Learning minimalism to travel full-time and sleep in my car was anything but Easy. Today, that experiment has turned into living rent-free by sleeping in a Prius and going anywhere I wish since March 3rd, 2017. In that time I’ve met enough people to learn how rampant these ideas have become. We’re yearning to escape the familiar, live simply, downsize, and dispose of reservations that never served our truest selves. Prius camping has unlocked the "world," allowing me to travel full-time for very cheap, and I'm not done yet. Have you tried camping in your car? Think you could make this lifestyle work full time?

Now that’s what I call bundling home *and* auto insurance...
Good point!
Clever! Lol
That's certainly one way to do it. Someone needs to tell Flo from the Progressive commercials about this. Lulz
This would be the perfect commercial for Geico or Nationwide
This should be the most liked comment lol
Jake from State Farm would be proud
That’s the first time I can actually say “cool Prius” without being sarcastic.
Objective coolness. Would be cooler with off-road tires and a lift kit.
@@LiveEasy please dont do that
priuses are already disgusting as is
Why are Priuses disgusting?
@@LiveEasy they defeat their whole purpose,
their purpose is to be economically friendly yes?
but as soon as the electric engine dies and the backup engine kicks in, theyll put off more pollution than a v8
and they still have the decency to sell em for $10-15k
they arent actually an electric car, theyre technically a hybrid
Thanks for responding.
Economically friendly? Yeah, it cut my gas/travel costs in half. Since owning it I’ve saved around $6000.
Of course it’s a hybrid and not a full electric vehicle. They’ve been around since the 90s. Who is claiming differently?
What you said about them polluting as much as a V8 is simply wrong. Do you really believe that? Are you attempting to reference the immediately debunked, yet highly viral, article about a Prius being worse for the planet than a Hummer? It was so obviously flawed in their data that the publication retracted it.
Currently living my car because it soul calling and learning so much about myself about the earth we live in. My relationship has never been stronger than ever , and I’m grateful to have this postive mind set I am in , sometimes it can get little stressful or doubtful of times because people have a their own opinion on how they look at living situation but honestly it’s blessing in disguise. I’m alive , I’m healthy and I have everything that I need and much more.
Heck yeah! Perspective is everything. 🙂
lets hope your car wont brake down.
Daily Healing I’m hoping to do the same soon !

You son of a bitch. I’m in. 👈🏻👈🏻
😂
WEll, there was one guy that built a sleeping buggy that he could pull with his bicycle. There's a TH-cam video of the design (not exactly the most secure, but an interesting idea -- I think the guy was an ex-airplaine engineer if I remember correctly as it closely resembled a plane fuselage.
Imagine the treat girls are in for when he says “wanna come back to my place?”
😉😉😉
I think he would just get a hotel with all that money he saves
Well atleast they dont have to drive far
Helps him weed out who is about material possession and who isn't , that's what will happen when he shows her where he lives. He is a successful TH-camr, saves money on rent and seems to have his sh*t together, that's more than a lot of us can say anyway. Congrats to him.
Shwing - or guys lol if he is gay .
A Prius with a solar panel on the roof, perforated vinyl windows, ski box, and metal box on hitch. *Inconspicuous*
Most people would never consider someone can/would sleep in the back of a Prius and most folks aren’t tall enough to really notice it’s a solar panel. People that have often think it’s to help power the vehicle. 😂
Lol!
K, m8
It's less conspicuous as a living arrangement than a white van with blackout curtains.
If it so, then most US people are dumb as fuck :-D
You've changed my life!!! I am now living in my toyota camry and i couldn't be happier and grateful . My mom says im a failure but i am who i am and imma be a hippie forever man !!!
Seriously?
I could read this as serious or as a joke. 🙂
Ryan Clary same here dude 👌🏼
We are not failures, she’s a failure for saying that
Hmmmm.... Maybe SHEEES the failure. After all, i dont think squirrels raised you.....
A friend of mine lived in a Hearse for a time to save money. No one ever tried to break in and he slept in the coffin.
For real though?
