WOW...I thought I was a good clothes packer from 20 years in the airlines, but you just one upped my game! You could do a whole link section to clothes that don't wrinkle but still look nice. I am saving all these links in my amazon account so I will use them when I add to my truck build. Kudos Lady! Thank you for your generosity of knowledge. Amazing!

[@alexanderweaver4838]

Nicely done! I learned how to pack from my parents, especially my Dad who was also in the military for 30 years. As he packed his duffle and soft bags I would watch him as he got a "ton" of things in the bags. Mom packed her suitcases just like you did in your organizers...amazing how much more you can pack when you roll items rather than fold them. Anyway, you inspired me to repack my two chest of drawers and purge what I do not need or use. Yesterday I installed curtains on my side door and over the back barn doors. It gave the interior a nicer and homier feel. Kudos to you and Marie for providing me ideas. Mahalo!

[@LadyBugout]

Thank you so much, Alexander! Yes, I've picked up those habits from my parents as well. I feel like the more I can simplify my life and surroundings, the more grounded and happy I am!

"I'll see you guys on the road" she said, and was gone. You Lady Dee, are certainly the sort of person I'd like to see on the road. You're such a lively, bubbly, fun sorta girl that i'm sure would match my way of living life . However, unless you ship that ingenious little Red Connect over to Europe, more precisely, to Switzerland, the possibility of "seeing us on the road" are virtually non existant. I don't fly very well (hence the van), but I do eat eggs!! If you should ever get to Switzerland, get in touch. I'd gladly be your travel guide.., that is, my little french van build and I.

Very inspirational. I'm saving up for "Van Life". I do have a question. Have you ever thought of reversing the passenger seat so that it faces backwards? Most seats are only held down by four bolts that are easily removed with a socket wrench. I know some of the old ford econolines had "Captains chairs" that swiveled 180 degrees so you gained the additional space and have a "proper" chair.

[@LadyBugout]

@@LadyBugout I love essential oils. Cedar, lavender, Eucalyptus, Jasmine. What I do is soak cotton balls in the oils and place in a snack size ziplock bag. Or a cotton ball in a sunny window will warm the oil and release the scent.

i use packing cubes for my in season clothes. with a dog and travelling the dusty desert, i couldn't do the simple method you use- too much sand and dust and dog hair 😬.

Yep. Those packing cubes are great.

I absolutely love the jacket that you're wearing in this video with the mesh sleeves and the camo where did you get it or what brand is it?? Also where did you get the dividers for your soft storage bins?

[@LadyBugout]

I get asked that often. It was a gift to me, but I think they said they got it at Nordstrom rack or something like that. Wish I could find them too-I’d love to have a spare in case this one gets too old. I’ve had it for four years and I love it. As for the bins, they came with the dividers in place. It’s just fabric which I like because it has some give to it.

I really think it's great how organized you are. It's frustrating for me because I have never been able to do that. I use medium canvas bags, open on top with handles. Not the best system but gets me by. Please don't shame me. I'm sensitive.

Hey, I’m for whatever works!🤗
