So this guy’s electricity budget is 3 AA batteries
His vibe and energy is great. Does he have a channel of his own?
Just bought a van and just added a solar panel system that can run an AC and a small fridge 24/7, gonna start working on the aesthetics tmrw love these van videos for inspiration.
I used to be homeless and lived out of a Nissan Altima 2008 with a busted AC for over a year😂😂
I own a house now but I remember I always wanted to have a van and build one
This interview was just relaxing to my soul 😇🙏💞👍
I like this young man. Seems reasonable. Hope he’s well
👍
This young person is doing more for the environment than most people realize. Less consumption and drain on mother Earth.
Good luck and may the Gods bless you and keep you safe.
Courageous but it looks like a teenage crisis situation. The guy does laundry at his parent housse….
I need at least a drain hole to wash with and a bug sprayer of ,three gallons with a dog bad! Porta potty, but I am a woman LOL
Little brother, finally someone doing van life the right way…SIMPLE.
This is the way, to actually have more room inside, instead of cabinets, closets, counters, blah blah blah…yet, if they like all that weight and clutter, and a lack of inside room, then okay.
Buying food out, is about the same price as cooking your own. So why have all that clutter? Yet, if "they" like it all heavy and built out, so be it.
I use black fabric and a fork to push the corners of the fabric into the ceiling plastic support and have complete privacy. With a twin mattress, great bedding, pillows, and lots of room.
Good going Micah (spelling?).
You’re doing van life the best way…..simple! A laptop and cell phone, is good also, and a power inverter.
No truck..keep your mini van.
And it’s okay to travel according to the weather. I’m on the southern beaches in winter, and spring, summer, fall, in Colorado…and a few trips to Arizona in spring and fall.
You’ve got it right with the mini van Micah. Trucks are worse on mpg and very inconvenient. The mini van is just right!
Keep it simple…easy, and mellow…and enjoy a calm journey.
The reason you can’t afford a house is because you spend all money on coffee and eating out.
Minimalist doesn’t = someone who owns nothing, restrain yourself from getting what you love
Its more so
Minimalist = minimalizing things to comfort yourself. You don’t clutter, you can take care of yourself. Have a wardrobe you wear, you never forget a piece you love. Plus clean space, less expensive. Emergencies are easier to handle as well, I’d think. (fires, packing for an emergency, etc)
Add on: shared this because I saw a few comments about it maybe being people who are too lazy to own more or it’s a negative lifestyle.
It’s not. It’s not for EVERYONE though! Which is fine.
He has a job, which means he supports himself, and he’s not harming anyone, so there should be no objections to his lifestyle If he is investing his extra income, he’ll likely be able to retire early.
Thank you for this interview. An excellent van dweller!
This most Awesome🧚🏽♀️🌹
How do you follow this kid? Insta?
They seem like such a chill person! I recognized the location immediately, Victoria is a beautiful city
"on the 7th day I rest" lol that was very biblical
Does he have his own channel? I’d like to see his continual journey as a minimalist in a van.
He is broke & poor simply is that
Hey when I lived in ND I did my van the same way when I lived in it my next van is gonna be minimalist also coming in April
Cool van do you still have it ?
Wow, this rig costed $700 dollars, looks like that, and he doesn’t even have solar (and he wants to)!? My set up costed $50, looks essentially the same as this, except that I have solar and a stove. Albeit maybe his vehicle needed some fixing up, but everything else seems fairly household.
You need to talk your girlfriend into letting you move in with her. Maybe her husband wouldn’t like that.
I stopped at second 25 to write this: I love him. I love people who dont believe they need a lot of material things to be happy. It’s great.
What an impressive young man. Would love an update on where he is now.
Hes a minimalist on everything but that vocabulary
Mica needs to put on some natural muscle mass + wrestling + BJJ + Striking = invincibility.
Hey bro i have the exact minivan. I paid also 700.00 2 yrs ago is when i started living in it…
Sooooo…you really don’t live in your minivan full time; you stay there but have the conveniences of your dad’s house to fall back on.
2:58 for those wondering.
Is he still vanlifing it !? 🙂
Hello. Awesome dude you rock
Yes this is my style my next move
Where do you stay when your van brakes down and they won’t let you stay in it in the shop
Yes. You totally live in that van, and have a girlfriend.
Finally someone who knows how to start with out all that nonsense others do.
It’s cool that he visits his dad regularly like that. I’m sure his dad appreciates that. Family is so important.
Yes nothing beats a minimalist lifestyle I love it
2018: "minimalist"
2021: average millennial
Must be great to live this way
Everything neat and uncluttered
Lovely guy
He seems very happy
Victoria BC . You have impeccable taste! I kind of like hanging out in Sydney though
another micah :0
Love this
He’s funny
I feel like he “identifies” as much more than a “minimalist”
I really hope that he is enjoying the journey.

Update on micah?
I once saw a truck show where the winner was a truck that had been stripped down. The owner removed anything not required by law, for safety or to do his job. Minimalists remove what they don’t need or want. Less is more.
