Marmalade, I'll look for you at REI, what an awesome place to work! (and so close to Road Runner too!). You always have the best B-roll, and transitions, a pleasure to watch! Have you used Black Magic's Davinci Resolve for video editing?

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! This vlog was amazing!!! I am preparing to quit the renters life. I am 65 yrs old. I have reservations as you can imagine. I work full time 8 months of the year and I am off for 4 months. I want to save money to travel and reduce debt. My rent is becoming unsustainable with inflation. I found your channel on TH-cam and it is by far the most honest and informational out of hundreds that I have watched. I am curious as to how your internet situation is especially when in your vehicle. You are most candid and I personally appreciate that. No BS! You are an amazing person!

The government is actively trying to figure out how to take that car/home from you

I’m considering weekend and week long trips in my vehicle. I have the same exact Bronco sport. I’m concerned about taking these trips because my vehicle vibrates constantly. I’ve had it in the shop like 8 times since June but they keep telling me it’s normal. I’m curious if you were having the same issues and if that’s why it’s been in the shop? Ford manufacturer denied me for the buy back program because the dealership says it’s normal.

❤❤❤ Thank you for taking us along on your hike. It is freezing here, but at least I can do the indoor track at the community center...Thank you again for taking us along.

Yea. Lost my stick pick on a hike about a year ago. At one point I found another company making them, and for the life of me I can’t find it again.

I love the music. I have been in and out on this trail. Never completed the entire thing. Love love that area. Nice memories for me. Excellent job

Excellent! Did not know about this trail.

Buy a sm cooling unit. Uses water. Put in a few ice cubes and it blows Cold. 1' × 1'. the charge lasts 8 hrs. Cost is $80 to $100. Use anything to semi prop it on the seat, backseat is great. Mine lasted 2 yrs so far.

Gorgeous hike! Your silent hiking videos are some of my faves. Such good vibes that make me want to get outside. Always well done!🌻💛

I'm impressed with people who can do this lifestyle out of a car. Great video insight into a typical day for Marmalade. I'd love to see you in a van though. I'm a bit biased there...😁

How do you manage ventilation, especially on cold winter nights.Would be bad to steam up the car and have condensation, etc.

Happy 🌷✝🌷Holidays... thank you!

Elfin Forest is gorgeous. A hidden gem, not a lot of people seem to know about this one, great job capturing the beauty of this trail.

Seasons Greetings Marmalade...Impressive live/work Life You Are.

Did you ever go on the hike from Mt. Laguna to Scissors Crossing? And what is the status with your car?

Nice trail! Thanks for the video.

Great video! I've been contemplating the car life because I'm tired of rent prices. But my issue is I have two cats and I can't figure out how I could make it work considering I'm in Vegas. The heat here is a problem.

My first time watching your channel and I subscibed. This was very helpful for me, because I have temporarily started living in my car, not sure if I want to or will continue to. The saving money and/or paying off debt is very appealing, so I' m trying to decide if I want to do it for those reasons. Like you said in this video, at first it is scary and a hard change! I wish I had been able to practice or do a trial run. Everything in this video is so true! Thank you for making these videos; I like your content and I am looking forward to watching more of your videos. Very helpful. I don't know if you are a praying man or believe in God, but if you are, pray for Him to send the right woman into your life or to send you a wife. He does answer prayers, even the prayers that we think are insignificant or unimportant.

Great hike. Water was blue!!!

Nice views!

Great scenery. 😊

Thanks for sharing!

I’m 65 and really want to this but my biggest fear is my SS and banking. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you

Contemplating starting this journey in a 01 PT cruiser. Sucky car, but I got one of the best models. I’m 18, and I’d had kind of a hard life. It’s sad to say that where I’m at right now, I’d rather live in my car. I live with my family but I still pay rent. It’s only $850 a month but I can’t afford it with them also wanting me to pay for my own food, toilet paper, laundry stuff, cleaners, etc. plus insurance and other bills that aren’t to do with them. I can’t do it. I don’t have anyone I can go to. I moved here for a reason. I can’t save a dime right now, and even have to take out of my checks early to get by. It’s cheaper to just do this whole process

Mike, enjoy the stories. Please keep us updated on the Lemon Law case re your Ford Bronco sport. I used the Lemon Law to force Ford to buy back my Mustang GT - a real POS. Bought a Toyota Highlander and never looked back. The Toyota was more expensive but as the old saying goes . . . you get what you pay for. Good luck. Planning on hiking part of the AT with the Hiking Rev this summer? An option. Keep on truckin. Regards.

What about if you’re traveling with children, where would they be able to bathe & such ?

How does a person live like this off grid on SS?

If only Honda would revive the Element, they would sell like crazy. Those cars were the most versatile.

Thanks for showing a day in the life. I didn’t realize that you grocery shop daily. Avocados rock. I use the Flashfood app here in the Midwest. In my area, Meijer is part of it. As an example, I purchased a salad kit that was $3.99 for $0.99 because the best by date was in 2 days. It still tasted fresh. Delicious and it meant I could use the saved $3 on something else. It all adds up. Have you decided on which hybrid makes sense in the future. Just curious. I once owned a Prius until someone totaled it by rear ending it. Peace.

Thanks for sharing a part of your daily routine. Super interesting and I'm in awe of your adaptability! Merry Christmas to you Mike. 🎄☮️

Could you do another dash ride along?

Mike how many times have you got that dreaded knock on your window from the police

Thanks for the simple tips!

I live a very similar car life in a Mazda CX-5. I'm 56 and work doordash, uberests and Walmart spark. I also keep a small 5x5 storage and joined planet fitness. I usually sleep at Walmart or my provider hospital. I make just enough to survive so I get food stamps and free medi-cal. Gas is my biggest expense at around $300/mo. + storage $40, gym $20, cell svc $40, misc $100 = $600/ mo. total avg.

Orange County?

loved the vid, keep em coming

Great job. Loved watching it and planning on getting out there in 2025.

I really enjoyed this video, thank you so much for sharing your daily routine! It's not often I get to see a video on how a nomad is making it work living in the city. I have found it to be very challenging on some levels but have figured it out along the way. I was really surprised how similar our days are, almost identical! 🤣

Excellent … thanks for sharing!

Awesome movie Michael. I got to relive my hike on the high sierra trail. Enjoyed meeting you on trail. I am thinking about doing the JMT THIS COMING SUMMER.

You have a decadaded schedule. I think it shows true purpose for your future. Determination will take you to your goals. I think some days are great and some not so great. Just follow your plan. Cheering you on. Review those goals periodically. Realize the difference between determination and ornery stubbornness. Faith and grace are also helpful perspectives. Whoa, it sounds like a motivational spell. Friendly wishing you.😊

As a part-time live in my rig in the woods kind of person, your video was surprisingly interesting and just normal lifey 🙂. Super dialed in.

You make it look easy and stress free but I'm positive it is not. Good day and good health to you!

A fellow morning bird....kickass! Hope your car issues get resolved! Timmy C Arizona

How many miles a day do you drive?

New car or a different loaner?

I pay $90 every 6mo

Yes, expensive. If you can have a physical address and just let them know you do not want anything sent there. You wanted to go to your PO. Box, they will do that. Anyone will do that. Your bank will do that. The car registration will do that. All you gotta do is tell them your physical address and then tell them you want it all sent to your peel box because you don't go to your address. All the time or whatever you want to tell them, but they will send it to your p.O box
