Thanks for watching! Links to Lesa's gear are in the video description, and you can check out her channel here: ukposts.info -Tristan

Lesa is the most generous person I know. When my son was being harassed by insects she gave him her mosquito hoodie. She gives of herself by making coffee for groups, and she teaches cast iron cooking. Love to you, Lesa.

Dang, this woman is ingenious! Just when you thought that was it.. she just keeps pulling out more and more inventive things out of that tiny SUV!

Thanks, Tristan, for allowing Lesa to give a tour. She has a lot of ideas that are helpful for someone starting out. I appreciate how you don't interrupt your guests and let them roll with the info.

Did you know you can use a pool noodle from a dollar store cut down the long ways & put it on a bucket for a comfy potty. I love your set up & would do the same if I was younger. I'll be 76 years old in January. You've used every space so you have lots of nice & handy things. I live in Northern New York so I couldn't live in a car in the winter. Plus I'm married so i'd need a carrier for the top of my car for him. lol

I seen her on Bob Wells n have always wondered about her n how shes doing. Thank you for showing us this video. Sweet! Good to know shes still rocken it! 😊

Well this was astonishing. I camp in my small Subaru Crosstrek, and this was one of the best vids I've seen yet for small car tips. Thank you Tristan! Thank you Lesa!

Lesa was a fun interview. Lol. She wasn’t shy about talking about anything at all. She sure told you about everything and anything she uses. Next time you might want to get her viewpoint on the ups and downs of being a nomad especially the challenges a middle aged single woman might have to face on her own.

Lesa an amazing example of joyous, minimalist living. Lots to learn from her. Thank you for doing this interview.

I just love this woman. She’s got everything she needs and is surprisingly organized for a compact suv! I’m gonna sub to her right now!

I love simple quirky things like that folding fire pit! Very clever!

How resourceful & wonderful attitude Lesa has ~ ! Can the rest of us be so content with so little ?!

I've been using baking soda/apple cider vinegar for hair washing for years - feels great and only needed once a week or 10 days

Simply Lesa is Simply creative, resourceful, efficient, adorable.

Thr amount of ingenuity is through the roof. Necessity is surely the mother of invention. Great vlog. Thank you.

Thanks for the tour, Lesa. And thanks, Tristan, for dedicating a long video to it. There are so many rigs out there that we can't see them all in this much detail, but this one was well worth it, both to see the items Lesa has and hasn't included, *and* to see a little of the thought process and attitude that went into her choices. There's a lot to learn from this tour, so thanks to you both for sharing it!

I have mental health problems fron the army, Vietnam messed me and my buddies up. I live in my '05 jeep TJ full time, I go to my daughter's whenever things get tough. I enjoy it, but the life isn't for everyone.

I am gobsmacked at her organization for all of her setup! Love it!

Lol, Lisa’s great. She’s a no muss-no fuss kind of person, and love that. You don’t have to agree with her ways, but she’s firm and confident in her ways of doing things. Gotta love that👍👍😂

Such a normal person living the life she wants. I love it.

I have been following Lesa for a few years. She has a lot experience as a nomad and offers many useful tips on that lifestyle.

Your such a great host & cameraman, Tristan ! Really enjoyed this!

Wow and I thought my ride was little. Thats a lot of things that fit in that car. Thank you for finding lesa awesome lady.

She sure is thorough in explaining her build and I like her thermo-pot by Little Chef.

She has some energy, love it😱 More gr8 content MrT.

Man Lesa, you are good,. You didn't miss a beat. Thanks for sharing all your ideas with us. Safe travels 😮

What fun! What a great gal. I love how she has everything she needs and in such a small space - very organized! And no building required. Not everyone has building skills or tools or even the inclination to build a set up. Just give me the stuff and a way to squish it all in there! 🤓

I actually just bought 3 similar ammo boxes for my roof. Lol. Lesa sure has minimalism down pat. 👍

Lesa has it down. Geo Trackers were underrated. They were popular in Hawaii back in the day. I once lived out of an 86 Jeep CJ-7 for a couple of years and had a similar setup. I had a custom-built storage box in the rear. It had lift supports and an additional hinged wood piece on top that folded out the back creating a nice bed. Having had lockers on the axles I could camp anywhere. Had my mountain bike and a surfboard with me too.

