just a tip for not being able to shower, I purchased a black card membership at Planet Fitness for like $23ish/month and was able to shower at every location across the US. And I was able to sleep in a number of gym parking lots that were open 24 hours. Another fun tip is sleeping in hotel parking lots and sneaking in and posing as a guest to grab a free breakfast in the morning (usually around 7:30-8am)
When I was a kid my family always kept a journal on road trips. I have one from 1964. In it I saw gas prices around 30 cents a gallon. A family of 5 could spend the day at Disneyland for just under $25, including parking. A Motel in Jackson Hole Wyoming was $14 for the night. These memories are priceless and I relive them every time I pull out and thumb through a journal.
Thats wild! this made my day haha
"i met a girl on tinder in Canada, and i hadn't showered in about a month in a half"
I come back to this video all the time, reminds me of my travels
Thankyou so much!!
Literally watching this as I sit in a sketchy Walmart in Albuquerque New Mexico 🤦😂
This man is sharing things normally other ppl wouldn't share. Thank you very much!
Thank you for this genuine, insightful video.
Awesome tips! Keep on traveling!
A very sincere video, thank you so much. Am a 45 yo European planning to take an epic trip across the States, starting form this very video, planning to watch this maybe 10 more times. Thank you, great advice there, I like to feel how enthusiastic ur about this. Thanks!
This is just flat out awesome
Good info and wisdom on actually experiencing travel vs capturing. I use a kettle that plugs into my car's cigarette lighter, great for meal prep and sponge baths
I live full time in my van and have never had to plug in a coffee pot. I heat water on a butane stove and use a milita pour over coffee cone. Check it out, $3.99 is cheaper than 8 bucks and no urinals included.
Serenity Craft how much did the butane stove cost?
@@corydriver7634 I don't remember what I paid for it, but they are on walmart website for about $20. I am sure you can find them on amazon too and I think any sporting good store.
Serenity Craft the point was you paid as much or more than 8 bucks to make coffee. 3.99 for the pour over, plus stove, plus something to boil water in. Granted you don’t need electricity and you can use the stove and pot for other things but still not cheaper. I’ll give you the no urinal part, though this idiot probably could have found another receptacle.
Great advice! Thanks for sharing!
Awesome video Mike and so glad to meet you out there in the Badlands !!
it was a fun day!!
Great tips, thank you!
thanks for the support!
Awesome video man. Thank you!
Thanks for your video. Hopefully will be helpful when I’m off probation
Carlsbad caverns is in New Mexico**
I traveled across America by train and it was super expensive. I think on my next big trip I will try this for sure.
Totally awesome man, I love it! Keep making these! :)
This was really great, thank you.
Hey friend, You can also heat water with a ‘coil’. You immerse it in a cup of water & plug into wall. Sometimes ACE hardware store has them but you can get them through AMAZON. They also have them that fit in a car power outlet. They are great to have!
Got back from doing this recently. Traveled for four months out of my small suv.
Invest in a camp stove, the BRS one on Amazon is only $15 ish and with a fuel can you’re set with water. You can make it in your car if you want
I stayed at many rest areas and from what i seen most of them have police that stay around the area and are pretty safe most the time.
amazing, I am coming for traveling in USA
Thanks, I'm inspired and currently without funding or transportation. However next month is also a new year.
Keep making more homie. Ppl will be interested.
thanks man!
Awesome man!! Can't wait to see more of your upcoming videos!
thanks man!!
This is FREAKING awesome! Getting ready to quit my job and GO. A few more weeks. :)
Awesome video. Super helpful and informative. I wanna hear some stories
you got it!
That jersey reminded me of how much i miss reffing paintball.... good video
It represents the end of a era..
Awesome!
Jeremy from jersey just subscribed thanks for this video
Solid advice
In Albuquerque that's just saying hello! 🤣
But for real, if you live there you'll get used to the gun fire. Actually as great place to live. I miss it.
lmao this made my day
great video! Very informative!
Awesome!!!!
Carlsbad Caverns is in New Mexico my friend:) awesome video overall!!
It is, its right on the border haha I was remembering hundreds of locations and got that one mixed up! my apologies~
Nice video..... Really helpful
great tips
respect
Thankyou! Im working on a new video where I recommend based on over 800 days on the road! stay tuned~
Lol nice planet eclipse ref jersey. Been playing for 15 years and counting
Try Woodburn Oregon, you wanna see a dump of a Walmart. It's become a homeless neighborhood with broken down cars and a camp sight.
Woooow this channel is the bomb!
wow, kudos to you!!!!
Thankyou so much!!
6:54 it was at that moment i noticed, that this isnt the way to drive through the states XD
You’re awesome
planet fitness membership is dirt cheap and I think they have showers. year pass and the natty park pass would be around 200 for a year. not horrible
Carlsbad Caverns.... Carlsbad New Mexico, not Texas. Texas has enough grate things let New Mexico have ours!😂 but other then that this video got me pumped to start Adventuring and exploring! So excited with these tips!
HAHAHA its right on the boarder I mixed it up sorry!! xDDD and ah adventure on!!
