i lived in a car in 2006 for 2 years. ended up loving it! Winters were very hard for me until I worked out to use two large hot water bottles to keep me warm. Had my own power bank under the seat to charge my phone and laptop. Used thick black out covers over the windows. Made every inch of my car count for something! It become a real home and the car never let me down. I never felt homeless as I was always dry and safe! Many days/nights I spent playing videos games on my PSP in my bed in the back of the car while listening to the rain! Made my bed as comfy as I could! This is a great way to live!
Thanks for sharing! I absolutely love the lifestyle. Many don’t, i find it adventurous and it always makes my wheels turn trying to find the next place to park or ways to cook in it. I love it too! Its a simple way of living
PSP is an amazing system. so much entertainment (games and movies) but the nintendo switch is better as it has wifi and a better screen (with the pro coming this xmas). i would just get my entertainment off a phone. super minimalist. do everything on the phone itself
@@Guerrini2954 hey, thanks for the comment. So I had a £25 gym membership which was open 24 hours a day so I mainly charged my powerbanks up, had a shower and mainly went to the bathroom in the gym BUT.... I did make slim line loo that I managed to use in the car for the times I couldn't get to a public loo. I used to store it under the car seat and it was fully sealed. I used to always have a small amount of loo cleaning in it so it never smelled. I had systems for every single thing I needed and to be honest I was only caught out a few times (mainly keeping warm in the winter which I managed fine in the end)

HANG IN THERE YOUNG LADY, YOU DOING GREAT AND THANK YOU FOR THE VIDEO
this is so neat! I’ve been inside my mini cooper 2016 for fun. Unlike most people, I actually do it for fun even though I have other living options. It’s just so neat! I travel and work on my arts and crafts, I love it. Thanks for showing us your good vibes.
Thanks for showing your set up and not every little thing in all of your "personal" bags. We all use basically the same type of things, toothpaste, deo, etc give or take.
You’re welcome 😉 some people want to know and see every little thing so id rather make separate videos and not bored other people, thanks for your comment! Have great holidays😊
Wow! Looks like you brought the whole house in your camping car. Good job!💯👍👏👏👏 I love them bags that match with the seat covers.😍 Pretty smart idea to use jugs of 1 gallon water. Space saving and convinient.
I wish I would have done this when I was young... and saved all the money I blew on stupid crap. I just read that you can use your rice cooker to make pasta- a Google search will show you faster than I can type it all. Looks like a well thought-out set up!👍
MaMaVinnova Ive had my fair share of that, but we learn from our mistakes and move foward. I’ve seen posts about that, I’m planning on filming some “rice cooker meal” videos in the near future that’d be fun. Thank you 🙏 😊
Ramblings of Sheri. Age is just a number. I’m 61 next month and am just starting out car camping. Where there’s a will there’s a way for sure. Life is to be enjoyed. Even more so in the current climate. Go for it. 👍💛👍
Cora this is such a great easy set up. Looks so organized and simple. Clutter free.. I thought I would need more stuff but nope you show it can be done with way less. Thanks for sharing.
That’s truly a minimalist.... just be careful when using the propane stove on what looks like velvet material ( the underneath of the stove can get very hot).
You actually have the best setup if you're a clutter free manic like myself. Love the simplicity and organization with the bag idea plus you car still looks like a normal everyday car without all the clutter. Great sharing. Thanks✌
Very nice decorative bags for clothing, etc ! Real nice and concise! If you feel comfortable with talking more on the clothing aspect and cleaning, etc... appreciate it. Very nice setup!! 😊
Where did you buy those bags? Nice. I'm a new sub. I have a saturn 2007 you provided some great ideas for my vehicle. I hate clutter and your setup is perfect for me.
Nice setup! I have a similar car and am about to try car living too. My setup will be the same, except I'll probably get a portable battery to run a small electric cooktop.... I don't want fire in my car! 😅
I like that you cook "inside" the care. I really don't want to use the emergency little propane single burner thing that I have, so I would buy a power source to use something like a single electric burner I have...I've traveled cross country in my 2009 VW Sportwagen, using motels and my rolling carry-on kitchen inside...however, after looking a minivans, I have been thinking of using the car as a "microvan." I do have a special diet so I need to carry some bulky noodles that I order online and a lot of amino acids. So, storage will be paramount. Love seeing your ideas...
Just found you on Dia frugal living TH-cam channel. I'm 68 with a little dog. I'm slowly converting my 2004 SUV and I hope to go full-time by this summer. It's scary but I'm retired and living on my very small SSI has become so difficult. I'm looking forward to being a nomad. I'm enjoying your videos and your setup. God bless your journey. I liked and subscribed.
Thank you! That would be great for days like now where its hard to find a plug 🔌 since i cant go in restaurants anymore as much. Thank you for your recommendation I appreciate it
Lovin' ur style. I do the same minimulism yet it's in a mini van. Keeping it as simple as can be, yet with everything to easily get by. You are awesome, and you are also very pretty with a soothing voice🌺🎶🧕
This is awesome! Love how simple you keep it. Just subbed. Can I ask what tint darkness you have on your windows? I’m wanting to have mine done and yours looks just about right 🤗
I have always said a person only needs 3 bags to live in a car eg a bag of clothes Bag for food And bag for everything else Thos video shows perfectly .ust that when you showed the 3 bags in passenger seat etc A cooking stove is optional depending on whether a person is a fan of cooking etc or fast food because eating fast food is multi purpose Eg eating hot food without the expense of cooking the food eg gas etc plus there are washrooms and toilets which is always convenient plus a car parking spot for half an hour or so plus free wifi and apower source to charge phone or i pad etc living in a car is so easy and simple to do i really enjoyed my time living in a car
Living simple is better in my book 👍🏼 if i had all the money in the world id definitely eat out vs cook. Great scenarios, when i use the fast food restaurants to my advantage the bathrooms, wifi, electricity, with covid its harder to find places like that i usually find a good park that has a plug 🔌 😃thanks for sharing!
But eating out three times a day can get expensive unless you are ordering from the dollar menu and even that can be expensive In the long run a Jackery and a small 1 burner stove can go a long way. And if you really need WiFi. Just park in McDonald’s parking lot.

