I enjoyed the opening comment, seeing Lindy's rig set up but what she said at the end about fear and over thinking hit home. I recently found my son and I displaced right before a Northland winter as my landlord is going to a nursing home and his kids are selling his properties. I literally have days. Although my goal was to be nomadic eventually after I dealt with the final preparations, and I do feel somewhat ready, I have friends and family that insist on shaking my confidence. My real fear is being stuck in a Minnesota winter without a rig. I wish people in my life could be half as inspiring and encouraging as this woman. Thanks for the video. I needed this today.

I love this one. Its great seeing how content Lindy is with her minimalistic lifestyle. It is very liberating to step away from the consumerist culture. I live in a no build SUV and I love it. I used to dream of having a big winnebago but I now definitely prefer a small set up. She gives great advice here saying not to over plan your build just go out and start and put it together as your need and living style requires. I've been a nomad 5 years or so now and I've had a few different sets ups in that time. Initially I had in my mind to create the perfect set up and stick to it but I think that's more a realestate type thinking. In nomadic life its all about change and adapting to your surrounds. I'll definitely go and give Lindy a follow , thanks for sharing 😊❤️

I've lived in my car becuase I went homeless, it wasn't a choice & it wasn't prepared to live in. But I still don't know how people do this. I was constantly terrified, didn't know where to be; slept at a truck stop & during day sat under an overpass at a park, was severely overheated day & freezing at night & dehydrated, not eating, etc...I just hope the people profiled do this by full choice with no other conditions, not in any way forced into this financially. Because if it's not your full choice it's absolutely homelessness & it's really really scary. More power to people who do this for their own personal pleasure.

I like these minivans mainly because of the under storage. However, I believe that the sienna's like mine are larger. I have not decided to remove the third row, in case I decide to sell it. In my 2016 i have most of my needed stuff neatly in the rear, leaving me with ample room, doors free, no clutter. I just roll out a twin trifold mattress. I believe that three medium frame people can comfortably sleep in it. After having dealt with a bed for a while, I decided to rearrange my stuff and just toss the mattress on the floor for sleeping. I can use that space to shower, exercise, stretch, entertain, etc. I also left the third row small seat still standing and I use it to sit for whatever I need, and is a legal seat for those occasions when I need to carry that extra passenger. Inside, I carry 2 of those three drawers plastic containers a small alpicool, my mini battery and pecron lfp 600 power station, some totes for a decent amount of clothing and other sleeping linens. I do not use a stove but I carry a very small one butane just in case, for those gloomy days. I believe; I finally have the set up that works for my life style. Enjoy your travels! Nice setup!
I live in a small house in east Texas...less than 700 sq ft. People make fun of me be cause I have pretty much lived a minimalist life style for several years,I only use lights etc when needed or use rechargeable lights..my electric bill is usually just the minimum for service same with gas and water...I basically live in 1 room...would love to down size to a RV or van...being in a wheelchair for the most part would make that a bit difficult....maybe 1 day I'll figure out how

I would like a tiny home and a yard. We use to have tons in my area, but people have bought them up, expanding properties with monster homes that only a few can afford. Banks and towns encourage this because of increased mortgage interest and property taxes. Sad thing is the young, old and those who earn less can't survive. With so many of us wanting and needing a simpler way of life, hope we can find places to build these type of communities. It's frustrating to see all these empty monster houses when so many need smaller homes.

Lindy or Bob….i had the same discover of not having a spare with my Dodge Caravan. I bought my van through enterprise car sales. They do not tell you “there is no spare either”. I happened to find out when i took my care in for maintenance. Trying to find a spare, with shortages in the chain and no help was tricky. Finally after many attempts i went to Firestone tires. They were wonderful. They found a new spare tire for me. The dodge dealerships. No help at all. Also, i have recently heard they no longer make the dodge caravans. My van is 2018. Bought it at 35,000 miles. I drove from California to Nashville TN, not knowing there was “no spare”. So spread the word out there. Many cars are no longer “spare tire” with purchase. Road side service can only help you so much. If your in a small little town our in no where. You will be waiting a good while before some comes. I have triple A too. Love your rig lindy.

I hate tire shopping worse than anything. Last year I was having to do it all over again, after doing it the previous year. I had always assumed that Firestone would be more expensive than the other big box tire stores… I was so wrong! Pre ordered online, & the next day I zipped in & zipped out… saving $50 on ONE tire!!!! Also, checked on the tires I had bought the previous year, & those had a considerable savings. Been kicking myself ever since.
