PACKING CLOTHES for FULL TIME LIFE ON THE ROAD: TOOLS, TIPS & TRICKS

[@allisonyeary5796]

Thanks so much for this video…going on a month long trip in our TC and was having trouble just figuring that out. Super helpful tips.

[@BoundForNowhere]

You're welcome! I hope you have a blast out there!

[@mhobie1]

Watched this while on a ship in Mexico, and as a practicing minimalist I would like to add that we all need less than we think and typically have a place to wash and dry what you have. Great video

[@BoundForNowhere]

Very very true! It's amazing how little we miss having a larger wardrobe!

[@teneretraveller8980]

Actually really important subject. My good lady and I had some very interesting discussion about what she could bring on our motorbike. We both have a 28 litre pannier each which must way less than 9kg. For everything. Plus what we wear on the bike. No more than 4 of anything, but we do a lot of laundry in rooms hotels etc. It's basically a miniature version of what you do. And it works. Not many think of or cover this. Great topic well covered. Happy travels

[@BoundForNowhere]

I really admire how minimally people who do bike touring can be! It's so impressive and we like to take a lot of lessons from them! I wish more people talked in-depth on this subject because it would have saved us a lot of time when trying to figure all of this out for ourselves ;)

[@teneretraveller8980]

@@BoundForNowhere we, as motorcyclists are actually learning a lot from the van community. Having just hired a camper and loved it we can see why so many people choose to go this way. Although we both agree we're not ready to give up the iron horse yet. Maybe a smaller bike on the back of a camper is the best of both worlds. Choices choices. Please continue the blogs. Excellent stuff.

[@duncdunc76]

@@teneretraveller8980 best of both worlds indeed it would be! Although I'd probably try and find a way to keep the Tenere being its such a nice bike for touring and all. Depending on your choice of rig a hitch mount carrier could probably handle that bike.

[@BoundForNowhere]

How exciting! And thank you! More to come from us!

[@jimmccullough4041]

Cant wait to see the new rig

[@lillypatience]

it's on their blog and instagram...it's beau-teee-ful! and there's mention of a fur baby...i don't recall them having a fur baby!

[@kamikazekunze]

wow, I thought they were content with the red rig.

[@DiscoPh3v3r]

Love the amazing quality of the videos and their editing and transitions! One of my favorite channels. Pro level stuff here!

[@BoundForNowhere]

We so greatly appreciate that!

[@sethedwards6048]

Great video! I also think it would be cool to see like a review of what you guys do for food on the road. Like cooking, eating out, set meals, etc. And congratulations with the new camper it looks great, I hope it treats you guys well.

[@BoundForNowhere]

Thank you so much! We have that on our list of videos to do! Thank you for the great suggestion!

[@juanitasellshouses]

One of the best, honest and helpful videos I've seen. We don't plan to live in our van full time but are planning a two month trip. We'll be in varied temperatures so thinking through what clothing to bring has been challenging.

[@leoknudsen4077]

I love ur guy’s channel

[@statikpunk]

Wow! That rig is a step up from the previous camper shell.

[@BoundForNowhere]

Yes! Sorry about that! More details to follow on our huge life update!

[@TonyChicago22]

Nice upgrade.....The color looks better too!

[@BoundForNowhere]

Thank you so much!

[@explorewithrus9899]

Always great and informative! Can’t wait for the new rig tour.

[@FnAVanLife]

I love a good packing video! Especially when it’s packing for your whole life!!!

[@BoundForNowhere]

Yessss!

[@Seastorm-nh8cv]

Very Informative. You pack a lot more than I would have thought you could! Thans Mak and Owen!

[@BoundForNowhere]

Our pleasure! Yeah we've always been inpressed how much you can get into these little bags!

[@sophirichmanfletcher4657]

@@BoundForNowhere Very impressive!! It looks like you might be using some tips from Marie Kondo in folding so many items into such a small space ;) That is helping in my van as well--but, did I miss where you mention where you store those bags of clothing? Or is that in the video of the new rig that I haven't seen yet? How do you know which bag is which? My dilemma is living in Oregon, where you have to carry stuff for different climates even if you don't travel very far!! It's supposed to be in the 90s inland (100 miles) but it's in the 50s and windy at the coast. I can't believe how much stuff you managed to pack in those little bags. Kudos!!!

[@Torea-Rodriguez]

Please also continue to leave bloopers at the end. Getting a good laugh in is so nurturing to the soul :)

[@BoundForNowhere]

Thank you! I can make that happen!

[@AdventuresInNoMadness]

Well done video!!! We are full timers in our travel trailer. We were doing some research for a video on a packing question someone had for us. We definitely got some ideas from you, thanks!

[@Marie_G.]

