She really has, several times. Her channel is easy to follow, the playlist is there and the episodes are numbered. I started following when she was still working, but for the people that are really interested or curious about van life and/or Nomi, it's worth it to start at the beginning.
I gotta say, I happened by your video and notice not only how prepared and organized you are, but how very helpful and supportive this thread is. You haven’t just got subscribers, you have supporters. These people are awesome on here. You guys rock, and she is absolutely killing it! =)
I have a cooler that keeps ice cold for 5 days, and it actually does keep ice for 5 days, I purchased it at walmart, it has a label on it that says it keeps ice for 5 days, its gray, with a white lid, it's the best cooler I ever purchased. 😁👍
I have a mini mini van and I contemplate getting a small RV or bigger van, but then I realize how much I love my current van and how much easier it is to drive, park, be stealth etc. So I decided to drive it until the wheels fall off.@dede.terrebonneterrebonne9914
Where I’m from 279 cars got broke into in parking garages in one week. Cars also get towed out of parking garages but it’s good you feel safe. I SUV camped for two years (by choice). It got old so I went and got my CDL and started driving semi trucks
@@freedomforever1962there’s literally hundreds of free campgrounds or very cheap state parks with plenty of free space away from other ppl. IMO it’s safer than being in a crowded city. Especially if a storm is coming
User: Not as exhausting and overwhelming as getting to 62 and not being able to afford housing after an entire career paying rent. If young people would van life, they would be able to buy some kind of housing before they retired.
@crystalh6733 i have actually been doing some research on the suburu, I'm a new driver, and wanted to be as safe as possible how is the driver safety features on it?
PRO TIP ....if you need to use ice, get a dry bag put all your food in it before putting ice in. The, just throw the whole bag of ice on top ... in the bag. it will stay longer and your food won't have a risk of leaking in the packaging. 👍
And instead of ice cubes, see if you can find a block of ice. It takes up a lot of space but it stays frozen for so much longer than cubes. Or pick a bag of cubes that are frozen solid together and don’t break em up
The person that parked next to you might be sleeping in their vehicle also, Lol!! You are correct most people are not paying that much attn to their surroundings. Too busy playing on their phones.
Love your content. I sleep in parking garages too..No one cares to be honest. I usually cook my food and get my night time routine done before I go find a place to sleep so I'm just sleeping when I pull in. I hate trying to cook in my truck and be stealthy. I go to city parks to make my meals so I can have all the doors open and windows ..Cooking food in my truck gets all kinds of smells after awhile ..boo...but love ya!
Ugh why did that guy have to park right next to you, with all that space in that lot. Sorry but I would have had to move far away from him. Who pees inside a parking garage?! Anyway, glad that you had a peaceful and a safe night's sleep😊
I wanted an extraordinarily birthday and I just experienced it. I was watching this video with tears in my eyes, thanks you so much for sharing your experiences with us 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
You are so correct about people being in their own little worlds not really noticing others. When I realized that, it opened up so many opportunities! Don't worry what others may think because they only think of what's going on in their lives.
Hi Naomi, I have a 2010 Pearl Forester with 63k+ miles. I absolutely love it. Dealership keeps trying to get me to trade up. Just a suggestion; try getting rain guards; they just have 3M stickers for application. I installed myself. They will provide air without rain entering your space be it parked or driving. Good luck with your new home!! Note: I purchased rain guards from Subaru (not Weathertech).
I second this! Put rain guards on my outback and honestly, very necessary! If you get net covers for the windows to keep bugs out, with the rain guards on you can crack the windows about an inche without anyone being able to see and rain can't come in! Very helpful.
Those power stations are really convenient. I have a BLUETTI . I had it for 2 years and finally, used it to connect my router, laptop and monitors to continue working from home during a power outage. I was heading to the office when I remembered I had it. Lol. Everyone needs a power station. I’m going to get the solar panels too.
