I'm glad you brought up where people are most likely to be assaulted or killed. I mention it everytime I can: the monsters don't lurk in the shadows, they're your romantic partners, family, friends, coworkers, teachers, etc. If you're worried about safety, start with analyzing your home and your workplace and the relationships you form there.
I live my mini van. Low maintenance good gas mileage. 2 inch lift kit. 800 bed system. Your so right bed is number one thing to put on list then build around that. I love your car set up. Very organized and that there is 🗝️
Thank you for sharing such a positive video. I hope to be travelling and living out of my car soon too. I loved how you were realistic enough to admit there are negative issues and sometimes we have to accept that they go along with the freedom we have. However, on a day to day basis, you have managed to come up with workable alternatives or work arounds that mean you can continue to enjoy the positives. You go girl. Enjoy life to the full.
Hi there! Thanks so much! And congrats to you about your upcoming journey in your car. Even with the negative things, I've had the experience of a lifetime in the car. And sometimes things are really hard! Like right now, the heat at the height of summer threw me for a loop cause it wasn't this hard for me last year in the summer. But even so, I'm grateful for the lifestyle. Blessings to you on your travels! :-)
Your video is lots of fun to watch. I do eyelash extensions professionally and we use a device that turns water into a mist. My clients love it and say it's refreshing. This might be better than a spray bottle for keeping you cool without getting you too wet and encouraging mold and using up a lot of water.
I'm a full-time van lifer, from upstate NY now in Arizona! I purposely bought my 2019 Dodge caravan SXT, specifically for good gas mileage, 28 mpg. and plenty of room for my dog and myself to live in! I give so much props to people that live in a cars! I really don't think I could in that small of a space! In this life, less is better, and simplicity is key! What app do you use for the beautiful places you find?... Rock on and safe travels my friend!👍🚙
Thanks for watching and for your comment! :-) Wow! 28 MPG in a van! I googled that van AND it looks stealthy! Win-win! That's awesome you travel with a dog. I search for most of my locations on freecampsites.net. It's a webpage, and doesn't have an app, but I found it to have the most user friendly interface. What do you use? Safe travels to you as well! :-)
@@autumnandchloe Thank you! Yes, it's stealthy, and I've been through many off roads with it believe it or not! I just go slow and easy! I use ioverlander app. It's great!...
Seeking freedom is not being irresponsible - in fact - it is probably one of the most "responsible" things you can do! We can't all live out of a car - or - even want to - but - when seeking something you want or desire to be in this life - we need to be honest and recognize that, far too often, our largest obstacle is "ourselves". I sincerely believe, that if we would just get out of our own way then the journey and results would be a lot better. Chew up energy on the tasks rather than preventing yourself from doing them!
Thank you Steve, I value what you shared here, words of wisdom indeed. Very powerful to get out of our own way... I often share with folks that I've wanted to live this lifestyle for 21 years before embarking... and the thing that held me back was lacking bravery to do something so "extreme" or "alternative." However, this past year has been the best of my life so far, and I'm grateful everyday I took the plunge. Thank you for your comments! :-)
@@autumnandchloe - it truly is amazing when you finally realize how difficult "WE" make life's simplest things. We really do sincerely get in our own way. It took me forever to realize that Mark Twain was bang-on when he said "Worrying is like paying a debt you don't owe".
@@BoomerBlogging What a great Mark Twain quote! Another one of his that I love is, "I've lived through some terrible things in my life, some of which actually happened." What you're sharing about getting out of our own way... very empowering.
I agree. I had to get a divorce in order to live the life I wanted, because I could never be myself while being married. I compromised myself and what I wanted out of life so much that I barely recognized myself. It was always about the other person and what they wanted with me. It was not an easy thing to do, but I thought about how I only have this one life. And then I thought am I going to just watch it go by, being a woman in a free country, in a time in history when I can actually have the freedom to do what I want and live my own life, IF I get out of my OWN way? No. No, I am not. So, I made hard choices, and I have never been happier in my entire life. I am so grateful to myself and for this opportunity before it's too late, and I feel like I actually HAVE a life now. A life of my own. Even if I only got to have a life of my own for six months and then it was gone, it would still have been SO worth it! Before, I felt as if I had a winning lottery ticket in my hand, that so many women around the world even in this day and age would absolutely love to have, and I was just throwing it away to live someone else's version of life until I die that I could care less about doing. So, it's wonderful to see other women being single and doing their thing and not even afraid to tell everyone about it. Keep on sharing!
You can place a wet towel over yourself. This will help in very hot weather. Having a fan blow air over you cools you more. A cool washcloth on your neck helps. A neck fan did not cool me. God bless you with his protective hands and guide you on your path as you move forward on your wonderful journey. May He grant you courage and strength and peace. Marie from S C
Thank you Marie, I will plan to use the wet towel idea once the weather heats up again. And, thank you so much for that blessing. I was moved by that. :-)
Another way that you can cool off.... I have lots of pillows on my bed - one for my feet. On hot nights (when I didn't have a/c) I would spray my foot pillow with water. It worked really well. If you use a towel instead of a pillow, I would suggest putting a pillowcase on it.
I camp in my Prius and use a jet boil to heat my water. Brings 2 cups to a boil in 60-90 seconds! I know it would take a few batches for those large thermoses but it would still be way less than 30 minutes. Probably more like 10. They are pricey but fast. I bought mine at a local retailer during their annual sale. (Summit Hut in Tucson)
Hi there! Thanks for watching and for sharing about the Jet Boil. I've been curious about those and they seem to save space as well. It sounds like that might be a great solution. :-)
Hi Autumn. Everything that you covered was very interesting. One of these days, I will be inspired to leave my cave and see the sun again..... thank you for sharing. Cheers
@Sacred Southwest Hi Autumn. Hope all is well. My cave is not really a cave, but a metaphor. I used to travel quite a bit for work and pleasure. I am considering the idea of purchasing a campervan or RV and leaving my "cave" from time to time. I need to stop considering it and just do it. 😆 I am going to watch your other videos now... see you at the other video.
@@popspops3795 Gotcha, I figured, lol... but you never know. I bet if we UA-cam searched, "man lives in cave," there would probably be a lot of videos. (Okay, just did this. Yep! Lots of videos. :-) ) Thanks for watching!
