They are concrete, they are concentrated and you can soak up a ton of helpful information in just a few minutes. Once you’re on the road, you can also use BNP’s traveler’s network to borrow from locals items that you may only need for a short time, which makes it easier to let go of more! The Buy Nothing Project encourages neighbors to freely share from their abundance through listing items they no longer want or use in hopes that someone nearby could use it. But I’ve also enjoyed giving away things through my local Buy Nothing Project community. Or, if I have household goods as well, I find a Goodwill donation center where I can drop off a few bags. I usually just toss clothing and shoes into one of those donation boxes you see everywhere. Because somebody, somewhere could really use what’s just taking up space in your RV.

If you’re a recreational enthusiast, you’re in luck because a lot of what I’m going to share will help simplify your life too. If you’re a full-time RVer, you’re in luck because these tips are for you. We have everything we need and nothing we don’t want.” And that gives us time and space and money for the things we love to do and the places we get to see along the way.
