    I think I had my happy early, and he was too perfect. Knew the worst thing about me and still made me feel like the best thing to ever happen to him. Now he's gone to the next life and honestly, it's hard not to hold guys up to him. Probably not fair, so all I have read here is telling me to...

    My Daddy Always Said

    My dad took us on hunting trips and would leave me (only girl) in the cabin cuz I was too little. I'd cry it was boring.. If you can't stand your own company a couple days, imagine how other folks feel around you.

    33-year-old woman who tried the nomadic lifestyle and ended up broke

    Everything seems to come down to practical and mental preparation for this lifestyle. I'm still learning my smart phone and my brother is coming to teach me this laptop he got me, as I never was very tech. But I'm so grateful for sites like this, with experienced nomads giving real solutions and...

    I think yuns that said it's about your expectations are mostly right. I know I am not in my van life yet, but I'm going to be as soon as I can, God willing. I do think Bob W actually convinced me when he said people who think it will fix everything will fail. You still take all that with you...

    Isn't it nice when it seems like something seems to be saying We are on the right course? That's my perspective lately, maybe it's just this strange positivity that's with me now lol I like it!

    I am taking a pause from my usual routine of work, come home and work on must have van stuff or research. I'm so excited since I made up my mind but I don't want to take all the fun out of it. I'm going to do some painting and decorating when I get home today, maybe the totes I have. Something...

    Wow I read too many threads on here ... I take two steps closer to my goal and get more questions answered, and it's Awesome. Then I read a bit, and ten new questions pop up for me lol Now I have to rethink getting a pet, since I want the company but I don't think it would be fair to them. Maybe...

    1 pair of socks – 18 crates

    Well I am going to have to cover the whole thing, protect from moths and critters. I think we just tweak it as we go, and find a lot of what doesn't suit us first! But have fun in the attempts!

    1 pair of socks – 18 crates

    Just milk crates/totes and I am trying out a bar between two stacks for work clothes. Roll is just laying out the outfit in one neat pile and rolling it, my kid calls it ranger roll..active army. Very rough, still working it out

    1 pair of socks – 18 crates

    I'm writing on tape til I get my system memorized, but I ranger roll my day's outfit all together and just pick a roll. But I'm using milk crates with cloth totes, so it's like drawers. With Velcro.

    Haha I had to Google that....don't judge, I worked long hours this last week....I felt so stupid when ratchet straps popped up on my voice to text....duh 🙄 Made myself feel better by attacking my kitchen downsizing project, lol. Amazing how much stuff I accumulated...but I'm wondering if...

    So much to learn, I'm glad I have the time to research and read all that's already been talked over in here. I may need a knee replacement, so while all that's sorting itself out, I tried out some diy solar ovens, and a dehydrator. Pretty good. Built a compost toilet and working out different...
