Yep, my grandfather taught me three rules to life. 1. Don't like something just because you think other people will like it, because they won't. 2. Don't sleep with people who have more problems than you do. 3. And finally, Don't shit where you eat.
Living in a van eliminates a lot of the worst parts of being homeless. But yeah, it's an alternative lifestyle. And in many places, still technically homeless.
there's definitely a lot of sacrifice lol but you do save a lot of money without paying rent/ utilities (at least not to the extent of an apartment/house). It's worth it imo as someone who loves nature/ travel and paying rent at an apartment would be a waste if I'm never there bc of outdoor recreation jobs/ camping trips
@@lilywhetsell8106seems to me that you could easily pay as much or more for gas that you would pay in rent. Benefit being... You have a different living-room window view every day. The freedom of van life appeals to me. Maybe in the next life. :)
@@MattMcConahaI think everywhere its technically homeless. Being homeless is sometimes a choice. Doesn’t always mean the person is destitute. Just means you done have a permanent, fixed housing situation
It’s electric! ⚡️ Reminds me of when families would keep a household poop bucket in house in the corner, waiting until nightfall to empty it. It’s that, but electric. W E L C O M E T O T H E F U T U R E P L E B S
these people are so full of crap. i bet not one of them actually live in their van full time. its a pathetic life and they push this on the young people as if its a good thing to do. get a life
@@Zoeyyyyy10 why would you want to pull it out in the kitchen ... ah i see pull it out in the kitchen .. then you place it in the toilet .. still cant eat it just cus its created in the kitchen !
@@whysopandadon't know if ur joking or what but let me explain it....The person who made the comment was saying that they don't wanna shit in a toilet that's gonna be under their bed, and the other person replied saying "and eating" the person who replied is practically saying that they don't want to shit in a toilet that's gonna be under a bed and infront of a kitchen....They said nothing about eating...
Everytime I see these van videos I'm like "My IBS would never allow me to live in a van" I get anxiety just thinking about not being able to go when I need to. I live on the toilet. :(
Ohh my god, the unholy liquid shits that come out after drinking liquor, I'd have to replace the bag every single time, ain't gonna be no 15 uses. At that point might as well just shit outside
It does smell. I have been in someone's van where they have one of these. It was not unbearably rancid but you could TELL someone was shitting in the van. I think you just rapidly get used to/don't notice your own waste smells.
It helps greatly if they open he windows and turn the roof fan on. If you were smelling something in there. They either diddnt do that, clean out their fridge or garbage.
Ahh man .They really need to teach more perspective in life .lol u guys are so sheltered .Yall think everyone just does shit like this because they want to .Most do it BECUse they have to so sit there and judge all u want be greatful ur parents carried ur lazy ass through life like u guys look at life like we all start off the same lol eith the same family same life ur goofy
With a difference: She is not paying mortgage, neither city and county taxes and above all, having fun travelling and getting to know anywhere she wants.
@@sophiahuber4756 don’t mind buying property, paying taxes and all of that to have a proper toilet. When you have enough money, it doesn’t matter, you can still travel extensively
@@rohinireddy547 Because she is traveling like that it does not mean she does not have money, she is just happy that she could accommodate a toilet in her van. I don't think you got the point.
I love her confidence. And the kid people here. Also psa the reason it doesn't smell is probably because it uses something that's neutralizing like charcoal or something that can hold on to the particles that make poop smell.
Hey, that's how you know it's real!! My bf and I started dating at 16, and we're 23 now. I literally had to poop next to him when we were camping, so sweet to know true love is still out here!
Some 15 years ago, I came up with the idea to line a plain commode with a good plastic bag and a handful of clumping kitty litter. And then just put them like six deep, so each one could just be used, pulled, knotted and tossed. The home aids who saw it were all astounded, it beat the hell out of cleaning commodes. My bad. None of these other products existed. Now they even sell bags with pee powder preloaded. If I'd had the brains to patent it...I'd have a chauferred Class A motorhome by now! But that silvery push button whirly stuff, that sure is elegant.
no offense but yall aren't very intelligent. you see part of being lesser intelligent is thinking something is bad or gross when it's no affect on anything. so in the case this is gross to most on here. that's most comments ..well ya Mos people are dumb thats expected. most people copy each othrt too. So yall think irs gross when it's has no affect on anything. no offense but yalls stupidity is why people are grabbing door handles with there shirt cauze they don't want germs lol , so stupid... you guys just not smart im sorry it's true . what do you mean with out water you aren't perfectly clean underneath? you talking wiping ? cause no one here uses water. we have toilet paper and wet wipes. I use wet wipes. So let's assume she has both toilet paper and wet wipes. okay now what is gross again? she said no smell . okay so again what's gross again ? just knowing it's there ? that's stupid ...
Yeah, it's really isn't not hilarious to have pee powder in seasoning shell. That piss covered jar belongs somewhere else. Like that girls pillow as a fun risk.😂
I went about 3 days without a toilet when I first did vanlife. It was pouring rain, freezing in the middle of the night and I had to do my business. I vowed never again. No regrets about having a portable toilet in my van lol. Stay warm and dry out there folks.
Glad I ran into your video That's the toilet I've been looking at for my truck camper after seeing you literally picking it up and taking it outside and how it really operates that's going to be my toilet for my truck camper
I woulda invested in a toilet a loonnnngggg time ago. I use a hospital bedside potty for camping. You put a bag in the bucket and follow a similar routine as you described but the bag doesn't tie it's self😂
I use an old spackling compound or paint bucket from Lowe's after the paint and other is scraped rinsed out it makes a great spot a pot bonus has a snap down lid. We used it a few times at the house too because our septic tank was built wrong so at times when it's raining a lot or snowing heavily it's sluggish to flush our toilet and we don't want a disaster in the bathroom so out comes spot a pot
I do the same but I throw some pete moss or sawdust or crushed up leaves in there. It eliminates smell and soaks up any liquids. Also you can get compostable bags that you can just bury so you don't have to transport anything.