@Sacred Southwest I frequently research a variety of topics of my interests and find an enormous amount of UA-cam videos that surprise me. Stay safe, stay healthy, and stay happy 😊
For storage solutions, there are quite a few small stainless steel options online. Weathertech that makes mats for vehicles, also makes shades specific to the make/model of your car. Love your truth. You keep it real. 😊
Apartments are 2-3k here. I rent a small room and don’t have to pay any other bills besides my phone. I currently can’t drive otherwise I’d do what you do. My landlord/ roommate doesn’t understand why I never have to work, you really do have much more time
That's awesome that you've found a way to give yourself more time! I believe that time is the most valuable thing we have in this life. Thanks for watching! :-)
Thanks for another excellent video. I bought a 12v electric blanket from Walmart (in the auto parts section), for $25. It uses very little battery power and feels amazing when it is close to 0°.
Thank you Abbey! I initially tried an electric blanket that took so much from my power station, but it wasn't a 12V. I'm going to give a 12V a try. I appreciate your comment! :-)
That’s my Hangul. I’m in Utah and want to live out of my car. But here’s my problem. I have a power inverter, two batteries and a 350 amp alternator. Even hooking up a battery charger the space heater still will knock the power inverter voltage down to under 11 volts after 30 minutes. I decided to renew my lease that gives me more time to find a winter weather solution
Hi Brian, thank you for your comment. Winter is tough in this lifestyle. I'm considering taking a seasonal job, or renting a small apartment during winter next year. Lol... perhaps by then I will have found better solutions. Sounds like you are planning for nomad life as well? Best wishes to you!
I love the joy and peace you have making this video! Thanks so much I’m excited to start my journey soon, and this was great advice! Many blessings and peace to your heart and mind! Thanks 💜
Hi there, thanks for watching and for your kind and encouraging comment! It sounds like you have a similar journey ahead! Whoo hoo! Blessings to you on your travels! :-)
You inspire me so much!!! I have cried, cussed & QUIT so many times!!!!! I live in Florida & the humidity is unholy!!Its so hard to organize in heat & humidity!!!!But I’m gonna keep a going until I have the beautiful feminine decor that you have!! The flowers, the lights, the fabric patterns ❤❤❤❤
Hi there, thank you for your kind comment. I imagine the humidity is tough! I'm still blown away at how hard climate control has been. I hope it cools down soon for ya and blessings to you on your journey! :-)
Hi I’m new to your channel and I’m really getting a lot of new information from you! So thank you first and foremost, and I’m greatfull to you for the way you speak to all of us… Anyhow, I’m in my car - it’s the same car you have randomly - I find it so HARD EVERYTHING IS JUST SO HARD FOR ME! I am a 50something year old gay man who’s never camped in my life so I bought stuff to / for camping but I haven’t used any of them.. oy’ I’ve driven from my old home area in San Diego to Canada and tried to go to new place but I’m lonely and I don’t do well trapped in my head… all I do is get angry at myself and at the person who forced me into this life. I just wanted to reach out to you and say that I’m watching and learning from you and I’m listening to you! Thank you so very much for your insight and your yeah all of it I’m really learning a lot… You’re so sweet and kind I wish that we could meet up at some point so you can teach me some skills that I need to know. Cheers
Hi Dug, I'm grateful to hear that you're getting information from the channel. I appreciate your comment. I hope that your experience in your car feels smoother over time. I found that it took me several months to get into a rhythm and flow of things, and I still change things up often after 10 months to help with ease of life. What are some of the things that you are finding most challenging at this time?
Hi and thank you with all my heart for your support help and most of all your kindness! I can’t tell you what much it means to me that a person who I don’t know has take time out of your busy schedule to send me a kind note… You asked me what are my challenges as of today.. well one big one is using the bathroom!! You see I’m disabled and it’s a huge issue for me if and let’s say that I go to ask nicely for the key to the bathroom and I know it’s working but the owner of the gas station said it’s out of order and you can’t hold it anymore and ( yeah you have a situation and no where to shower so you have to deal with it) it’s a huge issue and it’s not fun at all, Or when I need something and it’s on the bottom of a few bags then everything falls over and out of the bags and you become a Disaster Zone and everything is unorganized all over again m. I’m having trouble letting go of my clothes and shoes because they are all I have left of a once very nice life until I let that happen into my life and he destroyed everything and everyone that I had. So I know I would have more room in here if I got rid of those things it’s just very hard for me to let go! I’m struggling with this thought of I can live in my car - nope I can’t I I need to find a place to live… living like this isn’t less expensive than being in an apartment and people think I have it made because I don’t have rent to pay … but living in the San Diego area is very expensive regardless.. also I don’t have a rue teen down and I’ve been in my car since the end of September.., O’ one last thing is being messed with in the middle of the night by strange people looking in your car and you’re trying to sleep or they will hit slap or yell at you and to your car to scare me and I have major trauma from what that person has done to me. So I get major anxiety and panic attacks Well thank you for letting me say all that I hop to see another note from you again soon… Take care and be safe Douglas
@@dughiggs Hi Dug, I hear you on all of these things. When I am in California, I find myself feeling anger about the lack of public bathroom access - it seems uncivilized. I've felt this way for a long time... long before I became a nomad. And, I too found it to be challenging to find order and organization... I pretty much live like an extreme minimalist, and I've found that even living with so little, in such a tiny space, the car can feel cluttered. Your situation sounds like it came about from a big loss. That is hard, I am sorry for your loss. I've spent several months in and out of CA as a nomad, and I'll be honest, it's not a place I plan to spend time unless I have a pet/house sitting gig. The state is not friendly to the nomadic lifestyle and everything is extremely expensive. The one and only time I've been concerned about a safety issue was in California. The natural beauty is wonderful, but I've found the ease of life to be lacking. Are you able to set up a homebase in a different location?
@@autumnandchloe Sorry it is so challenging for you, Dug. I sincerely hope things get better! I was wondering about CA not being great for nomads - is this because the weather in San Diego is so perfect, that everyone who is homeless would want to live there to avoid freezing or burning up, so they are just frustrated with too many car dwellers? I don't know...I have never been there in my life. But I would like to go to the parks in CA for sure. Just guessing they may be less friendly if there were a lot more people because of the weather. I mean, you don't hear as much about people in cold weather states being super frustrated with all the nomads like you do in southern climates. Just because people are homeless, doesn't mean they are stupid. They are going to hang out where it's warm, and this can make it challenging for those cities as they have more than their share of people to try and provide services for. Especially of those services are already expensive. Just a thought.
I learned this while living in a very old rickety moble home ( temporarily) on a very hot summer with no air conditioning. Soak a towel put it over yourself across your shoulders over your head depending on your need . Sitting in the shade or a breeze or in front of a fan; will keep you cool . Infacy be carefull you may get cold . The drawback in this method while traveling is you will use more water. How do you bathe?
