No way. A home base is essential.

I’d say no, but I do see the appeal. Generally, the stuff you own ends up owning you.

I know this technically isn't what the OP was referring to, but we live on the outskirts of the City, so lots of parks, fields and forests - beautiful

But literally yesterday, we've had a horde of what we refer to in the UK as the 'Travelling Community' descend upon us, setting up camp in the nearby nature reserve. There are already bags of human waste and Trailer Park Boys-style piss jugs dotted here and there...

Might be cool for short periods of time.

What this guy fails to mention, is that he chooses to live that lifestyle. Most people living out of cars and trucks aren't as tranquil in doing so.

It also helps that he probably has the money to buy whatever supplies he needs.

Nobody cares about people with money, choosing to live that lifestyle.

Will always be a dream of mine. Even if I think it will be hard to apply and do it... waiting for the right time and I know it may never come. I can do it tomorrow but my way of life is just as shitty as 99%... just following the money like retards.

My great great grand fathers were nomads and had a hard time transitioning to this stable normal life. My father used to tell me stories how the governement offered them great deals to just settle down but they always refused. They even built homes for them ( for free ) and instead of living there, they put their sheeps and furnitures in there and slept in tents.

They used to travel through 4 countries. Now in this damn time we have restrictions over traveling between cities...

They used to stay wherever they want... they were in the hundreds and were always armed to protect themselves and their freedom. It's a good life, nothing like this toxic lifestyle we live in. I hope I'll get to live as a nomad once I'm 60yo, at least do it for a couple years.

I'd rather live together with BayBGM than live as a Nomad

I get your point, but I wouldnt. Not because Bay is gay, but because he seems too bossy and full of himself.

This in a nutshell. Lots of dudes used to live in their cars in the parking lot of Gold's Venice in the late 80s. The problem was getting sick, hygiene, access to running water, even though they had access to the Gold's showers and restroom.

In theory yes absolutely I love looking at converted Sprinter Vans and small RV and old VW Buses and dreaming of travelling to national parks and far off destinations. In reality hell no I don't want to live in a Van

I'd rather be owned by my house than be shitting in the woods.

Not if you have something like a Dembell. There's 100k motorhomes big enough with all commodities

Travelling crime waves more like lol. They're worse for rural towns than county lines drug gangs setting up shop.

The no house lifestyle isn't really enticing. Even the rich gypos like Tyson Fury end up settling in homes when they get rich.

But some hipsters into the financial independence lifestyle are selling their houses and doing the nomad stuff. The main danger is if the markets tank or you get sick, a paid off house comes in handy.

Yes, until China Flu screwed backpackers, dozens of Euro girls loved to get into my Kombi

(I don't live 365 days per year in VW, sometimes I go home or overseas)

Yeah, we've got one of those 'NextDoor' community apps - normally buzzing with low key racism and complaints about 'kids of today', but it's gone mad with the arrival of our new Romany neighbours

And I could see travelling the world for months at a time in a real luxury motorhome, but all year round..?

Lartinos · « **Reply #23 on:** October 17, 2021, 03:58:47 PM »

Yes, I could do it.

My wife wouldn’t want to and it isn’t my first choice.

I am migratory (snowbird) right now and feel this is the optimal way of life.

i see these types in anytime fitness in remote areas - like by the beach

seems like a cool life buts it’s just novel and diff - they seem like truck drivers, type who avoid others on purpose - i guess it’s cool if you’re an “autist” or have social probs

this dudes laughs too much for me - either on antidepressants or something - but not the life for me - shitting in a box and not knowing where the next shower is going to be is enough for me to pass
