Luxury Stealth Camping & Gaming in Parking Lot

Semi-retired van lifer here. I did this for about 2 years and can confirm, this lifestyle can be ROUGH. I had a shower and composting toilet in my van (not a gaming rig or a desk) so I had creature comforts and even then, the loneliness was brutal. You have to find and stay in a community and have a routine, otherwise, you'll crumble unless you're super introverted. That being said, I learned more about myself and about the world in those 2 years than I would have in decade. Not only was it worth it, I felt like I needed to do it to really find myself. I turned to van life because I felt like I was rotting from the inside out having lived in the same place for my entire life. Just one of many ways, albeit extreme, to pursue personal growth.

Oh, thank you so much for the lovely mention, Trent! Seeing Millie so happy with her toys, made me feel quite tearful ( in the best way! ). Sending you both another monthly donation, as my continued support and appreciation for you both. Diolch Yn Fawr, Trent and Millie. Thank you ❤

To wash dishes without running water: 2 spray bottles! One with soapy water (just a little soap) and one with clean water. You'll be amazed at how little water you use.

Keep doing what your doing man. Love watching your videos. Just survived my cancer treatment and your videos and seeing you on the road made me feel like I was with you and it was freeing when I couldn’t leave bed. Keep it up, living life on your terms being free and happy is all life is about 🙏

You are living THE life, my dude. A dog, a beautiful mobile home, gaming station AND making money from Youtube. Keep it up and stay safe out there. Cheers from Sweden

9:56 milly just rolling around in the backround was so wholesome!😂

@29:32 Millie in the background rolling around in bed sooo happy! This makes my heart smile💜💜

I was raised in Ohio then moved to the Navajo res., Met my X who was an underground miner and we gradually made our way to WA then to Alaska for 33 years. So, I've seen most of the US and must say, there is beauty in every area. The east is very humid and hot in summers. I like the desert. Enjoy your travels.

Nothing better than a man, his dog and a camp fire. Enjoy

It’s been 7yrs since I did vanlife. I miss it tons. Thank you for your wonderful video that gave me such happy nostalgia. Thank you.

This guy isn’t lonely he embraces aloneness. Not everyone is ready for this but Its a powerful and liberating position to be in and great to see.

Living the dream. I love seeing this kind of stuff, the kind of life I often daydream about as I commute to and from my 9-5.

I absolutely love seeing Millie in the background just having the time of her life, rolling around.

taking the groceries straight from the cart to the cupboards is a dirty flex

Thank you for sharing your adventures. A charming video that reminded me to be thankful. A simple life is a happy life! God bless you and Millie!

Beautiful. Just makes me feel like I’m living a part of my life with you both. Sending lots of love over.

It's really chill watching you be free. To be free is something we all need sometimes. Thanks for the positive Vibes and the amazing time watching you.

Is it weird that I feel comfy watching this dude being comfy?

I recently became homeless and started living out of my mobile mechanic van. I gave up the biz, got a job as a mechanic and started living out of my van, and I regret nothing. I’m in a 2014 town and country it’s small but it’s enough for my needs with an rca cable setup and a dvd player for movies and snes games. At first I thought I was screwed about after the first week, I’m ok with it, I go the Cabela’s parking lot most the time because people camp there every day!

For future reference. Walmart, Academy, or anywhere that sells camping stuff. You could get a gravity shower setup for like 20 or so dollars maybe a lil more. Then you can at least rinse dishes if you have any instance you need a backup. Its basically a bag with a hose attached and you hang it somewhere and the nozzle has a on and off switch. Might or might not help. Great video. Thanks
