LIVING IN MY CAR: A TYPICAL DAY | Katie Carney

[@woodstyleah]

I've been living in my Nissan Murano for 3 weeks working 50 hours a week where I have to show up. Its saved me tons of money. I must say though nobody would follow any video I made due to every morning waking up looking like Medusa yet worse! Still worth it💜

I see alot of judgemental comments but some people are just plain wrong. I lived in a car for a month but it was a choice. I got the BEST sleep I've ever gotten and woke up without back pain for once. It becomes an adventure to literally visit a new area everyday. Not everyone does it because they're financially struggling

Girl I used to live in our vehicle too. I wish I had known about those pins. We used to stuff towels down in the gasket by the window. Or drape a towel over the window and shut the door on it. I cannot tell you how many times I woke up soaking wet because it started raining in Tennessee and if you've ever been to West Tennessee you will know it rains a lot that's why it's so green and beautiful here. But the towels would absorb the rain water and then start dripping on me. Even now living in an apartment me and my husband talk about how comfortable and peaceful it was living in the van versus actually living in an apartment. I told him when we buy our own house the in the backyard or even in the woods that we're going to put a vehicle back there just so we can get away from everything LOL

[@Reesicup]

I lived out of my car for like 6-8 months (w/my cat) because I would be traveling a lot back and forth between CA and NV. It was kind of like an adventure. And Zoey, my cat, liked the car rides. I had set up her carrier in the back seat with a cat bed strapped ontop so she could look out the window while we drove. I had the carrier strapped in and the front passenger seat leaning back against it to anchor it in. She had a covered litter box in the back (the flooring lined with trash bags) strapped inyo my cargo rings in my trunk (i had a hatch back). But she usually waited until she could go out to go. Id go to a park sometimes while I would work on my laptop or make calls, etc. I'd crack the back door open so she could go out to play, climb a tree, etc. Or Id get out too and play with her. She never went out of my line of sight.. I'd call her back after maybe an hour or so and she'd hop back in the car. Her favorite was going into Petsmart to watch the bird enclosures. She wore a harness when traveling or when she was out of the car. I went to the gym to shower and work out (which is when Zoey would usually go play and explore the park next door (she was an indoor/outdoor cat anyway)). I often would park overnight in hospital parking lots, or at rest stops (of course) when traveling. It was an interesting adventurous time in my life, for sure.

[@chantalperez7815]

I lived in my car with my cat for two months, alternating sleeping in the car and camping in a tent, and I don't think my cat's ever been happier X-D He never once got lost, always knew where to come find me in the morning after spending the night hunting and having fun discovering a new place. He had the trunk of the car to himself (without the flat covering thing that hangs behind the back seats obviously) with his carrier and his litter box. At night, he generally slept on me if we were in the car or at the foot end of my small one person tent if he felt like it. It was really nice to have the company. The litter box didn't get that much use actually because he would rather way for the stops. I didn't keep him on a leash, I tried at first but they haven't invented a harness he will not get out of but he always comes back when I call and never strays too far from sight so after the initial worry, I just accepted that he was his own cat and trusted that he would come back to me. It worked out X-D

[@lunarosa5111]

What part of cali?

[@chartheboujeecamper]

omg that is my life right now! but without any pets. I travel from Long Beach to Summerlin in Vegas. It is quite an adventure but sometimes I do go all the way to Utah. I come back to California whenever it gets hot in Vegas then back to Vegas whenever it gets cold there. :)

[@sh0eh0rn4]

the way I change my shirt in a car is this: I take the new shirt and I’ll put it over my head, but I won’t put my arms through. I’m completely covered. then, I will take my arms out of the sleeves of the old shirt and pull it up to my shoulders. then I put my arms in the sleeves of the new shirt. at this point, I am then able to pull the old shirt out through the head-hole of my new shirt and that’s it! hard to explain but it works and no one sees anything.

