Definitely the only thing that would make living in a van more expensive is if something broke, atleast where I’m from. It can be up to a couple thousands especially if you don’t know how to do it yourself.. If you’re renting a house it gets taken care off for you 9/10 times but if you bought one, that again balances it out with thousands for a window if one broke.

@jamie6506
2 жыл бұрын
Sitting like you do in a chair actually makes it much more difficult to complete your bowel movement and leads to straining, which can cause hemorrhoids. This is because when we sit, our rectums have a bend in them that you have to push around, but when we squat, the end of the colon straightens and there's much less resistance on the way out. That's why little kids tend to bend over when they poop; the body knows that is and isn't natural for it. See, nature doesn't take into account how humans prefer to live, it just does what makes sense, and since chairs aren't a part of nature, our bodies are made to squat when we make bowel movements. So there's no need for them to make a chair, and in fact it's best for those of us who do use toilets to prop our feet up so our knees bend and come closer to our chests when we do so. You'll find that your bowel movement become more comfortable and complete, and you'll decrease the risk of injuries that can come from excessive staining.

Most of these van conversions add in a porta-potty of some kind. You should never poop behind a tree and leave it. Same as dog poop, pick it up and dispose of it in a garbage bin. Not just because it looks gross to leave it for someone else to see or clean up but also because it is for basic hygiene. Don't want to contaminate the dirt or possible ground water sources. When you are hiking for off the beaten path, in a national park for instance, the rule is "pack it in, pack it out" and for pooping dig a hole deep enough, 12 inches is recommended, to hide it completely and never near water.

Your toilet situation is why seasoned vaners use disposible bag linned toilets. The cheapest and simplest is the five gallon bucket with toilet seat. Each time it is used number two or two and one combined can then be bagged and put into another bucket with air tight lid for eventual disposal in a public dumster or trash receptacle. Solo number ones can be dumped in any grass or dirt area where it is readily absorbed into the earth. Hand urinals facilitate collection of number one. Ultimately, the above allows you the most freedom/peace of mind eliminating the constant concern of being near public toilet facilities or secluded areas. It also eliminates the smell of portable tolites and the huge task of emptying them. Additionally, a gallon hand pump pressurized yard sprayer filled with water provides great a bidet eliminating the use of almost all toilet paper.

It's almost like vanlife is a glorified version of houseless people sleeping in vehicles that has gotten so mainstream that houseless people cant park in safe places to spend the night anymore. EDIT: I mean houseless. A lot of people sleep in their vehicles out of desperation and rely on them. A lot of people would give anything to have even a bad apartment to live in. What I'm talking about is how it has become a trend. There are thousands of reasons people would turn to living in a vehicle, just like there are reasons people would choose to rent. The issue comes when people do it for fun and feel entitled to the spaces and drive out houseless people from their own communities of people like them. That is the problem, and many houseless people on tiktok have voiced how this is a problem for them. Its the glorification of poverty, in the same way faux worn out, moth eaten, hand me down clothes became, and in the same way lobster and brisket were once poor mans food. I do not know the people in this video, but I do know that people treat vanlife as something quirky and fun and freeing, when it is very difficult and something most people do out of desperation.

I prefer to use a bucket type toilet with double linners. That way you are bagging up your waste for each use and you are not carrying around black water that eventually you need to find a dump spot. Also no odor and can be desposed of in trash cans. Yes, trash cans where people routinely put diapers and animal waste.

for #1, I would suggest using a lumbar roll. Just position it at a comfortable level (I've been doing this for about 3 years, since I got my current car). I just bought a cheap one from the exercise department in Big W that's about 30cm/12" wide - and I sure know when I've got it in the wrong place, but it really makes a difference to how my back feels while driving (and even just as a passenger)

I was recently homeless for 2 months sleeping in my car, so was my boss. Our relationships with our girlfriends went south. Gas adds up to about $800-1,000/month unless you want to sweat yourself to death or freeze. Then add food to that. $15/25 a day x 30 days that’s about 450-750/month. So it costs about $1500-1700 a month to live in your average car and not a lifestyle van. Homeless is not cheap lol

It mostly comes down to good communication and emotional regulation skills, and noise cancelling headphones help if you want to work on different things at the same time. 😊 And of course love.

Some people have no other option and this allows them to not be homeless, others have tech start ups, or run their own businesses. Like if I was IT I could see a lot of options to work from my computer. If I’m writing code or fixing it don’t necessarily need WiFi, artists painters , sculptures, people who work with there hands, Ik on lady gives harp lessons on zoom and fivverr, there’s literally 7 billion people all different types with different skills and career paths that van life

I'm doing a similar thing, but I work in a mine site for say two weeks and then I'm off for a week. The mine takes care of my food and accommodation expenses while I'm there and when I'm out for the week I take care of my own expenses. I think it's a fantastic life, however I only have a car to do it in, not a van. I will have one soon. Looking at the four things that are your challenges, I'm sure it won't take long for you to come up with a solution. But sometimes we just got to bare it, and I think it builds character too. It really causes you to think outside the square and be innovative. Hey all the best to you and your travels. God bless

Honestly the food is a given no matter what ... But for those of us without kitchen set ups as yours, having to get fast food or buy more frequently and throw out more if you have no place to really store. So for sure a must to have quickly is a fridge/cooler something to be able to store extra cold items. Gas ya it's more frequently now that the vehicle is also our home. But gas vs rent? Still way cheaper. Body ... Well I have to walk alot for work so I haven't noticed the soreness y'all have. But will say I have noticed my lower back stiffening after driving alot. And have you noticed your arm and hand tightening an cramping up. Like my left arm is the main one controlling the driving wheel. Ive noticed mine stiffening up and my hand stuck in the grab position where I have to take my other hand an force my kinked hand open an stretch it. Happy Trails