Thank you Maggie, this sounds like a great idea that I will try out once it's hot again. For bathing, most of the time I shower at the gym. I also shower in camp grounds (even if I don't stay in them, many allow me to use the showers for a small fee), truck stops, and friends and family's houses if I'm visiting. Sometimes I'll go many days without a shower and use a river, lake, at wet wipes during these situations. :-)
This is such a good video on the reality of "car life." I can't wait to get back in my car. I think I may give my notice on July 1st. I'm excited, scared etc. But I have to say, I think differently now since the first time I tried it. 🚗
Thanks so much! That's great that you've done it before and it sounds you're ready for another adventure! I hope it all unfolds wonderfully for you! :-)
I'm making plans to move into my prius in September and "fallow the weather " yea being a snowbird, winter down south summer up north. Prius what can I say, reliable fuel efficient rolling generator lol.😂
When you say happy😆🌊 🤣🤣🤣I hope your blankets are wool? I find that old 'vintage' are better. As for tent. Nothing beats a bell tent. The Sibley 300 ProTech by Canvascamp. It's an option depending on your circumstances & usage? You're inspiring to others😄🙂
Thanks for watching Pete! Those bell tents look amazing. In a possible future life, I want to host a glamping-hotel with a bunch of those. If I were in one place more often, this would be a great tent. I appreciate your comment. :-)
Yes. I have a friend who runs a business. ..glamping. It's not camping. Full-size bed, furniture, twinkle lights, carpet etc😄😂. ☝️Wood heater in winter🤣🤣🤣. Canvascamp is definitely in US & Canada too.
Hi autumn and Chloe Billy here enjoying another one of your videos. I haven’t done much camping by Flagstaff I mostly go to the rim anyway I have one of those pop-up privacy tents and your video showed me how to fold and get it back in the bag THANK YOU :) By the way, have you checked out the lava tube by Flagstaff it’s on my list of things to do when I head that way, it says to bring at least three types of light in case you get a failure. The average temperature in there year around is I believe 35° maybe you can make a video of that
I'm so glad the video helped with the privacy tent - I love those things. The lava tubes are incredible! I haven't been for many years but next time I go I'll take your suggestion and film there. Thanks for watching! :-)
Hi Divina! Thanks for watching. :-) Here is a link to the usb fan: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07RZC56WX/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Hi Patricia, thanks for watching. I hear you on that desiring freedom and peace. There are certainly challenges in this life, but for me, they are absolutely the freedom and peace I feel living this way. Are you thinking of vehicle dwelling?
Great info! Wouldn't your neck hurt in your standing desk position? Since I have huge neck issues, I need to support my neck and not tip it down and/or forward. Your real-life info makes your channel a favorite.
Hi there, thanks so much! :-) I think you're right... had I kept that particular set up long enough, it likely would have hurt my neck. Ergonomic issues while working were some of the primary reasons I upgraded to an RV.
Thank you! I tried one initially, took lots of power. But it wasn't a 12V. I recently was recommended a 12V one to save power. I'm going to give that a try. Do you recommend one in particular?
Hi there, yes, I had one initially with too high of a wattage and it zapped my limited power significantly. However, I know they may smaller ones that could work out well. Thanks for watching!
Your have very good wisdom and good spirit! Your my new idol. Im gonna transition as a travel nurse soon. I plan to live in my car and try this lifestyle in my first contract not because of financial reason but because I really want to experience it. I wish to be as brave and smart as you.
Thanks for watching and for your encouraging comment! What an awesome experience you have ahead of you! :-) And travel nurses are so needed! Thank you for what you do!
Can you get auto starter. You car comes with ac heat. I use on van. Full blast heart or cool set to shut off auto in 15 minutes. Roof storage acts like awning also. Get content
Thanks John, this is a great idea. I've looked into it a bit as my car is a manual transmission. It looks like the install is close to $500. Did your vehicle come with auto start or did you install?
@@hauk3839 Gotcha, maybe inflation raised the install price. It's a great idea. Now I need to decide if I want to invest more in the car, or put that money aside for an eventual upgrade. Thanks for sharing! :-)
Thanks for watching Gloria! :-) My personal favorite place to find good (free) campsites is freecampsite.net. They don't have an app, but it's a very user friendly interface. Sometimes, I will also go directly to the national forests or BLM websites to scope out places.
Hey i camp a lot i use mr buddy it works well and it would really take a lot to kill ya . Looks like you got it though . Oh i just bought a rv to live in for the same reasons .
Hi Sharon, for now it's all been through word of mouth. I understand that there are some sites out there to connect pet owners to pet sitters, but I haven't used that yet. I might explore that in the future.
Hi Sharon, I searched for my receipt to see if I could provide this info and unfortunately I can't find it. :-( I'm not sure about this, but the brand name sounded something like, "CA auto parts." Honestly the carrier is small, and I'd recommend going with something larger than mine.
P.S. ...I apologize, I meant to add these few references: Ezekiel 14:1-23; 18:1-32; 21:1-22:31; and 33:1-33 ( Col. 1:28; Romans 1:1-16:27; I Corinthians 1:1-16:24; II Corinthians 1:1-13:14; and all 150 Psalms are PERFECT PRAYERS! 25 chapters each day is a good minimum to PRAY! ...on day #7 than READ: Proverbs 1:1-31:31; the next day Ecclesiastes 1:1-13:14. And than REPEAT. Takes about 1 hour and a half hours each day. King James Bible ONLY! ( not listening to "an app," but reading aloud with your own voice. That is IF you want to have God's Word IN your heart: John 14:6; Deu. 11:18-32 ). ...Sadly, most could careless. They don't have "a clue," what joy, honor, and grace their MISSING! ( Ephesians 1:1-6:24; Colossians 1:1-4:18; Philippians 1:1-4:18; and Hebrews 1:1-13:25; I John 1:1-5:21 ) ...But, if all 8 billion persons on the earth in one accord rejected "the love of Christ my Lord," I'd stand alone by God's grace ( I Cor. 15:1-58; Zechariah 1:1-14:20; Malachi 1:1-4:6 ) ...but thankfully our future is WRITTEN: Revelation 1:1-22:21; Daniel 1:1-12:13; Matt. 24:1-25:46 ...So, I have hope ( in the Lord ) that many other will be saved, and come into the knowledge of THE TRUTH ( I Peter 1:1 - 3:18 ) ...Amen.
Hello, I've heard a lot of nomadic folks share that a 12V electric blanket works great, but I haven't used one myself. I may get one for this coming winter.
