It's fixed in this moment in time and we can only live in this moment in time. No one can live in the moment that doesn't exist yet. So people live their truth today and if it changes at some point, they live it at that point.

I'm going to agree to disagree.

Do you actually do this? Do you never get tired? Do you never get tired of people? I always thought this might be possible if you're only in the boonies but I don't see how it's possible if you're in the city. My car is where I hang when I'm tired, when it gets dark, when I'm sick, when there...

Maybe. I can only go by my experience. What works for one person will get the next one killed so I think people need to do what's true for them. Take care.

Go to YouTube. I typed in vanlife couple and there were 1000 different videos that popped up.

That's not accurate. The unit doesn't run continually. It cycles on and off. Based on an average, a 5000 BTU window air conditioner uses 4 to 5 amps an hour. A 400 amp hour system should be able to power a 5000 BTU window unit just fine with plenty of amps to spare. Refrigerators are the same...

So bad ass! 😍 I so need this example of an empowered woman living her truth in the world, especially when I'm full of self-doubt and trying to overcome the societal brain washing of women shouldn't be too much. I just got booted from a vanlife group for losing my cool after 2 women started...

I have the First Alert fire extinguisher for cars. It's small and easy to store. I think it's a B:C fire extinguisher. First Alert Fire Extinguisher, Car Fire Extinguisher, Red, AUTO5 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000P0DPGQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apan_glt_i_F01J272YD9E31588K15V?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

Very true. Loneliness and feeling disconnected from the people you love can definitely be a con of this lifestyle. A lot of people don't realize how much they need the daily consistency of family and friends and chatting over zoom isn't the same. I love traveling and I love being with people who...

I don't know what would be risky about it but it's an option that served me well for years. Now I'm going with the camp heater but I'm definitely considering it during the summer.

You don't have to be crazy to live this lifestyle, just adventurous. It's definitely a good idea to try out this life before you hop into it. Too many people just assume they're going to love it, spend months to years building out a van, then decide it's not for them months into the journey...

That's awesome. I really hope she never has anything happen and that she can keep that mindset forever. I'm in a number of women's groups and a lot of women have that mindset. The common denominator for all of them is that nothing has ever happened to them. It's easier to have that mindset when...

I'm sorry but I can't follow or understand your thought process here. All I can say is there are people eating 2 bowls of rice a day because that's all they have. You have to do what your have to do to live. Take care.

Your car needs to be running if you're going to run anything significant off it. A heater is significant. Insignificant is something like a phone or fairy lights. I have a small camping heater that runs off propane for heat in my SUV but when I lived in my car, I just ran my car and used my...

My clothes are in a tote under my bed. Dirty clothes will be in a sack in the same tote.

I always ask 1. How do you feel about people? 2. What makes you feel good about you? and 3. Can you deal with hanging out in a small space for hours at a time? 1. Living vanlife is a life lived outdoors and in public spaces. 2. If someone needs things and material positions to feel like they're...

I have ADHD and you sound a lot like me. I cut off all my app notifications so the only ones I get are my Google calendar. I can't just drop what I'm doing and do something else so I have a notice for my notices. An example would be if I have to leave at 3:30 for a 4 pm appointment, I'll have...

In one case they beat on the woman's van and then broke her passenger window to get into the van. She finally got to her gun and pulled it. When they backed away, she hopped into the driver's seat and left. The other is a woman on YouTube. The man harassed her, beat on her car, and when she...

Welcome and I think it's awesome you're all about living your life to the fullest. Getting a loan on your condo to buy your rig and then renting out the condo to pay off your loan is genius. If I decide to keep traveling, I'm going to get a roommate, which will pay most of my mortgage.

I just have a few things in a ziplock bag. I'm all about prepping for everything and anything - my house reflects this tendency - but in my little SUV without the seats removed, I've learned to look at what's probable and necessary. Everyone's suggestions are going to be great if I ever move...
