The first 150 days of van life

[Mr. SmithParticipant 686]

Gentlemen,

this guy started to live in a van and scaled down his life. He is not a MGTOW, but neither he mentioning a spouse. Here is his report for the first 150 days. Sounds promising.

The first 150 days of van life

"I need men, real men, men with balls, certainly not sissies. I would never ask them to take an enemy position, but I insist that they follow me to that position. If you are one of those men, raise your hand." Napoleon Bonaparte

I really like the simplicity and serenity.

I’ve thought about doing this once I earn enough money to retire.

Fuck bitches... literally and metaphorically

Love is just alimony waiting to happen. Visit mgtow.com.

How is he not a man going his own way?

It’s a Class C motorhome, not a van, and I promise you that living on the road is not as idyllic as this blogger makes it seem.

I’ve been living “on the road” for six months now and it definitely has it’s challenges. Maybe the laws are different in Germany but here you can’t just park next to a lake whenever you feel like it or sleep on the side of the road… and even when you do find a good place to boondock, you stlil have to be mindful of power and water consumption. Then you have to find a place to dump your sewage and refill your water… which means you’re probably spending just as much or more time in RV parks as you are in the wilds.

Of course, pictures of RV parks and discussions about where to dump your blackwater don’t make for exciting blog posts so this guy probably won’t be talking about that much.

I’m not trying to discourage anyone who can from taking up the mobile life, just pointing out that it’s not all farmers markets, grassy lakeshores and sunsets so you know not to believe the hype.

Just so you know not to believe the hype.

Thanks for the perspective.

I have also thought about trying the whole van thing and am always intrigued when i read about it. These are issues which i never see discussed.

living in a class c?
van living level : noob

my home for almost a year, September 2009 to August 2010, in Northern Illinois. F~~~ it was cold at night.

Great find, this guy is inspirational.

I lived in a travel trailer after divorce.

I don’t recommend it either.

Buying a piece of land in the right spot is my preference. Build to suit.

Done both. Van is too undefended. Vulnerable.

Peace brothers

My first thoughts also.
Sounds like a great temporary vacation. Full time? Pass.

Likewise living on a boat.

I just spent the last 4 years being off and on homeless. Mainly living in my truck. Stayed at a few hotels and random spots here and their. Finally got a travel trailer now. It might of been easier if you I could have prepared for it. But than again you usually don’t expect to be homeless all of a sudden. S~~~ is still rough now but it’s better than living in my pick up truck so it’s a step up for Sure. Life is a bitch.

Please God smite the wicked now

Small RV. Lot to be said for having a simple happy life.
