Abroad Reach Travel

There is so much research that goes into the early days of learning to live on a boat. These are some of the books and blogs I learned the most from as I was setting out to learn everything I could about life aboard.

We have over 10,000 nautical miles under our keel, and this list is comprised of the gear we trust to keep us safe for both coastal and near shore cruising!

Everything you need to turn a van into a home on wheels! After two DIY camper van builds, we are confident in the tools, materials, and gear we would use again!

We've lived aboard for five years and, through trial and error, we have narrowed down our kitchen gear to only the things we can't live without. Space saving, low power usage, and durable are the biggest requirements for us. We also look for items that have multiple uses so that we can have as varied a diet as possible even when we are off grid for weeks at a time! These recommendations also work great for your house or apartment!

Everything you need to make life on the road comfortable, efficient, and fun. From cooking essentials to outdoor setups and bathroom solutions, this list highlights vanlife gear that’s practical, space-saving, and road-tested. 🚙
