Are homeless bums living in their car.

Don't be fooled by phony social media posts glamorizing being a hobo.

This shit would get old in about 20 minutes

Change my mind.

As someone that lived in his car for a while in HS and lived out of a truck for half of 94 I can confirm it does indeed suck.

My niece in law (Wife's sister's daughter) tried doing this with her boyfriend. They fixed up and renovated some old shitty van to make it cool.
Think they lasted like 3 months before they said fuck this and got an apartment

I couldn't imagine living in a van with another person. I live in a 4 bedroom house with my girlfriend and I get the urge to kick her out at least once a week. I imagine living in a tiny house would get old, really quick, too.

How do city dwellers and europoors handle living like canned sardines? No wonder they're all a bunch of faggots.

I could easily live like this if I was single, no question. Go from place to place and fish all over the country. Probably not as a permanent arrangement but for a few years absolutely.

I lived in a gypsy vardo style trailer parked across from the projects in East LA for a little while

Had the time of my life . Wouldn't have wanted to do that anywhere cold though

Most of these younger people doing this are doing it for shallow reasons like everything else they do though.

Anybody doing this with kids should be dealt with harshly

You'd take a truck and a popup camper at the least like a normal person, though.

I used to do it when I was young

I had a rental but would spend months away going to music festivals and ski resorts and would live in van, sometimes crash on a friends couch or floor. Fun when you are young and have little responsibility, not when older or with family.

I think I would run my truck, boat, and then my TCOP tent. Maybe rig up an awning off the top of the truck for shade.

There is this kid on Youtube, Mav, who does some pretty cool van life type shit. Started off in his F150 and his channel has now blown up, has a whole fleet of camping vehicles, goes all over the world doing it now.

As a single young dude yeah, pulling a pop up camper hitting all the national parks with the seasons would be a hell of an experience. Doing it with 5 kids in a van is stupid.

The box trucks turned into full-service tiny homes (bathroom, running water, full kitchen, etc) fascinate me. If it wasn't a *huge* box truck (like the bigguest U-haul), I think I could do that. It being too big of a truck would make it a huge pain in the ass unless you were towing separate transportation or had a small motorcyle on a rack.

The ones living out of campers with outside showers and shitting in a bucket or whatever...they all look like hippie bums.

It irks TF outta me when you see the ones with pets - 2-3 cats, a dog, etc. ESPECIALLY the ones not even living in a van, box truck, etc, but have just taken the back seat out of their Altima and sleep with their legs poking back into the truck.

And yes - a LOT of them are absolutely fake...especially the hot chick ones. They're like the chicks in yoga pants fishing, bushcrafting, etc.

Sure, you got a nice enough ass, but there is a less than zero chance you're sleeping in your back seat while going out & getting your nails done. Fuck off.

You know what you never see with these twats with their van life Youtube channels? Them shitting into a Home Depot bucket while their cuck boyfriend sits next to them, questioning his life choices.

He does drink his own piss for real though.

He'd probably still drink his own piss if he was being put up in a 5 star hotel with unlimited room service for free.
Grosser than that was the episode where he was in africa and demonstrated how you could take a pile of Elephant dung, squeeze it, and drink the water to hydrate

Yup, and body odor. So much body odor
