- It is always cold! Obviously, what would one expect living in a vehicle in the winter? I understood this, having camped in the cold. I just didn't anticipate it would be as difficult to find a solution for this.
I don't lack sleep because of the cold. My sleep system can withstand below ZERO temps. I am just not a restful sleeper, never have been.

I’ve lived in my car for 2 years and am saving a ton of money.

I was in a toxic relationship for over a decade, with no where to go but the street, I watch your videos and that give me courage to do it first night was awfull I almost go back, but I keep watching your videos all night long, every day is getting better.
I'm living in my car by choice!!!
Thank you.

Same story here for me dont go back we will be fine take time I guess good luck
Same here except I work part time and its not my car its a rental I have no money to pay it so I guess I'll sleep on street.. 😭

Living in a car can be so humbling and peaceful...
This vehicle looks so comfy, im leaving a super toxic woman , she put me out after she made sure I spent all my money taking care of her and fixing her car and covering rent. Well I wasn't on the lease so when she said get out , im out. First time I've had a gf since high-school put hands on me. It's freezing in colorado, can't wait to make my journey home to California, dude this inspires me
I got work all week and will be sleeping in my truck till for four night and it's 30 degrees out and my truck has an exhaust leak into the cab hahaha , videos like this woman give me hope, gotta man up, or yah know thanks for the inspiration lady! I can hear the tiredness in your voice . Well this video is old so hope your home now
Wow, this really surprised me. I was in the Air Force 30+ years ago. I never expected to see a high ranking sergeant living in their vehicle. I subscribed so I could find the back story video. Wishing you well in this new year.
Oh I also meant to say I live in SE DC. so I'll keep my eyes open to see if I see you in the DMV. Best wishes.
Hi, Salome! Thanks for following along 😊. There is a link in the description with my 'Car Living' playlist where you'll find the intro video.
this just gave me the push I needed. I’ve been looking into car dwelling & its great to see someone in uniform doing it.
same
I have so much respect for you. Thank you for sharing this RUclips Video. Thank you for your sacrifices and your service to the U.S.A. I'm going to be doing the minivan life soon because of my own physical, mental and emotional well-being. Thank you so much. You're an impression to many people and to women.🇺🇸🇺🇸💙🇺🇸🇺🇸💙🇺🇸🇺🇸💙🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸💙🇺🇸🇺🇸💙🇺🇸🇺🇸
Love the A F cammo.
The butane stove thing never had worked well because butane only works well I'm certain temps.
A lot of military personnel and their families are living in rvs these days. One veteran to another...I don't know where you're stationed but if you ever get transferred to Wright-Patterson in Ohio...you have a place to live. Two extra bedrooms, a small camper and a fifth wheel to choose from.
You're very kind Jean! I'm doing well. Living in my car was all by choice and I wanted to give it a try while I waited for construction to be completed on my condo. Thanks for your very generous offer!
You are so sweet
A fellow Daytonian!
I am proud of you .... thank you you serve ours country... ... god bless you all
Here's a tip. wear a polyester moisture wicking under shirt, then a 100%wool sweater and beanie, then have a fleece jacket over the wool sweater. Polyester wicks moisture, the wool retains heat but has ventilation, then the fleece repels water and is a windbreaker as well traps except it has ventilation so you dont sweat. Cause moisture will make you freeze.
haha fleece is definitely NOT a windbreaker.
Thanks
Your comment alone to her video was more helpful than her constant COMPLAINING and her BLAH! BLAH!! BLAH!!!
How about you make a video with your valuable tips and information. I would enjoy watching and learning from you.
@@robertcovone8777 actually I just got my winter gear out. Maybe I will!
@@charliestone8323 Hello Charlie
I am seriously thinking about living in a 2022 or 2023 Ram Promaster City (whenever they become available) because I am just so tired of PAYING, PAYING, PAYING everybody else like a Landlord or a Roommate. I think that its time that I finally pay ME! ME!! ME!!!
Living in a van fulltime you can really $$$ SAVE $$$ LOTS of MONEY, just Stash-the-Cash in a savings account, cut out your housing in your budget. Dealing with the hot and cold elements can't be too bad to deal with.
Here is a saying that I wrote myself that you might like... *FREEDOM. Is NOT having a permanent home address. I like it.
Anyway thank you for responding back.
I like when you put your knife closer to you. I keep a fixed blade knife in between my seats in my truck. Never know what could happen. 👍
I'm retired military there is no reason for her to be living her car to military provide you with housing or barracks she is living in her car because she wants to
Precisely, which is exactly what I explain in my intro video: ruclips.net/video/gob_ng5Hpw4/видео.html
She is a MSgt so no barracks at that rank
That means she's an E-8 the military to include the Air Force provides dormitories for E-8 and above. I know when I was an E7 I lived in The Bachelor quarters and there was E-8's and E-9'sliving in the single Bachelor quarters also.
