeah. And the.

Paul, Guest Winthrop, uh. Beautiful little areas, you know, great rivers, a lot of green, a lot of elevation. And. Little places like that. That's where I did spend a bunch of, uh, about a, about a year. Close to a year of spending a lot of time over in Montana and I in Missoula. And so I would use Missoula as a place just to launch over into Idaho and Washington and Oregon, you know, to be able to go out and just go out on my adventures, things like that.

Brooks, Host Well, so that's.

Paul, Guest A great way.

Brooks, Host You know, the Pacific Northwest has no shortage of incredible scenery. What keeps bringing you back here?

Paul, Guest So varied and eclectic. And, you know, not only it's I mean, the ocean. Uh, you know, the shore of Pacific Northwest is magic. You know, it's it's beautiful. The the lush greens, you know, coming off the get a lot of humidity and whatnot, but it's very green on that west side of the Cascades. And then you get, you know, some great mountains and volcanoes and just, you know, such different things to explore and adventure around. And, and then you get the, you know, you get desert over there too. And there's areas where I have been in where it's just amazing desert that you wouldn't expect it to be so desert like in Oregon and Washington and things like that. And so I.

Brooks, Host Would like to switch gears for a minute and talk about your photography. I've been following your smoking in the van, didn't I think since twenty twenty? I think we did a sticker exchange around the time we both started our Instagram accounts umpteen years ago. And I'm a photographer as well. Uh, I don't do wildlife photography, but you make some incredible wildlife photos and wildlife photography requires lots of patience. So what's the biggest lesson animals have taught you about slowing down, paying attention, or simply just being present?

Paul, Guest I think that's it, right? There is just being present. You might get lucky and get a, uh, you know, some pictures. They might be amazing. They might not be. I just, I really feel really lucky in experiencing the, the wildlife while I am a big fan of, you know, the bigger wildlife, you know, especially the bears, elk, you know, bison, you know, whatever it is, big things like that deer. I'm a huge fan of square squares, birds. It's it's just one of those things where without trying to sound corny or whatever, it's just, it's, you're lucky just to take that moment and experience the, uh, the wildlife and, and if and you, you have to be patient. Sometimes you get, you get lucky in one shot. By the time you might take, you know, a ton of them and you might not end up with anything that you're happy with. Uh, but you still got that moment to have.

Brooks, Host I would like to ask you your top three favorite locations in the Pacific Northwest, where you have gone to do Of photography. Where are they? What would you say is the best time of year to be there.

Paul, Guest With the larger animals? You do find them kind of in spring and in fall, you know, getting excited for the coming out of winter or whatnot. Or they have had their newborns, things like that. And then towards the end of, you know, fall and whatnot is because, you know, they're finishing up for, you know, the summer and whatnot. And so they're trying to kind of get ready for winter and things like that.

Brooks, Host Can you give me three actual locations though? Define like, oh, I like this part of wherever Rainier.

Paul, Guest I have had a lot of, uh, luck in, in finding a lot of wildlife in Mount Rainier area, uh, or Baker or, you know, probably the Cascades, You know, that's what I'm. I get a lot of luck and you get you get such a different, uh, different amount of wildlife in those in Oregon or Washington. I did enjoy Mount Saint Helens.

Brooks, Host Okay. Cool.

Paul, Guest Is just because of the interesting, uh, even though it's, you know, forty years long ago, it's just that because so much destruction had happened in that area that it's amazing kind of the difference in state. It still looks in that area, but you get you find a lot of. And if you give that time to allow yourself just to sit and watch, you do get a lot of, uh, wildlife that you see in that area. And so I've, I've spent, you know, just a lot of time camping there, uh, on any of the areas that are in the in the National forest areas and all that is. I might not be. Looking so much for the. What you would think would be the things that you'd find. But more so just getting luck lucky. And then sorry. You know, I think it's a lot of the Cascades area, uh, north northern cascade, uh, Park up there is just gorgeous. Uh.

