EVERYTHING WE PACKED
Packing for a work trip is hard. Packing for a camping trip is hard. Packing for a day-trip is even hard. Turns out, packing for a work/camping/road trip is also hard — very hard.
To help us (and maybe even others) strategically pack rather than just throwing everything in that fits, we decided to document EVERYTHING we put in our Airstream as we set off from Michigan out into the rest of the country.
Below is a FULL list of everything we packed. Some of these items have been selected to provide a variety of photoshoot props, so this is not a complete representation of the “on the road” trip essentials.

CLOTHING & FOOTWEAR (KENDRA)

Maybe.
If you ever want to feel blessed, fortunate, and more grateful for the things you have in your life, make a list of everything you own. Even living in such a limited space, we still carry A LOT of stuff around with us in life — still much too much in my opinion.
Hopefully this exercise will remind us all of the truly important things in life, which tend not to ever be THINGS.