I'm an E7 and there are no dormitories; "dorms" are for Airmen. There is on base housing that we can rent using our housing allowance OR rent or buy off base.
Thank you, Pete.
I’m not surprised I’ve seen so many officers living in there cars that come through the gate.
You're very inspirational!! Thank you so much!
Thank you for your service 🙏 ❤
Thank you for sharing 👍I also live in a SUV and I live in Germany without a heater. I have 5 blankets ❤️👍
After here I'm going to visit your channel. See you there :)
@@xxlalbatross3287 thank you 🙏 live is sometimes hard, but we always have to make the best out of it. I also have a playlist with my English videos 👍
@@ParkitloveitWell said words. We all have our own backpack on the our shoulders .I wish you all the best.
@@xxlalbatross3287 thank you 🙏 to you too 🍀❤️
Thank you for your service ❤️
Just found your channel. I’ve been living in my car off and on off and on. I’m actually getting ready to get back on the road again and live in my vehicle save some money. I just not happy living in a damn apartment. I’m coming out to Utah. Thanks for the inspiration from an Infantry Guy. 🇺🇸
Lots of SM's do this! There is a page on facebook for fulltime military rv families, and military vanlife. I'm Army and planning on converting my suburban for living. GET IT GET IT!!! Nice set up.
I like your character& fight! Keep going! We all support you& are rooting for your success
I'm using heating blanket throw to assists on keeping warm in the cold climate. Place it on top of sleeping bag while in it increases the warmth inside sleeping bag Connecting it to a jackery 500 for overnight power source. It uses low wattage about 20% of power over 8 hours. It is about you being warm while sleeping in your sleeping bag not being warm by heating your car, suv, van, rv or tent while sleeping in your sleeping bag. I use electric appliances for cooking heating etc. Plug it into the jackery 500 and it produces all the power needed for my use until its time to recharge it while driving or using solar panels.
Thank you so much for your service God bless
Hi you Are So InSpirational!!
As Long as you have A Truck
You Are not homeless, "So to speak"
I Lived in my Truck A month &
Was Close to God! ☺😘
It was for faith that you Are not
ALone & you WiLL Be Ok 👌 ok
Merry Christmas!!
Thanks David! Merry Christmas to you
I have a buddy heater and its really good.
They have cups to heat coffee or....They Sell BATTERY OPERATED Blankets, same for Socks, Gloves, and 20 below zero Sleeping Bags. Must wear something on your head. It Really does help Keep You Warm. They have large Bottles That Will Keep Water hot or Cold almost 24 hours. Amazon also has toilet Paper Wipes that You can use to clean your Face and hands once wet. Medical Places have No Water Cleanser To Clean Yourself In emergency. Be Safe
Lots of good info, thanks, R.
Dumb question, can't you turn on the heat in your SUV enough to warm.up then turn it off?
It depends on how cold it is outside and if you have your windows insulated or not...you would have to keep waking up doing it not being able to sleep
At least in Germany it’s not allowed to leave on the motor while parking. I always heat while driving for five or 10 km and stop for parking to give a lesson. by at the end of the lesson it’s as cold inside as outside. My feet feel frozen then. It’s not a real pleasure to work in a cold car.
The butane stove for heating is a good idea, don't know why I didn't think of using mine when I was freezing on my first camping trip at 10,000 ft elevation. I had to resort to using tealight candles 🥶
Yes! Certainly doesn't have a clearance issue over the top of the burner like the Little Buddy. How did the candles work? I've seen people use them.
@@RachelinRealLife I was tent camping then and had a cheap Costco sleeping bag. It did help a little and I didn't die 😁 Learned my lesson real quick about high elevation evening temp drops.
Can't beat real-world situations.
How did the Coleman work out for you heat wise? I'm trying to cover everything before I move into my prius in probably 6 weeks or so. I run my car 12 to 14 hours a day so I'm not trying to run it all Night as well lol
Hi I bought those handwarmer.they keep me warm. I got them at Walmart.
Just found your Channel. Wether this is your choice or not, no military should be sleeping in there cars, maybe there's other vids why but I haven't seen them yet. Wish you all the best
Good luck . stay warm . keep the videos coming .
Yet to gold zero 400 and an electric blanket
Thank you for your service ma'am. I appreciate you and all military personnel. I'm a military brat. Wish I could have joined any branch.
