Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 жов 2020
- I have been full-time living and adventuring in my Prius since the Winter of 2019/2020 & now, I am picking up on Mom in New England to join me, living in my car! This isn't where my travels began though, I have been traveling full time, and even working as an international tour guide since 2015! So I am taking her to all my favorite spots in the USA! In this video I share, all the essentials and non-essentials, of: how I pack my car for one & all the add ins, preparing for two people! I also share some tips and favorite products to help you prepare for an EPIC ROAD TRIP, whether you do this full time like me... or just for a couple day over the weekend!

Finally got around to editing the adventure that came after this packing extravaganza! Two girls living in one Prius - The Adventure! (ep 1 of 2) ua-cam.com/video/XjqTqPC2Pco/v-deo.html
I have to ask, where is your personal protection? A young woman, on her own, in America in these times would prudently pack protection. Also, have you ever had your car weighed with, and without all the stuff? With the weight of the Prius battery and your "stuff" I would be concerned. The load rating is only 845-860 pounds. Just curious. That includes passengers and items. That would leave only about 600 pounds for all your stuff.

Repent , the kingdom of God is at hand , read your bible for yourself, and pray , there is nothing our there in the world ,ask God to guideguide and protect you ,if you have any question please ask me. ,.
Hey Nikki what brand are the boots you’re looking for. I always find stuff lol
Where does the dam 50 inch tv and ps5 go?
If she ever forgets where anything is .... she can refer back to this vid 😁
I would take pictures of everything showing where it’s packed.
That's right! :-)
🤣
Over kill with all that stuff What happens when it rains for days on end ? GOOD LUCK
Claro tiene razon
By the way... Thnx for mentioning the pick up your trash b4 you leave so it doesnt reflect other vehicle dwellers...
It’s soooo needed. So many LNT ethics that people don’t even know exist or have an impact on others and the environment!
Your organization skills just made a Prius look like an F-150
I think you put more stuff in your car than I have in my whole apartment :D
This year the wife and I put 4000 miles car camping in a 2016 Ford Fiesta 😬 one of the best years of our 30 years vacationing together🤗
What an amazing trip to share together! Road trips are my favorite!!!!
I appreciate the simplicity of this "car life". No fancy custom vehicle needed. And there's even space for books and bikes 🙂 love it!
Her enthusiasm , energy and organisation skills shows how much she enjoys the travel with all the necessary comforts ..especially since this trip is for for her mom . As a fellow travel enthusiast..there is some thing to learn here .
She likes cycling, camping, has a paddle board too. Who'd have thought a Prius was that roomy.
The whole point of this travel phenomenon is enjoying yourselves. And in her prepping for the journey and recording it and the altruistic goal of giving back to her mom. She is truly enjoying this one-in-a-lifetime experience. Go daughter! :)
🥰🥰🥰 I honestly was just so excited to share it with her!!! Thanks for connecting this made me so happy! :-)))))
@@NikkiDelventhal am saving this for one of my daughters, hint, hint..........
The real point of this is that thousands are doing this by necessity and making the best of it. It's a real testimony to people's ingenuity they can pull this off while having most of their shelter needs via a possession they already have. If you can install an inverter in your hybrid car, you can have cooking, lights, wifi, water pump, refrigeration, and device charging thanks to the hybrid battery and how the engine automatically tops it up. I think you can do this with other hybrid vehicles but don't quote me on it. I think I slightly larger vehicle would be more comfortable. I love my Prius and am going to try to get the inverter put in so I can provide backup power to my home in case of power outages, which is probably cheaper than purchasing a generator or solar backup system. The more videos you watch on this, the better your planning of your own system will be. There are some incredibly ingenious people out there willing to share their ideas. You just have to hunt them down.
@@NikkiDelventhal ☝Nice Tush lady, 😉.
Great 💘
Whoever was on camera duty did a great job 👍
Go mom!!!! 😜
I agree
Mom should get a part time job doing camera work with NBC
I came to the comments to say the same thing! 😁
Where's Camper?
it's really like living on a boat every nook and cranny has a purpose
I love how your mom is willing to go with you for an adventure. I know about living out of my car. We all find what works for us.