Power stations make no noise at all. You can plug in your phone to charge, use anything that needs electricity. Lamp, fan, etc etc. They are great to have. Higher the watts you get the more things you can use it for. @s.s.tillmanesq.305
Amazing Nomi, you went from riding a boat in Thailand to stealth camping in a parking garage! Thank you for taking all of us on your wonderful journey. Stay safe🌻
Yeah, but if she keeps telling everyone, eventually everyone will start doing it, then it will be band. I wouldn’t be giving all my secrets away. Some, not all
I would love the van life but my bladder would have a complete fit and I would probably have to pee every hour . It would be super inconvenient trying to find a bathroom all hours of the night lmao
Also there's pee funnels made for women. I've seen them super-cheap on temu. Then you can pee into a jug or behind a bush without a lot of fumbling with your pants.
Please think about condensation in your vehicle. If you do not have proper ventilation, you will get mold in your Subaru. This is very important, along with a Carbon monoxide monitor.
Not sure why but this brings me anxiety. I watched you for a very very long time. I love seeing you in your RV and all the travels that you had for some reason maybe it’s claustrophobia that you’re in the back of a SUV. I’ll hang in there watching you, but I don’t mind telling you. It really gives me anxiety lol.
Well having done both. Im sure she has less anxiety dealing with van repairs parking . Its more stressful finding stealth parking in van. Less potential for robberies. People know that people are in those large vans. Im sure although smaller its less stressful. She knows what works for her.
I have 2 of the exact Ecoflow power stations. They are great to have when camping, beaching, sport or whatever. I have an Iceco fridge/freezer that my ecoflow delta 2 keeps powered. Love it.
I be waiting on your notification to pop up on my phone. You always make my day , you have such a good vibe. I pray the Lord continues to bless you in every area of your life🙏🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🥰
Hey Nomi, I really understand why you decided to get a smaller vehicle for your nomadic lifestyle; like you said your van did stick out like a sore thumb; not that anything is wrong with that for when you at a camp site but, for what you are doing right now makes a lot more sense; I ain't mad at you gurl, I'm cheering you on, go for it and be safe.
It's just the way Weathertech rolled them - just take the 2 triangle window covers and roll them opposite- that should straighten them out after a day rolled up
BINGO !! I have them and they fit Perfect, after they flattened out ... KEY is DON'T roll them up to stow them.... Lay them FLAT, like under your mattress !! 👌👍
There’s going to be a solar eclipse on 4/8/24 in certain parts of the country. That would be amazing to witness. You should check it out and film/livestream it😊
She didn't give up her Van. She still has it. This is just when she's going on adventures.She wants to go "stealth". Her words not mine.😊 She explained it in several of her videos.
Another suggestion for the window covers put some thin black strips of tape around the edge of each side and back winndow, almost like a picture frame, so when you put your shades up they will block your cracks of light showing through the windows 👌👍🤓
I made my own, no sewing required. First I made a template of my windows using brown craft paper, then cut those shapes out of 1" memory foam, just a tiny bit better; but not much. Covered one side with pieces cut from thermal black out curtains and Reglectix on the other side. Fit perfect.

Maybe she's saving up to eventually purchase land or a home. Some successes comes with sacrifice. At the rate things are going, we all might need to make some sacrifices that takes us out of the " norm".
No she just to do a proper build out to be organized and an electric fridge along with LED Strip lighting and just run the dam read climate control....
Hello Nomi... FYI: It's a good idea to rinse the rice several times to remove some of the starch prior to cooking. Starches convert to sugar which can lead to diabetes. Thanks for sharing, keep safe and GOD bless you 🙏🏽🙌🏽👏🏽😊
The covers you have on the silver side in switch windows as you probably have them on the wrong windows. Weather tech products are very precise about how their stuff fits. if they don't fit after you switch windows then call customer service and let them know you're having issues with the fit.
I look forward to your adventures, thus bi-weekly posts. What a joy witnessing your enthusiasm for life. I’ve been watching your progress for almost a year and a half. 🫶🏽😂🙏🏽 May God continue to bless you in your new Subaru.
I bought WeatherTech window coverings for my vehicle 2 years ago. I love them. I bought the kit for the whole vehicle. I have an suv. They fit great on all windows - at night there is no light coming in the vehicle. ❤
Never doubted for a moment that things would come together. Glad you're feeling content. Continue to take care of you. Ready for your next "epic" adventure!😊
👋🏽Hey Nomi! A couple of questions: How do you go to the bathroom when you are stealth camping? How will you stay warm when you get to Alaska and the Article Circle?