Bow down to Lesa 🙏

Bring the Suzuki Jimny back to the USA! But it's awesome to see someone who not only still owns an older/rebranded one, but lives it in. Something very memorable about this one.

Absolutely brilliant presentation, so nicely composed and narrated! 👏👏

Love the potty tent! She has clever ideas worth exploring. Thanks again Tristan!

Simply Lesa, thank you so much for your Tracker Tour. Was actually fun as well as informative hearing and seeing how you've made your cool rig into your special Tracker. Seems that everyone that likes and enjoys the mobile camping/living in their rigs has their own creativity as to how they set up their rig just the way it works best for them. Really enjoyed your tour . . . Happy Trails to You, Lesa ! ( BTW: That PrivyTent was my favorite item... How Handy is THAT! Easy to pack... Easy to use... and Good to Have! )

You can tell how passionate she is about teaching people what she knows! Love her vibe!

I remember Lesa from a Bob Wells video a few years back. You were just getting started, Lesa, and on a really small budget. Youve cone a long way, it looks like. And now I'm inspired to keep trying for full-time.

Now that was a detailed tour. She is a hoot

I love how Lesa is very practical

The trick with using pots on camp fires is coat them with dish soap first. Then the black washes right off without scrubbing

Lesa is a rockstar ❤🎉

Will Lesa read this? Your hair looks pretty and that hat is very fashionable, btw. I used to know how to make a potatoe on a campfire. I'm earning how to again with my indoor stove fire because I learned that potatoes are great for health & weight loss & budgeting. Weight has as much to do with stress as sweets (insulin is a stress reaction). Thanks for sharing and good luck!

This lady is very interesting and savvy too. She has a good setup.

Nomad Bob from the CheapRVLiving started the trend where everyone appearing on UKposts feels the need to tell us how they go to the bathroom. 😊

Lesa clearly enjoys creatively figuring out camping tetris. Love it!

I would like to see how Lesa washes her hair, it is so thick! Great set up and so many great ideas!

One of the best setups I’ve seen!!!👍🏻

I stumbled upon this channel tonight and I was so hooked! I immediately subscribed to Lesa's channel as well. I completely enjoyed this, I like to keep things simple too. Thank you both for sharing this video and offering such good information to viewers!

Love this video! Lesa is one of the most resourceful people I have ever seen! Way to Go!

I have a 2002 Kia Sportage 2 door that's very similar. I'm 6' and I can sleep on the passenger side with about 3" to spare. Instead of a board, I have a custom piece of foam that fills the space on the seat and my headrest is removable so I have another piece of foam that fills the gap. I use an inflatable mattress on top and it's very comfortable. I have a little pop-up tent that I store extra things to make room in the back. I also have a hard top (I think it's the same brand) and I have a mesh cargo attic that I keep the pop-up, foam, and other light weight stuff in.

I always love your approach to interviewing and showcasing them. Thank you Tristan. You, Bob Wells and Chrome/Vancity Vanlife were the ones that helped me survive and thrive in my old Nissan Altima through the pandemic and now in my current little Hyundai Ioniq hybrid.