Love it! I'm just sitting back here thinking.. dang you have more clothes then me and my stuff is everywhere in the bedroom. I need to get it together. Lol.

[@BoundForNowhere]

Sounds like packing cubes might work in your house too ;)

[@57NUPE]

I just saw you guys on Exploring Alternatives channel and that was the most I heard Owen talk!!! That was a cool video guys!!!

[@BoundForNowhere]

I know! I love it when people convince him to talk on camera! I've been trying to tell him that he is great on camera... maybe he will come around one day

[@cocosguesthousekohphiphi5704]

Fantastic tube vid

[@mtbway4302]

whao..I cannot wait to see the new rig!!!

[@BoundForNowhere]

We can't wait to show you!

[@PaulDGreen-bu4iz]

Nice setup! Thank you for sharing!

[@Rocki5pr]

Good video!! Even saw a few places where I could save even more space!

[@BoundForNowhere]

Awesome! Glad to hear that!

[@maureneileen5932]

This was PERFECT thank you so much for this video ❤️

[@BoundForNowhere]

Glad we could help!

[@cortipascale]

Ohh, 4Wheel Flatbed? Funny that you also use the Eagle Creek Packing Cubes. I have different Cubes and Halfcubes in my Rig. I buy different colours for different stuff, makes it a bit easier to grab the right one. Thx for sharing.

[@kingstonsean]

I travel several times per year on business and at least twice for vacation travel and at 60 years old my wife and I finally started packing more sensibly as well as rolling my clothes instead of folding them (except for business attire). My problem remains that all my clothes are XL or XXL. So one of my t-shirts will take twice the space of one of hers! :) So she always has room in her suitcase for extras.

[@Prestonvans]

Thanks so much for sharing this! #VanLife is a balance of practical and pleasure! Keep up the videos and instagram. I'm a fan...

[@BoundForNowhere]

Thank you so much! Yeah I'm weirdly passionate about the processes that we use to make life on the road happen! More to come!

[@duncdunc76]

Another great vid! I use eagle creek pack cubes for my travel clothing and they work great. Enjoying the channel and like others the rig teaser has me pretty excited for you guys. Also try to coax Owen to get on camera with ya a bit more, you guys are an awesome inspirational couple😁

[@BoundForNowhere]

Oh glad to hear there is another packing cube fan out there! Yes! I'm always workin on Owen it will just take some time I think!

[@williamkenyon9858]

Well, I guess that makes me think about a bigger truck now...Great video on packing.

[@BoundForNowhere]

Thank you so much!

[@TMWheelock]

So helpful! Thank you!

[@illustrad0]

New subscriber here...love the videos as I am living vicariously through you both. I can't wait to see the tour of the new FWC! Congrats!

[@BoundForNowhere]

Yay! We finally found a wide open quiet place to film it! Should be live sooooooon!

[@cdb4464]

Is that a new rig I see?!! Pls tell us about it. Looks just fab. Congratulations!! Thanks for sharing your process re packing light for living on road. I've been watching my purchases lately, only buying items that will compress and dry easily, etc. AND that I like. The blue cubes & compression sack are a great idea. Love that you decided on bringing that beautiful jeans jacket. One special item is not asking too much. Happy, safe trails. ;D

[@BoundForNowhere]

It is it is! We're so excited to get our tour video live in two weeks! She is a real work of art! I'm so glad that you like the video, I think I had to do the same thing because at some point I had to be like...ok there is no way in hell this dress is coming with me, so I probably shouldn't buy it! It's a hard mode to switch off because I genuinely like fashion. Best of luck in the process to you!

[@24hourtravellers]

Thank you 💚

[@BoundForNowhere]

[@Uprise95341]

Oooh man that new rig looks good👍🏽👍🏽

[@BoundForNowhere]

Thank you so much! Excited to get the video tour live!

[@brotherlove9307]

Very informative video thanks a lot.

[@ellierutten4508]

How long do you guys stay in one spot/campsite/area for, before you move to the next place? Is it once a week you pack up camp? You should consider vlogging! I would be so interested to see your daily adventures, similar to your Oh Canada video! Your videos are phenomenal, you two are talented!

[@BoundForNowhere]

Sadly, I don't think we will move in the direction of vlog style videos just because they can be really invasive into daily life and we like to keep some things to ourselves. However we are talking about doing a day in the life/24hrs of what our life on the road looks like. So there is at least that in the works! Otherwise those are amazing ideas to talk about! Thank you so much!

[@suzyhinnefeld]

Please tell me more about where I can buy a pair of wool overalls because I need them to survive all winters to come.