Glad you got the window covers, just roll them the opposite way to flatten between usages. I would leave those small window panels up in the windows to get them to stick, they will!
WOW, as safe as that is for you it creeps me out to think that when I'm walking in a garage someone could be in their vehicle 😳. I know its the same in any parking lot situation but i just never thought about this. Stay safe and enjoy.
Over several months time, I suspect a mini fridge in the back on the power station would end up being more cost effective than the need every 24 hours to secure more ice. I apologize if you've already mentioned this as a possible future purchase.
I'm loving watching her build out the SUV from scratch. I was thinking about the mini fridge too. She has alot of real estate on that left side of the bed that if tetris'd wisely I'm guessing can fit a mini fridge w the surface on top the fridge for the crockpot, the eco flow and small storage/extra food prep area with pull out drawers for supplies, tools etc. Seat behind driver for luggage etc, change in passengers seat. Or at least that's how I'm imagining it. I'm excited for her Arctic adventure!
Im surprised but happy that Starbucks let you charge a large device like that in their store. I just went to Walmart today as well to get some groceries. Stay safe lovely and thanks for the upload. You made my Saturday.
Nice video. Ironic the another guy was parked right next to you and didn’t even know you were there. This speaks to how well you were undetected and under that radar. Can’t always do this with the big van that we all love so much. I get and totally love this SUV purchase! ❤️
I have these covers, they are made to go either way. The trick is they need to be flat and you just don’t turn them around you have to place them on the opposite window to change it from silver to black. The black is handy during the winter to absorb the sun's rays to keep the vehicle warm.
That Subaru looks good on you!! Stay safe out there. And omg I can't believe you got lao gan ma at Walmart. That was the chili crisp staple for us growing up and we had to get it from the only Asian store in the next town over. Still on regular rotation in my fridge today. 🧡
I have to disagree. There are thousands upon thousands of women stealth camping throughout the United States tonight. Nomi is a smart lady. I am sure she is cautious and keeps her safety education current.
Nomi you made me yawn twice when you yawned lol I love your "own little cave in your own little cove"🥰Stay safe out there! Love and prayers from Michigan. Oh and I missed your peace sign at the end of your vid because I say it along with you! ❤✌🙏
Hi Nomi, you probably get tired of so many ppl giving you suggestions...I can only imagine! That said... I'm about to leave you a suggestion, Lol! Please forgive me! But think it might be a good one to help w your stealth. I noticed that the windows on your stealthmobile don't have rain guards. If you put rain guards on, no one can see your cracked windows, and it's not as easy for someone to try to break in through the cracked window (with something, a wire coat hanger etc, to try to pop the locks open from tbe inside) I put them on my little SUV and it works like a charm with hiding my cracked windows.Bought a set from Amazon. Happy and safe travels. Best to you, T
For everyone who is wondering where the van is at, she explains it all in her previous videos.
Some of us have been gone and missed all those videos so we're trying to catch up

Rain covers for the door windows so that you can crack your windows without ppl knowing.
Great minds! I have them on my 2010 Forester; love them!! Very easy to self install.
I really appreciate how this group shares such great ideas🙏🏿
Yes!! A must have! Very easy to install, too.😎
Thanks for the information! I will purchase for my Subaru too! 😊❤️
Stay safe honey. Thanks for taking us with you on your journey
Some city parks have outlets in their pavilions that you can use to charge your power station.
van life seems overly exhausting and overwhelming. however, i admire your efforts and your content is entertaining. keep going, stay blessed
???? this is a Subaru, not a van. her van is actually way more spacious, this truck isnt built for living, but its more stealth .
Such is life
Not a van

User: Not as exhausting and overwhelming as getting to 62 and not being able to afford housing after an entire career paying rent.
If young people would van life, they would be able to buy some kind of housing before they retired.
Did you know they make a sun roof screen so when ur parked you can leave your sun roof open and get air and ventilation without worrying about bugs.
