Hey everyone, I’ve been using the laundry mat, and one day I noticed I pulled my clothes out of the dryer and they smelt musky and gross. At that time I was trying to wash without detergents.  I have since changed laundry mats and use Tide laundry detergent. At first I wondered if it was from...

Thanks guys! I’m using a -40C sleeping bag with a blanket at my feet, and I sleep with slippers that used to make my feet sweat.... but of course those used to be worn in a heated house... very different situation now ;) I’m glad you guys agree about the insulation, I have some reflectix...

Apparently wind chill is -22!

Good morning. It’s about -13 degrees Celsius outside. The cold woke me up early. My toes/feet are sooo cold they hurt. The rest of my body is fine because it doesn’t lay in the trunk area...plus the dog snuggles against me inside my sleeping bag.  The trunk seems to be the problem. Anyone...

Indeed! I don’t bring it up with many people. Only a couple of people in my family know because the others will certainly complain. I’m sorry to hear about your friend! One of mine has admitted that she supports me if I truly believe this will help, but she’s actually anticipating that it won’t...

He has separation anxiety and scratches when I’m in the store, we’re working on it, he’s getting much better and doesn’t bark anymore

So, I removed the back seats out of my car and built a platform to sleep on. I then put those foam puzzle piece mats down, and a gym mat.  My dog is clawing the gym mat apart. So that’s gotta go.  What should I replace it with? I don’t mind a fairly firm surface to sleep on, but let’s see what...

It’s going well. There are two friends that cheer the idea on so I try to remind myself to pay attention to them, and all the support here is wonderful. I’m getting more and More complaints from my family. I told my mom that family is the only thing keeping me on this continent right now and...

Awww... I grew up with rabbits. I’ve owned just about every species of pet you can, and I have to say that rabbits were one of the best animal companions I’ve ever had, sometimes even better than a dog.

I think you guys are right...and it might be in my best interest to start talking about my plans to travel the world. Let them start focusing on enjoying what time we have left with eachother. If they still have a problem with me, great, no hard feelings about leaving then :) Thanks for your...

I’m convinced I already made this post but I’m guessing I was just really tired and probably even dreamt that it happened, haha!!  It’s November 20th today. That means it’s exactly 10 days before the cord is cut and I’m officially a full time car dweller. I’ve been sleeping in the car every...

I’m in Canadian tire right now and 2 pack of 100W solar panels by Coleman are 65% off right now. $359.99, or $15/month. Incase anyone’s interested

Well, glad I started preparing this month! I intended to move out of my place in January, start the new year in my car (by choice). I rent a room in a house currently, and there have been new tenants moving a lot recently. This morning, I found a bed bug hiding in my phone!!! Screw that! I'm...

Anyone using a hand vac??

I feed my dog raw diet. He's been healthier than ever but occasionally his anal glands get impacted. To fix this, once a week I give veggies that have been blended. It's a closer replication of eating an animals stomach contents, easier to digest, and still gives him the healthy fibre he needs...

I decided to buy one! I don't want to risk hypothermia. I'm glad to hear it's worked well for others too. Thanks!

I've been watching videos of Waste-free living from people on YouTube. I'm curious if any of the vehicle dwellers here have been practicing this lifestyle? I've been trying to eat raw foods as much as possible, which makes food pretty simple for reducing waste. I'm still not sure how I feel...

I have tried SO many products. The only thing that has come close to effective is that roller with the sticky tape that peels off. The sticky roller that you rinse after was useless, as were the rubber brushes, red velvet-like lint brush, etc. Even with the sticky brush there's stubborn fur left...

Is it typical for car dwellers to get interrupted sleep multiple times every single night for 3-4 months straight?
