When you have ac and an insulated house it’s mild weather but yea I know what you mean I live in Georgia and one time when I was camping during a heat wave it was not only humid af but it was 100 degrees at night and 120 during the day and the sleeping bag and tent only held in more heat and humidity and made it worse overall

Back in summer 2016 I was homeless and sleeping in my 97 Camry with my dog Mochi. I got a membership at pf so I have a place to clean myself. Then I end up getting my car towed because I couldn’t pay the registration. End up moving at my friends house where I would regularly park few houses down because that was the only safe place I knew at the time. Then I started working at the same planet fitness. And eventually got back on my own feet. I’m in a much better situation now. Tough times don’t last only thought people do.

[@user-dk3ph8oe3b]

I lived in my car for over a year. How to beat the heat is get out of the city and away from the blacktop and go to the country and park in woods by a lake. During the day u will see a 30 to 40 degree differ3nce and at night 20 to 30. Also I bought black mesh window covers. This is so u can keep windows down get fresh air. Nobody can see in and if keeps mosquitoes out

[@user-hw6hb4rk9t]

thanks

[@doveydeath]

Yes very good advice. I'm not sure if it's only where I live but there is a lake and river campground right beside each other and the river is noticeably very much colder than the lake like they're literally 2 minutes apart as the dam only separates them but the river is very much colder (, which makes the temperature drop if you're a camping right beside the river.), I don't know if this is because of all of the water from the lake is released from the bottom going into the river which the bottom might be colder since there is no sunlight hitting it(these are just my personal experiences)

When I used to live in my car, I bought a portable misting fan on Amazon for about $60 (it's about $50 now). That was a lifesaver. I was sleeping in the car during summer when it was anywhere from 90 to 100 degrees outside at night, and that misting fan on high speed an intermittent mist was able to keep me cool while I slept and it was USB charger and battery operated. I also used it in the daytime while I was driving when it was even hotter because my AC compressor broke and was like $1,000 to replace. That damn fan saved my life that summer. Best purchase ever.

Depending on what car you have, a Check Engine light is either an issue or a minor inconvenience. 2000-2013 GM cars tend to be a mix, larger vehicles get them less often and for more important reasons. Japanese brands tend to have a good reason for that, and German brands with check engine lights on is just the experience of owning a german car.

Hey brother man. Salt Lake City here, and from 2018-3023 (carnival funtime in the world) I spent HUNDREDS of nights in the Cracker Barrel parking lot when gas money was low or plans change. When stuck in a city it's nice to have this backup "arse saved again by CB" option. I noticed in the video, and you probably just didn't film it, but I really recommend you film, for next time... the part where you purchase breakfast, or a side of sausage for your dog, or perhaps even a small inexpensive plastic/wood gadget from the front gift shop area. Let'em know, and all of us as well, that the Barrel is the official Overlanding Adventures in Arse Saving, Really Nice LOTS & Really Good Breakfast Too! Semper Fi!

Road trip/back-country hiking & camping in the Rockys/Montana, was the absolute best trip of my life. The fiance & I had an 04 Yukon XL so we had room to make a (very comfy) bed in the back. Did some incredible hiking & trails everyday, and then found random forests to park/sleep in (tiny bit creepy). But some of the most hardcore, narrow trails & cliffs/drop offs.. as well as unfathomable beauty & stunning views, (all the deadly wildlife up-close too)😅. And the night sky & meteor showers are so vivid, so bright, so close it feels like your in space. Its like you can see every star & every planet there ever was. Man I need to go back to that place😊

So ....this is a vacation/holiday ? How much money do one put aside , for a month holiday ? It got to be much cheaper, not renting hotel,lodge ,hut or anything. It seem cosy , and i bet it gives a lot of freedom. I also went on "camping trip's , when i was young (before getting a kid,). I usually had a small tent. The freedom,to go anywhere , and how cheap one could do it,and still have a fantastic holiday ❤ This should all young people do. When you get a family,it not this easy . So,make the most of your time as a young and singel person ! I worked a lot,to save up for these fantastic adventures. Its not something one will regret ! Well worth a lot of extra jobs.

Check Engine Light : it’s a issue with your exhaust system, might be one of the sensors… or also humidity can effect it . If you disconnect your battery ( negative connection for 30 seconds it will go out when you restart your car . If it comes on don’t panic the Engine is fine . Take your car on the highway at high speed for a good while 30 mins . Disconnect battery again and see what happens . If it comes on wait a few days and see if it resets . Now , you may burn a little more fuel than usual because one of the sensors is not working . People drive with the light on for years t doesn’t hurt the engine but may cost you more in fuel economy.

Also, check your fuel cap. If it isn't seated tight it can cause your engine light to come on.