Your organizational skills are off the charts.
I agree
Wow. No-really wow. You my dear have a ton of positive energy. What an inspiration.
Wow, thank you, for the compliment and taking the time to comment! 🥰
Your Mom is so lucky to have a daughter taking her on an adventure. I love it when my daughter and I take road trips.
I've been on a few trips with my 34 year old daughter, honestly the memories of these fun adventures will last a lifetime!
Wow! My grandmother gave me her Prius before she passed away last year and I'm loving your storage ideas. Thanks for the inspiration.
I got my Prius from my Grandmother
Amazing amount of stuff and so organized. I have been traveling a little over 2 years with my little dog Tinkerbell in my 25 foot class A motorhome filming and living my dream after beating kidney cancer. I've traveled through 9 states and gone 30000 miles. I am amazed at you guys traveling in such a small space!
You are AMAZING!!! I just rescued a pup for year two!☺️ We move so fast tho 😂🤦🏻♀️ 80k miles in just a year!!!!
Congratulations 🎈 on you beating cancer that’s 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Thule and Toyota owe you for this one! Ought to be featured in a commercial for both! Sold!
Hey Toyota, I’m ready for a new Prius sponsorship 😂😂😂
Sweet 😃

If you don't mind your car being used as a driving billboard, Some companies will pay you $500 a month
NewZealandAmerican I actually looked at this because I really don’t care about looks of my car but couldn’t find anything that wasn’t advertising wanting to be in one area. As I move across the country constantly! Any suggestions?
Good idea! She could be a product influencer.
It's amazing what your attitude can do to help your situation. I guarantee you there is someone else living in their Prius and making a "woe is me" video about how the world sucks for them. Of course it helps being young, healthy and beautiful. The world is your oyster.
We used to take road trips from TX to CA in an 85 VW Cabriolet. With myself, mom and two sisters. My little sis was still small enough to sleep on the floorboard in back and we’d lean the seats back over her and older sis in the back seat. We never got a hotel room and would shower at state parks for free when we told the gate we were “just going to look around”. Not the most ethical but we didn’t have much and it taught me to be resourceful.
Wow in general she is soooo interesting! Hair stylist, nature enthusiast, adventurer, former Jets cheerleader. Just wow. I love her little build and organization. I'm totally subscribing!
🥰🥰🥰 thank you!!!!!
Thank you for inspiration to organize my car because son and I homeless at end of December
Stay strong brother
CheapRVliving
I've been in my car 4 and half years. It's not easy sometimes but I take it day by day. Can't afford rent too expensive here in California
Do you have any plans to prevent going homeless? The difference from homeless and nomad is the nomad wants to live in a mobile vehicle. Its the best thing I ever did!
ditto for so many now, and the lucky ones have a car and legal license. Sad days, my son is out there with no car now, in winter, east coast, cannot stay with me, I am not the home owner, lord help so many.........
Your so insanely organized and detailed oriented I know you would do amazing hair cuts.
All of your videos are so inspiring! Once my youngest graduates HS (4 yrs), I’m aspiring to live / travel this way! Thank you for all of your knowledgeable videos and tips!
Girl you’re making me wanna live in my car now! Thanks for these great tips!💖
I love living in my car. Living here in the Bay Area it saves 3K a month on rent.
I am amazed at how much stuff you got in the Prius. Imagine how much you can fit in a Mercedes sprinter van. Safe travels🙌
A true Queen of the road! I have never seen such a brave young lady...then to extend the adventure and have your Queen mom there is brilliant! This is an amazing channel and life you're blessing us with sharing. Be safe, stay healthy and keep living free Queen.
Sister, i am IMPRESSED! You have done an amazing job with this car build!
Thank you so much! Worked pretty hard on it, means a lot! =)
Randomly stumbled across this video and found it so satisfying to watch someone else who likes organising and having a place for everything. Great work!!
