New Car...New Experience
Now have a four door car. But what is newer isn’t always better. Does worse on gas... luckily gas is cheap right now. Not going to abandon this project, however the new focus will be on living in poverty (for a while). Expect DIY stuff or access to resources or how and where to find free ish... STAY TUNED!
Missing That Life (Somewhat)...
Missing car camping right now due to current circumstances. Would have to have Wi-fi. Working on getting a more spacious vehicle.. but not quite a van or whatever, but that would be interesting- land is up my alley, but in the right place. Trying to obtain SKILLS-BASED JOBS. A friend was telling me to look into UX design. We’ll see how this develops...
Under 50 Degree But Above 25 Degree Car Campin’ Tips/Experience
When you are car camping in the cold in the back of a 2-door car- in this case a 2-door late 90′s Honda Accord- plenty of blankets and a thermarest worked decently. Cardboard could do the trick if one doesn’t have a thermarest ( don’t have the money, forgot to bring one,etc.) SOCKS ARE A GODSEND!!!!!!!! Best place to pick up socks are Dollar Tree (for lower quality.. but socks are socks!), Walmart, or some Goodwills will have them for $.50 a pair. Bundling your feet in blankets just doesn’t do what socks can do for one’s feet!!!
Kept thinking about buying a Mr. Heater but figured it would get uncomfortably warm so opted for hand warmers at times.
<!-- NOTE TO SELF OUT LOUD: Wonder how to make one’s own hand warmers? Is Mugwort a part of the secret? What kind of thing would safely enclose whatever the “main ingredient” is?) -->
What I Did and Would Do Differently...
If I could do it differently I wouldn’t try to buy and sell shoes like I did. While I love shoes, it takes up too much space then you start feeling like a hoarder and start hugging the anxiety of near mental breakdown. Would stick to essentials. Maybe bring a laptop. Pop to the thrift shop for a pan & find a good spot. When in Little Rock, met a singer hanging outside of an organic food store and he told me about resources like The Van that can help with food, shelter, and sometimes could wash your clothes, etc. Most of them were church-affiliated if I remember correctly. Things like washing clothes were a time-drag and I never found a really good solution, but all I tried was using the blow-dryer at Mcdonald’s while charging laptop and couldn’t even do it all the way for socks because of the embarrassment of people walking in. A membership to Planet Fitness comes in handy for showers. If someone knows a solution to the clothes thing feel free to comment or message, as it may come in handy if I decide to embark on these adventures again.
Aldi’s, Save-A-Lot, and Lowe’s are probably good places for food.. I’m sure other states have other types of stores in this price range. Tried putting hot dogs in a regular cooler... but forgot about them, so... it was a waste. Would recommend a GOOD cooler where the ice melts at a lower rate.
Tent- I didn’t use one, but one was available. You could, if and/or when a stable place with space is available apply thin layer of silicone to outside to make it rain-proof if it is not from the get-go and add permethrin to make it more bug-resistant. Make sure to check out the wildlife in your area to minimize surprises.
Laptop and phone and mobile charger and car charger- godsends. If one device dies...then you have a backup plan. At least have a phone. For phone service- best coverage hands down goes to Verizon... T-Mobile seems to be good in the city parts. But I’ve went as far as New Mexico- me having T-Mobile and the other traveler having Verizon and this person- 9/10 times on the interstate at least, had reception. There was a part of Kansas not too far from Colorado where there was a dead-zone if I recall- it was a eerie time and a eerie place in this time and age.
Camping in a Two-Door Car
Started this blog because I realized that most people do not camp in 2-door sedans. But I did! Was NOT the most comfortable experience but got to see Arkansas and parts of North Carolina without having to pay for a hotel.
