Living in a Car: Top 10 Places to Sleep 😴 | Hobo Ahle

I let a hobo sleep on my couch one night. I seen him at 7-11 on my lunch break, then when I got off at 1am he was still there. I knew what was up and could tell he just wanted to sleep comfortably. I talked to him for about 15 minutes and then told him he could pass out at my place if he wanted. He was stoked lol. It was only 30 degrees out so I just put myself in his shoes for a moment. We got back to my place and my roommate was still up playing COD and was like wtf lol. He didn't mind though. He grew up damn near homeless in lower east side manhattan. Dude set on the couch, and within 10 minutes was knocked out. He left the next morning without saying anything. About 6 months go by and I'm at a Wendy's with a friend, and the homeless guy is working there. He thanked me and said I changed his view on things.

I know person who went to my university who bought a parking pass, and then bought a camper van and just lived on campus that way.

24 hour gyms like planet fitness I'm a member so if I need to hit the john at 3am plus shower there and being open all night cars in the parking lot so it doesn't look strange

I hope people don't make their parking decisions on bathroom facilities. When I escaped my abusive husband and lived in my SUV for a while, I just used a low profile plastic storage bin that had a locking lid, covered by a plastic kitchen bag. I always had to go in the middle of the night and first thing in the morning and being prepared in the car kept me sane. I, also, parked on a corner at someone's side yard fence in residential neighborhoods. Was never afraid and slept like a baby. Just switched it up each night. I purchased a 3 month YMCA membership and showered there every morning. Plus they had a pool and all the ammenities. Best deal ever. Most free I've ever felt in my entire life.

Why is this in my recommended, does youtube know something about my bank account that I don't?

when you are bored as fuck so you watch a video of a hobo giving you tips on sleeping in a car.

I am doing it in 2019, getting a Membership at 24 HR Fitness so I may Shower, Hygiene, & Workout and on days off stay with Family, only staying in my car during work days, No RENT or Mortgage save $$$~

Starting my hobo life in a couple weeks to exsacpe abuse , just going over tips thanks.

Are you Russian? Cause safty is number one priority

I'm a truck driver. I literally live in my vehicle for a living. you make it sound amazing. also, if at a truck stop stay to yourself. truckers are not what we use to be. so stay cautious.

If someone is struggling they should be allowed to sleep in their car

Denny's or IHOP. 24 hour restaurants. Park at the far end of parking lot.

welcome to my van where safety is number one priority

I just started living in my car. During this COVID-19 is even more difficult.

Pull into a mechanics shop after they close, leave before they open. Cars/vans don't stand out at a shop.

Is YouTube trying to tell me something? Why is this recommended to me?

they don't want people to live in cars or rvs but they charge unaffordable levels for rent, keep the minimum wage at $7.25 when productivity has nearly tripled that amount as wages have stayed stagnant since the 1970s. I own the car why on earth cant I sleep in it?? Is sleeping on the street supposed to be better then a car?? Can you just leave people alone without threatening and committing violence, fines, harassment and arrest??

Always keep changing, never set a pattern

When I was 17, I lived in my car for a month, and for the first week figuring it out, I would park on the street next to an apartment complex, as if I lived there. But then I got scared and started parking overnight at rest areas. Rest areas worked for me the best because no one was suspicious and it was safe for me!