That's actually so smart lmfao because what kind of fucking weirdo breaks into a hearse? 😭
Holy cow. Like to see that on YT.
Thanks for this comment
@@shhhh6174 😂😂😂
I’m a high school student and I’ve been living an old 99 Toyota corolla with my dad for almost 8 months and I’ve had to deal with the “Boy Scout” of the neighborhood and very paranoid people many many times and seeing someone know how it feels makes me feel better and this video is Very relatable especially with the want to keep things safe and just not be bothered by nosey people who are quick to judge and call the police. The hardest part of this is going to school cause I get tons of looks when people see the blankets but at the end of the day I am so thankful to have been going through this and summers are the best cause you can travel and really enjoy it as much as you can. Awesome vid
You AND your dad in a Corolla?
I feel for you on the going to school front.
That's sad. Your parents are lazy. Leave them man. There is help and better places to go. Fuck that
Devin Gebeke If they are lazy so is he, you can get a job at 16 and help with the bills, I did it. Plus you don’t know maybe they want to save up and the might even still have a job.
Klaiel Lordez I have a job and I have worked with him for years and almost all my money has gone to him give or take some money for food here and there but no I have been working for him for years in order to save and he just spends it on other things so I don’t appreciate you assuming I’m lazy without knowing the whole story. Very rude
Colton Wilkie Did you actually read what I said, they were assuming not me, I guess the problem was is that I added the lazy part with all of you instead of just your parents and that’s why you got mad. I was basically trying to make a point but it was not a definite point, that is why I told them you all probably save and have jobs and that is why you may live that way. I am not rude, I was defending your situation but I get it now your just a typical selfish person and you don’t mind people trash talking your parents as long as it’s not you, well some people are a reflection of their parents.
People live day to day complaining about not having enough money and not being able to afford things. And then there’s people like this. Living in a Prius and enjoying life
You get it.
He's not really. He's just acting, trying to make money off youtube, while being homeless.
@@DrFumesta How did you get to be so smart? Your head must be yuuuge!
DBZ Guru yeah but some people wanna be able to play videogames in the privacy of their own home
I've seen multiple videos of people living out of a Van, SUV or car but my main question always is... what the hell do these people do for money?... I imagine their jobs are something that's online because i can't see someone always on the move and having a job that isn't online.
I guess it determines what job you have for this to be a viable option. I do really enjoy seeing these videos because it proves the "I can't afford this/ i need more money" people wrong in a way... It's all about budgeting and living out of a vehicle is budgeting at it's extreme imo. No electricity bills (unless you're driving a Prius), Gas bills literally boil down to your car and if you built yourself a kitchen then how often you buy a propane tank. Internet bills would be far lower as i imagine you would be using free wifi hot-spots and your mobile plan internet majority of the time
Here's how I live comfortably in the front pocket of my own shirt.
Hero!

i salute you ,,,you are a hero
Best contextual comment I've ever observed.

Either that or they just are Prius prejudice. 😜

This is your life...and it’s ending one minute at a time.
I love your random bursts of energy! 🤣🤣🤣 the end “get that camera out of my face” was hilarious
😁😁😁
I give this guy credit, not living within society criteria. He can basically drive away from storms. I hope he’s happy and maybe in time can buy a small hunting cabin. Less is more sometimes
Driving to the nice weather was a very nice perk. 😁

Funny
This is the most cleanest, organized car living I've seen its amazing.
Love to hear that. Though I definitely straightened up for this video. You should see it right now 😅
Live Easy I am impressed by your arrangements and use of spaces, but this is still a bit small. Why not get a used van of something so you can have more space. I saw a similar video on youtube but in a van and boi was i so impressed i made my own. I dont even live in it. But saves hotel money when i got for a trip so...
Fuel economy is why. 🤙🏻
kinda forced to live in a vehicle now. My first choice is a Prius. While I do have a home and my family lives with me. The biggest issue is I am 21 and all the work is two hours away in another town. (Small town america am I right?) So not only do I have to drive two hours to work two jobs and go to school. I also have to sleep in my vehicle so I dont swerve around and kill myself or someone else. My obvious choice is to get another vehicle to stay in. I have the money, the funds, the time, and a location. All I need is to convert the vehicle for part time living.