Hi there young lady. After watching this first video of yours, I wanting to express my thank ( to the Lord God of Israel, who raised Jesus Christ from the dead: I Cor. 15:1-58; Phil. 3:1-21; Acts 3:18-26 / K.J.V. ONLY ) for your wonderful parents who raised a wonderful daughter ( Deu. 11:18-32; Eph. 6:1-3 ) ...And having READ God's holy written Word for 43 years, since age 21, I could say alot: but, I will give a few scriptural references concerning SAFETY, because, it the Lord himself ( the Almighty: Rev. 1:1-22:21 ) ALONE who can protect his people who truly love ( John 14:21-23 ), fear ( Psalm 89:7; Isa. 66:1-2; Job 28:28; Prov. 1:1-33; 8:1-36 ), and obey him ( Exodus 15:26; Prov. 4:18-27; Matt. 4:4; Acts 24:14; I Tim. 4:13-16; Psalm 1:1-6; 19:1-14; 119:1-176 ). ...Also: I found your video, as I soon to move into my newly purchased 1996 Toyota RAV4, that also needs some repair work, but runs fairly well. As a working poor man, renting a room ( $730 a month ), with bed bugs ( among other things ), I'm ready to simplify again. From Nov. 2006 - Oct. 2019 ( before renting a room ), I lived outside ( homeless Preacher: Zephaniah 1:1-3:20 ) without a vehicle; so this will be "a breeze," as it were. And, having watch several video on the subject of "Nomadic/ Car Living," your articulate sensible speeches, and clear details, etc., I've enjoyed the most. You also, in this video mentioned the word "BLESSED," twice: ...So I immediately remember: Psalm 1:1-6; 106:3; Rev. 1:3; Isa. 26:1-4; Phil. 4:6-9; ...and many like scriptures. ...the Lord said to me in a dream: May 2011 ( San Francisco CA ) ..."they have it ( God's Word ) in their hand, but it's not in their heart." ...Sadly, and SHAMEFULLY ( on their part ) that pertains to ALL the workers of INIQUITY: Ezekiel 2:1-3:27; 13:1-23; Matt. 7:13-15, 21-23, 26-27; 15:7-14; 23:1-39; Jer. 5:1-31; 6:13-14; 8:10-11; 23:1-2, 9-27,30-40; Isa. 1:1-3:26; 19:1-23; 30:1-3; 33:14; 56:9-12; I Tim. 6:3-10; I John 2:15-17; James 4:4; Rom. 16:17-18; II John 9-11; I Cor. 14:34-37; Zech. 5:1-11; Rev. 2:2, 9b, 20-24; 3:14-19; 9:20-21; and 17:1-18:24; 21:8; 22:15; 22:18-19, and many like scriptures ( Luke 6:20-23; II Peter 2:1-22; II Cor. 11:3-4, 13-15; Matt. 6:23-24; Prov. 28:22 ) ...Well thanks for reading my "comments." ...Prov. 28:4-7; Ecc. 9:13-18; Luke 6:24-26; II Tim. 2:24-26; 4:16-18, because most entirely ignore such WORDS. And rather SELL their "Christian Books, or Gospel Music," to become RICH, or increase their RICHES ( I Tim. 6:3-10; Dan. 11:14; Luke 14:11; ...vs: Matt. 10:8; I Cor. 9:18; II Cor. 11:7; Prov. 23:23; Isa. 55:1-9, 10; Rev. 22:17 ) ...But who pays ATTENTION to the details of God's holy written Word, in THESE LAST DAYS? ...Matt. 24:1-25:46; Daniel 1:1-12:13; Revelation 1:1-22:21 ...Amen.
I'm glad you brought up where people are most likely to be assaulted or killed. I mention it everytime I can: the monsters don't lurk in the shadows, they're your romantic partners, family, friends, coworkers, teachers, etc.
If you're worried about safety, start with analyzing your home and your workplace and the relationships you form there.
Legit about the safety concerns! The data is solid. Thanks for watching and blessings sent your way! :-)
And you are right about that I hate it when people tell me what to do, especially when I freaking grew up by myself
Legit. We are free spirits.
You can have baking soda! Pour it into an appropriate size zip loc bag. It will conform to the place you put it, unlike a box.
That's a great point Deb - Ziplock bags are so handy in this lifestyle! :-) Thanks for watching!
All powered products go in a ziplock bag
I live my mini van. Low maintenance good gas mileage. 2 inch lift kit. 800 bed system. Your so right bed is number one thing to put on list then build around that. I love your car set up. Very organized and that there is 🗝️
Thank you John. Minivans are awesome. Have you found the lift helps with going off road?
It helps with clearance and it's not off road like a jeep.
@@hauk3839 Nice! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for sharing such a positive video. I hope to be travelling and living out of my car soon too. I loved how you were realistic enough to admit there are negative issues and sometimes we have to accept that they go along with the freedom we have. However, on a day to day basis, you have managed to come up with workable alternatives or work arounds that mean you can continue to enjoy the positives. You go girl. Enjoy life to the full.
Hi there! Thanks so much! And congrats to you about your upcoming journey in your car. Even with the negative things, I've had the experience of a lifetime in the car. And sometimes things are really hard! Like right now, the heat at the height of summer threw me for a loop cause it wasn't this hard for me last year in the summer. But even so, I'm grateful for the lifestyle. Blessings to you on your travels! :-)
Your video is lots of fun to watch. I do eyelash extensions professionally and we use a device that turns water into a mist. My clients love it and say it's refreshing. This might be better than a spray bottle for keeping you cool without getting you too wet and encouraging mold and using up a lot of water.
I love your videos! You should become an actress! Beautiful and great personality! From a Grandma that loves to see strong and smart women!❤
Thanks so much! Totally smiling and I'm grateful for the encouraging comment. :-) Happy New Year to you!
I'm a full-time van lifer, from upstate NY now in Arizona! I purposely bought my 2019 Dodge caravan SXT, specifically for good gas mileage, 28 mpg. and plenty of room for my dog and myself to live in! I give so much props to people that live in a cars! I really don't think I could in that small of a space! In this life, less is better, and simplicity is key! What app do you use for the beautiful places you find?...
Rock on and safe travels my friend!👍🚙
Thanks for watching and for your comment! :-)
Wow! 28 MPG in a van! I googled that van AND it looks stealthy! Win-win! That's awesome you travel with a dog. I search for most of my locations on freecampsites.net. It's a webpage, and doesn't have an app, but I found it to have the most user friendly interface. What do you use? Safe travels to you as well! :-)
@@autumnandchloe Thank you! Yes, it's stealthy, and I've been through many off roads with it believe it or not! I just go slow and easy! I use ioverlander app. It's great!...
@@nothingspecific.8119 I've got to look into that app a bit more. Happy travels to you!
