Loving it! Makes me want to go out camping in my 107 again. Get yourself a carbon monoxide detector and crack a window when cooking though. It could literally be a life or death situation!

I love your positivity and I love your vibe. Something about what you said about eating a ham sandwich in the back of your car and nobody having life figured out really made me happy. You're a good storyteller, keep doing it!!! Love from Texas

I have a micro camper and i love it! I built out my Subaru Forester, it is now my mini overlanding machine, which has taken me all over Australia. I can go off grid indefinitely in it (well, until i run out of food..) but from the outside it is just a car, so i can sleep/park anywhere. I love it! Btw.. so sweet that you ring Becky first thing in your day. I've been subscribed to the beautiful Becky for a long time, she has inspired me a lot in my outdoor life. Obviously found your channel via hers..

The Element camper builds are GREAT for stealth boondocking so long as you stay quiet and dont make it obvious that you are snoozing where you should not be!!!!!!