[@heatherlouise814]

thats impressive

[@juiceboxie]

Serious question... what would be the MASSIVE rush to get a shirt on if you're far away from other people and cars? I don't live in my car but I've changed in my car plenty of times and I guess I just don't understand what the big hurry is and what all that extensive planning is for? Not trying to be a bitch... just really trying to understand!

[@ElfGreatTree]

Katie, its probably not a good idea to leave an inverter plugged in because it will wear out the electronics in the inverter over time. Only plug it in when you are using it. Keeping the inverter on/draining the battery without the car being on is a bad idea as well, since if the car is on the alternator is running and that will re-charge the cars battery, otherwise you are draining your car battery and thats not good.

I'm in Australia, but they probably sell these anywhere.. in our Kmart you can get a "back seat organiser" which is just a thing that hangs on the back of a seat with a whole heap of pockets and things. I hang mine on the front of my passenger seat for snacks and lip balm and things like that and they are super handy for finding homes for tortilla chips :)

I have a Honda fit. Small. But I agree, it's cozy and comfortable. I raise my headrests on the front seats and put a blanket on them. Then I attach the blanket on each side above the doors and I have my own little cave. The back seats are folded down so I get the whole back seat/hatch area. A lot of room for one or a couple. My back windows are tinted so it's private. I love seeing how other gypsy's live and get new ideas! Thank you for the videos!

Sid Tinted windows are pretty normal. 😂 Not auspicious at all you just need to check the laws for where the car is registered as to how dark you can get them tinted.

[@coloritgreenbehappy]

I've lived like Katie for a period-- in my car, moving around to different public lots, working, vigilant, even had tinted windows. I relate to the carefree attitude of Katie here, but it also unsettles me. So I just want to say (for anyone reading comments) that there will likely come a time when one is forced to not only understand but also *feel* the reality of just how vulnerable you and your belongings are when you are a young solo woman living in your car. Even when checking off all the precautions-- nothing visible in car, blocking windows, changing locations, 'safe' areas, etc. - it only takes one bad encounter to f*ck everything up. After having my car broken into and losing valuables and on another occasion narrowly avoiding a scary situation, I could rarely ever feel safe or at ease enough to relax in my car or to leave my car without anything I valued on my person. I could meet all of my needs (hygiene, food, sleep, income) but I was always on alert and this became emotionally taxing. It took a few instances for me to really get how vulnerable I was and how little chance I stood against anyone set on harming me with this lifestyle.

[@AylaASMR]

Have you ever thought about getting one of those backseat air mattresses? They fill up the space behind the front seats, so maybe it’ll be easier for you to stretch out completely!

[@misslovelace89]

Ayla ASMR it looks like she has bins and books down there. She probably needs that space for storage.

[@AylaASMR]

GlitterPewbs storage on the roof would help with that :)

[@MrEmpireBuilder0000]

There's probably enough room for a futon on one side and all her gear up to the ceiling on the other side. Just get good sturdy bins that won't topple or use bungee cords to hold them against the door? I agree. A futon is what I used for my van stay.

Just threw some papertowels in there to absorb water and threw in my garbage. Sounds pretty pathetic if you’ve never been depressed or ACTUALLY NEVER HAVE lived in a vehicle.

Hi Katie, I think that battery charger will be OK if your car is running. You could probably leave it plugged in for a little while with the car shut off but I would be afraid to leave it plugged in for a long time with the car shut off.

[@livefreeordie4850]

Yep

[@stevenperry9122]

Shelly Mac why? The charging port isn’t connected to the battery when the car isn’t on.

[@JA-eq5um]

@@stevenperry9122 really? Turn in your man card if you even have one. Okay clueless this is the reason why you don't want that plugged in while the car is not on. It's because it will drain the battery while the car is running you have an alternator which helps charge and regulate the current to the battery. If the car is not running and you're using the electrical devices inside the car which includes charging other phones or laptops it puts 100% of the strain on the battery. Do you understand that.

