    I got out to do a little bit of car camping during a heavy snowfall warning, it really took me back to the times I lived in a vehicle. Temperatures dropped to -14 Celsius, or 7f. I stayed fairly cozy through the night, but there were some cold moments.

    People sometimes sleep in their cars randomly here at my apartments. I never bother them and only once before did a neighbor seem to have an issue with it as I was outside smoking and she came up to me and pointed out the car and said she had an issue with a stranger sleeping there. She lives upstairs where it would be extremely difficult for someone to bother her. I just told her that we should all be so fortunate not to have to sleep in our car and I doubt the young female (I saw her when she first pulled in) was going to give her much issue and we should leave her be.
    Sleeping, especially in your car, you've got enough problems as it is and it disgusts me that it could be even considered a crime. Yes, some bad people live in cars, but bad people live in houses too.

    One of the best locations for overnight car camping is a hospital emergency room parking lot. If spotted, you’ll draw more sympathetic looks than suspicious ones… people assume you’re holding vigil with a loved one. Even security won’t bother you. Bonus: bathrooms & vending are readily available no matter the time.

    I lived in my little 2 door Sentra in the mid to late 90's for a little over a month. Tiny car, but I loved it! I was much thinner, younger, and more adventurous than I am now. I had recently left one job, and would be starting a new one but there was going to be a 2 month gap between them. So instead of moving back in with my parents (whose home was about 6 hours from where I was living / working) I chose to "camp" in the car. Some moments were a little creepy, some people would get suspicious of the car being parked for too long in one spot. But I must say the time spent in my car is one of my life's highlights! It was oddly freeing, and liberating. I miss those rainy nights the most. Nothing is as cozy and comforting as hunkering down in a car on a rainy night. Each time these videos include some car camping, I immediately think of my old Sentra and simpler times. Cheers!

      This is 100% factual. I was living homeless in my car because of a bad home environment(growing up as a teen I was a couch shopper, so once I was seen as an adult, obviously my mom was like okay get out), and once my car died soon after that, completely homeless on the streets in Minneapolis. And this was in 2020, at the beginning of the pandemic so everyone was sheltering in place no stories were even open so I didn't even have the luxury of homeless shelters or even soup kitchens.
      Luckily I receive social security payments for disability, because if I didn't have that little money I would have either died of starvation or I would've had to steal a lot from stores, even with my payments it was a struggle to feed myself on the streets those 4 months. Eventually, right before George Floyd was killed in Minneapolis(I was homeless on lake street where he was killed one week before) I got placement into a group home because I was proactive in getting off the streets.
      It was a huge traumatic experience because in the beginning of the pandemic in Minneapolis homeless shelters and soup kitchens, even social offices were closed, so I was on the streets in wintertime living off of gas station food and coffee, didn't even have a luxury of pan handling because everyone was inside their homes. I even did have to steal food quite a few times, and it was traumatic watching the city burn down and the riots after I got into a home, I've seen some things and we can leave it at that.

      A lot of people get stuck in that mode of thinking though that their world is like 60 square miles IF THAT. And the idea that you can actually take the car (money allowing) wherever you want either doesn't occur to people or doesn't seem possible or like a good idea because it completely shatters the routine. That's what travel and vacationing is good for though -- shattering routines and forcing people to live differently for a little while.

    I lived in vehicles for 4 years. I found it interesting. To see you doing the same things. BTW. On cold nights wear a mask. It will help ease the condensation and you will breath warm, moist air. No sore throats or as much dehydration in the morning.

  • @NorthernKitty
    @NorthernKitty 3 года назад +55

    One way to decrease the condensation on the windows in cold weather is to actually make kind of a "tent" above you when you sleep, preferably out of an absorbent fabric, mostly over the head area. For example, string a line and drape a beach towel over it, stretching it out to make kind of a steeple over you. You can't really eliminate the condensation, but this helps reduce it by capturing much of the moisture from your breath. Additionally, in really extreme temperatures it noticeably helps trap warmer air around your head and reduce drafts.
    And thanks so much, Steve, for encouraging people to donate to help the homeless. 🥰 It can happen to any of us, there aren't enough safety nets to prevent it. And in the long run, it costs us all when someone falls down and no one helps them back up - we lose a lifetime of what they might have otherwise contributed to the world.

    I've commented about this before; I was once someone forced to stealth camp in a vehicle along with my mother, younger sister and younger brother as a teenager. We all crammed into a two door, falling apart SUV full of our junk for about two years and a white panel van on and off. We did experience harassment by police several times and criminals broke into one of the windows and stole my mom's purse. If our experience was like Steve's was here it would've been much more pleasant. It took us awhile to learn how to survive that way and we made plenty of rookie mistakes.
    Don't misunderstand, I don't I feel sorry for myself nor do I feel like Steve is somehow cheapening our struggle's or anything.

    It's a good idea to open and close the car door to make it sound like you left your car for anyone who heard you pull up.

    Great video Steve! Be careful sleeping with your head at the rear of the car especially in inclement weather. Would hate to see you rear ended by someone not paying attention or having lost control. Id sleep with my head behind the front seats to avoid a potentially serious injury. Keep the content coming!

    Living in a car sucks ass had to do that shit for almost a year in my younger days.. makes you feel like things will never change or get better but it will just keep your head up and try to keep a positive mindset (to anyone currently living in their car). Your videos would have been a godsend for me back then. You are helping people alot more than you think with videos like this mate.