PSP is an amazing system. so much entertainment (games and movies) but the nintendo switch is better as it has wifi and a better screen (with the pro coming this xmas). i would just get my entertainment off a phone. super minimalist. do everything on the phone itself
Damn that thing with the rain made me jealous! But how did you shower or "go to the bathroom" ??

She got right to the point. "Simple is better" is right. Concise. Respect.

I admire how neat and organized your things are.

@@Coratruelove awesome, excited to see the art! Sending you good vibes from SoCal 🤟🏼
She made a tiny car look so spacious!Imagine if she had a van lol
she dont need a van 😎
Very well thought out with cheap, workable solutions. :-). Thanks for posting.

You’re welcome 😉 some people want to know and see every little thing so id rather make separate videos and not bored other people, thanks for your comment! Have great holidays😊
Nice set up. Nice bags . Clean and organized.
Love your set up....so clean and bright! Love the print of the bags you use! So pretty!
Thank you i love them!
@@Coratruelove I like them very much too, although a black bag might have been more stealth.
Extremely organized! I love it 👍🏾 Works perfectly for car living
Great car set up!! You definitely motivated me wanting to chose this lifestyle. Thanks
No, thank you! You should try it!
@@Coratruelove I will definitely.
Great job of neat efficient use of a small vehicle!
Jon Offensend thank you!
I love this! So simple and clean (: very nice, instant sub!
Dominoe Harlee thanks for the sub! It was such a great set up but i ended up having to trade the hyundai in
I love it, it's really colorful and well organized and thought out.
Wow, bigger than you'd think inside. Nice set up. Stay safe.
Wow! Looks like you brought the whole house in your camping car. Good job!💯👍👏👏👏 I love them bags that match with the seat covers.😍 Pretty smart idea to use jugs of 1 gallon water. Space saving and convinient.
It was practically the whole house, 480 sq ft you cant have too much in it😂 thank you! I love everything colorfull 🌈 😎
I love your minimalistic setup. I love those bags, too 😍Have a great day 🍀
Love your minimalist car living set up! 💯 👍
My car is very small (Nissan Kick). After watching your setup, I feel like I can make it work too.
Love this so much. So simplistic yet functional. Well done. Enjoy!!!
Thank you!
This is awesome!!! Thank you for making this video. I've been obsessing about how to set up my SUV.
Love those bags. So cute! You've given me some great ideas for outfitting my Nissan Versa.
Essie Oh thanks, goood im glad to have inspired you!
Wow, really nice set up. I particularly like how simple it is and the soft sided bags.
I wish I would have done this when I was young... and saved all the money I blew on stupid crap.
I just read that you can use your rice cooker to make pasta- a Google search will show you faster than I can type it all.

