    Like yourself I try to get to my camp before darkness. I've been a nomad since 1988 and I have yet to stay at a Walmart. I've been living this way longer than most van-lifers have been alive. I'm 62 years old now and I'm far from being done. Anyway you and your friends have a great wonderful weekend. Peace out

      Hello Mister Richard🙏
      Where do you usually stay since it's never been Walmart?
      I've been vanlifing for 21 years and love the freedom and adventure, yet I've stayed at Walmart over the night, many times and am ALWAYS very respectful and very thankful plus patronizing. I think it's exceptional of Walmart to allow people to get some rest on their property. I used to stay in nature all the time, and sense I might be circling around nature style again. Things often go in the circles of life...and respecting our blessings is very very important... and also being thankful.
      Happy trails to
      all🎶🙏🌻

      @@forestsky6026 luckily I live in Oregon. Or I should say the great northwest. So I have plenty of places to stay for free. Don't get me wrong I'm not saying anything wrong about staying at Walmart overnight. It's just not for me. And I may not have much but I give thanks every day for what I do have. Anyway happy trails to you and happy holidays.

    Yosemite in winter is magical. Well, Yosemite anytime is magical, but winter has it's own special feeling.
    So amazing that you got to meet Alex. His brain is definitely wired a bit differently than the rest of us. But he's an inspiration. He isn't foolhardy, he plans everything out so carefully; but soloing certainly takes a different type of personality.

    Quite the contrast (and want to know more about the Wal-Mart next to BLM land - that has to be a story!) - but you never know where life will take you. So glad you talked about the precautions you take (the extra locks on the van, parking them slider to slider, etc.). Then, the shots in Yosemite Valley - AWESOME! Plus, what a difference year to year. Some great shots of El Capitan, and the mighty Merced River running through the valley. Loved some of the shots of Eliza in her winter finery.
    Thanks for sharing, and safe travels - and, if you make it back to your mom's area, let some of us know - would love to have a day hike with a group!

When you fry it do you need to do it after you've fried vegetables etc. so it takes on a flavor or can you fry it separately? I've heard it is basically tasteless.

    Hi, something struck me when you said you always kept a weapon next to you when you slept. What do van dwellers do if they travel with a firearm? As someone outside the US I’m curious what the rules are. As I understand it the rules change state to state so is it even possible to legally travel between states with a firearm given that any firearm registration is probably done in your home state.

    • @H2Dwoat

      @stacymcmahon453 Před rokem

      If the gun stays in your vehicle then you won't have a problem, unless you give the police some other reason to search it. The handguns commonly used for self defense have very few restrictions, especially in the western states where most vanlifers seem to stay. Some cities ban them locally, but again that's only an issue if you want to carry your gun outside the van. Also to note, statistically almost all of the US is as safe as western Europe. "Stealth campers" might be in a little extra danger when they are staying in a parking lot in town, because that's also the kind of place bad people seek out late at night.
