Living on the Streets of San Diego, California in my U-Haul conversion Van

Today I'm sharing my typical day as a KZbinr living in a van in San Diego California. Waking up on the street, driving to the beach, and filming a live stream. I want to show you what San Diego California really looks like, Dont believe everything you see in the news, Its pretty nice out here 😎
Also, Ill be sharing my thoughts on the nomad internet hotspot. I have been using it for 5 months now and a lot of folks are asking how it works.

It's so interesting to watch this. My late husband and I did van life 20 years ago with paper maps, no cell phones all over the country. We spent a lot of time in Ocean Beach, it wasn't crowded then and so wonderful. I went back to Ocean Beach in 2020, I was shocked how crowded OB was

[@nomadbrad503]

im sure it was lovely back then

[@Nonduality]

Ocean Beach in the 60s was like being in a dream if you were young and open.

[@nomadbrad503]

oh man, I believe it! take me back to the days before the standard Amercian diet poisoned everyone

[@lindaseiffert2737]

If everyone would just be clean..respectful..and quiet...people would be less inclined to bother them...good job . Good life❤

Living your best life, without property tax.

[@nomadbrad503]

thats what im saying! just wait though, the government will come up with a new tax for people who dont pay rent or a mortgage. im old enough to remember when Obama taxed me for not having health insurance 😂

[@WerkToday]

@@nomadbrad503 the most terrifying phrase in American can hear is..."hello we are from the government and we are here to help you"..-Ronald Reagan

[@reverendprophet]

@@nomadbrad503 you mean the congress. Obama signed it. And they call it Obamacare. But it was the republicans who insisted on the penalty "tax" for the non-insured. The democrats conceded to their wishes (also eliminating the public option which would've kept costs down for everyone) and then the republicans STILl didn't vote. Masterful politics if you don't give a shit at all about the people of the country. The original obamacare, modelled after romneycare and originally a REPUBLICAN idea would've saved this country TRILLIONS while ensuring that most people had better care than they could ever have afforded on their own. Well done washington, you've fucked us all again!

[@DeliberateNRandom]

We have people with residency in Texas for income tax live in Montana with no sales tax. I've had a few people fly up to get their Montana residency from California. One guy said he was using his son's address, he doesn't talk to him, and then mailed it to California. Has all his vehicles registered here, "because it's cheaper", registered to vote here, too. Then had the nerve to complain about what he is doing about other people. I'd say about 75% of the licenses I transfer are from California. Several from Oregon or Washington, a few from Minnesota, Arizona and Texas. Those are the typical ones. Not much from the rest.

Starlink is great for off grid use. I have a starlink and it was so surreal being able to get online while parked on the rim of the grand canyon and my phone had 0 service. That being said, you're completely right. It's a pain. For city living I would use something like what you're describing. But if I was gonna spend a few months on the road in places with no towers, starlink is a great back up. Plus you can turn starlink on or off each month as you need it.

[@nomadbrad503]

Yeah, starlink would definitely be something to consider for off grid living.

[@HandySolution]

@@nomadbrad503 I have Starlink on my van.. It's a game changer!! I game in my van with no problems...

[@joeblow1942]

If you have no cell coverage will your phone work using Starlink wifi?

[@bdmenne]

@@joeblow1942totally seems like you would have WiFi at that point. Cool idea behind that is you could reduce your data package if a lot of your time is WIFI. B/C WiFi doesn’t even need a cellular plan to work. Interesting. Makes that STARLINK A LITTLE cheaper then if I hardly need data. I pay for unlimited right now which is $75 a month.

@joeblow1942 Yes it will

I've seen indoor/outdoor slippers recommended by van lifers on at least one "essential" list, which would definitely be on my list too. I'm vacationed on Coronado Island and Carlsbad and have fond memories from both trips. You are such a good and descent man! Too bad they broke the mold!

[@MrQwiksix21]

Born an raised in San Diego. Still live here. The problem with the eased ticketing is coming. It's the METH and FENTYNAL FUELED people living in cars and non operational rvs with stolen bikes stacked on the roof. Trash in every direction. The property theft around where the vehicles are parked. People stealing power. Stealing water(for rv) dumping BLACK WATER. It's gonna get like venice, portland and The Bay.

Hey Charlie! Unfortunately, I did not get a video of the ceiling. I insulated it the same way as the walls. Cut rigid foam to fit between the aluminum rails. Then I screwed the panel board into the aluminum rails. It was pretty simple

Let's hold Brad down and tattoo his chest. lol 😆 every time he does a video without a shirt, that's another tat!

lol Im proud to have 0 tattoos

No, no tats needed. They look so ugly when people get older and then people go overboard on them. Just like piercings I don’t understand it. If you want to use your body as a canvas use temporary ink or something. In 30 years it looks like bad graffiti.

@@burly636 I agree with you!