I lived in my truck for almost 2yrs it was tough in the beginning but it would of been so much better to of had a partner to do it with cause alot of lonely nights evenings and weekends...Goodluck in your journey.
Seen ppl with Mr buddy's n a window cracked n there are other ones in Amazon too
judging by your uniform i am thinking you are from the state. I am in canada in -30C for a couple of months i just sleep in a sleeping bag and couple of electric hand warmer. also some ski mask.
I'm a USAF brat with 18 + years as a dependent , my dad is a lifer Chief Chouinard from Travis AFB CA the best Pop in the world . 🇺🇸
God bless you Woman.
Oh yea right he don't bless anyone sad to say
I know they have portable car heating blankets but don't know how good they work.
Hope you are doing ok if you got a chance look at diesel portable heaters on eBay.

What type of heater do you use do you have a link or name of the brand
Living in my car with a dog toughest challenge is the winter in Canada its crazy
I want to rescue you!❤
I bet you never get a random inspection at gate lol. That would be a nice content lol.
You really want to save that BAH huh lol
God bless you stay safe
I don't understand of how this could happen? She is a master sergeant E7. I just came across her video. And does not know the story behind her living in her car. But what am I to think if I want to join the Air Force. Is this what I have to look forward to? To live in my car after serving over 15 years. Where are her kids or husband if she have any? If she doesn't have any children or not marry she should have a lot of money with the rank that she is holding. But whatever the situation is. I want you to know that I respect whatever you're doing to survive. That is the secret of life, SURVIVAL. And thank you for your service.
Read the comments. I say multiple times, this is by choice.
Good luck hope it works out. Got be hard
Doing that don’t thing u could handle it.
She's so pretty.
I have to ask why tear drip trailers dont give a guild .
Hi. Good video.i don't think there's anything like this in the UK.
How are you over there with all the trouble about G.FLOYD. HOPE YOU ARE SAFE 👍👍👍👍👍👍🇬🇧
Hi Rachel just started the suv life. Actually it was a personal inspiration to save while I travel for work. Came across your video because I realized it's so cold at night so I was doing some research. Thanks for sharing.
...beats a shelter half and a cold omelette MRE.
Finally found some one cool on youtube
Aw...thank you!
She desurves better than this!! I’m goin threw a lot of crap also .This poor girl desurves more!
Well. Hope You Be Safe. You Need Rain Guards For Your Windows To Let In A Little Air. On CheapRVLiving was a Lady Who Uses a Alcohol Stove To COOK And HEAT her Van. Alcohol is More Expensive But Safer because it doesn't Explode Like Gas. Unless You Plan To Get A Van, Seats Need To Be removed. You Can Get Luci Lights from Amazon. Charged By The Sun.
ruclips.net/video/kdtyV0ibKZ8/видео.html
The seats stay. I am all about modular. Plus, I would have to store them with room I don't have. My setup easily folds back into the cargo area so that I can have passengers.
You cannot pocket the BAH if you don't have the rental contract or mortgage unless you got other arrangement, but I am sure you already know that.
You are I incorrect.
"Putting down ice," lol. You def were tired af. New sub btw!
You have a uniform on you showed be in a warm and safe in an apartment
Why are you sleeping in the car if you are military?
Can you sleep at your work? I also use two 0degree sleeping bags in winter time
Very cool, you have the name as my daughter
I know this kind if late to sleep get a below 0 sleeping bag
I'm a disabled homeless woman whose been homeless off and on since I was 15 and been homeless for 30 years of my life and I'm 60 and it all started after my father died he was exposed to nuclear bomb testing in the 50's and got cancer he was hospitalized 1 day before I was born and the navy retired him and then abandoned us. Now I'm 60 years old with multiple health issues during this pandemic. So to me the military can be dissolved and that money should go to house the homeless which includes veterans
I'm sorry to hear of your troubles and what happened to your father. The military is a necessity though. Not sure who you think is going to keep you safe if another country tries to take over. The rich need to be taxed adequately to help pay towards programs like homelessness.
It’s Crazy that anyone serving would be living in a car I get the privacy angle Barrecks suck but many people me included would let her have a spare room to live in.
I own rental properties. This was by choice.
It's almost been a year since you lived in your car...where are you now? I want to know!
And my how things change!🤔🤐 I promise it won't take a year to know what I'm up to now. Once I get through this "series" of videos, my goal is to get through the footage I took after living in my car and be caught up by Spring, maybe sooner... Who knows how long I lived in my car 😉.
@@RachelinRealLife fine, I'll wait.😫 or maybe I'll call your mom to get the lowdown 😉
Your awesome
I guess if your comfortable and enjoy what your doing, I mean I watched your video it looks fun to camp in your vehicle and move around, are you permitted to do this in the base or the MP have a shit fit? Or are you off the base?
i have seen her other videos, but why is she sleeping in her car?? she airforce she can stay in the dorms
I am a veteran myself and there's a barracks available for you on base or they give you BEQ
This is by choice.
