Hello! I'm an adventure / travel photographer and I've been living in a truck / SUV camper since July of 2018. I made this lifestyle change so I could always be outdoors and so I could camp / hike / explore as much as possible. I lived in a 2000 Toyota 4Runner at first, and now I reside in my newer, larger tiny house… a 2005 Toyota Sequoia. Let me know if you had any questions below! Thanks for watching.

Love this. Also, your setup is so dialed – it actually makes me miss living in my SUV. I'd like to request a guitar playing scene for the next video please 😉
What model Thule are you using for rooftop storage?
Please tell me more about your coffee kettle
Could I ask if it possible in a jeep
now here is a perfect example of someone just "making it work" so to say lol. Awesome job bro!
pretty great set up…i have an suv and took the backseats out and just put a twin mattress in the back with a few usb fans a few totes with food/stove/cooking pan and utensils then another tote with clothes then my backpacking gear and a portable battery to charge my usb fans but overall it works for me im not too fancy but i would like to be a little more with the solar or a few other things…could u talk about ur window covers a little more
Fabulous loved your SUV set minimal super tidy and compact..Thank you for sharing..God bless you and your travelling..🇬🇧
I've watched a ton of vanlife/carlife videos and this is the absolute best one yet. Beginner friendly, economic, minimal and just very well planned out. Once I pass my drivers test I'm getting myself a SUV and leaving forever.
I just made a bed in my ford and it's epic and comfy
Thank you very much for your great tour of your travel SUV. It's very well assembled. I have 2001 Suburban that I want to travel inn. I needs modified and your examples have given me some good ideas. Good luck and be safe brother traveler.
Do you have a link for the cast iron scrubber you showed at 6:45?
great build. where do you set up your stove to cook?
What did you used charge the Refrigerator?
The gear box on top makes all the difference for long term…o my goodness you are wonderfully organized right down to the coffe and magnetic light!
Love the music you chose!
Awesome. Nice work.
what is the brand on your coffee maker.?
Do you run the extension chord to your car battery or the yeti!
What do you do for extreme heat/cold? Is there a way to heat the car with the battery?
What’s your set up for cooking? Where do you set the stove ect?
What u do for money, I want to but afraid to run out
Very nice practical set up.what are your thoughts on SUV awnings.i ask because you can tell that you do spend lots of time in your suv
I’ve seen multiple videos of this type of camping and your setup is definitely the most neat and clean I like it the most !
Love your videos dude! Currently living on the road right now too in a CRV, was thinking of upgrading to a Sequoia, and I think this video has me sold!! Super organized and efficient the way you have everything set up… Was just wondering though, are you able to keep the fridge running JUST from the Yeti Power Station?? And if so, does that mean you're plugging in those solar panels to the Yeti daily to make sure it is charged up enough??? Just asking because I was thinking of getting panels on the roof, but you seem to be managing great without!
Great VDO. Very nice and tidy set up. I m looking for the similar set up on mine SUV for my solo traveling too.
Great VDO for filming , view and SUV living . Inspired me and really Love it . ❤️🫶👌🏼
That battery is $3500💀
I may have missed it, but how do you keep cool? Looking to live in my car for a week and not sure if to keep it simple and just get a fan. I think that's also my best option.
Very inspiring, Sir! Wish I’d had an option like this at your age! All we had were little Subaru 4x4s. This looks great, and I loved your comments about 4×4 vs vans! Enjoy these years, someday you’ll be looking back glad you documented this time in your life!
Thank you for the tour. Wondering how to use the solar panels after they are charged up. Great video
Cool 🤗
u look great
If you need a side gig i know people like me would pay you to organize our stuff and maximize our space! This is amazing
Why does everyone who lives in a van or car look like they're dying?
Maybe it's too much sun
This is so awesome! Thanks for making this video!
I so would just like to sell up everything and do this forever.
How do you stay warm at night??
