Awesome

I guess I don't understand why people end up in such dire straits. My parents came to America with my sister ( my sister was 4 years old). They brought 2 pieces of luggage with them. All they owned were in those 2 pieces of luggage. They had no money. money with them when they arrived. They walked & found an elderly lady with a room for rent. The lady allowed them to stay & pay on pay day. My mom found a job at a cleaners the next day. My Dad found a job as a dishwasher a few days later. My sister went to work with my Mom, who was pregnant with my older brother. When my brother was born, they paid the hospital in cash. They didn't collect free medical care or unemployment. They had me a few years later, then my younger brother. They worked very hard. They ended up paying for each of our college educations, bought us each a new car & gave each of us a down payment for our first homes. We kids helped them learn English & helped them pay bills by helping to spell , so my Mom could write checks. They're amazing. Today, they're enjoying their the fruits of their labor & are retired. Why do people that have all the privilege of being born in America have so much trouble getting ahead? I sincerely have never understood that.

Your comment is amazing, happy for you ..................

Bob Hope, Sorry you struggled like that. And thank goodness you had a car to sleep/live in

Sad to hear. Clearly you weren’t like most homeless people because if you were you obviously would’ve sold your car for drug. This is also why you probably overcame it while most do not

is to bad more people dont appreciate the little things we do have 🙂

Same

I hope your more settled now . Xx

Got that right. Too many are greedy and souless.

So true xxx

True that.

Living out of my truck was the most peaceful time of my life.

So very true!!

Good on ya Deb ya bet it : )

Lmao

I am a woman and, in part, always thought that was a big part of why I had a low likelihood of homelessness. Yet I have lived to see so many women who are homeless.

Of course you could...you do what you have to do.

Can you explain exactly how you did that please?

Hi Giselle. Burning gas doesn't emit fumes and is perfectly safe if you keep it well ventilated. The only additional risk over an electric blanket is a fuel leak or me somehow rolling on top of it and setting myself on fire which I'm confident won't happen with this setup. An electric heater or blanket would also consume so much power from the battery I'd probably only get one or maybe two nights per charge, whereas I can keep enough gas in the car to keep me warm for several nights so I can remain off grid much longer. Finally, my gas heater is also a cooking stove... it's important that things have more than one function when living in a small car... a heater or blanket is a lot of space for only a few uses per year... you've got to look at the bigger picture here Giselle but thanks for watching and for the suggestions!

@@mortdog Imagine rolling around while you sleep...sleeping bag lays on stove or maybe flame goes out. Thats a big problem. Get alarms for that please!

i also don't like the open flames in the car.. imagine it catching fire. 😔 and the very least find a nonflammable substrate for the stoves to rest on. a stone or metal sheet pan. also, the dog jumped at you thinking you would play with her/him.

I use a Jackery in my Camry. I plug in a couple heated mattress pads at night to stay toasty. That way I'm not running my car for heat all night, and going broke on gas!

Hot water bottle is great..

Having a open flame in your car while sleeping is like having a death wish

Meant to say "heat around you" darn corrector LOL

Ugh ..in November I have to msKe a big decision ...but for the life of me dont k ow how I can do it alone with 2 cats and a bunny?

93' camper?

@@furtherahead5867 typo clearly.

I'm glad he had his window cracked at least!

That cracked window is well enough.

@@clawhammer704 I don’t think Kathy was talking about suffocating, I think they were concerned about him accidentally starting a fire while sleeping.

Cozy?

People have live flames in Moorhomes all the time, they're called Gas Cookers , it's not dangerous done what this guys doing numerous times, you just have to be very careful and use your common sense simple really, he's got it nice and cosy happy days❤ what a great Adventure. Thinking of doing a road trip across US and sleeping in my car like this top man.👌😂

Yes 👏👏👏

Thanks for your honestly. I feel similar sometimes. Are you from USA??

@@jcbanbury yes Oregon State

Wow I feel you. 😭 Hello from 🇬🇧

Hope this message finds you in better light. Life is a struggle for many. Sad thing is it doesn’t have to be this hard if we would just learn to help each other… Good luck.

Cheers Stephen!

Never seen snow? Wow!

@@jcbanbury Come to Darwin, Northern Territory Australia. It's a lesson if nothing else.

Or USB rechargeable hand warmers are even better.

😹

No way would this work anyway. The first inconvenience you experience will send you inside to your comforts. 😊

I live in NC your right.