While it makes my Prius feel like a castle, she is surprisingly uncrowded in there. Many brilliant thoughts and methods, some obvious, some not. "Why do I need curtains? I'm not naked in there." Deciding which stuff can be safely stored outside without worrying much about it getting stolen. Choosing storage (ammo box and tool bag) to level her bed. Putting travel stickers on door jambs and inside of doors, rather than the exterior. Resizing a cardboard box and adding contact paper to make a silverware drawer or other custom-sized compartment. Insulated cookie sheet (I have one kicking around) as stove platform. 64oz Ozark Trails insulated stainless bottle and gallon Ziplocs for gathering ice from soda machines. Thermos Shuttle Chef. Good stuff! The yellow bottle of HEET alcohol-stove fuel is methanol. While the liquid is toxic and causes blindness if you drink it, it burns very well and very clean, so I do use it as fuel for my own alcohol stoves. Probably 15 years ago, I bought 12 one liter bottles of 190 proof Everclear drinking alcohol (95% ethanol) for use while backpacking so that I didn't have to worry about spilling it on food, etc. I got it on sale for about $20/bottle at a NJ grocery store, and still have 11 of the 12 bottles. I extremely rarely use it, only when truly in a tight spot as far as carrying just enough food and fuel, and wanting it for first aid use also. For car camping, the yellow HEET methanol from any Wal-Mart is much cheaper and actually burns better/cleaner than anything else. I travel with 2 brass alcohol stoves the size of little soda-can stoves but with more features. When one runs out of fuel, I swap in the other, so that I don't ever get tempted to refill a hot stove.

Lesa has certainly utilized her space super efficiently... Simply delightful!! I will be following you for sure . I am 63 yr old gal with a van...

This woman is amazing!! Such a cool setup. Extremely impressive!!!

most people complain their car is not big enough and here this wonderful resourceful lady lives in tiny car.Amazing!

I love seeing people in unique rigs like this!!

Love Lesa’s presentations. She is organized with her thoughts and overall chat of her vehicles. Love the Private Privvy covering. Clever. I like when Lesa shows the details of her possessions, especially what’s inside all the containers. Very helpful for my future travels. Thanks Lesa and Tristan!

WOW! Everything but the kitchen sink! I loved this interview! Thoroughly covered everything you actually need to live in your vehicle! Thanks for all of this incredible information! I’m going to watch it again! ⛺️🚙

A completely Great lady who is an inspiration! Don’t ever change Lesa!!

love the tips, alternatives for making do. seeing things is nice but the handy tips really makes it. i love seeing this aspect of this way of being shared as not everyone has a stack of savings to build out a nomadic space.

Thank you so much for sharing Lisa with us. She is such a beautiful person, and I'm so sorry about her diagnoses, but hopefully, she can fight it with her diet. And I hope everyone will get together and send out prayers for her. I've already sent out a prayer for her. She seems like such a lovely woman. I can't wait to start watching her videos. Thank you so much for doing this video with her. You are awesome, sir, and so is she. God bless y'all Keep adventuring 🤗hugs🤗

I appreciate common sense and organization. Lesa has both in spades. I usually stop watching half way thru but I watched the entire episode! Thank you! Will watch her own channel now!

Wow, what a great person she is, I love the ingenuity that she has put into her rig. Well done.

This is my second video I watched of Lesa and she is so great with telling you the name and the brands of all these awesome items she's found. Thank you Lesa!

This is a very useful video for us two-door small SUV'ers. I thought I had all of the useful gadgets, but Lesa proved me wrong. That Insta Privy tent is outstanding and Lesa will be getting some "pennies" from Amazon when I purchase the kit today. I have a two-door Jeep Wrangler and have not resolved the issue of sleeping flat without removing the front passenger seat. The Jeep seats only recline about25 degrees. I am 5'9" and need to stretch out due to arthritis. One question is: who services her Tracker? Parts? She has the first generation of the Tracker, since in 1999, new models came out. Thank you for this SUV review.

❤ thank you for Sharing 😊 so much needed information ❤ A great video that can help alot of newbies get started ... and budget friendly!! Blessings ❤️

This is amazing. Have seen her in another vehicle, but this is another level!😊

Good morning Tristan & Lesa ! Thanks for sharing your little home with us ! A lot of creative ideas & neat products ! Liked the way you also informed us on pricing as you went along. May Nature continue to Bless you both with many new Adventures ! Safe travels & keep smiling !