ABSOLUTELY WILD THIS IS SO COOL!! I saw your post on Reddit and I had to see what you did here, first off can't believe how much you actually fit in there! like GEEZE, secondly just wow this is an inspiration! thank you so much for posting!
I can’t believe it either! Thanks for the kind words, totally made my day!
Wonderful! Thanks for the tips. I'm gonna leave your channel on constant play for a while, while I go out, so it makes you more money :)
Bear Spray is something every girl should have. It works. I happen to know.
We would love to hear the story!
I love this idea of living out in restricted space but at the same time exploring life outside in the wild.
artificial face though
Amazing organization! Thanks for the tour and tips!
Please fit all of this into the Autozam AZ-1.
Go home, sleep in your bed, pleasssss.
This young lady is so beautiful and so full of life....there is just no dramas in her life!!!
I love this because whenever I watch these videos I feel like people are always underpacking and scared. This may seem like a lot to aspiring minimalists but I wouldn't feel safe and prepared without all the things either! It's nice to see someone bringing all the stuff they want with them :D
HAH thank you! I did this as it was for 2 of us. But I definitely have a good balance when its just Camper and I (my dog I rescued half way thought this mom daughter trip) - I will do a video on that too soon!
I can't believe how much stuff you got in there! And so organized too.
I almost couldn’t believe it either! Hehehe
It was very organized! I have to admit I almost started thinking this might be just a joke about how many things she needed to take with her! But nice video, very engaging, well-edited. Usually I can't stay with a video 25 minutes, but this was interesting all the way through.
Trish Beason haha I still can’t believe how much we fit! But now that it’s just me and my puppy things are a little different haha! Going to put up that tour soon too !!!
@@NikkiDelventhal hey I had this same exact car..and I just wanted to see if you knew about the secret compartment underneath the center console that pulls out..like a drawer...if u knew then sweet .if you didn't now you have even more storage lol!!!!!...and I know how much you can fit in that car .I used it to move and I was amazed how many boxes I can make fit in that thing!! :)
@@NikkiDelventhal there is a drawer like compartment underneath the console where you rest your right elbow when you drive..not talking about the space when you lift up the center storage space but it's actually underneath that....you can look where you pull it out with a flashlight if your looking for it
Very creative way to pack! I lived in a Sonata for a few months traveling around the southwest and had SO much space. I always wondered what the smallest vehicle one could live in would be. Now you've answered this question by showing your lifestyle in a Prius :)
Seeing your videos I always wondered why you had so much patient. I get it now, cheering for the Jets takes a LOT of patience. Thanks foe sharing.
Hahaha! And, working with kids. Legendary patience builders. 😂
Ngl just found this channel and I actually find these videos unusually thought provoking. She seems like the most intelligent, articulate, likeable, and accomplished person, way more than most people with high-end jobs and houses. Like you can tell she could do anything she put her mind to, and the fact that she chooses to live this lifestyle - and seems unusually happy - really makes you think. Clearly a *really* talented individual, and has dispelled any sorts of preconceptions / stereotypes I had about people with unconventional lifestyles... Keep going and being such a nice and cool person!
Thank you so much for your kind words and reflections! Love this. So much.
Boy you got everything stuffed in that little Prius with 2 people.....amazing
At the end of the trip we added a rescue puppy too! It was quite the Prius pile up! Hahah
amazing organization Nikki, wow! Great job!
love to see moms enjoying. Take Care Always
This is so precious. I love your bond with your mom. She seems just as precious as you are. This gave me some joy this morning. Stay safe out there little lady
I have never seen that much stuff in a car. Never. Good packing
Half of USA will be in cars soon
Thanks! And I’ll be here to show those people why its great!:-)
True that. Just not for the right reason.
@@jessesmith8388 a lot of social security and most of the disabilty are doing this, can't afford the 1200 rents on the coasts and cities.
young people and single parents are figuring it out as well, but now? it is illegal in every state.
People put that much in their car all the time to move house
Lived in a backpack riding a snowmobile for 2 winters. Enjoyed every minute of it :)
super helpful! thanks for this. What you have done is applicable no matter what kind of home you have!
