If You Had To - Are You Prepared To Sleep + Live In Your Car?

-

prepare yourself to the realiation that you may have to live out of your vehicle - for a short or long time
If you own a vehicle, you know how much you need it to get through your day. One day, your car may have to be used for more than just getting you from place to place - it may become the only place you have to lay your head. It may become your home. 

If you are in a predicament and you can’t reach your bug-out location, or if your home is, all of a sudden, not available to you, your vehicle may become the only place you have, when the sun goes down. 

Preparing Your Vehicle as a Place To Live

Preparing to live out of your car means making sure you can use it for storage and as the place where you will have to reside. 

To get it ready, you will need;

  • sunshades for insulation and privacy
  • seat organizers for gear
  • window covers to block light at night
  • blankets
  • sleeping pads or a small inflatable mattress that fit your seat layout
  • Include extra water, snacks, and small cooking gear like a camp stove or gas fueled stove.   

Keep battery banks or solar chargers for powering lights or radios. 

🌲If you want, you can add a portable toilet solution (foldable bucket, waste bags) for sanitation.

Make sure you have emergency tools: 

  • jumper cables
  • repair kits
a tire inflator

Get regular maintenance for your engine and brakes

You will nee vehicle to be reliable and it is your safe place. Living in your car isn’t the ideal solution, but it can buy you time to regroup and start your journey.

And, it a lot cheaper than a hotel room, every night. 

With the right preparation, your car can go from being only your transportation, into your mobile home.
