After nine years of van life, including my first messy attempt at packing back in 2016, I\u2019ve learned exactly what clothes and gear you\u00a0actually<\/em>\u00a0need for van life<\/a>.

In this guide, I\u2019ll help you downsize your closet with confidence so you can feel prepared, comfortable, and ready for adventure \u2014 without overflowing cabinets and clutter everywhere. By the end, you\u2019ll know how to create a simple, versatile wardrobe that works\u00a0for an active, outdoor lifestyle on the road. <\/p>\n