Seeking freedom is not being irresponsible - in fact - it is probably one of the most "responsible" things you can do! We can't all live out of a car - or - even want to - but - when seeking something you want or desire to be in this life - we need to be honest and recognize that, far too often, our largest obstacle is "ourselves". I sincerely believe, that if we would just get out of our own way then the journey and results would be a lot better. Chew up energy on the tasks rather than preventing yourself from doing them!
Thank you Steve, I value what you shared here, words of wisdom indeed. Very powerful to get out of our own way... I often share with folks that I've wanted to live this lifestyle for 21 years before embarking... and the thing that held me back was lacking bravery to do something so "extreme" or "alternative." However, this past year has been the best of my life so far, and I'm grateful everyday I took the plunge. Thank you for your comments! :-)
@@autumnandchloe - it truly is amazing when you finally realize how difficult "WE" make life's simplest things. We really do sincerely get in our own way. It took me forever to realize that Mark Twain was bang-on when he said "Worrying is like paying a debt you don't owe".
@@BoomerBlogging What a great Mark Twain quote! Another one of his that I love is, "I've lived through some terrible things in my life, some of which actually happened." What you're sharing about getting out of our own way... very empowering.
I agree. I had to get a divorce in order to live the life I wanted, because I could never be myself while being married. I compromised myself and what I wanted out of life so much that I barely recognized myself. It was always about the other person and what they wanted with me. It was not an easy thing to do, but I thought about how I only have this one life. And then I thought am I going to just watch it go by, being a woman in a free country, in a time in history when I can actually have the freedom to do what I want and live my own life, IF I get out of my OWN way? No. No, I am not.
So, I made hard choices, and I have never been happier in my entire life. I am so grateful to myself and for this opportunity before it's too late, and I feel like I actually HAVE a life now. A life of my own. Even if I only got to have a life of my own for six months and then it was gone, it would still have been SO worth it! Before, I felt as if I had a winning lottery ticket in my hand, that so many women around the world even in this day and age would absolutely love to have, and I was just throwing it away to live someone else's version of life until I die that I could care less about doing. So, it's wonderful to see other women being single and doing their thing and not even afraid to tell everyone about it. Keep on sharing!
@@rachelrichards837this may have been the single most important comment I have yet read in utube. TY so much! I'm wishing you joy, peace & love!
You can place a wet towel over yourself. This will help in very hot weather. Having a fan blow air over you cools you more. A cool washcloth on your neck helps. A neck fan did not cool me. God bless you with his protective hands and guide you on your path as you move forward on your wonderful journey. May He grant you courage and strength and peace. Marie from S C
Thank you Marie, I will plan to use the wet towel idea once the weather heats up again. And, thank you so much for that blessing. I was moved by that. :-)
Another way that you can cool off.... I have lots of pillows on my bed - one for my feet. On hot nights (when I didn't have a/c) I would spray my foot pillow with water. It worked really well. If you use a towel instead of a pillow, I would suggest putting a pillowcase on it.
This is a great idea! Thank you Laura! I'm going to implement this. :-)
I camp in my Prius and use a jet boil to heat my water. Brings 2 cups to a boil in 60-90 seconds! I know it would take a few batches for those large thermoses but it would still be way less than 30 minutes. Probably more like 10. They are pricey but fast. I bought mine at a local retailer during their annual sale. (Summit Hut in Tucson)
Hi there! Thanks for watching and for sharing about the Jet Boil. I've been curious about those and they seem to save space as well. It sounds like that might be a great solution. :-)
Hi Autumn. Everything that you covered was very interesting. One of these days, I will be inspired to leave my cave and see the sun again..... thank you for sharing. Cheers
Hi Pops Pops, I'm curious about this cave... literal, metaphorical? Thanks for watching and for your encouraging comments. :-)
@Sacred Southwest Hi Autumn. Hope all is well. My cave is not really a cave, but a metaphor. I used to travel quite a bit for work and pleasure. I am considering the idea of purchasing a campervan or RV and leaving my "cave" from time to time. I need to stop considering it and just do it. 😆 I am going to watch your other videos now... see you at the other video.
@@popspops3795 Gotcha, I figured, lol... but you never know. I bet if we UA-cam searched, "man lives in cave," there would probably be a lot of videos. (Okay, just did this. Yep! Lots of videos. :-) )
Thanks for watching!
@Sacred Southwest I frequently research a variety of topics of my interests and find an enormous amount of UA-cam videos that surprise me.
Stay safe, stay healthy, and stay happy 😊
For storage solutions, there are quite a few small stainless steel options online. Weathertech that makes mats for vehicles, also makes shades specific to the make/model of your car. Love your truth. You keep it real. 😊
Thanks so much Belinda! These are awesome recommendations. I've looked them up! :-)
Apartments are 2-3k here. I rent a small room and don’t have to pay any other bills besides my phone. I currently can’t drive otherwise I’d do what you do. My landlord/ roommate doesn’t understand why I never have to work, you really do have much more time
That's awesome that you've found a way to give yourself more time! I believe that time is the most valuable thing we have in this life. Thanks for watching! :-)
Thanks for another excellent video. I bought a 12v electric blanket from Walmart (in the auto parts section), for $25. It uses very little battery power and feels amazing when it is close to 0°.
Thank you Abbey! I initially tried an electric blanket that took so much from my power station, but it wasn't a 12V. I'm going to give a 12V a try. I appreciate your comment! :-)
Great video. Nice to hear some for REAL useable information. Very good points made that I’ve never thought about!❤
Thank you Teri, I'm glad to hear this was useful. I appreciate your comment and thanks for watching! :-)
You’re so theatrical and I LOVE IT! I know this is a year old but I just love you and your personality xxx never change
Thanks so much! 🙂
That’s my Hangul. I’m in Utah and want to live out of my car. But here’s my problem. I have a power inverter, two batteries and a 350 amp alternator. Even hooking up a battery charger the space heater still will knock the power inverter voltage down to under 11 volts after 30 minutes. I decided to renew my lease that gives me more time to find a winter weather solution
Hi Brian, thank you for your comment. Winter is tough in this lifestyle. I'm considering taking a seasonal job, or renting a small apartment during winter next year. Lol... perhaps by then I will have found better solutions. Sounds like you are planning for nomad life as well? Best wishes to you!
For cooling, use a thick damp terry cloth hand towel around your neck - or any damp cloth as they did in the movie Thelma and Louise.
That's a great idea, thank you for sharing. I'm going to do that. :-)
Wise, witty and very helpful 🙂
Thanks so much Kim! :-)
I love the joy and peace you have making this video! Thanks so much I’m excited to start my journey soon, and this was great advice! Many blessings and peace to your heart and mind! Thanks 💜
Hi there, thanks for watching and for your kind and encouraging comment! It sounds like you have a similar journey ahead! Whoo hoo! Blessings to you on your travels! :-)
@@autumnandchloe thanks! Peace to you and chloe 💜
12 volt outlet may need a new fuse. I’ve read that they blow easily if they get overloaded.
