    I use to use rechargeable hand warmers. Charge them in the library put them under your blanket with you. Hand warmers you don't charge are cheap put them in your socks and gloves.

    I saw a RUclipsr make a kind of pup tent over her bed. Her name is modern day pilgrim. So your body heat is contained within that area. Go to the thrift store grab an old sleeping bag or heavy blanket and give it a try.

      I think I saw her channel or one similar. They literally took a rope and put it across where they slept then draped a blanket over the rope. I completely forgot about this until I saw your comment. I was thinking a tent but this is a cheaper option.

    Consider recycling cans and plastic bottles to fill up your tank. Also get a bag of potatos, onions, bell peppers and make smothered potatos, that will fill you up over those noodles. Consider instant grits with butter too.

    I’m in the health care field. I was just wondering if you know about local food banks in your area? That’s a great resource to get food. Do you have a library card? If not I suggest you get one so that you can utilize their computers to job hunt and for other purposes. Churches in your area may also be willing to help you out until you get a job.

    I've been doing what you're doing since 2019. I make a mylar tent over my bed (emergency blankets) keeps the heat in and doesn't make you sweat profusely like when you wrap yourself in it. Also, lighting candles did help too, didn't heat entire van up but it cut the cold. You can do the same with Sternos but be careful with that flame. Good luck and much love from NYC 🙂

    Try putting reflex under the rug, under the mattress pad, on all windows and on the ceiling. I think you are loosing a lot of heat. Also, please ask the churches for blankets warm clothing, food and help. Fire stations may be able to help. I would consider asking hotels for a blanket. All they can say is yes or no. If you don’t ask, they won’t give.

    If you want your van to heat up faster get some cardboard and place it front of your radiator to block the cold air from coming into your radiator, also I noticed that you don't have anything/insulation covering your roof on the inside, those reflextives will help but really you need those foam boards and you can either use spray adhesitives or thin metal slants to hold them in place.

    Mr Buddy heater. Or block off the front of your van with a blanket. And cover all your windows.
    About 20 votive candles (not tealights) or a bunch of bigger candles will warm up the van. Can not sleep with candles going of course.
    I'm a full time nomad started in a van but now in a hatchback small car. Been full time for 13 years. You can also get a single burner camp stove and use that to heat BUT what ever flame is burning you MUST keep a window cracked a few inches or you will have carbon monoxide poisoning.
    Good luck and stay safe❤

      what is wrong with people 😭 the guy needs to breathe... i don't get people being condescending, nitpicky and mean.
      like we get it, youve been through some hard times too, but it doesn't mean you know better and get to boss him around after watching him for ten seconds. especially not with some petty survival fact that worked for you once in a specific situation.

      Nobody is being mean and nitpicking at anything, if we see something where common sense should've been used we're gonna say something about it in hopes of maybe next time he won't do that. Nothing is wrong with a little constructive. criticism

      @jacquelinea8719 you need to chill out! Maybe its not worth watching this channel and should unsubscribe if someone is going to ball us out. One little statement about keeping the door open certainly didn't merit your over blown response. I like this kid and support him by subscribing. Not if you are going to react like that tho. You tell me. I think your response was an over reaction.

    God bless you doing this difficult time, I live in Kansas City Missouri and she got hit card. I’ve missed 2 days of work due to weather. I hope things get better for you, get gas and some food somehow, the necessary things u need. Thrift stores definitely have a lot of things that would help you, blanket, boots gloves in this weather.

    Diesel heaters are getting better in quality also. But need a solid installation. Good luck but you need to go south for the winter untill you can learn the way a little better. Walmart has 18 hour hand warmers that work great.

    Get yourself a small pup 🎉tent put over your bed. Your breath and body heat will help keep you warm. Do you have a portable solar power pack? Get a electric blanket. Use tea lights with clay pot with hole in bottom over the tea light. This will get the pot hot and heat a little bit .

    Until you can get a mini diesel heater i would get a buddy heater and a propane tank to keep warm for cheap. Insulate your van this summer my guy. Check your local town dumps for foam board too depending on your state.

    Get a Mr. Buddy heater that hooks up to a propane tank it cost about 20 bucks to fill it, but you MUST HAVE THE WINDOW CRACKED ABOUT AN INCHE, so the fumes do NOT unalive you in your sleep. Also, a CO2 monitor helps alot, because it beeps when CO2 is too high.