Actually there are lots of women driving trucks now, and they sleep at truck stops. Truck driving is essentially living from a car (vehicle) anyways. My wife is on her way home from a road trip, and is Prius camping. She is doing great, and she sleeps at either truck stops or Wal Mart parking lots. She also has covers for her windows she made herself from cardboard and fabric. The shapes are custom fit to the windows, so you don't have to worry about light getting in, or lack of privacy.

[@k1ghz960]

I lived in my truck/camper, boats, condemned buildings, etc. for about 30 tears of my life, and preferred it to living in a high rent noisy apartment. There's more peace of mind without the stress of having to meet the rent each month, talk about a buzz-kill. I did this in the 70's, 80's, and 90's. There was more space then, cause the world was not as crowded and you could park almost anywhere. It's clearly much tougher now, so you have my complete respect. You remind me of a woman I know when you wear the round glasses. I love your vid's, there was no internet or cell-phones at that time, a very different world, indeed. I think you're lovely.

Cathie Dawson, reading through these comments and hearing backlash when anyone tries to give advice really makes me feel uncomfortable about leaving a comment, but whatever, here I go. While I agree with you about her getting a larger vehicle, I also think she could benefit from a more capable vehicle as well. *If her goal is to "travel" then she needs a ride that's capable of leaving the pave roads and accessing all the free BLM (burea of land management) lands*, this would open up a whole new world for her! I personally have a 2015 Forester XT (a regular Forester would be better at fuel economy, 32 MPG) that I'm able to live out of. I can't speak more highly of it. From the spacious sleeping area 6 ft, 5 in. to the panoramic moonroof to star gaze yourself to sleep. This vehicle has taken me to some incredible places. Most recently I camped out for two nights on the a cliff overlooking Zion National park, and just a week ago I drove up within 3 feet from the waters edge at Lake Mead and spent the day relaxing next to warm aqua blue water. The best part of it, the dispersed campsites I have access to are absolutely EPIC & FREE!! Please don't take this comment the wrong way. I know she' said she's content with her Yaris, but her #1 goal is to travel right? There's more to life than city living. Imagine driving to a natrual hotspring in the middle of winter while the snow is still falling on you and then... dipping in.

[@genesisarlynrodriguez3830]

If you go online search up Simple Mobile. They have a Mobile Hotspot Device that its so small and can take it with you on the go. You can connect up to 10 devices and it’s only a 30 day plan for just $50 a month.

[@mattbroomer2000]

Do you have a smoke alarm in your car incase of electrical fire while you are asleep? The invertor should be fine for the battery. Batteries need replacing every 5 years or so anyway.

[@cailin5309]

RandomMattyness I’m sure she’d realize it quickly considering the close quarters lol

[@mattbroomer2000]

Many people die from fires while sleeping. It doesn't have to be her car on fire. Just one nearby with enough toxic fumes to ensure she doesn't wake up.

[@dawnrandazzo9790]

a carbon monoxide alarm would be a good idea as well

[@dalev.7508]

You’re amazing. Keep living a positive life! You look flawless too. Thanks for the vids

[@aileendiazdeleon2485]

YOUR SKIN. UGH goals

[@spiralsun1]

I made a solar panel mount for my roof, and I have a power inverter and a big battery pack which will charge my phone 55 times, or my laptop completely twice which is worth 2 days usage. The battery pack has 3 regular 3 prong outlets and USB outlets. The 100 watt solar panel charges in one day. It charges from the car too if I need to. I also have a jump pack battery pack which I can charge in the car or from the solar panel too in case the car battery goes dead if I fall asleep with something on.... happened once. The jump pack also has USB outlets. I go to meetups all over LA area. Last 2 days, went to 4 meetups including a screenwriters meeting and Toastmasters but my favorite was “A Course in Miracles” reading group. I am going to try those wipes, Lol!!

[@denua22]

What's the point of traveling to see new places if you spend most of your time around chain stores like TJ Maxx and Target? No shade, I'm just curious.

