    I've been telling people about my "no build" camping style and they basically think I'm homeless No I have a home, plenty of friends and family with plenty of money and I'm self employed ! I just didn't wanna spend 50k on a van! I like camping, not being in an apartment on wheels This let's you go everywhere and you get to save your cash on gas. It's so much smarter and much more rewarding God bless 🙌

    I have been using a car as a camper for decades. I am now on my 4th car. If you go on a longer trip, I suggest that you remove the rear seats and install a piece of plywood for your bed. The space taken up by those folded down seats will give you a lot of extra storage space.

    Awesome. Thank you! A suggestion is putting the bear spray somewhere more quickly accessible? Though a tip I also have heard is motion sensors to have more time for if wildlife did get curious about the vehicle. Some people also put Pinesol or ammonia smell around the perimeter to deter animals but I need to research that more. I personally am looking also into the tested bear-resistant food storage options. I love a lot about your set-up though including ways you found for things to not freeze.

U passed thru Little Fort en route to Wells Gray Provincial Park. Good fishing up in that area, my late Auntie Silver & Uncle Bob had/have a fishing camp, along Hwy #24, but once the snows gone, alot more car camping opportunities, b4 the bugs come out 😆

    ***** Not sure if this has been brought up, but I’d really recommend getting a car restraint for your dog. I’d hate to think what would happen to him if unfortunately you got into a car accident. The best ones involve a harness and then a leash connecting it somehow to the inside of the car. Keep up the great content!

    For people planning to sleep in their cars in the winter, I’d recommend keeping your underside warm. I was mostly comfortable overnight in blizzard mountain conditions and down to -7f in Wyoming, but I always woke up after 7-8 hours with a cold back. From bottom to top, I layered a 1/4 inch closed cell foam sleeping pad, a cheap polyester(?) blanket, a 3 season Big Agnes inflatable sleeping pad with insulation, and a 30 degree comfort rated marmot sleeping bag
