 Hey Y'all!! We're sure this list will change the more/longer we're out there, and we'll update you as things change, but for now here's our Top 5! *None of these are affiliate links. In some instances it's just the closet to what we have that we could find, but I still wanted to include a link. 1) Under Bed Storage - (This is not the exact one we have but was the closest we could find in an online search. I believe ours are from T.J. Maxx or a similar store. They are black, and Velcro closed, the top is not clear.) We've had them for years as under bed storage for larger sweaters, etc. Now, we're each using one for all our clothing and it fits under the front of the bed perfectly.  2) Blackstone 22in - We got extremely lucky and came across one on clearance at our local Walmart for $55 USD. Our only thought as to why is was clearanced out was because of the box damage, but even that wasn't extreme and didn't reach the unit itself. We chose it fo...

 Hey Y'all! Our apologies, but we haven't done anything with the van this week. We've been busy packing, and donating so much we didn't have time. We did take a break since we had errands to run anyhow, we enjoyed the cooler weather, and went on a walk this week in Kingsport ( Greenbelt ). We'll post a short video ASAP. Photo from Greenbelt website. Thanks, The Outlands

 Hey Y'all! Pretty sure packing will never end... We started by clearing out the bathroom closet, and all the items in there. I had already done a bit of it with the last yard sale.  After that we moved to the cabinets. One of us sorted through the medications, and such (keep/toss/pack). The other packed up the hair styling stuff we decided to keep. More trash than we thought there would be.. Just about done here. Top shelf is going with is, same with the towels. The rest of the bottom shelf is trash. They all look like this! All cleaned out! Just one (full) room left, the kitchen. There's also a bit left in every room- like our computers, desks, etc. So close, yet still so far away from done. Thanks, The Outlands

 Hey Y'all! There are a few clips missing from the video, I'm not sure what happened to the files. Air Filter: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mosfizrlunk On this day I also tackled the Exhaust Leak, and the Radiator Flush. The radiator flush was quite the task, and takes forever waiting for it all to cool back down enough to continue. I got it all complete in one afternoon though, simple enough. Thanks, The Outlands 

 Hey Y'all! Here's a current look at our progress... It's a mess. Living Room- Remember the wall of totes? It's been moved to the basement, and most of the basement has been cleared. (Either sold, given away, or donated.) Elsewhere- We listed the books for free, and one lady came to take them all! That made it so much easier. Tea Pots being packed up... Chris' office- Bedroom- The previous update here applies. I finished clearing out the closet, put beyond the DITL blog didn't take any pictures. On the top there is the mountain of potential takes.. It'll have to be cut down some. Beyond that we still have the bathroom and kitchen to go through. The bathroom will be easy since I've done some of it previously. Like last yard sale I grabbed all the towels, and other smaller items I know would go. This is such a looooong process, and we're both worn out from it all. Cleaning, Packing, Decluttering, Planning, plus everyday normal life stuff... Thanks,  T...

 Hey Y'all! So how did the van do? Great! Here's the video explaining that there is no video: I was not in the mood to write this, film, and edit it all myself. In case you can't tell I'm not in a good mood. Sorry. The van did well, and we had no issues. Since I last wrote about it we've changed ALL the fluids, fixed a crack in the muffler, and a few other minor things. Chris has video on his phone, if he ever uploads it remains to be seen.  We also got really lucky with one of these for $6: https://www.igloocoolers.com/products/iceless-40-qt-cooler We've also picked up some folding trays, and other small items. What we learned? Organization is key.  This was a quick trip so we weren't too worried about it, but quickly found out how annoying it was to continue moving things around (mostly the electronics bag). We also learned we really like a certain spot for food storage and prep items. They're out of the way, and easy to get to from inside or out.  W...

 Hey Y'all! Here's our DITL: Wake up, check email, social media, etc. Watch a little YouTube and eat breakfast. Fetch some receipts. Get dressed and ready for the day... getting dressed optional LOL. Started to do makeup, and decided nope, too hot. Chris listed all this for free, and was busy all day with people stopping by, messages, and moving it around. 90% is gone now. YAY! Some Outland Adventures avatars work... Posted to YouTube, as the ending of videos, stickers are in the works. Blog stuff.... like this. Tackling the clothes. What we're keeping, getting rid of, and taking.   SO many socks! First dresser drawer cleared out.. Seriously, more socks?! Vacuum bags from Dollar Tree, lets test them out. Snack break, with Downton Abbey. Chris is still downstairs with people... Gotta get the vacuum in here to suck the air out.. but it seems like it's holding well. More. Dressers are all empty, this basket is going with (not packed like this, just the items). No plans for...
