Living full-time in my rolling tiny home has been the best decision of my life. Off-Grid living offers a peace and connection to life that you just can't explain. When i first started van life i build a stealth camper van with the mindset the you had to live a stealth van life and i soon discovered that you can just live the city van life and boondock in the countryside and as long as you are respectful of the backcountry and cities you live in. Stealth van life in not necessary. Be proud of the life you choose to live, Share this van life journey with everyone. Remember Tiny Homes and The whole tiny house lifestyle is very popular and #vanlife is no different. When you don't hide it people will come say hi and ask you questions. The world is more curious than hateful. Well......Welcome to my everyday van life adventures. My name is Chrome Valdez and i travel full-time with Cruz the bulldog. Stay weird everyone and thank you for being here.

Suggestion : put a short piece of chain between your rear doors so you can have them open a couple of inches but not enough for the bear to get in ( or anybody else )

It’s the new American dream. My 23-year-old son explained to me that his generation doesn’t want the miserable life they saw their parents live. That being said, I’m building a van, and he’s going to settle into a house. But I told him if he ever wants to move, we can rent out the house for almost twice his house payment in our area. Plus, I’ll put in an RV pad we can rent out for $500/month, so no worries. 🚐🐶❤️

@diana3599 4 жыл бұрын
often those type of movies/shows (that are successful) have layers of meaning. Things for the youngsters and some adult humor also. My nieces, I am sure, thought I was very odd as i would laugh out loud as we watched Spongebob, so many years ago. Now they are old enough to appreciate it as adults also.

No birds? You can always put a line between 2 trees and hang up your smelly butt smoky clothes. If you have fabreeze in caneda spray that on, it freshens and de-stinkifies. That light you used is Awsome... It makes the woods floor sooo spooky, yeahhh. Xx

Your worry about bears can be so true. I was In northern Wisconsin at my son's. We were told to be careful that our neighbor was a pervert. Anyway in the middle of the night I heard this loud breathing outside my window. I told the neighbor to go home. The next morning I decided to confront him, but I decided to check for shoe prints first. Turns out the prints we're the largest bear prints I ever saw. The only thing between me and the bear was a nylon screen🤪 I've never opened that window since.