You can still do it! ✌️🏜️
You can do it now. I recommend a mini van with 'sto n go' seats, or a mini van and just get rid of the seats!
You can do it!!!🎶🌺
Great little set up , I also love the bags you have . Gosh your gonna have so much fun , wish I was your age again
Ramblings of Sheri thank you, im already having a bunch of fun just filming haha
Ramblings of Sheri. Age is just a number. I’m 61 next month and am just starting out car camping. Where there’s a will there’s a way for sure. Life is to be enjoyed. Even more so in the current climate. Go for it. 👍💛👍
Wow, incredible and SO much more what I'd like rather than all the elaborate set ups. Thank you so much for showing that this can be done simply!
Well done. Love your pots and pans set up and cute bags. Wow. Everything has a place. Good job!
Thank you!
That's amazing. That car is great on gas too. Your set up is simple but exactly all you need. Good for you, that's amazing!
Wow.So organized,great job😀I can't organize at all.I'm glad I found this channel.
Thank you! I’ve got to make more videos about my different bags and ideas for staying clean in the car
@@Coratruelove I have a trailblazer and it's horrible I mean,I can't organize! I watched your video of the accident.Thank God you're ok❤😀
Great setup! Less IS more!
A real minimalist. "Less is more".
amazingly organized and an informative tour with no frills! love it!
Perfect.... thanks for sharing. My favorite thing... and idea.... is your "undercover bag/ purse" Genius : )
Thank you for the tour🥰
Cora this is such a great easy set up. Looks so organized and simple. Clutter free.. I thought I would need more stuff but nope you show it can be done with way less. Thanks for sharing.
Your minimalism is 'mega inspiring'.
That’s truly a minimalist.... just be careful when using the propane stove on what looks like velvet material ( the underneath of the stove can get very hot).
thank you Cora for taking the time to share. Have a great day!
You actually have the best setup if you're a clutter free manic like myself. Love the simplicity and organization with the bag idea plus you car still looks like a normal everyday car without all the clutter.
Great sharing.
Thanks✌
I try to keep it as simple as possible and still be able to have passengers, thanks for sharing your perspective! Have a great day 😁✨
Impressive how minimalist and concise you have it all set up!! Nice job!!😊
Thank you!! 😊
Thank you! I so respect minimalism.
You have the rice cooker within the car, good job.
Like your Setup Style...(Awesome)..maybe i Do the same setup for my Car...
Thank you! That would be so cool!
Would love to see a video on how you use a rice cooker to cook meals. Didn’t know it can do more than just cooking rice. Smart girl!
Thank you! Definitely in the near future i will, i need some ideas...
Had a rice cooker in jail u can do so much in there
Very nice set up, Cora. Good luck and fun travels.
Thank you! Have blessed Holidays.
Very nice decorative bags for clothing, etc ! Real nice and concise! If you feel comfortable with talking more on the clothing aspect and cleaning, etc... appreciate it. Very nice setup!! 😊
Thank you! I will make a video on that for sure!
Nice minimalist set up! 👍 A rice cooker is a smart idea to have on the road.
Dia’s Frugal Life why have a rice cooker when you can buy me mcdonalds
😂😂😂 She got a point there! Maybe it's time to collect those 2 for 1 coupon for fast food joints.😉
Minimalist Cora 😂 🤣 😂🤣 OMG you need to me mcds now! It’s your turn to spoil your mom hahaha 😂
MoBang FoYoBucks 😂 🤪🤣 she needs to download the McDonald’s app and look for good deals .
Dia’s Frugal Life i did i mowed for you 😂
Would love to see what is in the bags and how many outfits you packed, also what food items you brought
I’ll definitely make a video on what are in my bags! I have a couple on my channel about my food and prepper bag! Thanks for your feedback!
That's funny, I hate it when ppl open drawers and show obvious stuff, lol
Love how neat this is!
You keep it simple and very organized! It’s helps to keep it spacious in a small car. Good luck. Stay safe🙏
Where did you buy those bags? Nice. I'm a new sub. I have a saturn 2007 you provided some great ideas for my vehicle. I hate clutter and your setup is perfect for me.
Nice setup! I have a similar car and am about to try car living too. My setup will be the same, except I'll probably get a portable battery to run a small electric cooktop.... I don't want fire in my car! 😅
Mongoose sweeet! I just cant afford a portable battery or else I wouldve definitely recorded some videos using that.
This sounds like a fun set-up.
Love this a lot, props! This is what it’s all about. Also the 2:42 “chaaaaow”
Thank you 😂