Hi nice video, are you still living in your car or you went for the spencive way real apartment
Can you turn your car on when it gets cold at night?
part time car living I am trying to get a good system for while Im on the way to Montana, though Ill try to save up and get a room in Montana, on the drive and stop there I will need to have a system to stay warm also I will be working out of my car using a weboost, Do u have a heater?
Stay safe and best wishes, Lord-Jesus-Christ com.
Are you still in miitary service? Have you moved in to your new condo and stopped living in your car?
Yes, the video trail will take you there

nice reputation for us army
I’m about to be evicted in a couple of weeks, I don’t have a place to go but I do have a car, (thank goodness) I’m trying to prepare myself for car living, these videos are giving me lots of good ideas and I don’t feel as hopeless as I did. Wish me luck! 🫶🏽
I feel for your predicament, in the USA, they make differences in the people in this country. There is to much variations in wages, or in other words !!! What corporations are willing to pay the average working people in the US. Also what the US government is willing to pay their soldiers. They are not willing to pay " a decent cost of living wage in this country anymore !!! Whether you are in the military or not !!! The many inmates, confined in our nations prisons, are treated better, than law abiding citizens, and are given fair housing, total free excess to full medical and dental care in the USA, by our elected government. While law abiding Americans, are put and displaced out of employment in their own country. !!! All of the well paying jobs are outsourced to foreign countries !!! Because of greed and corruption in this country. These practices are a shameful and a disgrace, to our country, The United States of America. To the corrupted individuals in this great land of ours, God and Jesus Christ see what you DO !!! and How you treat our many people, who are unemployed, whether in the military or not !!! We as a supposedly free nation, can act , do better, and be better. Follow the right ways of God and Christ instead of Satan's Ways !!! Our country and World, would, Be A Better Place For All. Everyone would benefit from this right practice !!! To our law abiding citizens, Stand Up For Our Country !!! OUR GOD AND OUR CHRIST, AND OURSELVES and the right to have decent jobs and pay to make a living in the USA. Kevin Phoenix
Go to Walmart or Amazon and buy a zero degree or 20 degree sleeping bag. Zip yourself up while you're sleeping, and you'll be warm.
I'm in the same boat as you. I tried a bunch of stuff, and found this is the perfect solution. I've slept in as low as 7 degree temp and have been warm.
Also, I keep all my stuff in a storage unit, and just keep what I need for a few days in my car.
I'm able to sleep in negative degrees with my 0° quilt. A solution for the air around me is what I've been looking for.
@@RachelinRealLife I new to your story. Is this your current situation today ?
Hi! I'm a producer for The US Sun. We would love to feature your video in an article. Would you give us permission? We will credit your page. Thanks!
what are all them stripes good for????
Stacking money..
Shes an E7 in the airforce she makes pretty good money you can look up on military pay scales
You're military? Why sleep in your vehicle?
I can't belive everyone still belives in gods in 2021
WHY are you not living in base housing? The Army provides you with everything you need.....
This was by CHOICE
This was no help 4 staying warm in car
How do you keep your uniform wrinkle free? Do you iron in the car?
These uniforms aren't like BDUs, they don't need to be ironed.
I was gonna say !! is the military got that cheap that stop probating housing and all the needs !!!😂😂 I guess just people like to struggle just because lol
Why don't you comment after you learn to write in English?
Pete Peter , lol
Why are you homeless? Can you stay on the base?
waoo ..
What's the reason for you living in your car?
I will write a formal letter at Mr Trump right at this moment. a woman that's surviving her country can not be living in such conditions. 😉
She's a SFC in the air force. There's no reason she should be living in her car. I think she's pocketing the money the military gives you to live off base.
Smart woman.
You have BIG TIME RANK , why are you sleeping in your car ???
Hope you are not living in your car anymore
You cute. Fasho. Stay good.
What work if she is in the military then she should be in the barracks for free food from the chow hall free don't imply the military would let this happen. this has not a thing to do with the military
No such implication was ever made. Read a videos description or my replies to other comments. 'Barracks' and 'chow halls' are not free, for anyone.
I was stationed overseas and the barracks and chow hall was free... even living off post was free...
You protect this country you should not live in your car
I would like to be your friend and get to know you, if interested. Oh and ignore All the Negative comments that people say to you because you don't deserve or need that in your Life. I too am living out of my vehicle. It would be nice to talk with someone who is going through the same things. I'm 😇 Angel
