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.
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
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 ;)
@@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.
@@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.
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
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.
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.
@@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!!!
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
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😁
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
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!
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!
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!
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!
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.
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!
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!
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.
WELL DONE. very well organized, thought-out, smart and YOU are very well spoken and 'Present', most excellent. (no, UHms etc) I expect 100K subs in less than 2 years.
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?
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!
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!
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!
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!!!!!
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!
Waaaaaiiit a minute, there is something different here. New camper-shell on Lando? New tires on Lando? New paint on Lando? No....... new "Lando"! :-) Look forward to the update!!
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. :-)
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! :)
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
@@BoundForNowhere - appreciate the confirm. So you all have a slide in truck camper now. I follow all your videos and the last one was the tour of the topper over the truck bed. Anyway, congrats. The confidence really comes across in your videos. Wish you both the best.
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

Sounds like packing cubes might work in your house too ;)
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.
You're welcome! I hope you have a blast out there!
Love the amazing quality of the videos and their editing and transitions! One of my favorite channels. Pro level stuff here!
We so greatly appreciate that!

Very very true! It's amazing how little we miss having a larger wardrobe!
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.
Thank you so much! We have that on our list of videos to do! Thank you for the great suggestion!
Wow! That rig is a step up from the previous camper shell.
Yes! Sorry about that! More details to follow on our huge life update!
Cant wait to see the new rig
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!
wow, I thought they were content with the red rig.
I love a good packing video! Especially when it’s packing for your whole life!!!
Yessss!
I love ur guy’s channel
Please also continue to leave bloopers at the end. Getting a good laugh in is so nurturing to the soul :)
Thank you! I can make that happen!
Always great and informative! Can’t wait for the new rig tour.

Nice upgrade.....The color looks better too!
Thank you so much!
Very Informative. You pack a lot more than I would have thought you could! Thans Mak and Owen!

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

Congrats on the camper
Thank you! We hope to have the tour and explanation video out in about two weeks!
Thanks so much for sharing this! #VanLife is a balance of practical and pleasure! Keep up the videos and instagram. I'm a fan...
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!
whao..I cannot wait to see the new rig!!!
We can't wait to show you!
Owen made a boo boo. He should've said that you were his treat yourself something ! Dang it Owen !
HAHAHHAHAH I would have died laughing!
This was PERFECT thank you so much for this video ❤️
Glad we could help!

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

Oooh man that new rig looks good👍🏽👍🏽
Thank you so much! Excited to get the video tour live!

Awesome! Glad to hear that!

@@BoundForNowhere Second request for shoes... mainly storage and how you deal with muddy boots, etc :) Nice job on this video!
Bound For Nowhere Thanks for the answer! Please keep creating content like this, it’s a big inspiration!
@@jacquelineessling797 I really appreciate that!
EXCELLENT!
That's good advice for people who have two walk in closets packed full, and nothing to wear . . . ;-)

We think it will be live in 2 weeks. Sorting through the last of our personal edits then we will get it live!
@@BoundForNowhere Gee Wiz...hurry up! :) That thing is SICK!
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.
We will definitley be stopping at V8! PS we have never had an engine bigger than a 4 cylinder until now!
Very informative video thanks a lot.
WELL DONE. very well organized, thought-out, smart and YOU are very well spoken and 'Present', most excellent. (no, UHms etc) I expect 100K subs in less than 2 years.
Haha thank you so much! I'm a passionate packer ;)
thank you!! I'll be living in a van soon and this really helps!

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!
Please tell me more about where I can buy a pair of wool overalls because I need them to survive all winters to come.
I bought mine from Woolrich about 2 years ago. I'm not sure if they still have them though :(

Consider folding socks not balling them
You could fit more that way

Fold like mariekondo rather than rolling and there’s lots more space

Could u be bothered unzipping each time?
I’m opting for soft open cubes but will keep your zippered cubes in mind
Whoa.....what happened to "Lando" ??
Did I miss an episode??
More info on that soon!
Lando was fixed up like a wahmen on the cosmetics. NO need to check drive train n motor.are there room for shoes.lol
Can’t believe you call that a tiny wardrobe!
Have you made a video of why you live this lifestyle?
Not yet but that is a great subject to cover!
Who's rig is that and what do you do with dirty cloths?
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!
20 to 9! MAK wins! It was pretty funny how you said Owen only has 9 pairs of underwear :-).
I know! I laughed when Owen told me he only had 9 pairs (face in palm)
Can you try on all these clothes for us?0
Very well said...where did you purchase your wool overalls from?
They are from Woolrich!
Very good insight. Look like your sitting in a popup truck camper. Am i correct?
You are correct!
@@BoundForNowhere - appreciate the confirm. So you all have a slide in truck camper now. I follow all your videos and the last one was the tour of the topper over the truck bed. Anyway, congrats. The confidence really comes across in your videos. Wish you both the best.
New overlander? BITCHIN!
It is! Can't wait to give you guys a tour!
Those freckles. Damnit. So pretty.
Did you get a new rig? A pop up truck camper?
We did!
I wish I needed 20 swimsuits, thats a good problem to have. I have about 20 winter jackets depending on how wintery it is.
Also where’s the black tank top from?
Rig update cant come soon enough.
We're stoked!
As I have clothes in my wardrobe older than you guys are, this would be very hard...
Wow she’s so beautiful no make up she’s natural I’m in love!
Shoes?
Why doesn't Owen make an appearance
Camera shy
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?
Yes! We absolutley do! We are so limited in our space that it physically doesn't fit! So we try to let one thing go before bringing in something else!
@@BoundForNowhere also when do we hey the walk around of the new rig and home ?
Two weeks!
@@BoundForNowhere we will be waiting
What are you guys in now
That's over 400 dollars in clothing storage bags . I'm stunned
Why not bring more and use vacuum packed bags you can lay them virtually flat and they are easily reusable
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
Weird to talk about cloth we want to see the truck the rig camper
We are waiting until a few more edits are done before we give the grand tour!
RUclips played a Kardashian ad for me on this video.🤷♂️
