Homeless In a Uhaul - Living The Van Life

[@LivingTheVanLife]

LOCKED INSIDE? - to address the hundreds of concerned viewers: “What if someone locked you inside?” First off... this was one of the first concerns I had as I planned this out. I had planned to purchase a pad lock to lock the outside latch in the UP position. However, even with a lock on the latch, the hook can still be hooked and latched with me inside. BUT... because I parked in a city street and I had a cellular device with PLENTY of service, I took my chances. If I had become latched in there... I could have easily called for someone to let me out. I was not concerned in the least bit. I KNEW I should have included this in the video itself. Shame on me.

[@juststeve7665]

lol that was my thought through the whole video...

[@rachelk5720]

haha at 13:12 you read my mind lol. I was thinking the same exact thing.. I am sitting in my car, with blanket on; heater running (kid is at sports practice for 3 hours...so most of the day I am living in my van..)

[@capt.tigerhall]

Agreed on lock on latch who cares, also putting a lock around the bar that gets the curl hook works also or cheap bike cable rapped around the hook bar part, let me know if you dont get what I am saying, you never want to be locking in, if you have to ax the roof its the thinnest way to get out.., never have another you in, also use some vise grips on the inside rails, use on wheels or at top, easy to unlock to get out, and also keeps out rif raf or po po.. good luck and keep warm, get some Styrofoam 4 x 8 sheets, to make a smaller cheap room in back cheaper to heat at night less propane use, and insulates, also 2 carbon monoxide detectors please, battery powered best to be alive so we can keep seeing ya in these videos.but i have had one fail on me.. best with two.... Life Well LIve Long Live how you want.. Be Smart.. thanks for sharing and helping others learn.. :) Happy Uhauling Bro Been there done that so have lots of tips if you need them...

[@jasontheron7655]

Dude, I've totally done this exact thing on several occasions. As a mover, I drive these trucks everyday. Some trips take me many states away and sometimes its cheaper to rent local and return it rather than out of state drop off. So, lots of trips with empty truck on way back. To save money or just to be a weirdo, I would spend the nights in the back just as you did. Full on camp style. Door open most evenings overlooking awesome scenery, other evenings in a city with the door closed. My solution to keep people from latching me in...a pad lock directly on the little cross bar where the large hook latches. It keeps anyone from even being able to latch it, let alone lock it. Ratchet strap on inside is the best. Works like a charm. Great video! New sub.

Happiness is a choice. When you said "life is good" as you hung out in a u-haul, I realized I've been stressing to much about dumb stuff.

[@AllenFarlow]

And, honestly, that's all it is, stuff. The more money people make, the more stuff they buy and consequently the more stuff they have to worry about someone stealing from them. Why have it in the first place? I lived in a small box truck and converted the 12' long box into a home on wheels. I had a shower, bed, overhead cabinets, closets, lights, microwave, tv, dvd player, sink, stove, everything I needed. Propane heat, toasty in winter. I enjoyed working for minimum wage yet living like a king. It was steak most night, even Red Lobster once in awhile. I traveled all over the U.S. for 14 straight years. Never needed a motel room. I could travel for the cost of food and gas. Went north in summer and south in winter. Now I'm a wage slave renting half of a duplex. Miss the easy life. Only time I could ever save money earning minimum wage. It's not ideal if you have kids but for a single man or a couple it's great.

Many evenings when I got off work I would just stay parked in the employee parking lot. No reason to fight rush hour traffic to go anywhere, I have everything I need right there. While everyone else is fighting traffic and getting stressed out, I was sitting back eating dinner. I'd drive where I want after rush hour was over and the streets were clear and the driving was easy. Life can be good!

[@csnievessings]

I have thought about learning to drive, purchasing a minivan or truck to convert it into a tiny home myself. I also considered the dangers of a single 50+ woman all alone in the middle of wherever I park. Is it safe enough, will I be able to sleep, what if? All of it creates the doubt that stops many from taking a first step towards change. I think I would feel safer in a van style home than in a shelter, on the streets or on a ferry where I spent countless nights when I had nowhere to go. Thank you for sharing your video, your positive attitude will serve as an inspiration to others.

[@chrisloydmas8499]

You and I both. I can't find anywhere to reasonably rent that allows my breed of dog and I've got 3 weeks to move out of my cousins so I decided to buy a van and convert it. I'm a 23 year old carpenter and I've been doing remodeling since I was 16 so Its going to be a fun experience but getting accustomed to having my home on every job site is gonna be weird simply because of the dog aspect but we will both adapt nonetheless.

[@chrisloydmas8499]

@@csnievessings get a shotgun. They are cheap and very effective. If you want to take the time and got through very useful and necessary training, get a concealed carry license and purchase a handgun. It helps you sleep better at night, not because you feel empowered and think you can just shoot anybody and everybody, but simply because you have the power, if necessary to stop a lethal threat with little hassle if properly trained and an ideal break in situation occurs. Anything can happen and if you were to get either of the weapons mentioned, practice in a practical situation with the said van you are planning to convert. Practice in your current living situation as well and never stop coming up with possible scenarios to train for, because you can never be too prepared. Don't become a person that relies solely on that weapon either, because not all situations call for it. You have to understand the power to discern and use reasonable judgment in all aspects. I feel the only thing stopping you is the what ifs. Same for me. I have no other choice tho so now I have gotten past the what ifs and its full speed ahead. Purchasing an astro in the next 2 weeks.

