Meet Little Firs
Reclaimed, repaired and converted into a loving home on wheels.
A window into the ‘Passenger’ way. A space to spark inspiration, share stories, and get stoked on adventure - past and present. Meaningful escapism on four wheels. Inviting roamers on board with a knowing nod, good times ahead…
Expect to see the bus at festivals with live music, on-the-go podcasts, food & bar pop-ups, inspirational talks, VIP getaways, intimate gatherings and fireside chats, plus plenty of chances to win a stay onboard. Little Firs’ mission is to help our community connect, recharge and pursue mental and physical health in the outdoors.
“Show up in the moments that matter, share stories, inspire each other and roam together”
~ Sam Westley, Passenger
New Lease of Life
Rolling slow (or not at all) Little Firs will have plenty of company this year. For more info on the where, when, how and why check out these links:

Last year we gave away Old Piney, our trusty ‘89 Talbot Autosleeper. As many vanlifers out there will know, it’s never easy parting ways with your roaming home and it left a bit of a hole at Passenger HQ.
We’re now the proud owners of this reclaimed, repaired and converted rolling home.
Win a stay on Little Firs
We’re parking up this Summer and Autumn in a one-of-a-kind location to offer our community a unique off-grid stay in Little Firs. Backed by our friends at Canopy & Stars, book your stay or enter to win an all inclusive retreat.
Escape the grind, load up packs and head for the woods. Follow the path between tall pines to see basecamp set and a fully stacked beer fridge.
Don’t worry, we’ll cover the bus fare.

“The aim from the outset was to set the bus up to be totally self-sufficient with solar energy to run everything onboard”

The Build-out (so far)
When we caught wind of a beat-up, worn-in, old American skoolie bus just around the corner from HQ and in need of rescue, we knew we had to take a look.
“..It was nice to go back to our roots of using recycled and repurposed products and wood on this build, as generally people are leaning towards a ply build nowadays, which is in very short supply worldwide…”
~ Jim, Shred & Butta
FAQs
Why did we repurpose an old vehicle rather than buy a new one? Is it possible to convert to electric and would that be worth it? How did Little Firs get to the UK? Your questions answered here:
