Total newbie here. I've watched a bunch of YouTube videos, and the idea of being free to go wherever we want, whenever we want, for a lot less money than staying at hotels is very appealing. And who knows if, God forbid, a hurricane or fire or some other disaster makes our home unlivable, having the skill of living out of a vehicle seems very useful.
We're not really equipped for it yet -- with my wife, our dog, and myself, our little Honda Civic isn't going to be very comfortable to live out of. But I figure we should get a tent from Walmart and try camping out on some BLM land (we've only tried camping outside once, and that was on a Kampgrounds of America location). I think if all goes well, we'll look around for a larger vehicle. I looked on Carvana for a used Ford Transit Connect, but they seem pretty pricey at the moment (not all that much cheaper than buying a new one, it seems).
Anyway, good to meet you all, and I'm guessing I'll see some of you folks somewhere down the road sometime!