Subscribed.. thinking of driving to all 50 states next year solo
please do it!! (:
@@DreamingOfReality Will do!! VLogs coming soon ;)
Always a good idea to call walmart ahead… I didn’t call once 😂😂😂😂😂
cool! Keep up your good work :)
Took another 2 month cross country trip 🤙
Awesome!! Congrats man
Next up greenland!!!!
Couchserfing will help you. Also hotshower.com - write ppl there - they will give you showers. donw be cheap guy not having showers for months!
dude this is awesome! I finish High School this year so hopefully I get to do this soon! How much did you spend on gas? That is my biggest concern with a trip like this.
its the best thing ive ever done! the entire trip for 500 days was about 12K total ( for gas food clothes exct )my car gets 42 mpg and when i bought my car that was the reason haha
Hey! Fellow paintballer!
👍🏻
And it does not have to be this tough, travel in spurts with money and a good vehicle.
Clint Clore boring.
Yup being from Albuquerque I can honestly say it's not worth coming here, it's nicknamed the land of entrapment for a reason, avoid it at all costs. Not safe and it will ruin your good mood
Ehem. Albuquerque guy here. Really depends on the area dude. I've lived here half my life and have not once seen nor heard of a shoot out at a Walmart. I see RV's parked at Walmarts all the time.
yeah man google it lol july 2016
Where is an area in ALBQ you would recommend an over night stay, for free?
Hello, good video. what is that yellow tow device called? Thanks.
Total camera noob here. What camera are you using?
I know what you mean with the shower thing.....
hahaha theres nothing equal to it!
i really want to do this!!! i'm from the uk though and so mu first thought is how do i get a car with insurance and stuff to go do this
you can pick one up from a dealership or craigslist, insurance is as easy as making a call to progressive or allstate exct! depending on how long you travel for it shouldn't be too bad just know the state you buy your car in may have sales tax (ny is around 9% ) buttoner states don't have sales tax! so you might be better off seeing which state has the lowest state tax or a less populated state that way when you purchase insurance it will be cheeper than if you got insurance in NY I'm not fully aware of any of the policies just something to think about - Mike
That room made me nervous....
im looking into traveling. and backpacking the way. I'd like to ask do you travel alone mostly? whats it like?
I traveled alone for the hole trip on a few occasions people flew out to tag along for a few days but other than that your never truly alone depending on how outgoing you are, I made new friends everywhere i went it was amazing there were only 2 days on my trip i was truly lonely. when i was in the wilderness and i was camping alone in the rain for a few days and the rain just wouldn't let up it was gloomy and melancholy with no sight of people other than that i gotta honestly say i wasn't lonely (:
How did you afford the gas
Is that a PSP ref jersey?
You said that yellow thing was the most important thing to have but what is it ???? and what do you do with it? details please, don't assume I know anything about cars! Yes, I've always relied on AAA
hahaha sorry!! its an emergency tow cable!! anyone with a jeep or truck or even a car can drag you out of a sticky situation (if you get stuck or bottom out exct) hope that helped (:
Tow strap
And I'm from /my dad's from albs😂😂💯💯
What if you don't have a car then, but want to travel around the US cheap?
I met a guy who hitchhiked around America for 6 months and he loved it! ironically if you hitchhike into national parks its free lol and more often than not people offered him places to stay or food and when that wasn't an option he would just camp!
Did you work during the trip or how did you manage to pay for food and fuel...
Probably saved for like a year before he did this.
How long was your trip?
498 days!!
Fuck a journal, my memories are my secrets to share
Wow nice one
ෆට්ට👀👀👀👀🔥 🇱🇰
How many miles per day was comfortable for you driving?
most days only consisted of driving from camp and in the national parks but traveling from national park to national park averaged somewhere around 100 miles a day ish. 500 day roadtrip 57,000 miles but keep in mind i went cross country a total of 4 times in those 500 days lol because of winter and going north to south exct the most i drove in one day was something like 350 miles in texas bc that state is absolutely massive i hope that helped!
Nikon d810?
i wish! still rocking the D800 lol
Where is Carlsbad ? New Mexico or Texas?
New Mexico! on the southern border
MPB Photography Thanks man! Just left the caverns absolutely amazing.
Hey a paintball referee!!
haha yess back in the golden years!
This guy is a cornball but I like him. Thanks for uploading this Info. ✌🏼
You need to realize caffeine is an addiction. That's disgusting and I do some low down shit... brewing coffee on the ground next to men urinating, jeez
You're like Isaac Brock's vagabond step brother
good stuff man !love the travels .. i have been on the road for like 3 years now and live the lifestyle ! IG mattelkins_vanlifetravels
Don't you get super lonely??
Hamish Ashcroft plays minecraft I’m sure he wasn’t I’m like that too I can be on my own and not get lonely I guess you call it inner peace ☮️ ✌🏾
Can you change the title to "How to travel cheap IF YOU HAVE A CAR"? thx. Also, Carlsbad caverns is in new mexico, not texas. Hows it your favorite caves but you dont know where it is lol. Is this fake? Did you actually go to these places? Thumbs down.
Hey if you have Instagram I'd like to ask you a few questions I'm 19 and I'd like to take a long road trip and be a nomad I just can't find anything on how to start.
