There is little doubt that the State, the institution whose sole function is to legitimately coerce and inflict violence upon others, makes a dangerous enemy. One must only look at certain events of the 20th century to verify this fact, although a look at the entirety of human history would…

Unfortunately, Kyle was unable to record this week; instead, I’ve decided to release my recent interview on Jeremiah Harding’s show, State Smash Podcast. We talked all things vonu: some history, some philosophy, van nomadism, the importance of self-liberational media in proving the efficacy of these lifestyle changes, and more. New…
On this episode of The Vonu Podcast, Jason and I conclude the van nomadism series (for now) by discussing the normal obstacles to achieving and living the van life. There are obstacles, of course, but they’re not too much to overcome if this is your chosen vonu lifestyle. New to…
On this episode of The Vonu Podcast, we continue our van nomadism series. New to vonu? START HERE! Herein, we begin by talking about the modern van nomad community, some of their meetups and gatherings, and how these folks are SO CLOSE to being full-blown vonuans. As we have had…
On this episode of The Vonu Podcast, we begin a new miniseries on van nomadism, the first vonu strategy Rayo pursued back in the 1960s. To cover the philosophy behind it and case studies of practitioners in one shot, we decided to introduce this miniseries by playing the audio from…
On this episode of The Vonu Podcast, we dive head first into Season 3 with a discussion on how to exorcise those collectivist spooks, once and for all. Keep in mind, this won’t happen overnight and it will require constant checking–the propaganda and indoctrination most individuals have faced has been…
On this episode of The Vonu Podcast, Shane and Kyle come to you with another intermission episode. They return to the vonu publication, Self-Liberation Notes, to discuss an article by Jim Stumm titled, “Levels of Dependency in Conventional Lifestyles.” New to vonu? START HERE! Herein, Jim goes through three fairly…
On this episode of The Vonu Podcast, Kyle and Shane discuss a little-mentioned topic by Rayo: self-liberational media (SLM). This can be defined as: Independently published content for either mass consumption or a niche market; such media is ingrained with the DIY ethic. They first begin by getting caught up…
We’ve gotten quite a few new listeners and figured it would be wise to get back to the basics and provide action steps one can take if they are just starting out in their pursuit of voneunce. Furthermore, there may be some long-time listeners who are digging the podcasts and…
War is mass murder. It is the most despicable action the State partakes in and leads to millions of dead, innocent civilians, the destruction of entire civilizations and economies, and leaves many homeless, starving, and dying of disease. It is the modern day version of sacrifice to the Gods, or…
On this special episode of The Vonu Podcast, Jason Boothe and I do our first question & answer episode! Questions include: How did you each individually learn of vonu? Would it be possible to covertly produce mushrooms and other such forms of secret agriculture? How do you think Rayo would…
On this season two episode of The Vonu Podcast, Kyle and Shane cover one of the most under-developed possibilities of vonu: vonuing in cities. Most of the potential solutions we’ve discussed so far have included strategic relocation and/or radical lifestyle changes that may not appeal to some. New to vonu?…
It’s finally here–VONULIFE, March 1973! This lengthy, highly informative publication is over 75,000 words (TWICE the length of Vonu: The Search for Personal Freedom), and contains ~35 articles, about 15 or so of them BRAND NEW to us from Rayo. It even includes a foreword by yours truly (Shane) and…
