Less clothes..........We are full time and just use what we have in our closet. We travel in cold weather or hot weather, just keep layering. Carry a goose down coat in a stuff sack if needed.Have used several times and goes right back into stuff sack.

Same here. . .  no plastic bins.  Layering is very efficient and creates different outfits. 

 

Ugh!  This is an old thread & I didn't realize I had already replied.

Silk long underwear makes an excellent layer when it's really cold and takes almost no storage space.

I am fulltime. I have just enough clothes to last a week or two. I don’t have any cold weather clothing. When it get cold I head south. That is how I winterize too, just head south. My clothes can never get moldy because I ware them all the time.

I agree with all of the above. However, sitting around a group campfire after dark in the Arizona desert in the winter gets COLD! That where I appreciated my silk long johns as one of my layers. The difference between daytime temperatures and nighttime temperatures surprised me.

Is the AC on all of the time? Plastic bins will hold moisture. I also have very little clothes. All I ever wear is cargo shorts, tee shirts and good flip flops. If I need more then that I stayed to long up north!

My part time homes out west are in fairly dry climates and I never have mold issues with all the clothes I leave hanging in closets there.  But on my sailboat stored in FL for each summer hurricane season, I learned quickly that I needed to store all my clothing & bedding inside those sealed vacuum bags.  you can find them at Walmart or on Amazon and they come in many sizes from small to jumbo.

(well, they must be dry initially)  Plus, it reduces storage area required. All our off-season clothes and shoes will fit in one 40G plastic tub ea. this way.

I'm not sure my entire wardrobe would fill a 40G tub. I am, indeed, a minimalist. :)
