Can you provide an explanation for the stuffed toy? It must have a special meaning? Or use?
@aprilmoon1509Місяць тому
Enjoyed your video. I'm fascinated by car living - much more stealth than a van. I use my suv for car camping. I enjoy the challenge of making a small space a home away from home. I just bought a cargo carrier that fits in the back hitch of my suv. Can't wait to get on the road again. Oh. by the way - I'm 73 years old - which goes to show car camping is do-able and enjoyable at any age.

In my home in the winter so I don't have to use the AC heat as it's electric I cover myself with a Sherpa blanket and I will be moving into a vehicle in the fall and I have used a small Sherpa blanket when staying overnight in parking at casinos. The bigger Sherpa blanket will wrap around better for winter nights.

I lived in my van for nine months and I really worked on my mindset relative to what society has to say about other people’s lives. I’ve concluded that no one in our society is in a position to judge anyone else. Not one of us is perfect, or lives a perfect life. If we each committed to tend to our own affairs, we have more that a full time undertaking. You do you😊 and let others do themselves.

I’m thinking of car living. I’ve been doing research and it seems everything I find was Van living. I own a 2016 outback and was trying to figure out how I could actually live and work out of it without buying a van. Thank you so much for this tour. You provided me with some inside full no need to get rid of my seats ideas. Great video.

@persona53052 місяці тому
It's really simple. start with the basic, be minimalist as much as possible, save all your cash and figure out as you go. there are a lot of car living in here in youtube. a lot of these van lifers mostly started as car living so watch their old videos.

I will be living in a van I just was able to purchase at a cheap price. Needs lots of work, but it's a place to live since I'm homeless, since i lost my home because of the shutdown, , with multiple disabling conditions. No money, time, nor health to do a build. I love these no build videos

I reckon you could do some how to videos: How to solve the toilet issue How to stay clean How to stay warm How to stay safe How to keep mentally healthy How to keep fit living in your car How to solve the no fridge issues Maybe also another video of how to see living in a car more positively (for those who didn't want to or were forced into it) and maybe even ways of connecting with other car lifers. What I'd love to see is some collab with other car lifers like you, Bren who sort of had to live in their car to get ahead on debt etc). Maybe like a "Chillin' with Bren" video where you just get to know these people and kind of film it as "fly on the wall" style. Glad you're doing well, my man!❤🐢🐢🐢🐢

Much better to wrap the reflectix with black felt (lessens glare) it's also less seen when the window covers are directly against the windows snuggly. The felt can also make them more snug fitting and stay in place. Can always add small magnets as well that terms to hook well to the steel of the door frame. I made my relectixs so well people just thought it was heavy tinting 😅 I also did some with matt black spray paint but i find after awhile it'll start to chip and scratch on the reflectix. Magnets and black felt can easily be found cheaply even at the dollar store as well