[@BoundForNowhere]

I bought mine from Woolrich about 2 years ago. I'm not sure if they still have them though :(

[@jessicabowker9050]

Super helpful. I’m finding it so hard to down size my wardrobe and I don’t have a lot already. I just have a lot of random stuff, like 10 hoodies. 12 sets of Panama’s 🤣 6 coats. Why I gotta give up that faux fur one NU!

[@bwildjournals]

Thanks for the packing tips. Very helpful!

[@BoundForNowhere]

Our pleasure!

[@stephanievaldez6924]

Very well said...where did you purchase your wool overalls from?

[@BoundForNowhere]

They are from Woolrich!

[@AlamoCityFishing]

Have you made a video of why you live this lifestyle?

[@BoundForNowhere]

Not yet but that is a great subject to cover!

[@57NUPE]

MAK!!! Thank you (and Owen) so much for the packing tips; I have packing cubes too, but I need to down size a little more But my real question is what were you sitting in??? Did you and Owen already upgrade from the Tacoma to a Pop-up in bed rig?? I saw it in the background and that thing looks HOT!! I know, I know, stay tuned for future video on the new setup. I know that the current one is really tight and you guys were use to more room like you had in the VW and the sunrader (very short time). Thanks again and can’t wait for the new tour!!!!!

[@BoundForNowhere]

I'm so glad that you liked the video! And yes that is a little sneak peak of our new home on wheels! We sadly are waiting to post the video about our new rig in two weeks or so because we are waiting until our personal edits are complete so they can be included in the tour. I hate to leave you hangin like that!

[@jacquelineessling797]

Loved the details of your video but I’m missing the shoes 😁🤷🏻‍♀️

[@BoundForNowhere]

Good point! I will hit that in more detail in another video but we each have a pair of Bedrock Sandals, a pair of tennis shoes, and Water proof boots for cold and wet weather, that's it!

[@Torea-Rodriguez]

@@BoundForNowhere Second request for shoes... mainly storage and how you deal with muddy boots, etc :) Nice job on this video!

Your swimsuits, I identified with so much! I was a swim teacher for many years and I think when you spend so much time in a basic speedo we deserve adorable swimwear!

[@bntravelin2]

EXCELLENT!

[@ThereIsSoulInArt]

I know this is an old video, but I'm hoping you might answer. Great video BTW! The clothing cubes are exactly what I'm looking for. I didn't see any links for the clothing you mentioned however. I would love to check out your clothing suggestions. :-)

[@pierogies_and_pie]

First of all, and this isn't leg humping... wool overalls AND freckles? That makes for an impossibly adorable combination! I'm curious though and I don't know if you've covered this already, but is the Tacoma an interim vehicle for you guys until you figure your next plan or is it something more permanent? Thanks for the video!

[@BoundForNowhere]

Thank you for the kind words! And to answer your question Lando was purchased with the intent that he would be used to hold us over until our next rig was figured out and ready!

[@pierogies_and_pie]

And on that note I snuck a peak at your website and HOLY COW!! Congrats you guys!! Edited to add - Jorge and Jessica... HOLY COW!!

[@slimdog72]

Who's rig is that and what do you do with dirty cloths?

[@BoundForNowhere]

Its ours! More to come on that! And that is a great subject to talk about but we use another compression sack to answer your question now!

[@tinabeane]

Very helpful video, I've been using packing cubes for a while now and love them. That Patagonia Black Hole one is cool, I'll have to check out. How many shoes do you have. Thanks so much! :)

[@BoundForNowhere]

We only have a pair of Bedrock Sandals each, a pair of trail runners, and one pair of wet/winter boots

I am a college student, and i would love to do this in the future, but how do i get the money? What if i have a job laid out for me after college? Do i start my dream job to make some money, and quit?

We both left fulltime jobs that we got after college. We are working on our how we make money on the road video! More to come on that!

Love how you guys keep getting bigger and bigger engines. Ahhh the joys of a V-8! Thanks for all the positive vibes and freckles.

[@BoundForNowhere]

We will definitley be stopping at V8! PS we have never had an engine bigger than a 4 cylinder until now!

[@nolanerunner1]

I really liked your vid Consider folding socks not balling them You could fit more that way Same with clothes Fold like mariekondo rather than rolling and there’s lots more space I don’t know if I want the packing cubes Could u be bothered unzipping each time? I’m opting for soft open cubes but will keep your zippered cubes in mind

[@danstrausbaugh6430]

Why not bring more and use vacuum packed bags you can lay them virtually flat and they are easily reusable

[@BoundForNowhere]

Because it is a pain to have to reseal bags. We enter weather changes so frequently that we need easy access and storability of all of our clothes. We also are trying to be as light as possible for the sake of our vehicle

First you are freaking gorgeous. 2nd if yall are out and see something you really want do yall donate an item to get that item?