Oh my gosh I’m so excited for the mother daughter trip😍 you are so beautiful and strong and brave and adventurous. I’m living vicariously through you 💃
So cool, backpacks are an awesome way to travel because you can literally have all your stuff organized in them and if you want to do a backpacking jaunt you can just park your car put on the pack and off you go. We camped in nearly ever national park on year doing so, campsites were taken but "back country" camping was pretty available. As you said being organized is crucial.
Incredible organizing and packing skills! Wow!
Thanks!:-)
I love that you did this for your mom, Nikki. So sweet and I love the relationship you have with her! ❤❤❤
You have a great postive attitude and made me laugh also. It's great to see you enjoying life and showing a great smile while doing so.
First time seeing your channel I’m loving it you’re awesome
Tip - add whistle to your hiking box if you don’t have one 🥰
Looking forward to binge watching your channel tonight
Nikki, this is so awesome!!! I’ve been playing with the thought of getting a trailer and do the same
Oh you must keep me updated!
sweet, adorable, smart. All done with such a vision, no space and lots of space, great job, congrats
There is something so satisfying about packing everything you need for a journey and heading out. I drive a lot out of state to visit my parents and I used to stop at hotels and eat out. Since COVID, I quit making stops and now pack everything. Food, bedding, shower supplies (if it’s warm enough) I love it, and I cut hours off my trips.
Take notes, people. A lot more of us are going to be living like this soon. I’m totally fine with it. System’s clearly not working
Very true even with my disability chk of 780 it was so stressful
I'm thinking of not buying or renting anymore instead ill buy an x5 bmw and live in it in style for a while 🤣
That's true if Biden ends up winning.hes gonna jack up taxes
She amazing 😻
Lol. Americans unlike others are resilient, we get fed up enough, we’ll stick it to big gov lol. It’s a matter of time.
Great video as usual 🥰 Nikki
Love every second of it 🙌
I admire your commitment. I bought a condo almost two months ago, and still organizing because I refuse to throw stuff away.
wow , and damn. you did that thing. prius, Heck I have a honda pilot and I worry about loading it. You showed me some things today. Wow. again. I love to learn new things. Thank you.
Amazing 🤩! You are so brave 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👏👏👏👏
Wow thank you we are living in our car and so grateful to see hope from people and upbeat tips of kindness and happiness thank you 🙏
Thanks for sharing your video. Very helpful when people decided to travel. 👍😊
Thank you for sharing your story and the inspiration to live your life now! I've been pondering why we get stuck in the rat race of piling up cash for when/if you get to retire when you are older and not as agile! Seriously going to look into lifestyle changes. Best wishes to you and Camper!
I love that idea, i want to do caravan or camper something useful and not expensive
I can see why you love your Prius. it is amazing how much stuff you have pack in it. You organize very well. The toughest part is trying to remember where everything is at
Thank you!!
I would take pictures of everything and where it’s packed.
Camper is such a sweetheart! Glad he was found by you!!
I loved the video! Your relationship with your mom reminds me of the one I have with my mom! We’re super close and very similar if I ever could get a van it would be fun! I also love you mentioned the leave no trace ethics I end up doing that too but I think it’s important you make a note of it cause a lot of people don’t clean up after themselves whatsoever so good on you :D
She's got more stuff in her car than I have in my permanent apartment!
😂😂😂
Thank you for your channel and sharing your travels. Thanks for bedsheets clippers! Great idea! Buying them asap. Thanks for all younand camper do!❤❤
Nikki,
Wonderful Video,
That is great that you are spending this Amazing time with your mom.
Great organizational skills.
Have a wonderful trip!👍
Much love to everyone
Holy cow!!! Thats a lot of stuff!!!
Ugh, prius magic! This is great, so inspiring
Thank God for people like you you made me want to live again thank you from all my heart love your videos
Taking notes... my wonderful 2009 Prius💖💕💖
I love how you said "every centimeter counts" instead of "every inch counts" lol
Haha every millimeter counts at this point 😂😂😂
The vast majority of people on earth measure with the metric system, you know, Christine !