I didn't know this! This is so helpful!
Yes I have one, it helps a lot.
I have one as well
Where do you buy them?
After watching living in a Subaru living in a van looks like a luxury!

Morning Nomi. You look so happy these days. Not that you ever looked sad, but your energy is just different now.
It’s a new chapter for her. She’s really in her element and it shows!
She does seem happier with this new chapter in her life. I'm happy for her!!😊
I agree. That smile when you closed the back after showing the fully charged power station was so nice to see.
Yes I noticed this also
We all get excited for something new 😊
Check into window rain guards. They are fixated out side the window. You can have your windows cracked and no one will notice.
Spiders come in
Nomi, get yourself a couple of boxes of baking soda to absorb smells. I just did that to get rid of the fried fish that I brought home.
You are so correct about people being in their own little worlds not really noticing others. When I realized that, it opened up so many opportunities! Don't worry what others may think because they only think of what's going on in their lives.

*through
Don't you miss having a bathroom?
She spends time at Starbucks and planet fitness. She uses the bathrooms there.
Bathrooms and houses are a luxury for some people.
Keep the window covers flat under your bed and they will probably fit better when they are flat.
I am happy for you whatever you do, but sad that you had to give up your comfort. The kitchen, the bathroom, storage. Be well❤❤❤
She didn't give up her Van. She still has it. This is just when she's going on adventures.She wants to go "stealth". Her words not mine.😊 She explained it in several of her videos.

👋🏽Hey Nomi! A couple of questions: How do you go to the bathroom when you are stealth camping? How will you stay warm when you get to Alaska and the Article Circle?
I felt you much safer in the van, idk maybe it’s just me but I got why hopefully you will return soon
'No one suspects a thing'. They do now. 😮
You should wipe dry the cooler in between dumping in new ice. Just would if I were using it daily. Could build up slime or something.
Nomi I see all is well I must say that meal looks pretty good be careful and have a safe journey my dear❤
Gm Nomi and have a wonderful Saturday and love watching your videos Nomi ❤❤ Gm Everybody's in the chat and have a wonderful Saturday ❤🙏
You have a good weekend as well!
👋❤
Thanks! You too!
You rock chick..peace and blessings on your journey!!
Love that you have a rice cooker that is only 275 watts! Dinner looks delicious!
You like to buy new stuffs and always get rid of the old stuffs, you remind me of myself 😀
I’m trying to practice this.
It will feel so good, I promise@@maxxinethewoopitcher
I get a kick out of you saying, “First bite is for you.”
I could smell the aroma
I ALWAYS laugh when she says that! I don't know why.
I said no thank you this time because I don't like green peas 😂😭
Batsmati rice stinks like dirty gym socks.
Hate it!!!!
Would you talk more about the portable power supply you just bought? A lot of us I think would be curious how you chose it and where you got it
Glad you got the window covers, just roll them the opposite way to flatten between usages. I would leave those small window panels up in the windows to get them to stick, they will!
🎉🎉🎉 ECOFLOW, You're going to LOVE IT !!!!! 😊
WOW, as safe as that is for you it creeps me out to think that when I'm walking in a garage someone could be in their vehicle 😳. I know its the same in any parking lot situation but i just never thought about this. Stay safe and enjoy.
I agree it's scary
Believe it or not this has been going on for a very long time, it has been a norm for quite some time.
@@finley821 I'm sure it has.
Truckers park all over the place. Really no different. She is stealth camping, be creeped out by stealth body snatchers.😂
✨✨✨✨✨✨
Thumbs up to the positive turnaround with weather tech!!!
I’m totally enjoying you sharing this nomadic life with us. Real adventures!
Naomi if you have the black side facing out it will draw heat to your windows this is supposed to be used in Winter claimants.
Over several months time, I suspect a mini fridge in the back on the power station would end up being more cost effective than the need every 24 hours to secure more ice. I apologize if you've already mentioned this as a possible future purchase.