The prius seems the best choice because of fuel and its cooling/heating options.
Most people will say "GET A APARTMENT LOL" but why would I? It would just be a major drain on what money I have. I would barely use it with my busy schedule other then to sleep or eat a few meals. I don't want to be tied down with all those bills, I have a home I live in that my family uses. (inherited) why should I just drain away my money that could be used to fund for school?
Im playing it smart here as I can get.
Found it helpful for sure. I’ve been thinking about doing travel nursing, and would like to have the luxury of driving wherever i need to go with pretty much everything i need to live. Thanks for taking the time to show your set up.
If i wasnt married i would have done the same. Sleep in a prius, get a gym membership for showering and other things, and storage for misc stuff.
@niggaplease47 or just dont shower lmao.
No homeless guys allowed at my gym.
@niggaplease47 lol okay. U know u can get it membership before u leave it apartment right to keep the same address?
@@christiandruan not if u get ur membership before u leave ur apartment. U still going to do ur daily normal things like work and other things u pretty much just going to sleep in the car.
most Truck stops let u shower for free if you buy gas from them
1. Love the "living out of your car" lifestyle.
2. Love your organization and simplicity.
3. Love your personality. I was thinking the whole time this is someone I would hang out with!
Thanks Lee! 🙂

"no one is gonna pull me over for having perforated vinyl on my windows"
*enters NY*
Yeah I actually had put perforated vinyl on the my minivan windows before and removed it because it stood out too much. 5% tint in the back now.
i am so happy for you. my grandma owns a prius and this i’ve rode in it for several years, always noting how easy one could live in it. well, i’m living in my 2000 chevy cavalier with my boyfriend now, and i am missing the space and changeability of the prius so much. i’m going to take all the tips in this video and see what we can do with it. thank you for being the authentic you and sharing your knowledge with us.
Thanks Germy. Good luck to you!
park that in a bad part of the city and you'll find your "secure" storage and solar panels gone
2 points for Japan.
That's literally every security system. The point isn't to make it impenetrable. The point is to make it not worth the effort or just more difficult than another target.
Thank you Doctor. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
@@LiveEasy lol i was just trying to help you not get your shit stolen
It really doesnt have to be in a bad part of town for that to happen.
He looks exactly like prius owner😂
Chicken Soup Best compliment ever. 😉
Macroscope Pictures i can do better ! ❤️
Krstny Otec you had your chance.
This should be top comment.
He's hot. Deal with it
I believe in the future the car industry are going to build live in cars🚘, fold up beds with lots of storage space, cause rent prices are going to continue to sky rocket out of control.
I've wondered that, too. or those that can create conversions will be keeping busy!
I've been car camping in my 2018 Chevy Volt. It's been great and I can plug in at campgrounds for heating and cooling and electricity to drive with. Your ideas from living in the Prius are helpful.
Most people in America live paycheck to paycheck, little to no savings, getting in debt for the latest gadgets and stuff. Year after year, rinse and repeat. Life is over before you know it. You live freely, travel, and look happy and healthy. It takes courage and discipline to plan things like this and execute it especially.
Hats off to you. You will achieve anything you want. You are way ahead of the game. This overworked city guy salutes you! Stay safe, healthy and happy!
Andrew
Thanks a lot Andrew!
I’m going to the class b life to get ahead on retirement savings. I refuse to pay rent another year. It’s financial prison.
Heck yeah! I have been looking at class B myself.
I wonder where he gets his money from? Seeing as thougj jes got all pretty nice and brand new stuff. Odd jobs? Mommy and daddy? Trustfund? Saved every penny since he was 9? Im truly curious.