Thank you! I am thinking it might be a fuse. Hopefully those are easy to replace. Thanks for watching! :-)
They are cheap and easy to replace
You're a georgeous women....keep doing what you love and live free, that's what life is supposed to be...Good wishes and blessings to you...!!!!

So interesting thank you for sharing all your insight and wisdom. You really are such a beautiful person inside and out 🌸
Thanks so much for the encouraging comment Shani. Thanks for watching! :-)
Hi I’m new to your channel and I’m really getting a lot of new information from you! So thank you first and foremost, and I’m greatfull to you for the way you speak to all of us…
Anyhow, I’m in my car - it’s the same car you have randomly -
I find it so HARD EVERYTHING IS JUST SO HARD FOR ME! I am a 50something year old gay man who’s never camped in my life so I bought stuff to / for camping but I haven’t used any of them.. oy’
I’ve driven from my old home area in San Diego to Canada and tried to go to new place but I’m lonely and I don’t do well trapped in my head… all I do is get angry at myself and at the person who forced me into this life. I just wanted to reach out to you and say that I’m watching and learning from you and I’m listening to you!
Thank you so very much for your insight and your yeah all of it I’m really learning a lot…
You’re so sweet and kind I wish that we could meet up at some point so you can teach me some skills that I need to know.
Cheers
Hi Dug, I'm grateful to hear that you're getting information from the channel. I appreciate your comment. I hope that your experience in your car feels smoother over time. I found that it took me several months to get into a rhythm and flow of things, and I still change things up often after 10 months to help with ease of life.
What are some of the things that you are finding most challenging at this time?
Hi and thank you with all my heart for your support help and most of all your kindness!
I can’t tell you what much it means to me that a person who I don’t know has take time out of your busy schedule to send me a kind note…
You asked me what are my challenges as of today.. well one big one is using the bathroom!! You see I’m disabled and it’s a huge issue for me if and let’s say that I go to ask nicely for the key to the bathroom and I know it’s working but the owner of the gas station said it’s out of order and you can’t hold it anymore and ( yeah you have a situation and no where to shower so you have to deal with it) it’s a huge issue and it’s not fun at all,
Or when I need something and it’s on the bottom of a few bags then everything falls over and out of the bags and you become a Disaster Zone and everything is unorganized all over again m.
I’m having trouble letting go of my clothes and shoes because they are all I have left of a once very nice life until I let that happen into my life and he destroyed everything and everyone that I had. So I know I would have more room in here if I got rid of those things it’s just very hard for me to let go!
I’m struggling with this thought of I can live in my car - nope I can’t I I need to find a place to live… living like this isn’t less expensive than being in an apartment and people think I have it made because I don’t have rent to pay … but living in the San Diego area is very expensive regardless.. also I don’t have a rue teen down and I’ve been in my car since the end of September.., O’ one last thing is being messed with in the middle of the night by strange people looking in your car and you’re trying to sleep or they will hit slap or yell at you and to your car to scare me and I have major trauma from what that person has done to me. So I get major anxiety and panic attacks
Well thank you for letting me say all that I hop to see another note from you again soon…
Take care and be safe
Douglas
@@dughiggs Hi Dug, I hear you on all of these things. When I am in California, I find myself feeling anger about the lack of public bathroom access - it seems uncivilized. I've felt this way for a long time... long before I became a nomad. And, I too found it to be challenging to find order and organization... I pretty much live like an extreme minimalist, and I've found that even living with so little, in such a tiny space, the car can feel cluttered.
Your situation sounds like it came about from a big loss. That is hard, I am sorry for your loss. I've spent several months in and out of CA as a nomad, and I'll be honest, it's not a place I plan to spend time unless I have a pet/house sitting gig. The state is not friendly to the nomadic lifestyle and everything is extremely expensive. The one and only time I've been concerned about a safety issue was in California. The natural beauty is wonderful, but I've found the ease of life to be lacking. Are you able to set up a homebase in a different location?
@@autumnandchloe Sorry it is so challenging for you, Dug. I sincerely hope things get better!
I was wondering about CA not being great for nomads - is this because the weather in San Diego is so perfect, that everyone who is homeless would want to live there to avoid freezing or burning up, so they are just frustrated with too many car dwellers? I don't know...I have never been there in my life. But I would like to go to the parks in CA for sure.
Just guessing they may be less friendly if there were a lot more people because of the weather. I mean, you don't hear as much about people in cold weather states being super frustrated with all the nomads like you do in southern climates. Just because people are homeless, doesn't mean they are stupid. They are going to hang out where it's warm, and this can make it challenging for those cities as they have more than their share of people to try and provide services for. Especially of those services are already expensive. Just a thought.
Thank you for excellent content and life affirming messages.
Hi Shelly, thanks so much for watching and for the encouraging comment! :-)
I learned this while living in a very old rickety moble home ( temporarily) on a very hot summer with no air conditioning. Soak a towel put it over yourself across your shoulders over your head depending on your need . Sitting in the shade or a breeze or in front of a fan; will keep you cool . Infacy be carefull you may get cold . The drawback in this method while traveling is you will use more water.
How do you bathe?
Thank you Maggie, this sounds like a great idea that I will try out once it's hot again. For bathing, most of the time I shower at the gym. I also shower in camp grounds (even if I don't stay in them, many allow me to use the showers for a small fee), truck stops, and friends and family's houses if I'm visiting. Sometimes I'll go many days without a shower and use a river, lake, at wet wipes during these situations. :-)
Just found your channel. Great video.
Hi Kerry! Thanks so much! Welcome! :-)
Love you're content and thanks for the ideas of hand warmers .n the neck deal I wanna try tht just for relaxation,...safe travels🌅🙏💙🙏🌅💙🙏🌅💙🙏🌅💙
Thank you Mary! That neck warmer really is relaxing, I use it for relaxation as well. :-)
But the perfect thing, is that you can also drive away from the heat.. And find a place that is more suitable.
Thanks for watching! And totally! That is such a blessing of this lifestyle, to chase the sunshine! :-)
Great video and tips, thank you
Hi there, thanks so much for watching! :-)
This is such a good video on the reality of "car life." I can't wait to get back in my car. I think I may give my notice on July 1st. I'm excited, scared etc. But I have to say, I think differently now since the first time I tried it. 🚗
Thanks so much! That's great that you've done it before and it sounds you're ready for another adventure! I hope it all unfolds wonderfully for you! :-)
It is so enjoyable listening to you and you are so inspiring. Thank you for your no frills accounts of living on the road.
