i wouldn't bet on a youtube channel ever funding your adventures. good luck tho op

I would love to watch ur vlogs.

>>1238132
>document my adventure
I don't know if adventure is really the right word. Thousands of Americans actually have to live out of their cars through no choice of their own, struggling to eat properly, stay clean, and look for work.

You sound like a fun guy, but you also sound like a pretty naive and immature guy. Why don't you try it for a week or so during your upcoming summer vacation?

I was thinking about this too. Either living in the back of big smurf (pic related) or paying to live in a bedroom somewhere. Where are you thinking of going to OP?

i don't drive, so cannot help with that.

you do want to make sure you're confident with editing, have a reliable laptop and backup system that can be serviced easily, camera, lighting, backup camera, broadband, etc...

Trade the car for a van - at least you'll get a good flat bed, abit of space,and you can work on converting to a camper by adding equipment as you go.

>an old diesel Merc would probably survive Armageddon if you can find one.

Not sure you realize how much work goes into creating a good travel vlog. Also, you're gonna run out of money fast. Think of all the cash you're gonna burn through on gas alone

ignore the haters and do it

>>1238183
probably the west coast first. san diego all the way up to seattle, eventually. but v slowly

>>1238218
yeah i know. that's the fright. worst case scenerio i'd just stay in a populated area and beg until i can afford enough gas to proceed.
i've thought about learning an insturment so that i can get a few bucks, but idk

Why not just keep your job for like 6 months and save as much as you can for this? I lived in Thailand like that. My factory shut down and I just took my savings and just drank and fucked hookers across SEA for 9 months. I only had 9k too.

Being in a shitry touring band meant I spent a lot of time being skint and sleeping in a car, with 3 other smelly guys, sleeping in a car sucks. I never Want to do it again and recommend it to no one.

i would follow your channel if you made daily videos and we get to see you at your most desperate and vulnerable

>>1238797
OP's most desperate and vulnerable would be needing to call home to tell mom she was right all along... but the battery on his iPhone is dead.

>>1238797
probs wouldn't upload daily. would upload whenever i finish a decent video

>>1238132
I actually know someone who does this. She lives in a westfalia and drives around hiking and skiing and getting Instagram likes.

Here's the reality of why she can do it.

1. She's from a rich family and has a financial safety net.
2. She's a pretty girl.
3. She actually spends most of her time shilling products for sponsors, updating her social media and generally hustling for attention on the internet. She actually spends way more time working in this shit than she gets to spend having fun.

You will not make enough money off a YouTube channel to support yourself, I guarantee it. Vandwellers, travel bloggers and the like are a dime a dozen, it's an over saturated market on social media and you need a huge gimmick and lots of keyboard time to get by.

>>1239345
No, you need to upload on a regular basis otherwise your viewership drops off.

ive thought about doing this a lot too. in my version though, i plan on getting a van and taking the seats out in the back and fitting it with a mattress. i dont think an SUV is big enough to live out of.

i did this in 2014. Same story, just fed up with it all so i made a bed in my hatchback and drove west. from texas to seattle and everywhere in between it cost about 1500 to live in my car for 2 months and drive everywhere. then i stopped in seattle and worked in a hostel. it seems so long ago but it was the best experience of my life so far. i got tired of job hopping and being poor so i ponied up and joined the military. now i do virtually nothing and get babied by uncle sam. AMA.

>>1238132
I would watch a vlog by an anon

>>1238132
Are you going to accept temporary jobs here and there in order to get money to live (at least for the food)?

YouTube is littered with vlogs by people living in their vehicles

I was literally going to post the exact same post. OP, forget it if you're not female.