Brand new stuff? My car is now 11 years old. If you really would like to know how I could afford what I was doing, liveeasydrivehard.com/how-i-saved-budgeted-to-travel-not-work-for-a-year/
I've watched a few videos of people living in their cars and their disorganized nature was giving me so much anxiety (OCD). Thank you for this video. You've calmed my nerves lol. Your home is super organized, neat and well-thought of.
Agreed. There's so much to enjoy about his organization but my favorite part about this was the velcro carpet on top of the cooler. That was... exciting to me. So well thought out.
Thanks bud. I found this very helpful for some ideas that I am going to try and incorporate into my living in my car situation.
TY I do a ton of rideshare and delivery gigs and this just really helped with my travels. Thank you for making it and safe travels!!!!
Glad you found it helpful!
I'm getting ready for full-time travel life in my car and this has been hugely helpful - thank you so much!
Glad to be a useful resource! I have a number of other videos on related topics here, and I have even more at liveeasydrivehard.com. 😁
I started my journey 2 months and this was super helpful. This video was sent to me from one of my co workers! Thanks for sharing great tips !!!
VibrantPeace I want to see more Black people doing this! It’s smart and economical
Thanks for the kind words VibrantPeace. I wish you the best of luck in your journey.
Extremely well done. I’ve been watching many similar builds, each has good ideas. Your pursuit of freedom is encouraging.
Thanks Andrew! There are so many great ideas out there for minimalist car life.
You Are AWESOME!!! I've been living in my Toyota Ipsum since March '19 - and love it! You've inspired me to rip a bit more outta the car - and flash up my storage space - yours is flash-as!! Go you!!!!
Thank you danny! Good luck on your renovations. 🤘🏻
I lived out of a car for 5 months and then a large cargo van for 9 months. The cargo van with a cage was much better for privacy although when sleeping in a car and you get cold, you turn on the engine and run the heat and then go back to sleep. I have housing now. These TH-cam videos had an impact on my decision to try this lifestyle. To be honest, I found the whole fucking thing to be depressing and you know you are living on the wrong side of the law since there are cops out at night looking for people to mess with. They say you do not know what you have until it is gone. Having heat at night, a toilet to use, running water and even a sink to spit your toothpaste after brushing your teeth are wonderful things to have. I can only speak from my experience.
It’s cool that you gave it a try! I had my share of depressing days on the road too, but when I had a purpose and a healthy routine it was great. Plus there is a lot to say about intentional deprivation to inspire appreciation for those little things you mentioned. Better than having thought about it but never tried, right?
Yeah I have no idea why people do this. You're being willingly homeless.
@@EzraB123 I tried this lifestyle and was totally miserable everything is such a hassle.
what were the biggest hassles?
@@LiveEasy dude you have it sorted, but for me food preparation was a big hassle, not enough fresh food, poor nutrition seemed to affect my judgment whilst travelling, setting up was a hassle, police waking me was a hassle, getting the spare out was a hassle, and overtaxing a vehicle that was not built to do what i was doing proved costly as well.
It works for you and that's awesome, thx for showing us how you do it.
The sarcasm and humor is excellent. This guy is so cool. Happy and safe travels to you. 🤗🙏🏾🙌🏾
Thanks so much! 😁
Why are you using black hands
I agree!
Perfect sense of humor unlike any other van lifer car camping person making videos this was fun to watch I look forward to Future content LOL
Thanks a lot for stopping to leave the kind response.
I must say as a 54 yr young grandmom you gave me some really awsome tips. Thank you much and keep them wheels rolling. God Bless!
Well done mate. I've been living in my Ford Escape for 12 years and wouldn't have it any other way. You must be highly organized and totally clean within the panels of your home. A grubby car with obvious signs will always attract attention. Clean healthy lifestyle is recommended and you will save a fortune on living costs. Cheers from Australia 😀
Hey Peter! Clean is SOO important in such a small space, particularly when it comes to psychological health. 12 years in an Escape? I could probably learn a lot from you. Cheers to you!

Wow. Truly came across several ideas I have never seen before here! Exercise mat, boat carpet, and the perforated vinyl are brilliant solutions! Nice job.
