>>1044335There are people who live through winter conditions in a van. I don't choose to - but I do have a furnace in the van, and I could weather it if I had to. Instead if it gets chilly I often use my little grill set on low with the lid closed and treat it as a convection heater to take the chill off. It takes very little gas to affect the temperature in this way. The downside to this method is that, besides carbon monoxide, burning propane puts off moisture, which results in condensation. The furnace is vented and so its only downside is higher resource use.

>>1044356I know someone who traveled cross-country this summer in a fuckin' Eclipse. It's possible, I just don't know why anyone would choose to, when even a $1,500 cargo van would do you better.
But yeah I'll be headed in that direction between now and January. Anyone apart from that guy trying to bugger me can keep in touch with my kik: o.reyn51
>>1044359There are exactly two things I've felt some resistance adapting to in this lifestyle. Neither of them are shitting in the woods, sleeping strange places, or being presumed a serial killer. They are:
1) I like to cook. Cooking is still easy, cleaning up is hard. (It's not sensible to run the sink a lot and waste water.)
2) I can no longer buy stuff online constantly.
To that second point, that's not to say I can't buy stuff online at all. You can receive mail at a post office just using general delivery under your name. But I've never tried to just send an
Amazon.com order or something to general delivery. On paper I keep a relative's house as my physical address for legal reasons, ID, etc, and also have my mail sent there. If I need something sent to me it can be forwarded general delivery to a post office wherever I am. I just have to rely more on brick-and-mortar resources than my previous consumer impulses had become accustomed.