Thanks so much for watching and your kind comment! 🙂🚘
I'm making plans to move into my prius in September and "fallow the weather " yea being a snowbird, winter down south summer up north. Prius what can I say, reliable fuel efficient rolling generator lol.😂
Interesting and helpful tips. Thanks
Thanks for watching Linda! :-)
Hello, I came across your channel today and love it ❤ and subscribed. I do have a question, what do you do for a residency for Dmv/banking, mail, etc?

I love how real you are ❤ this is a great video (with solutions)!!

When you say happy😆🌊 🤣🤣🤣I hope your blankets are wool? I find that old 'vintage' are better. As for tent. Nothing beats a bell tent.
The Sibley 300 ProTech by Canvascamp. It's an option depending on your circumstances & usage?
You're inspiring to others😄🙂
Thanks for watching Pete! Those bell tents look amazing. In a possible future life, I want to host a glamping-hotel with a bunch of those. If I were in one place more often, this would be a great tent.
I appreciate your comment. :-)
Yes. I have a friend who runs a business. ..glamping. It's not camping. Full-size bed, furniture, twinkle lights, carpet etc😄😂. ☝️Wood heater in winter🤣🤣🤣. Canvascamp is definitely in US & Canada too.
@@ToFightTheGoodFight That sounds like a place I'd like to stay! :-)
That was a great video. Thank you
Thanks for watching! :-)
Wicked cool video! Jetboil Flash Cooking System will boil about 2 cups of water in 100 seconds. 😊
I enjoy listening to your experiences and knowledge on the subject. Nice camp site set up. The fish looked Delicious!!
Thank you r s! The fish was delicious. Worth the table and stovetop set up. :-)
I'm SO happy I found your channel !!!❤
Thanks so much! :-)
hello ;)
for your boiling problems , jetboil is a game changer ;)
I've heard those are great, thanks for watching! :-)
Did You do a video on safety If so I would love to watch it...I'm encouraged by you're thoughts and you're balance on subjects..enjoy watching 😊😊😊
Thank you Mary! I sure did. :-) Here is the link: ua-cam.com/video/29HdlYXWECw/v-deo.html
Hi autumn and Chloe Billy here enjoying another one of your videos. I haven’t done much camping by Flagstaff I mostly go to the rim anyway I have one of those pop-up privacy tents and your video showed me how to fold and get it back in the bag THANK YOU :)
By the way, have you checked out the lava tube by Flagstaff it’s on my list of things to do when I head that way, it says to bring at least three types of light in case you get a failure. The average temperature in there year around is I believe 35° maybe you can make a video of that
I'm so glad the video helped with the privacy tent - I love those things. The lava tubes are incredible! I haven't been for many years but next time I go I'll take your suggestion and film there. Thanks for watching! :-)
Thank you for another very informative car life video!!! 😀 Are you sharing what kind of usb fan you use now?
Hi Divina! Thanks for watching. :-)

Excellent information. I just turned 60 years old, I want and need to be free and at peace. I have am 8 year old yorkie.
Hi Patricia, thanks for watching. I hear you on that desiring freedom and peace. There are certainly challenges in this life, but for me, they are absolutely the freedom and peace I feel living this way. Are you thinking of vehicle dwelling?
Great info! Wouldn't your neck hurt in your standing desk position? Since I have huge neck issues, I need to support my neck and not tip it down and/or forward.
Your real-life info makes your channel a favorite.
Hi there, thanks so much! :-) I think you're right... had I kept that particular set up long enough, it likely would have hurt my neck. Ergonomic issues while working were some of the primary reasons I upgraded to an RV.
Totally subscribing!

Heating blanket for cold nights.
Thank you! I tried one initially, took lots of power. But it wasn't a 12V. I recently was recommended a 12V one to save power. I'm going to give that a try. Do you recommend one in particular?
Bless you
Blessings to you too! :-) Thanks for watching.
Plug in kettle. Would take up room but how convenient.
Hi there, yes, I had one initially with too high of a wattage and it zapped my limited power significantly. However, I know they may smaller ones that could work out well. Thanks for watching!
Favorite video
Thanks for watching! :-)
Your have very good wisdom and good spirit! Your my new idol. Im gonna transition as a travel nurse soon. I plan to live in my car and try this lifestyle in my first contract not because of financial reason but because I really want to experience it. I wish to be as brave and smart as you.
Thanks for watching and for your encouraging comment! What an awesome experience you have ahead of you! :-) And travel nurses are so needed! Thank you for what you do!
Can you get auto starter. You car comes with ac heat. I use on van. Full blast heart or cool set to shut off auto in 15 minutes. Roof storage acts like awning also. Get content
Thanks John, this is a great idea. I've looked into it a bit as my car is a manual transmission. It looks like the install is close to $500. Did your vehicle come with auto start or did you install?
I found some one to install aftermarket for about $300 installed
That was before covid to
@@hauk3839 Gotcha, maybe inflation raised the install price. It's a great idea. Now I need to decide if I want to invest more in the car, or put that money aside for an eventual upgrade. Thanks for sharing! :-)
Thanks for your videos! 😊How do you find where to spend the night?
Type this question in you tube and an array of videos will pop up.
Thanks for watching Gloria! :-) My personal favorite place to find good (free) campsites is freecampsite.net. They don't have an app, but it's a very user friendly interface. Sometimes, I will also go directly to the national forests or BLM websites to scope out places.
Hey i camp a lot i use mr buddy it works well and it would really take a lot to kill ya . Looks like you got it though . Oh i just bought a rv to live in for the same reasons .
Hi Art, I am going to give this a try this coming winter. Thanks for the tip! :-)
Actually a Tesla is very problematic... if it's cold, the battery will not stay charged so you cannot go anywhere and you cannot stay warm.
Oh wow... that's good to know. I didn't realize that, but it makes sense. If it's too cold, I notice that it is bad for my power stations.
i use powdered clay to wash my hair body and even brush my teeth, you can spit that back to mother nature with ease knowing that's where it came from!
That's awesome, thank you for the tip! :-)
A sleeping bag works wonders
Legit, thanks for watching! :-)
i agree!
Thanks for watching! :-)
How do you find a pet sitting job?
Hi Sharon, for now it's all been through word of mouth. I understand that there are some sites out there to connect pet owners to pet sitters, but I haven't used that yet. I might explore that in the future.
I live out my crosstrek and I use Rover.
