First, you commit to van life.
Then, you pick out your vehicle and start the process of creating your ultimate home on wheels.
You put the key in the ignition, wave good-bye to stationary life, and head on down the road.
You may not be sure what to pack for your new lifestyle. After all, who knows what lies ahead in destinations unknown?
Author Kristine Hudson is a voice of reason from the unknown. As a "been there, done that" van dweller, she has some notes to share with those who are drawn to the nomadic lifestyle. Before you hit the road, think about the following:
✓ Have you considered what you'll do if you get sick on the road?
✓ Do you know what to pack in case of emergencies?
✓ What thought have you given towards meals?
✓ Are you ready to face the barrage of new insects, pollens, wildlife, and scenarios that await you?
If you're worried there's something you haven't thought of when preparing for life on the road...
If you're not sure what to do about doctor's appointments, dental care, and prescriptions while you're away from home...
If you think you'll just "take care of it" whenever an emergency pops up...
This book will help you gain a firm grasp of all the good intentions that are left behind when we head out for a rugged and glorious van lifestyle. From figuring out how to receive basic preventive care on the road, to food prep and storage, and everything in between, Kristine Hudson provides a comprehensive look at all of the things about health and wellness that are quickly forgotten in the quest for true freedom. Whether you're just starting to question how you'll maintain your physique on the road, or starting to fret about maintaining a chronic condition while you're on the roam, this book provides hints and tips hand-selected from the author and legions of other van lifers.
Filled with true stories and supportive tricks from wanderers with decades of combined experience, this book won't replace your first-aid kit...but it will help you remember to pack one in the first place.
