Going Mobile: Day Zero
First recording, documenting the launch of the migration to mobile living. Covers initial mindset, thought process and approach.
Notes
Objectives:
- Off-grid, self-sustaining van
- 100% modular and mobile
- Live, sleep, cook, eat, etc.
- Everything else in the workspace
- Truly an office, not a living space
- All sentimental items in ~4-6 milk crates
- Contained enough to fall back to a 2nd storage locker
- Storage is only for infrastructure assets
- Stronghold and safekeeping of rarely used gear
- Everything should be moveable in the van
- Ideally, able to transport the whole in 2 trips or less
Layers:
- Brain, Body and EDC (Every Day Carry)
- Backpack / BOB (Bug Out Bag)
- Vehicle – Van Living (& Gym Membership)
- Workspace – Office Space
- Storage – Storage Locker
WORK: everything in a container or bag… “a place for everything, and everything in its place”… WORK: Where you “live” is defined by where you eat and where you sleep. WORK: Gym membership… WORK: link back to Going Mobile main page… WORK: add disclaimers to videos and site, for all…
