I only had a hot tea for her. She said the shelters were not safe enough.

Every city in North America is feeling the housing pinch.

@@joycebelk4634 - So why are you blaming one person for the homeless? That's not even logical. A few years ago, my city received a little over $4 million from the Federal Government to improve the city. The mayor asked the citizens for their input as to how to better use the money. I replied by sending the mayor an email saying that with the homeless problem every city and community in the country is having and will all the unused property the city has like empty buildings and empty parking lots, it would benefit the city to adjust their zoning laws and establish tiny house communities and start homeless programs to re-enter them into the workforce and reteach them how to be self sufficient with helping them get jobs through the program which would also give employers some tax breaks. You know what they did with that $4 million dollars? They built these lavish apartment buildings and said they were low housing complexes with a studio starting at $1800 per month. Now you tell me what the common sense was in that spending spree and did it benefit the homeless?
The second motorcycle camper shown is made of water resistant canvas. As a former Boy Scout I wouldn't recommend it as canvas has to be retreated frequently after rain. I would suggest getting the optional brakes on the trailer. A slick road will put you down if the trailer is pushing you while trying to stop.
Bicycle campers with good quality locks would be such a fantastic thong to give to the homeless population, especially those already using bikes but having to shelter under tarps. It would enable the recipients to gain some ground against a harsh situation.
All these bike campers would be great in the flatter countries, but anywhere you had hills no electric bike is going to help you! I live in Cornwall, England and trust me we have a serious amount of hills EVERYWHERE. Flat areas, next to none lol…
@@g-r-a-e-m-e- I was joking with the person from Cornwall in the UK, who made the comment about the amount of hills there, I come from there too. Goonhilly Downs (Google it, there's a satellite station there) is about a mile stretch of road and the flattest part of the whole county, and the only area where you could enjoy an easy ride before the next hill looms around the corner.
I designed one (12:35) in Fusion 360 for myself last year. His website was critical in that recreation effort. I built the base last summer. This summer I'll finish it for my late September camping. Too many bugs until then.
Much better than a tent when it rains. Easier to set up, and better security. But not for windy places and hills, even with an electric bike. Interesting in the camping sites where you can hope to pick up your mini-house after shopping in town and your bike after night. Some are very funny, make me smile, and people who are watching can laugh.
Fully agree. As a long time road bicyclist I would consider wind resistance, centre of gravity and weight as major design criteria. Very easy the trailer can become dangerous to the bicyclist …. Not easy to design a good solution.
I mean just looking at these makes you really think you can actually live in a pinch if it ever comes to that. This is a new way to look at camping, exploring, living, etc.
When I rode from Miami to Seattle, I carried 33 pounds of gear, total. I rode against the wind, all the way - and that was enough. The thought of towing a small house behind me, over the Rockies, is unthinkable! These little houses are great for couch potatoes, who daydream. A week on the road, however, would lead to tears.
@@jthepickle7 I don’t think recreation came into play with these bike campers. I think is was strictly survival. I doubt they would leave the area they live now just live there safely.
A tent is not a solid structure. Most of these campers can hold your items and be easily moved with belongings inside if you need to leave quickly. A tent would have to be left behind.
Danke für den spannenden Einblick ins Micro Camping! 😍 Das haben wir vor kurzem auch aus probiert - und zwar in der Altmark in Sachsen-Anhalt. Finden wir eine richtig coole Möglichkeit zum Urlaubmachen! 🙂
One winter in Western MT, dozens of snowy owls appeared in the trees and stayed for days, eating the extra bounty of mice and voles that were there. They hunted, lounged, preened, and had a good time in the daylight.
I would feel so vulnerable riding around with one of these on the back or sleeping remotely in one. Somehow a tent seems more sensible and less obvious, more practical.
@@egeyermusic a tent only provides shelter but no safety from animals or villains. You won’t find me sleeping in a tent nowhere no how. But that’s just me. I know 1,000 sleep in tents and that’s the best they can do but for me I’d be too scared to sleep unless there were people around to help you.
HOORAY !!!!! FINALLY !!!!! I'm so happy for both of you . . . I think we all already knew . . . I'm glad it's official now !!!!! You guys ROCK !!!! I hope you're all having a great time and adventure !!!! Be careful and enjoy !!!!!!! ❤
That is good idea to have a trailer for bicycles, that seems like something i would want by i was over thirty years younger, and camp near a park with a shower and restroom area near the a small town area for tourists to take showers.
I thought of something ding ding light bulb! There are a lot of comments about speed, street structure, dirt roads. uphills, etc! E bikes i rest my case 😊
@@suzie_lovescats there's a place for everything and that's a nice contraption, but most people with limited funds are probably better off getting a regular sized boat, a truck, and a trailer, all for less than 15k
Modi is pretty good. I live in Canada. Because of enormous regulations a unit like that could be illegal. Possibly destroying the land or causing traffic accidents. All it takes is one person to say something and then you are finished.
I have a Schwinn bike trailer for pets. Just toss a tent, sleeping bag and all the camping gear in it. It is certainly cheaper and lighter than most of these options.
Most important thing is aerodynamics mostly against wind or strong side winds, i suppose the ideal trailer is a flat one that folds in two to erect a big tent but it seems its just unnecesary and you rather use a trailer to bring essential things and bring GOTS certificated cotton or hemp cloth tarp to build a tent anywhere (synthetic cloth is toxic)
Since I live in an apartment, the only one that I would be able to store is The Foldavan. I do like the simple features on it because I enjoy camping and not having too many accessories.
It is more temp controlled,doesn’t always require as much assembly/disassembly as tents, plus some have some wild features! Like the z-triton one and the my pod 😮
@@Sunfl75 I’m guessing they don’t want to be eaten in their sleep. The bike campers offer a bit more safety than a tent. We use to do a lot of tent camping in our younger days and I never once thought about what lurks in the woods but when I did I know I’ll never ever sleep in a tent again.
You didn't show how all are slept in or how all the beds fold out! We would really appreciate you doing the conversions for us too! How the hell long is 3 meters?! Don't make me think about that while I'm trying to watch the video!
I would worry about roads, such as the ones in Cumbria where I live. People drive like maniacs. The amount of cars I’ve seen this year with scrapes and dents. My Mom and I nearly had a head on collision the other week near bassenthwaite after a sports car overtook someone on a bend. We missed them by a cat’s whisker.
A small trailer big enough to contain an actual packed-down tent and other supplies would be more efficient. I guess it's the set-up speed you're after but it's hardly the best way to transport accommodation.

Just soak organic fabric on soy wax once a while and use an dense untreated external organic fabric as sun protection layer

Agreed it should be stated that with an ebike to have at least a 1 horsepower motor.
You can put a gas engine on just about any bike fairly cheap and they usually go 100 miles+ on a gallon of gas

Great idea, if you have an electric bike and an efficient solar panel charging system.
I like the mini mate camper and my pad! They are roomy!
The best are the ones you can walk in without crouching.

NYC wanted to put some in Times Square for the homeless. They chose a 4 star hotel instead!

you want fries with that?
And when people get sick 🤢, and pregnant Mama's, etc. That is no fun in any tiny space.