[@Nighthawk198421]

I totally like this had to because I didn't have a spot for my dog after a break up. You amazing...

[@easerrano86]

Do u have medical insurance? What about mail? Also, what do u so when it's hot or cold outside? And here's a suggestion: use car shades to cover your windows instead of shirts.

[@kennethlaw5216]

Nini S there are a ton of videos out there on mail, insurance, divers license, all of it. she has a job, even though she works remotely doesn't mean it's not like any job, even if you work from home they still pay your insurance

[@Slyfox2388]

Kenneth Law most company's dont pay all insurance. my husband only gets 30% and theys lucky cuz most dont pay any at all.

[@traww9537]

Most cars have heat and ac..

[@cornelbuckley]

As long as the car's power socket is NOT always live, you can leave the power inverter plugged in, because there in no current draw from the battery until you turn on the ignition. If you don't have a permanent address, how do you get your package deliveries from city to city?

[@chrissierg]

does anyone know what type of work this is; customer service writing emails; but how do you apply for that and where... :)

[@smoochumstar]

This just looks exhausting to me....

[@y.harris9579]

It is 😔

[@marshmallow1488]

Jolene Looks lonely too.

[@tiarrasmusic]

I agree! My head hurts hearing her and watching her daily life but at the same time, I LOVE HER!!

[@tiarrasmusic]

Marsh Mellow, you're right. It also looks very lonely.😢

[@frugalfrugal1307]

It probably offers similar social opportunities to working from home as a single person. If anything, she's not tied to one geographic location socially which is really interesting. 😀

[@magicyoume1180]

You are so beautiful . I admire that you have the freedom to do what you want & live life on your own terms . I am glad that living differently is becoming more acceptable and find it interesting that people are creating ways to do that, so they can expirence things & go places they would otherwise not be able to .

[@malikalbritton784]

Time capsuling really WORKS!!!!

[@emilyw.6467]

You have REALLY great skin! How do deal with receiving packages you've ordered online? Do you send it to a friends? Random house? Business ? This is all so interesting to me.

[@addyfolsom9480]

Emily W Obviously I don’t know what she does, but I work for ups and you have the option to have a pkg help and you just got pick it up! I’ve also done that for a personal package that went through the post office that I wanted to pick up early in the morning instead of waiting all day for to be delivered! Super handy

[@emilyw.6467]

Addy Folsom oh yeah! I forget that's an option. 😂 I guess if it's not something you have to worry about, you just don't!

[@L.L.Cool.T]

Amazon also allows you to have your package delivered at certain places (grocery stores, 7-11, school campus) in these designated lockers. Very convenient!

[@raechellie]

A po box is $50 for 6 months. You can pay for the entire year ($100) or six months at a time. If there are companies that don't deliver to po boxes, I use a friends home address.

[@lauraborabeee]

I’m sure she probably has like a P.O. box or something.

[@honda9885]

Using an inverter does not harm your car battery, as long as the car is running, with engine on, when you are using it. If you turn the key once and the car is not actually running for a hour or more your car battery will drain and you will need a jump to start the car. If you keep letting the battery drain, in the long run you will have to buy a new car battery. If the battery has no charge you will have to take it to Autozone, Orilley's, etc. They will charge it for free. It does take a few hours to charge.

[@ScorpioCrystal]

What type of company do you work since you are working from your car? Thank you! 👍🏼

[@darrylspain316]

Can you fit small bins in your trunk? I'd love to see you tackle having more organization...a specific place for everything. Also, maybe some type of fabric that can wrap all around the inside of your car to cover all the windows at once.

[@mysurlytrucker7510]

Why not ditch your back seat , then you can sleep right through from the back , your windows get the blinds to have something more useful and regular each night what camera do you use.

[@fishface6247]

I agree. I took out my back seat and I sleep feet in trunk and head to front of car. I can fit a queen size futon mattress and it is pretty comfortable.

