  • I'm solo car camping in my minivan in the middle of the woods on a cold night! I was off grid car camping also known as Boondocking in my van. I love sleeping in my warm van on cold nights. Temperature got below freezing this night. Defiantly doing more car camping in the woods soon.

    Like your setup, seems very relaxing. However, it looks like you parked nose first off the road. Always back in so you won't get trapped in or need to back up or turn around having make a quick get away, that's camping 101.

    I like your video your van is clean & looks organized. You speak clearly your camera shots are clear and steady so we can see and understand your content. That is professional. I have turned a few van life videos off because I can't understand the content as they shake the camera around I'm sure they don't edit and it becomes boring & confusing. Thank you for the time & effort you have put into you video. Very well done and entertaining!! Great work!