Tamara Messenger haha I know :-P
She means, however, that every 'CUBIC' centimeter counts. LxWxH= cube. I think she's the master of 'every centimeter counts'---W O W!
@@TamaraMessenger ... this is America ... we do things the hard way ...
YOU BRING EVERYTHING AND THE KITCHEN SINK. AMAZING.
I did watch this like the future depends on it. Love to see how you would pack a large van. Always wondered what happens to former Bachelor contestants. You certainly could work organizing other people. Mom was a terrific camera operator.
HAHA thank you!!!!!
Here i am trying to organize half of what you have in a van 😆
Awesome Job ! Really inspired me Thank you !
Hahah!! Thanks for connecting! What kind of van are you sporting?
@@NikkiDelventhal
2019
Dodge Caravan. My seats are in the stowaway.
I wapnt it to look like those sprinters. 😆
I will just have to settle. But if i could pack like you. I might could make something work. 😊
I live vicariously through you young kids. I wish I would have done this years ago. I wanted to tell you that the Dollar Tree carries almond milk vanilla on the shelf. It does not have to be refrigerated until you open it just in case you would want to stock up. God Bless you for loving your mom so much to make sure she has all she has. My 4 kids estranged me 8 yrs ago.
Yes, gotta love that shelf almond milk! I use so much I usually have 3 in my car at all times (to have less restock days hehe) Thank so much for watching and connecting. All the best to you.
You still can. I started at 62 and still learning and still loving living in my 2014 Toyota RAV4. Low cost and WOW what sites I have seen.
Mom is a trooper!
That's wax amazing. Thank you. Got lots of ideas. Have a great time
Hey there ,
I’m so impressed on how much you fit in your car 🚗 I’m blown away!
Fantastic enjoy your adventures !!
Thanks so much!
@@NikkiDelventhal Most welcome 😃
I always use to say to my wife....that she carries the entire home in her baggage during vacation....and now I find there are more like her...😀😀
Just have to say you are such a happy person, always seem to be smilleing even more so when your best buddy found you yes camper i do quite enjoy watching your video,s im from the UK so its nice to see you exploring the USA and allow us to follow you.
Thanks for the inspiring videos! Thanks for answering my question. I love Camper !
This looks amazing, so well organized. New sub from the opposite side of the globe.🤗🤗
Yay! Thank you!
I’ve been living in my car the last couple months and you’re right, you really have to be organized! My first week I was constantly losing things it’s getting better now, but doesn’t look as neat as your setup yet.
SOOO organized! Or you’ll drive yourself mad!😂
You gotta be a serious minimalist to live in your car full time. A year and a half for me and I'm so sick of it. California has not let me get back on my feet.
@@michaelsasylum and California will not either. Should find a state that's more accommodating.i know.. in the middle of killer pandemic.. what other options are there ? Can't afford to live in CALIFORNIA OR NEW YORK .
Having road tripped with my parents and kid sister in full sized and minivans from the time we were just young’uns up until Mom was too disabled to travel a few years back....... I’m impressed with how much you fit in that little car!
Wow! What an awesome mom and daughter out experience together with your Prius. Godspeed
omg you two are so cute. goals!
🥰🙏🏻
I noticed your beautiful hair and smile! I guess that's what all old dogs do. Haha.
Great vid, thx for posting.
🥰🙏🏻 Thanks!
Impressive - great job packing the car and hope y’all had a fab time together!
Incredible! You do some really good detailed videos. Thank You!
Thank you!!!!
Thanks for the car camping tips, planning to do this soon in my Tesla Model S for my ultramarathon events next year. Subscribed.
Anytime! :-) Multiple Utlras!! You badass!
we have been doing this pre-covid with model 3, we are using a rooftoptent (I-kamper sleeps two) and our 12y/o son sleeps inside the car with dreamcase mattress.
Wow! You pack a lot of stuff into that little car!😂😅
Impressive and inspirational!!! Thank you so much!
Perfectly cozy and very helpful 🙏Thank you and happy new year 🍀❤️
