How do my wife and I live in our car! 5 essentials to car camping! #carcamping #vanlife

By

My wife and I have been living in our car for 48 days now. So, these are the five things we’ve learned that we cannot live without while living in our car. The first thing is window covers. Not only do the window covers reflect the sunlight, but it also gives you privacy. We use sheets of reflective to trace out our door windows. And then we duct tape the other side so that we can have a blackout effect at night for increased steelness. For our front window, we just use a normal window shade from Walmart. And then for the back window, we cut a blackout curtain that fits perfectly in the back window using Velcro. The second thing is a source of power. There are so many power bank brands out there, but we’ve had our Blue Eddie for over a year now. And this thing is probably the most important thing we need. It keeps our phones and our electronics charged, but most importantly, it powers our fans that help keep us cool at night in this summer heat. The third thing is an outdoor stove. Our propane stove is something we use every single day and allows us to cook meals anywhere and it gives us a sense of normaly. We’re also able to save so much money without having to go out to eat and it makes it possible for us to continue to cook healthy food. The fourth thing is a quality cooler. And I’m going to tell you guys how important it is to get a good cooler based on my own mistake. We went the route of going cheap and getting a Walmart cooler for $30. And now we get to buy ice almost every single day or else all of our stuff will go bad. I already got food poisoning once due to this mistake, but luckily someone who saw our videos offered to send us a nice Yeti cooler. So, we are so excited, happy, and grateful to have that soon. Lastly, you need to have a constant source of water. We have a seven gallon water jug that we used on our 40-day road trip and now we use it daily while living in the car. We use it for dishes, brushing our teeth, washing our face, and so much more. Those are the five things that we’ve learned that we cannot live without while living in our

    You're not humble, for one. Two, your car is small, and there's no way you're able to fit all that crap in the trunk. Three, I don't honestly think you're able to sleep comfortably at night and still be able to function at work properly. My spouse and I travel extensively for 2 months within a year in our RAM Dodge Truck with a camper but have to get a hotel to shower and some good night sleep. You're just putting on a good show and that's fine. But you're not setting a good example!

    I have that same battery and same camp stove that I use when we go camping. They’re both great.

    Cooler trick that I love is an ice dry bag, Amazon. Keeps cooler dry! I can’t camp without it now

    Your lucky your wife sticks around mine left me for another man after a month of this a year back. When I was younger and homeless too my fiance left me after a few days of living out the car as well.

    How much does it cost for the power bank propane stove? It's easier to buy 40 pack of water bottles to drink.

    You need back up fans make sure they don’t die always crack windows but still even it’s dangerous sleeping in a car

    The fact that you guys are not eating fast food all day every day is making me feel so ashamed like I don't even try sometimes. This is a real life lesson for everybody.

    You know how else you can save at end of shopping for groceries go to meat dept ask them if they can fill out bag with ice for you. Ice is expensive to buy everyday. It’s not for using on drinks tho only to keep things cool they will say. Say that’s ok if that’s what u will use for. Other thing go to fast food restaurant get huge plastic cup with wide top ask if u can get some ice they will say ok. Like jack in box or Panda Express etc

    How does your wife pee in the middle of the night? Asking for myself as a woman. Does she use a cup or a jug?

    I have found that if I take one of those cheap, solar blankets, push it down into the ice chest to line it, then put the bag of ice in, fold the rest of the shiny blanket over the ice, then close the lid…. I get about 2 more days, at least, out of my ice. I was using a cheap ice chest and 10 lb bag of ice. I get almost 4 days of ice cold that way. If the solar blanket is big, just cut it in half and put one away for later.

    I hope my love is this strong one day. Like nothing can break this couple. Not even loving out of a car.

    You could add a USB rechargeable faucet for your water source to help conserve water and add convenience. I bought mine for about $12 on Amazon.