[@mysurlytrucker7510]

Fish Face the futon mattresses a good idea

[@fishface6247]

One week down. I'm not going to lie extremely hot. But after about 9:30pm it started to cool down and I honestly got the best sleep I ever had in my life. I slept in a Walmart parking lot and my job's parking lot. I'll probably stick with the walmart parking lot. I just called a bunch of walmarts and asked if they offered Overnight Parking. In Cincinnati only one offers it, so I think that's my new home for a month or two.

[@cailin5309]

Fish Face you can get away with parking in Walmart overnight whether they say they allow it or not. Also sometimes you can park outside a hotel overnight and some of them their WiFi even reaches the parking lot.

[@EPTR1CKS]

I've never really "lived" in a car, but I did sleep in a van for about a month while I was on tour with a band at one point. We slept in walmart parking lots every night and never had a problem. Most of them were 24 hours, but not all of them.

[@aprylmartin793]

Hey in the middle back console you should be able to unlock the seat and get into the trunk. You could always put your pad there and have your feet in the trunk sleeping long ways and you would have alot more room. my husband has had to do it on a couple occasions between school and work.

[@CrossfitCarlos]

Traveling to a new city and i'm mustering up the strength, thanks for the vids.

[@chucku.farley]

what do you do in the summer? living in your car in texas/100+ degrees sounds challenging.

[@LJones69]

How did you find that customer service job where you just answer emails? It seems so hard to find places you can trust to offer legitimate online work. Plus like you, suffering from extreme anxiety I find it very difficult to work in an environment with several people in it or around it. Thanks Katie...... You’re the best!!!

[@lauraborabeee]

Lee Jones so true I would love that job

[@_hernameischris]

Ya Katie! "Put a link below" I used to do online chat customer service and I looooved it but it was in an office setting and my anxiety would not let me be great when I had to talk to/avoid real people

[@madelynn7377]

Just look them up on indeed and glass door there are a tooooon of remote customer service positions. I've been looking for a new job forever and just keep seeing those!

[@BattleAngel20]

@@_hernameischris what was the name of the company u worked for!

[@paulalerose1546]

that tray computer/food holder for the steering wheel is a great idea for anyone. I spend time in ferry lineups and it's a great way to work comfortably for an hour or two. thanks for sharing.

[@searlejessica]

Hey! I just found your channel today, and loving your videos so far, you seem super friendly! :) Could you possibly talk more about your online customer service job? You say you love it, seems interesting! x

[@albertlisty]

What is this answering emails job you have? Do you have to call or talk to people as well?

[@kannieschrijfnie2042]

I really like these style of vlogs that you make. You’re such a nice personality Katie. No wonder you have friends for such a long time. One day there will be someone becoming more than just a friend for sure to grow old together. Have a great week👍

[@Dirtydeborahharry]

Totally obsessed with this channel. love it. What about going to the restroom when you wake up?

[@zaidamorales7365]

Katie when ur wipes dry add water to keep moist..

[@g-bgcg]

Girl you need a chip clip or a jumbo size ziplock. That way your chips will stay fresh. If anyone out there is gluten free (I have Celiac) I use crushed tortilla chips as breading to coat meat before baking it vs gluten free bread crumbs sometimes. So save your stale potato and corn chips for that. Thanks for the video ❤️

[@batoolasif6447]

Do you use your trunk for anything?

[@jrjulesrules1]

Sticking pins in your headliner every night is going to mess it up. You should find another way to cover windows .maybe tint your windows also. They have those window covers that use really good suction cups. Anyway just a suggestion .

[@ericaaguilar9300]

The laundry mat maybe

[@reubenwyoung]

I lived in my car for a year back in 2009. The best way to sleep was upside-down in the drivers seat with a pillow where the knees would bend and my legs over the back seats, in the rear window lol You should consider a van for safety and privacy? Just bought a van for $800 and about to move in at the end of the month! So excited to have a mattress and to be able to stretch out!