So glad to hear you found this useful! 🙂
Damn dude. Your neatness really soothes my OCD. 🤣
The Hitech Hobo totally
i'm like "how he do dat?!?", lol.
I mean this in the nicest way possible but I’d just like to point out the need to be super organised is NOT OCD.
I’m not offended because, frankly, I have pretty thick skin but lots of people talk about “having OCD” but all they’re doing is trivialising the condition. It’s distressing to live with genuine OCD. The risk of suicide is higher and substance abuse is common. When you have legit OCD, you only engage in specific actions as a way to stop something terrible (bearing in mind this terrible thing is usually completely fabricated in your head) from happening.
Just for the sake of education, here’s an example:
Switching a light on and off three times when you enter a room because it’s a habit - not OCD
Switching a light on and off three times when you enter a room because you’re terrified that a murderer will be encouraged to enter and kill you if you don’t - more likely to be OCD
Being organised for the sake of it and because it looks pretty - not OCD
Being organised so that you are prepared for the apocalypse and want to make sure that you can grab everything you need at a moment’s notice - more likely to be OCD
Having intrusive thoughts about your partner engaging in sexual acts (maybe even somebody from their past) and abusing substances or asking questions about her past to help “cope” with the images - likely to be OCD
Quadruple checking that your house windows are locked because if you don’t lock it, your cat might escape and get hit by a car - likely to be OCD
Hoarding personal possessions due to a fear of losing your identity if you give up or sell the things you own - likely to be OCD
OCD can be horrendously destructive to one’s psyche. I know you didn’t mean anything by it but, as someone that suffers with it, I just want to get as much education out there as possible so that next time someone says it, they stop and reassess.
Best wishes to you :)
+Lucas Williams
I'm sorry to tell you but switching a light on/off a specific amount of times before one enters/exits a room IS obsessive compulsive. What you're calling a habit is actually OCD. Being organized is NOT OCD. However, if items are moved and one immediately places them back to their original locations (accompanied by stress) OCD would likely be the diagnosis.
Doing any of the above because one thinks they'll be murdered or there's a coming apocalypse, it's probably schizophrenia or bipolar disorder.
The Hitech Hobo I approve the OCD ...LOL
Not sure which is more attractive here, the determination and self-reliance or the playful attitude. Your life looks fun!!!
I bet he saves a lot of money ... housing should not be so costly like we make it to be
It's really not bad if you move to a less expensive place.
This is No way to live, it might be cool for a youtube video, but thats it, there is No advantage to squeezing yourself into a cramped sweaty car with No toilet, fridge etc, its retarded
Yes but here you're trading off cost for less security. AT least with most apartments, they would be more secure than a car. This might be OK for a weekend trip, but for full time or even for extended periods of time, you're either going to want a camper of some sort.
What if... he need money and want to work? If he get a job, what he is going to put? You know. Address, etc.
Favorite car camper on TH-cam. Great Filming, editing and story telling
Thanks Ruskin!
Wow! This is amazing! He turned the Prius into a living space. This is incredible. Unbelievable. More power to you. YOU have done an amazing job. Wow! YOU have made it like home. More power to you!
Im living out of my 2012 jetta so thx for showing us ur car. I appreciate your tidyness and no nonsense stuff you dont need. Clever ideas in storage and using your space in a very versitle way. Ur great!
Kat Turner I’m considering doing the same thing in my car. Question, Where is a good place to park and sleep at night where you won’t get harassed?
Thanks Kat! Are you any closer to making the move now?
@@charlesthomas9226 I mainly use the app RV Parky if I'm sticking around a city. They give you Walmarts, truck stops, rest areas, Cabelas, Cracker Barrels. Or if you want to find BLM, campendium.com and freecampsites.net give you a ton of free camping options. Sometimes you can even find city parks to stay at for free. Plus, some even have free electric!
SUPER smart arrangement! I'm moving into my Outback (granted a bit more space) but this video has been the most helpful thus far for how I like to live from a vehicle.