Brooks, Host Are you talking about the North Cascades National Park?

Paul, Guest Yeah, National Park up in there, you know, and it's one of those things where they, they've, you know, they recently brought in the, the wolves again. And there's the talk about have you.

Brooks, Host Photographed.

Paul, Guest Wolves? I, I have, but I never. I've never gotten a picture that I.

Brooks, Host AM pleased. Would sorry that you're pleased with.

Paul, Guest Yeah, I think that it's I, I mean, when I see them, it's still amazing. I mean, that's it. They're just they're you're you're you're watching half a mile away, uh, you know, a quarter mile, you know, close to you, uh, mile to you or things like that. I've seen, I've seen one probably close, maybe an eighth of a way hundred yards. And, but nothing that I've ever gotten with that you would, you know, print out, but still to see those, uh, wolves are, are amazing, you know, or I've found, uh, prints, you know, when I've been out and about. And that's just amazing. You know, obviously there or mountain lion or anything like that. Um, that's sometimes it's, uh, not the picture that you actually, uh, get yourself, but you still get to see the, the moment.

Brooks, Host Yeah. That's so cool. That's so cool. What a, what a great, wonderful experience to be able to have that when you're out in the backcountry, out in nature and to be able to just bear witness to that, even though you might not have been able to create the image that you were hoping to create. We've been chatting with Paul of Smokey and the bandit. We've heard stories in the quest for bears, elk, deer, and other large game to photograph. I was Instagram name came to be and how he's been exploring along the eastern edge of the Cascades in his van. When we return, Paul will be sharing how a single event changed his life forever.

Paul, Guest Well, Paul, I would like.

Brooks, Host To change gears for a moment if you're comfortable talking about your current situation.

Paul, Guest Mhm.

Brooks, Host So you have been open about your recent health journey. Can you share what you've been facing and how it's changed your perspective on life and travel?

Paul, Guest Oh, well, um. February ninth, I was down in Arizona because what I would do in, uh, is I would work for where the Dodgers do spring training. And, uh, that started because I wanted to try to get a photography gig, uh, for that. And then I found that was never going to happen. But two days later, from February ninth this year, and apparently I had a seizure while I was driving. Uh, I say apparently because I still don't. I don't remember any of this. I ended up at the the hospital in the E.R. and there they said, you don't know anything about this. And I said, no. And they said, all right. So that tells us you probably took a. You had a seizure. And I said, all right. And they said, so we want to do some CT scans. And they did. And they came back with some. They did a bunch of them and they said, you know, you're, you've got, you've got some growth in your brain. And so we're going to do some, some memories. And thankfully they, you know, there were, there were no tumors found in anywhere except for my brain. Uh, and they did a biopsy and it turns out that it is glioblastoma, which is, uh, not an awesome, uh, news thing for you to get. But that's, uh, kind of my situation. I, I, I had surgery on April sixth, uh, where they, they took the tumors out. And just up until a couple days ago, I had done thirty treatments of radiation and I did forty three daily pills of chemo. Um, and now I'm actually on three weeks of not doing chemo. And so. Next, next, on next week, on July first, I'm seeing an MRI again and we'll see that hopefully it is as clear as it was when I saw it. After I got the surgery was done. It was. It was cleared. The neurosurgeon had done a, uh. A fantastic job at what she did, you know, so so I'm, I'm just kind of moving, uh, one foot in front of the other. And we're kind of seeing what the situation is. This from February ninth to today, it has been a very fast, uh. Situation experience. And every, you know, from the moment that I, my, my shuttle bus, because I had changed it from my previous, uh, Burt Reynolds turned to, uh, you know, this Tuesday, I have been very, you know, getting done doing this, doing that, doing that. And so I really haven't had a lot of time to kind of maybe think of that answer of the question that you just asked. But I think since. I kind of changed my life, we will say in twenty twenty, uh, when I, when I made the decision that there wasn't going, that I wasn't going to do restaurant stuff anymore, and I was going to just kind of be out in nature and whatnot. I, I kind of feel like that life, uh, importance, you know, I found that part of it over the last six years or whatnot, this particular no such thing as there is a better answer for. For anything anybody has to deal with. But this glioblastoma. Um. If I. Um. You never know what's going to happen. We'll say that. But statistics do show that it's it's difficult for people who will live more than, um, if they live two years, they're lucky for that. So I'm kind of now that I'm done with the radiation and I'm just going to breathe for, you know, a little while. And hopefully this MRI that I see next week is going to be clear because then I will see another MRI two months from now, you know, the beginning of September. And then it is a hopefully it's clear, you know, that kind of thing. Gotcha. And so it's it's not a I don't know if I necessarily have the, the. The, the ready on answers yet or answers ready on those yet. Uh, but I'm just one foot in front of the other. One thing that I deal with is, uh, where the tumors were, they're a part of my brain that give me some challenges where you get problem with speech, kind of remembering some words, you know, putting the right sentences together and things like that. So just the fact that I have had to kind of change my life into that, that I'm getting used to, uh, where previously I didn't deal with.

