Over my three decades of vehicle-based and overland travel, one thing I’ve learned is keeping my gear organized is critical. There’s nothing more frustrating than trying to find an item at basecamp only to not know where it is or worse yet, if it was packed at all. As such, I’ve developed a system of labelling my various cargo carriers, bags, drawers, and boxes so that I know exactly what is in them. This has helped immensely in reducing my stress and anxiety at a time when I want to relax and be outdoors.