Thanks for the great feedback, Kris. If you’re interested, I have more useful info in blog form at liveeasydrivehard.com

Thanks for the thoughtful comment and kind words! It really is surprising how little room one needs with all the public facilities available.
You're AWESOME, Easy. Love your content... you DO realize you could make a fine living in Stand Up comedy... for real. Hit up 'open mic nights' throughout your travels! Stay blessed, Bro!
Thanks Mark! Watching stand up was how I spent nearly every night for years as a kid. I’d love to put 5 minutes together and give it a try. 🙂
Amazing ideas, very smart, encompasses all issues with excellent aesthetic results. The perforated vinyl - brilliant!!! You’re a brainiac! Wish you a great life Dude!
You’re too kind. 😁
Love this! Not my car of choice but I love how everything has been thought through!!
Wow. Thats incredible how much you have in your tiny car. Wow. All organized also. Very creative.
Thank you Kay. Organization is crucial in such a small space.
Thanks for the idea: I was going to velcro a flexible 200 watt solar panel on my bug but dreaded drilling into the roof. Now I see you don't have to drill. I love how you mounted your panel and just shut the door on the solar wires.
The upside to doing it your way is helping with fuel economy.
“Not going anywhere”
“Lightly shakes it and it wobbles loose”
I sold my gas guzzling Mercedes E class and bought the same model Prius as you. The money I've saved this past year has surpassed my expectations - I'm getting more than double the miles for every gallon I buy. As for the size of the car - it's bigger inside than the Merc was and has loads of storage space. I'm totally sold on this car and as for comments about the climate control/ ac, it's the best system I've had on ANY car! Loved the video and the drone shot at the start is SO impressive!
Thanks for the kind words. And yeah I’ve never been happier with a car, yet so many people LOVE to hate Priuses.
I was about to load a 3-seat sofa from IKEA into my '04 Prius and a guy next to me in an SUV said, "Are you expecting to get all that in your car?" I had a good laugh when I pulled away with the sofa snug in my car while he was still struggling to load up. I now refer to my Prius as my truck.
😂 Heck yeah! They are larger than they seem.

Thanks Eric. Yeah our cars are so good that people have to make up ridiculous or inaccurate reasons to hate them.
So true. But we're the one's passing by them as they fill up their cars at the gas station.
I am actually planning to do a video that is a response to Prius haters. I have heard people say that it pollutes more than a hummer, that the fuel economy is exaggerated and actually worse than comparable gas vehicles, and that if you drive one you are a feminine gay extreme liberal who drives horribly and virtue signals to everyone around them about how they are saving the planet. 🤔
Ha, ha, ha. I wasn't trying to save the planet when I purchased my Prius. After owning a Ford Explorer, I was trying to save some cash by being able to pass by as many gas stations as I could without stopping.
As far as exaggerating gas mileage, I was getting 48-50 mpg when I first purchased it. That was eight years ago. I probably get around 45 or so mpg now. I think this is because of my driving habits. When I first got the car, I paid attention to how my driving may be influencing the mpg. Now I don't pay attention. But I'm still passing by a lot of gas stations.
As for being feminine, gay, extremely liberal. I'm pretty sure I don't qualify.
You mentioned getting exceptional wear out of your brake pads. Honestly, I thought I was being negligent because I have 98,000 miles and I'm on the same pads. I had the dealership check them with my last oil change. They said, "Nope, you don't need pads. Still good."
These folks can talk about my Prius all they want. It has been nothing but outstanding. I love it!
Sweet! Love the humor injections too!!! Haha. I had a 2007 Prius. I didn’t live in it, per se, but I did a lot of camping in it! Took it off road in the California desert! And smoked many cars on the road!!! You have a nice setup. And I like the security options! Cheers and safe travels!!!
Probably some fuken 11 year old writing this.... I can smell the bullshit all the way over here at the moon
John Hill you got smoked by a Duramax
Best Prius conversion I've ever seen, and I've seen them all.
Thanks Annmarie. I’d love to do a new one some day and try changing a few things up.
That's a slick set up with good ideas.