I'm loving watching her build out the SUV from scratch. I was thinking about the mini fridge too. She has alot of real estate on that left side of the bed that if tetris'd wisely I'm guessing can fit a mini fridge w the surface on top the fridge for the crockpot, the eco flow and small storage/extra food prep area with pull out drawers for supplies, tools etc. Seat behind driver for luggage etc, change in passengers seat. Or at least that's how I'm imagining it.
I'm excited for her Arctic adventure!
We have a small cooler fridge powered through a power station. It can cool or freeze.
Or maybe just a mini ice maker 🤷
@@alexahiramitsu BougeRV sells a few different sizes. It could be helpful.
Im surprised but happy that Starbucks let you charge a large device like that in their store. I just went to Walmart today as well to get some groceries. Stay safe lovely and thanks for the upload. You made my Saturday.
Love your seasoning container Nomi so handy 👏
Look into installing rain guards for the doors so you can crack your windows open.
Nice video. Ironic the another guy was parked right next to you and didn’t even know you were there. This speaks to how well you were undetected and under that radar. Can’t always do this with the big van that we all love so much. I get and totally love this SUV purchase! ❤️
Your window covers should be installed with silver side facing out to reflect sunlight/heat.
Not stealthy, though.
I have these covers, they are made to go either way. The trick is they need to be flat and you just don’t turn them around you have to place them on the opposite window to change it from silver to black. The black is handy during the winter to absorb the sun's rays to keep the vehicle warm.
Subaru rainguards have the best fit and they are a condensation game changer
You look comfortable..I love that yoj feal safe,but i miss your van.
She still has the van.
@@IK_4yes but the van is not being used
@@dede.terrebonneterrebonne9914 No, not at the moment. She still has it, and it will be used again. People need to relax.
@@IK_4We still miss it….. 👀🤷♂️😆💯
Nomi, you should get cornrows for a protective style
That Subaru looks good on you!! Stay safe out there.
And omg I can't believe you got lao gan ma at Walmart. That was the chili crisp staple for us growing up and we had to get it from the only Asian store in the next town over. Still on regular rotation in my fridge today. 🧡
I am too old to do what you do but I love watching you. If I could talk my husband into it I'd still do it. Be careful and safe.
Love watching you on your travels please stay safe with all the madness that’s going on at the moment ❤❤❤❤
This is crazy unsafe for a woman Nomi!
💯
I have to disagree. There are thousands upon thousands of women stealth camping throughout the United States tonight. Nomi is a smart lady. I am sure she is cautious and keeps her safety education current.
@@ltvanburen8555 It is risky behavior. There is no denying that this fact.
Nomi you made me yawn twice when you yawned lol I love your "own little cave in your own little cove"🥰Stay safe out there! Love and prayers from Michigan. Oh and I missed your peace sign at the end of your vid because I say it along with you! ❤✌🙏
Won’t the smell of food cooking give you away? And what about the moisture generated when you are closed up?
I was thinking the same thing!
Good morning Nomi, hope that you are having a great day. Good luck on your new adventures. Praying for your safety.
Speaking of guy relieving himself,,,,how do u go to bathroom? I’m up at least 3 times at night to go lol
I'm wondering the same thing
Good question
I know how. Duh 🙄
She probably just goes inside a place she's parked or she uses a bottle and a funnel. 😂 she was in the military so I'm sure she's used to it.
She mentioned some kind of portable potty. Same! I have OAB so I would need several to get thru the night. 😂
Hi Nomi, you probably get tired of so many ppl giving you suggestions...I can only imagine! That said... I'm about to leave you a suggestion, Lol! Please forgive me! But think it might be a good one to help w your stealth. I noticed that the windows on your stealthmobile don't have rain guards. If you put rain guards on, no one can see your cracked windows, and it's not as easy for someone to try to break in through the cracked window (with something, a wire coat hanger etc, to try to pop the locks open from tbe inside) I put them on my little SUV and it works like a charm with hiding my cracked windows.Bought a set from Amazon. Happy and safe travels. Best to you, T
The window covering would cover the window then…not sure if that would give much airflow though.
@@judymurray191 rain guards don't cover the windows...just a little visor like peice that jutts out and over around the top edge of each window
Agree! I don't like eating out. Food is so much better when l cook it myself