Brooks, Host Well, Paul, thank you for sharing that with us. And I know that this summer, one of the adventures you are looking to head out on to is to head back to Alaska. So what are you most excited about for your Alaska trip this summer?

Paul, Guest Well it's amazing. I'm. I am very lucky that I get to, uh, get to go up there again, uh, albeit for a, a shorter situation and, uh, you know, not the, for the last couple years, I've been working up there as a photography guide and whatnot. And I'm not doing that this year. And it's a little, you know, melancholy as well, because it possibly might be the last time that I go to Alaska because of this situation. And so it is, Are just a. It's an amazing, absolutely amazing land up there that I have been. I can't even describe how lucky I've been to, uh, explore and adventure over Alaska the last several, uh, few years, but I still am going to experience the nature wildlife hopefully. Um, you know, I, I go looking for the, the bears and the, and the moose and whatnot.

Brooks, Host How long, how. Tell me about your trip. Are you driving, are you taking bandit up and how long are you.

Paul, Guest I'm flying up there.

Brooks, Host You're flying. Okay.

Paul, Guest I can't drive right now. I lost my driver's license from having a seizure while driving.

Brooks, Host Okay.

Paul, Guest Although I. I am missing out on not being able to drive through Western Canada because that is some amazing land to be able to experience there. But I'm up there for about a month, you know, a little shorter than a month. And so I am lucky to have some friends and family that are going to be up there and experiencing this adventure with me. And most of the people that are that are coming up there have never been to Alaska before. So I, I do take some happiness into, you know, trying to show some people, some areas and things like that and doing on some going on some hikes and, and things that I can do that they can do and, you know, hopefully get some pretty good pictures too.

Brooks, Host Exactly. And I'm, I'm going to be following right along on your Smokey and the bandit as you embark on this incredible journey.

Paul, Guest Yeah, it's, I mean, it's, it's, I am. Incredibly lucky. So it's, uh, it's it's amazing that. It's one of those things where, where I tell everyone, you gotta, you gotta see Alaska one time, you know, even if you don't like it. But it it is, it is amazing. And so, uh, yeah, I'm, I'm leaving in a month and a half to, uh, start headed up there and, uh, then I'll get back here in August and check on the cancer and whatnot and see how I'm doing.

Brooks, Host Well, Paul, where can people follow along on your adventures? I know we've already talked about your Instagram, so go ahead and tell us more about your Instagram. And if there's anywhere else they can follow along on your adventures.

Paul, Guest Probably the, the Smokey and the bandit with spaces between those words that follows my adventure, plus my wildlife. I'm looking forward to getting back up to, uh, to Alaska so that I can just take some pictures. It's just been a lot that I've had to go through. But you know, I'm alive and you'll never know. Uh, you don't know what's gonna happen with this situation. And, um, if somebody wants to check my Instagram out, I sure appreciate it.