The car looks good done that way.
Thanks James!
Wow, I can definitely live in there! I thought I would need at least a van to live, but you convinced me that it's possible to go even smaller! Btw you did a much better job than some other dude who lives in a Tesla model X
Thanks! Yeah a model X is my real dream car though. 😜
Your Prius is very organized and clean. Congrats!! Thanks, great video :)
Thanks!
Dude, love your video. Thank you for tips! Love your style. And the best part.... THE FRIDGE!
I loved this! Great installations. I'm likely getting a prius in the upcoming weeks and have been thinking about how to take it on road trip adventures.
as soon as he showed the lift bridge, i was like “hey thats my city” lmao duluth sure is fun 😎🤠
Awesome ideas and love your personality! Thank you for sharing!!🙏
This dude looks quite neat n tidy n happy. His face shows he is mentally prepared n maybe welcome this nomadic living style. I opine mentality is a big factor in living a life of this nomadic style.
Thanks!
You hit the nail on the head. Mentality is huuuge. Regular exercise, the right informational input, some project or purpose. I did have my share of bummer days though.
Thank you for the tips! I'm moving to LA and am kinda scared about doing this but watching your vids makes me feel better. My family is totally against it but I'm not gonna live in a hostel or rent a room in some person's apartment. I have a Honda fit that I can sprawl out in (I'm 5'8 on a good day) so for once it pays to be short haha
Nice! Good luck out there. You will find plenty of others doing the same thing.
You seem like a fun guy to be around! Love your set up! Thanks for sharing!👍😉
Thanks 😁
@@LiveEasy you really have a grt presentation. And your cheery positivity and enthusiasm comes through.
You are awesome and inspiring! We can all live the best life on our own terms if we so choose
This is perfect! I love your idea of drying clothes. Thanks for your great idears!
SO VERY HELPFUL!!! THANKS AND GOOD LUCK :)
Great video. Thanks a lot for sharing! I plan to someday dwell inside my Prius-C someday.
Michael Ayala Damnnnn. Do it and you’re my hero. Better get really good with minimalism if you want to keep up a decent appearance though. Every single time you leave a mess or don’t put something back, you create an obstacle for your future self.
Live free my brother! You only go at this once! Enjoy your video! God Bless
Drill a hole through the end of your clothes-rod, then zip-tie it to the handles. Cool video, man. Creative use of space.
It amazes me how many people live in their cars !
There are so many videos about this topic
Right? I’m as surprised as you.
I was a subscriber as soon as you said loudly "they got another thing coming." I'm still cracking up but stopped the video to type this lol.
Yessss! 😄
I couldn't stop 😂😂 for 10 mins. Totally subbed
holy crap man
get on his level bro
The Freedom Van nope nope nope
Will - don't get any ideas! You already have an RV. :)
@@WillProwse shut up
i just got a prius and i got this in my recommended. i know what i’m doing once i graduate.
Get iiiit, Parker! 🤘🏻
Thanks dude! This was very helpful, especially the window tenting.
I'm moving into a Ford Focus soon and boondocking my way up the Pacific Northwest coast.. you're video also made my dream feel doable!!
Ahh! Thank you so much, and best of luck on your adventure. Sounds like a blast!
You should do a video on why you live and travel in your Prius and how you support that life style in the US
$100 seems really reasonable for that solar kit. Thanks for the Amazon link man
Keep in mind that it does not come with the battery, but yeah it is a great price
@@LiveEasy whats stopping you from hooking up to the cars 12v battery?
It’s not a deep cycle battery.
But if you're trying to be discreet about living in your car, doesn't having that on your car give you away?
An overwhelming majority of people will not notice it. Those that do, will have no idea why it’s there. So many people think it’s to power the car 🤷🏻♂️
somone gave me an 06 prius,, i never knew anything about these cars, its actually amazing technology.. like a rolling generator you can drive.. we have a 36ft blue bird wanderlodge and i thought things were getting tight inside, thanks for resetting my brain and life priorities... awesome vid brother..
Thanks Lister!
