For fire safety, please line the area behind the butane cooker with a fire resistant (safe) material. I think that foil/plastic/foam insulation would go up in a second. Also, make sure to ventilate well. (No expert, just concerned for your safety. And I know you’ve been doing this a while but…)
Newly Updated Safety Suggestions: for Campers, Explorers, Travelers, I just happened to see your channel, and others similar channels recently, and I think that you, and others sharing their actual reality, and some have expressed some of the up, and down sides to van, RV, or vehicle living. Although, I just noticed your UA-cam channel, and other similar channels, displaying van living. I just wanted to remind everyone to Aware Be of your surroundings and Alert, I just posted this anyway to help anyone who may benefit from these suggestions I believe that it is very helpful, and beneficial to others who may be thinking about this type of living without actually thinking through, about the some of the realistic problems that could occur with vehicle or van living etc... People need to know what up sides there are, as well as some of the down sides of vehicle living. I believe this channel, and other channels have been informative to others, including myself.

Although, you may have knowledge of this already, I am not sure, so I hope this will be helpful to you, others or someone. *Keep a Extra working cellphone with you or in your vehicle.

This is a R E T A R D who will approach a person in a van and "tell them what they should do" and if they are anything like me, call the police immediately.
Wow, you have put a lot of thought into this lifestyle. Thank you very much for all of your suggestions. Some ideas I already have and others I am saving up to get. It sounds like you really care, and I appreciate it. Thank you also for sharing my videos.
Jason, both in Michigan and my current location out West, it's FAR safer to live in a vehicle than in sticks and bricks. That domicle with four walls is an imaginary safe place to live (look at the statistics regarding home invasions) and you are incapable of controlling who lives in your neighborhood. If a vehicle dweller has a problem neighbor, they turn the key and drive away. I appreciate your concern and the thought you've obviously spent on the subject, but your concern looks more like fear. Except for possibly some early jitters, it's unusual to encounter a vehicle dweller or RVer who doesn't want to do this forever, even if they would make some changes (different rig, etc.). Those changes are also far simpler in a vehicle. If you want to move out of a residential unit (house, apartment, condo), it takes considerable time, planning, and expense. A vehicle dweller gets gas. Seriously, it's so amazing that you really should try it, if only for a weekend camping trip. Michigan has something like 93 (if I remember correctly) state parks so there's an excellent chance that you live near one. You can either throw your sleeping bag in the back of your vehicle or even take a tent with you. It doesn't matter; spend some time in nature (talk to a Ranger if you have any concerns) discovering what you've been missing.

Yes, I thought I might as well. I'm glad it worked out because if it didn't I would have put up the video anyway and we would have seen my go to meal of carrots and hummus. Lol
@@Reyglondrina I have found it very easy to live without a fridge. I get small portions and dont keep food long. I have purchased a cooler but its mostly for berries. Berries rot very easily in this heat.
You must think we are stupid. 1. You DO NOT need to show anyone a cooking video. 2. You cannot even turnaround 3. Salads are cheap 4. There is no way you can wash your arse in a vehicle... ABSOLUTELY NO WAY
Thanks for commenting. I'm sorry my content isn't for you. Salads are 6.99 here and are good for 1meal. The rice package is 1 dollar and the other package is about 4.99. So for 5.99 I get 2 meals. And as for my stinky arse, I can clean it in my van, I try very hard to keep things clean because I know the stench of poverty and I am choosing to live this way, not being forced to.
Enjoy your food. I’m going to try the chickpeas you are having. I think you can buy a flat cookie sheet aluminum or stainless steel to put behind your stove. Maybe 2. One underneath and behind. For safety. Be safe and comfortable. Take care of your self.
