I finally did it! I moved from sleeping in the back seat to the trunk! And wow, what a difference! I’m still planning on going to the woods again though!

    I rocked a $10/month planet fitness for shower/bathroom/occassional gym when car living. Def worth it
  • @jaywon555
    If you're doordashing in urban places, what about signing up for a nationwide fitness center, shower, water, work out, maybe parking.
  • Believe it or not you inspire me I lost my wife 2 years ago.She was the only person I could stand being Around. I too would like to escape, so you inspire me.Thank you

    i just removed the back seat and tossed it in the trash. I hack-sawed out the cross members and put a sheet of particle board across the "Floor'. I also tossed out the passenger seat. I slept with my head near the passenger side dashboard and my feet near the driver's side taillight I bought an old couch from the Salvation Army thrift store, tossed the couch into their dumpster, sewed together the cushions in a way that let me fold them up and stack them in a corner. They worked great as a sleeping pad.

    I’m on the verge of losing my home bcos Florida is so expensive. I can’t afford home owners insurance and we’re in hurricane season. I’m considering moving into my jeep but I have a dog and I definitely can’t leave him in my vehicle while I work. Life is so damn hard these days. Peace everybody!!
  • The main thing is that you can still find some kind of confront! Believe it or not JUST being a human is NASTY! Try and find your purpose! Try and find your reason! Not what you was told, but what your fighting for in your heart!
  • @OzExpeditions
    Looks a lot more comfortable Rob. Good to see you’re getting better rest.
  • Cleaning: Microfiber with baking soda water. Feels as clean as a bath. Microfibers pull all the dirt an sweat off. Air dry the microfiber cloth in a limb bevause it will stink. The sun will destroy any odors. Peeing: larger apple juice container. Holds more pee then empty on grass or forest floor. Apple juice containers also more durable. I used a half gallon milk jug once but after a while it cracked and started leeking pee everywhere. Staying cool: wet your clothes. Natural AC . Stay in Forest and by water which is naturally cooler.
  • Thank you for telling us about your new sleeping arrangements which will help others needing to do the same thing. I really liked seeding the areas you've chosen as safe places to stay because they are also helpful to others when they need to work out what to do and where to go. As always the beautiful videography showing us the outdoors is much appreciated. It is like a fresh breeze swept the cobwebs out of my mind and made me feel refreshed. 😀
  • @sashasdeath00
    happy to see your getting more rest. this comment is also a push to the algorithm

    Make sure that you change your oil rob its the best thing you can do to keep your vehicle in good condition. Make sure the car has been driven for a while, THEN change the oil while it is still hot that will clear out the bad oil/debris and not pollute the new oil.
  • Glad you are sleeping well now. Makes all the difference for your health and well being.
  • @McRocket
    I am pleased that you can sleep comfortably. Life sucks (even moreso) when sleeping is a chore. ☮
  • @niteal1255
    Was wondering why you weren't using the trunk for extra space to sleep. Glad you're able to stretch out now and get a good night's sleep. Thanks for keeping in real.
  • Thank you for you honesty. This does not seem fun other than traveling
  • I went and watched a bunch of your nature videos the other day. I like those videos too. I am considering living in my car, and at the very least I have a long camping trip planned starting next week. This kind of video is the main thing I am watching these days. I love the changes you have made.