If you ever get the chance get a pod for the roof it's lockable so you can put odds and ends up their
Ill take that in consideration thank you!
Nice. I have a Chevy Sonic, so I'm trying to figure out how to do it without taking any seats out. My back seats lie down, so I think I can do it.
Let me know how it goes!
Absolutely gorgeous ❤
OM Allah..
It's amazing..
I just love it.
Thank you thank you :D
I thought I was organized. This is very nice 😊
Simple and we'll thought out!✌️
Big thanks!
Thank u thank u thank u...for the Rice cooker idea.👍
nice setup what bags did you use ??they are a nice large size we need that to thanks
nice, this set up will work for any vehicle! :)
Oh yeah, got to love those hatchbacks! Thanks!
Reminds me of part of my Girl Scout camping set up or whatever it's called. Only things missing from her's are the utensils and cup
For the cooking set up*
super minimalist. soo cool..

Thank you! Yes its definitely something to get used to, but you’ll find your routine in time! I absolutely love this life style and hope you will too!
But if you don’t have an address, do you have problems getting things done, like your social security check?
Very realistic and very minimalistic‼️
Well Done. Blessings and Health to You. 🙏❤
Much love to you❤️
Very nice setup and use of space. Would recommend a Jackery or similar portable power source if your resources allow.
Thank you! That would be great for days like now where its hard to find a plug 🔌 since i cant go in restaurants anymore as much. Thank you for your recommendation I appreciate it
Lovin' ur style. I do the same minimulism yet it's in a mini van. Keeping it as simple as can be, yet with everything to easily get by.
You are awesome, and you are also very pretty with a soothing voice🌺🎶🧕
Thank you! I’m wanting to join the van life one of these days😁
This is awesome! Good job!

Great job! Where did you find that cool metal plate and locking pan/bowel please?
Excellent 😊
Organized and cute!
Ive got to be organized if im going to be in that small space haha, thank you!
I have the same covers and a red car....and ideas 💡 🤔 💘 😻 💜 💛 💚 🧡
Love the bags
Thank you!
Saw online that one burner Coleman stove is terrible doesn't get food hot or use all gas in tiny gas canister.
Works great for us! 👍
When her car better lookin then ur house
Girl you got my respect, so what the he'll I subscribed
This is awesome! Love how simple you keep it. Just subbed. Can I ask what tint darkness you have on your windows? I’m wanting to have mine done and yours looks just about right 🤗
Thanks for subscribing!! Im not too sure exactly the percent of tint it had, but it looked like maybe at 50% I usually go for 5-25% on my old cars.
Thank you for sharing ! New subscriber🙂
Thanks for subscribing!
very good @ minimalism ....... 🙋♀️
I try! Thanks!
Love the set up, but man, I want to fall asleep listening to her..
Post some videos ill give you a like😇
Nice 💗🤗🤗💗
I have always said a person only needs 3 bags to live in a car eg a
bag of clothes
Bag for food
And bag for everything else
Thos video shows perfectly .ust that when you showed the 3 bags in passenger seat etc
A cooking stove is optional depending on whether a person is a fan of cooking etc or fast food because eating fast food is multi purpose
Eg eating hot food without the expense of cooking the food eg gas etc plus there are washrooms and toilets which is always convenient plus a car parking spot for half an hour or so plus free wifi and apower source to charge phone or i pad etc
living in a car is so easy and simple to do i really enjoyed my time living in a car
Living simple is better in my book 👍🏼 if i had all the money in the world id definitely eat out vs cook. Great scenarios, when i use the fast food restaurants to my advantage the bathrooms, wifi, electricity, with covid its harder to find places like that i usually find a good park that has a plug 🔌 😃thanks for sharing!
But eating out three times a day can get expensive unless you are ordering from the dollar menu and even that can be expensive In the long run a Jackery and a small 1 burner stove can go a long way. And if you really need WiFi. Just park in McDonald’s parking lot.
Just came across this video. Are you full time living in your car? A great 👍 video. My name is Cora too.❤️
No just part time😄 Thanks! Nice to meet you!👍🏼
Living in my 2012 Toyota hatchback Yaris
