Vandwelling is no small feat . Well , technically , it is a small feat . ( And beneficial to those with small feet--all those shoes have to go somewhere .)
The fact is , it ’ s remarkably complex to live with such simplicity . Imagine : everything you own , folded , rolled and stuffed into a vehicle no bigger than a minivan . Step one , as you might guess , is to own less . The Great Shoe Cull of 2016 truly was something to behold , and we did have to discard a bunch of mugs ( why did we have so many mugs ?).