Regarding the fire pit? I like it!!! I believe she can create an interlocking grid with those hairpins. -- Lay one hairpin across with the "legs" going left-to-right -- Lay the other hairpin with the "legs" going right-to-left -- Interlace the inner "legs" (...kind of like interlocking your fingers...) That would create a 4-rod grid which could probably hold a steak or a even small pan. Notes: -- might need to cut off a *short* piece of the inner leg on each of the hairpins to allow maintaining the reach-across when interlaced and allowing the locking-hump to be engaged. [Lay them out *before* cutting so the correct ones get shortened!] -- might add a heat resistant spacer/holder to keep them securely apart/together...

Bless her sweet heart!!! One just hopes she is safe, regains her health and is able to live a comfortable life - whether traveling or in her cabin... Thanks, Tristan, for the interview ....

To see the small size vehicle she has is amazing. Very impressive that it works well for her. For a simple life, it works well. Kudos and safe traveling.

I had a Tracker & never thought of it as a SUV. It was a really great car.

Lady you rock I can't believe the build you got it's fantastic for a smaller car i'll be following you on your channel great tips Thanks a lot Lisa

Great tour and interview! I appreciate the reference to go light and travel often. Reminds me of the phrase from the sailing community "Go Simple, Go Small, Go Now".

Pause, fast forward, … come on people. You’ve got way more control than you believe. Thanks for the great video full of useful information.

Giggling about the InstaPrivy cover balanced on ones head to go potty! Amazing how much can fit in that tiny vehicle. I was 5'7" and am now 5'5.5" at 77:) I am also carnivore, mostly lion but also eggs:)

Your camper setup is a true work of art!

Thank you for another great tour. I love Lesa. We used to lay the seats down and see if we could fit and sleep in a vehicle when we were looking at purchasing a vehicle... it is best not to do that in a car dealership showroom.... Find a part near the dealership to do that...

I'm soooooo impressed with her ability to find double/triple uses for everything!! Very efficient!

Really enjoyed Lesa and her vehicle.

This is good. Thanks y’all💙

I love the details she gives when she speaks. She is giving us all the gems with no reservation 😊❤

this chick just gets better n better everytime i see her. i feel like she could handle anything that came along.....easily. great video

Lots of great ideas, helpful that she indicated costs, too. Brilliant solutions to address basic needs on the road. Safe travels!

she's so cool.

It always amazes me how creative every one can get. Great job, Simply Lesa!

Wow, great organization! Glad the citronella bands help her, mine did nothing for me, or the family.

This was somehow both utopian and dystopian at the same time. Take my upvote!

Hi! Lesa good to see you again. Love this rig and all your things you use to make it easier.

❤ Lesa is so innovative and I love to watch how people can put their camping gear and beds and everything they need to make it just right in their own vehicle. So smart thank you for sharing her rig. 😊

She is awesome. Thank you!

Love the privy tent and the mini fire pit.

Harbor freight chairs are wonderful. Aluminum frame and canvas is light snd sturdy.

I saw Lesa’s rig at the RTR this year. It was awesome and so is she! Thanks Tristan!

So Cool! I have a 1997 Suzuki Sidekick. Same vehicle but i only use it for the beach.

She is so organized and she knows just what she needs and how to use it and how to get to it. She knows how to make it all work for just a small space. I just subscribed.

This woman is a 10 ! So positive and happy... and no nonsens... I'm sorry but I'm used to be with people who have more problemes then solutions offerd by who ever...

You have the best ideas I've seen yet especially for someone on a budget no frills compact and simple I watched to the end and even made a list of what you showed ... excellent advice for living with the comforts I want living in a vehicle two thumbs up great stuff thank you!!

The video is informative, interesting for older folks like me who is considering going on the road. Very real personable presentation of information that i enjoyed.

This is so smart and such a great tour. I’m grateful! ❤

Lots of tips and tricks i never thought of! Thanks Lesa 😊
