How to Pack, Prep & Mentally Prepare

I always start with a list. I am a “list person” in life in general. I have different journals that I keep different aspects of my life in. And then I have a master list. In my master list, I will write something like, “pack for camping”, which will then lead me to my camping/travel notebook. This is where I will break it all down, literally item by item of things to pack, categories in which they naturally fall into, this notebook is also where I start “building trips”.

When you first start out the gate on loading up your trailer, it will be overwhelming, and probably pricey, kind of like planning your wedding. What’s cool is usually you have most these items on-hand at home: Tools, pans, can opener, tape, pillows and on…

I have lists that are items that are to: “To Live in the Camper” - sunscreen, bug spray, different types of tape, velcro and earthquake puddy, batteries, DVDs, art supplies, etc. I will make you a list.

Rollups, lists, waxing, lists, charged batteries, lists.
