Elle and I occasionally go camping in my hammock and have made some road trips, by car, foot, and bicycle. We like living lightly with few expenses, still focusing on experiences more than possessions we'll have to deal with whenever we move.
I highly recommend testing in your life what you really want/need to be happy, see what possessions prove their worth, what relationships brighten your day. If something isn't helping, reclaim your energy and go on to create whatever you want to try next.
It's not necessary to always do without things. The important part is the relationship you have with yourself and your surroundings and whether you find your center within or outside of you.