What about a heated jacket? (from Michigan)
I ended up getting one of those the following winter. It was great! :-)
What phone did you film this with? It looks really good
Hi there, thanks for watching! I film with the iPhone 13 Pro Max. :-)
Nice
Thanks for watching! :-)
Wow, no room for a small box of baking soda but room for a big hat, lol. 😂
Hi there, thanks for watching! Yes, the hat provides eye and skin protection from sun, so is higher in the decision-chain than baking soda.
@@autumnandchloe Understand that! It’s also super cute too.
Thanks so much! :-)
Where did you get your car top carrier what is the brand name?
Hi Sharon, I searched for my receipt to see if I could provide this info and unfortunately I can't find it. :-( I'm not sure about this, but the brand name sounded something like, "CA auto parts." Honestly the carrier is small, and I'd recommend going with something larger than mine.
P.S. ...I apologize, I meant to add these few references: Ezekiel 14:1-23; 18:1-32; 21:1-22:31; and 33:1-33 ( Col. 1:28; Romans 1:1-16:27; I Corinthians 1:1-16:24; II Corinthians 1:1-13:14; and all 150 Psalms are PERFECT PRAYERS! 25 chapters each day is a good minimum to PRAY! ...on day #7 than READ: Proverbs 1:1-31:31; the next day Ecclesiastes 1:1-13:14. And than REPEAT. Takes about 1 hour and a half hours each day. King James Bible ONLY! ( not listening to "an app," but reading aloud with your own voice. That is IF you want to have God's Word IN your heart: John 14:6; Deu. 11:18-32 ). ...Sadly, most could careless. They don't have "a clue," what joy, honor, and grace their MISSING! ( Ephesians 1:1-6:24; Colossians 1:1-4:18; Philippians 1:1-4:18; and Hebrews 1:1-13:25; I John 1:1-5:21 ) ...But, if all 8 billion persons on the earth in one accord rejected "the love of Christ my Lord," I'd stand alone by God's grace ( I Cor. 15:1-58; Zechariah 1:1-14:20; Malachi 1:1-4:6 ) ...but thankfully our future is WRITTEN: Revelation 1:1-22:21; Daniel 1:1-12:13; Matt. 24:1-25:46 ...So, I have hope ( in the Lord ) that many other will be saved, and come into the knowledge of THE TRUTH ( I Peter 1:1 - 3:18 ) ...Amen.
You are well versed indeed! Thank you for the kindness and sending blessings your way. :-)
And yes, I want Borax so bad but my space is limited.
Right?! Cars are small places to live.
Just pour a lil bit of baking soda in double ziplock bags, takes up no space, be blessed 🌹
Hi there! Thanks for watching. I ended up doing that with the baking soda, thank you! :-)
👍😊❣️
Thank you! :-)
Could you use an electric blanket?
Hello, I've heard a lot of nomadic folks share that a 12V electric blanket works great, but I haven't used one myself. I may get one for this coming winter.
I’m pretty raw vegan - I think that is definitely doable with this van life.
Thanks for watching! Raw vegan would work very well in this lifestyle. :-)
A hot as it gets warning a mask trough COVID that would be option for heat.

Thanks so much Shelly!
Hi there young lady. After watching this first video of yours, I wanting to express my thank ( to the Lord God of Israel, who raised Jesus Christ from the dead: I Cor. 15:1-58; Phil. 3:1-21; Acts 3:18-26 / K.J.V. ONLY ) for your wonderful parents who raised a wonderful daughter ( Deu. 11:18-32; Eph. 6:1-3 ) ...And having READ God's holy written Word for 43 years, since age 21, I could say alot: but, I will give a few scriptural references concerning SAFETY, because, it the Lord himself ( the Almighty: Rev. 1:1-22:21 ) ALONE who can protect his people who truly love ( John 14:21-23 ), fear ( Psalm 89:7; Isa. 66:1-2; Job 28:28; Prov. 1:1-33; 8:1-36 ), and obey him ( Exodus 15:26; Prov. 4:18-27; Matt. 4:4; Acts 24:14; I Tim. 4:13-16; Psalm 1:1-6; 19:1-14; 119:1-176 ). ...Also: I found your video, as I soon to move into my newly purchased 1996 Toyota RAV4, that also needs some repair work, but runs fairly well. As a working poor man, renting a room ( $730 a month ), with bed bugs ( among other things ), I'm ready to simplify again. From Nov. 2006 - Oct. 2019 ( before renting a room ), I lived outside ( homeless Preacher: Zephaniah 1:1-3:20 ) without a vehicle; so this will be "a breeze," as it were. And, having watch several video on the subject of "Nomadic/ Car Living," your articulate sensible speeches, and clear details, etc., I've enjoyed the most. You also, in this video mentioned the word "BLESSED," twice: ...So I immediately remember: Psalm 1:1-6; 106:3; Rev. 1:3; Isa. 26:1-4; Phil. 4:6-9; ...and many like scriptures. ...the Lord said to me in a dream: May 2011 ( San Francisco CA ) ..."they have it ( God's Word ) in their hand, but it's not in their heart." ...Sadly, and SHAMEFULLY ( on their part ) that pertains to ALL the workers of INIQUITY: Ezekiel 2:1-3:27; 13:1-23; Matt. 7:13-15, 21-23, 26-27; 15:7-14; 23:1-39; Jer. 5:1-31; 6:13-14; 8:10-11; 23:1-2, 9-27,30-40; Isa. 1:1-3:26; 19:1-23; 30:1-3; 33:14; 56:9-12; I Tim. 6:3-10; I John 2:15-17; James 4:4; Rom. 16:17-18; II John 9-11; I Cor. 14:34-37; Zech. 5:1-11; Rev. 2:2, 9b, 20-24; 3:14-19; 9:20-21; and 17:1-18:24; 21:8; 22:15; 22:18-19, and many like scriptures ( Luke 6:20-23; II Peter 2:1-22; II Cor. 11:3-4, 13-15; Matt. 6:23-24; Prov. 28:22 ) ...Well thanks for reading my "comments." ...Prov. 28:4-7; Ecc. 9:13-18; Luke 6:24-26; II Tim. 2:24-26; 4:16-18, because most entirely ignore such WORDS. And rather SELL their "Christian Books, or Gospel Music," to become RICH, or increase their RICHES ( I Tim. 6:3-10; Dan. 11:14; Luke 14:11; ...vs: Matt. 10:8; I Cor. 9:18; II Cor. 11:7; Prov. 23:23; Isa. 55:1-9, 10; Rev. 22:17 ) ...But who pays ATTENTION to the details of God's holy written Word, in THESE LAST DAYS? ...Matt. 24:1-25:46; Daniel 1:1-12:13; Revelation 1:1-22:21 ...Amen.
Thanks for watching and for your kind comment. :-) Blessings to you!
