The "humble" Tacoma. Specifically in my case, a 2018 Taco TRD-OR. It's a glorified ATV in what i ask it to do. Trails? Check. Power lines? Check, Rock gardens? Pain... but check? "you put THAT through THERE?"? Check.

| 2018 TRD OR, 16" Pro Comp 7069 rims wrapped with 255/85R16 Cooper ST MAXXs, Offcamber Sliders, RCI Skids, Subaru Tweeters, GM Bump stops, Ford switches, and Chevy bed bolts. because DiVeRsiTy. |
Additionally, attached a roof top tent i dub HOBORTT. or Hobo-Roof-Top-Tent.
Built only from the finest Cabela's tent-cot materials, a handful of U-bolts and some rubber pads, and it sits in the back like it's nobody's business.

| With a Custom Made Bed rack using L-track (O-track, Airline track, Circle track, etc... there are many names for this.) Loaded up with a water can bungee strapped to the Backrack for dear life (i'm surprised it held on) and some (utterly useless) Traction boards! |
After many years of playing video games, one gets pretty good at playing tetris. So Packing the morning of the trip is always a pleasure. 1PC, a few air-line approved luggage boxes, duffle bags, and plastic totes. Oh did i mention the Kitchen sink? yeah that's in the bed....

| Water bottles; the ultimate in water storage and in never staying in the bag(?) it came in... 2 gallons of water per person per day. |
Except this game of tetris is called "relocating to another part of the country". So you have a bit of time to organize yourself, but certainly a game you'll be playing along the entire journey. Lots of adjustments will happen, placing things in different bags and boxes just to find out what is needed immediately and what isn't.

| Stuffed more than some videos i've watched... People still watch Epic Meal Time right? |
Have shower bags in one container and clothes in another? Just pull everything out and shuffle it to what works. The great thing about using a vehicle to traverse the country - it's the unlimited carrying capacity.
So dont be afraid to pull it all out all at once, reshuffle, play the hokey pokey, and shake it all about, and that's how you pack for a trip with too much stuff!.