[@mjareacts2731]

I'm pretty sure he's having a fantastic time, but I have to admit I enjoy my homestead, and all the amenities and toys that comes with it. But before anyone says something, I do know how to survive off the grid. I'm a war vet of 24yrs, and unfortunately I spent two years homeless because I defended myself against someone who tried to rob me (in Virginia). This was literally about a month and a half after I retired, and I was convicted with assault with a deadly weapon. I served 10 months in a private jail, and during that time ended up losing everything. 6yrs later I was able to purchase a 4200qft home with just under a acre of land, a 2020 LT Trail Boss 6.2L, 2019 Impala Premier, and last Wednesday I bought a 2021 Slingshot SL. Life is good.

That's kool...but did you notice that the gov has it'$ hand out every yr for taxes on every thing you mentioned. So in addition to "owning" those things...you get to pay "rent" once a yr to the gov. Own anything long enough and you might as well have bought it twice...seems like to me! I never thought about it before now ...but it sure makes me wanna run away from home and "join the circus". Don't worry tho...you're just another slow learner like me... Almost 76 ...and just figured it out! There's light at the end of the tunnel ! Just go to the light! But, before you do...make sure you designate who you want to leave it to...(all yer stuff!). So, the gov can once again help you out of another chunk 'o change. Leave it to them to figure out how to wrangle a tax payment outta your cold dead body!

[@YsabetJustYsabet]

Innovative and intelligent! Just a thought: I've been in a situation where I had to camp in uninsulated, very cold surroundings; if you can put one of those metallic 'survival' thermal blankets below your mattress you'll do yourself a lot of good-- all that heat that the metal is stealing away will instead be reflected right back to you, and it can raise the temp of your sleeping situation several degrees. That doesn't sound like much, but there's a big difference between, say, 35F and 40F. If you can find a large one and actually bring the edges up around you (think "partially wrapped baked potato") it'll work even better. You do lose a lot of heat upwards, but the ground/floor below you will leach it out in no time; a reflective surface really helps. Another trick, one which has saved my butt (or at least my comfort level and my health) while camping outdoors: hot water bottles! You know, the cheap rubber ones you can get from Walmart or CVS or wherever? Make some fleece covers for them (or use old sweatshirts, though the fleece is better), heat up some water on your campstove (not to boiling; boiling will kill the rubber), fill them and tuck them into the foot and middle of your sleeping bag or whatever. Cover them up *thoroughly* and leave them in there for half an hour or so, and when you crawl in you'll be toasty. Forget heating-packs, forget butane hand-warmers... these are safe, simple, reusable and wonderful. Just be sure you tighten the stoppers well!

[@jburch8583]

That water bottle 💡is genius yo

[@ericsmith3495]

Yes, those "tin foil" blankets work wonders, they have sleeping bags and entire tents made from that material, I was out in cold weather and used the tin foil sleeping bag inside of a regular sleeping bag (I believe it was a minus 120 degree sleeping bag) and I actually got hot, so that material absolutely works and could save lives.

From someone who spent 7 months living every other week in the back of my car during the first covid lockdown (shift worked week on week off) this video really hit home for me. Had a few occasions where it was 0 degrees during the night, I had a mattress and army sleeping bag, then when it got a little warmer moved to duvet and some blankets. The worst part was finding places to wash and stay clean (originally had planned on using the gym each day but they shut down because of covid), and also getting a hot meal. I worked on chemical sites so couldn’t have combustibles in the car for cooking or keeping warm etc. Great site loving watching the videos.

Just happen to come across your channel so decided to give it a shot. I’m a (young) retired 60 year old and have been thinking about the nomad van life ....at least to give it a try. How you did the u-haul stealth camping just made it seem so simple and uncomplicated. It just showed how simple we can live if we choose to so thanks soooo very much! I’ve. Watched numerous “how to” videos on the nomadic life style, what to live in, how to build it out or what not to do, what you absolutely do or do not need (depending on the clog presenter),etc. and they all have some points of validity in their own way. But you actually SHOWED how simple we can do things - even if it’s only temporary. So thanks so much again for an honest look at this life you live. And FYI - I damn near started salivating watching you eat that delicious steak! Peace to you my new friend......

[@kathyjordan54]

Hi Bonnie. I agree. I've watched a LOT of videos too but I've never seen one like this. Very good! Talking about how simply you can get started, have you watched "VanCity Van Life" channel? You might enjoy it. He started with a bare extended cargo van, just threw in the basics and took off. He added things as he needed and could afford them. He didn't even have electricity or insulation for months! He kept expenses low and stayed close to his home (Vancouver) so he could pay off $20k of debt quickly. Vancover is beautiful and I feel like he's been my tour guide. Beautiful videos. And he is sooo positive, excited and inspiring! He's been doing this for over 2 years now and has traveled across Canada. I've been binge-watching his videos from the beginning.. Here's the link: kzbin.info/aero/PLzjkjqEYjKpaX-y6GiHXPmlQP4UdMSNcl But you might want to start with his video on how he "built out" his van in 1 day. Here's that link: kzbin.info/door/85rJiWmYQV8Shk3QWXT8MQ That's what got me interested in his channel. Then, you can watch from the beginning if you want to. He's convinced me! But first I have to clean out my house (that I've lived in for 20 yrs!), my office and 2 storage units. I can't buy a "nomad" vehicle until I can sell my house and get the equity out.
