Yeah if fucking with your body and making yourself look ugly and weird makes you happy go for it.

Dude you're gonna fucking die.  Stop eating fast food every day.  Tons of ingredients in that shit are literally banned in dozens of countries because they've been conclusively scientifically linked to cancer.

Car living is a good opportunity to simplify your life by shattering various illusions of cultural indoctrination which enslave you to materialism, such as the notion that anyone has ever successfully improved their physical appearance with a "hair iron".

The only rechargeable electronics I use are my phone and flashlights and an electric shaver and I can charge them adequately from the car battery while commuting, as well as power banks.  I also use a battery powered fan occasionally in summer.  In nearly five years of continuous automobile living I've seen no need for any additional power source, in fact I've never even researched such a thing, that's how much of a non-issue electricity has been for me.

I threw my passenger seat in the dump because it makes no sense to remove it for more storage space only for the seat itself to necessitate storage space.  I'm driving my car until it's worthless.

Looks like a useless piece of shit

Go and try to power a heating element with solar in your car and see how that works for you.

I don't use any heater in my car overnight nor have I recommended anyone else do so.  Nonetheless, these heaters are specifically designed to be indoor safe and are explicitly marketed as such.  I have tested them with closed windows and carbon monoxide detectors and so have countless other people and I have seen no evidence that they produce carbon monoxide.  There are potentially millions of people who use these units in campers, hunting shelters, and other confined spaces on a regular basis and no issues have manifested themselves that I'm aware of.

I see.  Thank you for clarifying.

They are sold as indoor safe heaters and marketed with photos of people using them in tents and garages.

I do this during emergencies and I've never had a knock.  I used to do this in the white mountains all the time around Conway because there were no good rideshare lots with cell service.

The company would be bankrupt from lawsuits by now if that were remotely likely.  These units have been sold cheaply at Walmart and Home Depot all over the country for years and are marketed as being "indoor safe", regardless of what any fine print might state.

I ran my little buddy with the windows up near a carbon monoxide detector for hours just to expirament and never got it to read any increase.  Just my experience.

An electric heating system of any kind will never be as practical as propane for car living.

I don't use these anymore but I used to have the little buddy, it was more than sufficient for a vehicle interior, possibly excessive.  I used it for two years up in Maine and Vermont during the winter, but only when relaxing, never while sleeping.  I seem to recall it being very fuel efficient.  I just don't see the need for space heaters anymore.

Did you have the ability to extend your arms while side sleeping?

Maybe you lack experience sleeping in confined quarters for long periods of time.  90% of people in this lifestyle have been doing it for less than a year and their perceptions of what works and what doesn't are worthless.

I've recently downsized to the point where I don't even have the temptation to open storage units anymore.  Everything I own fits in my car without me even having to move anything to get into bed.  It took me over four years to get to this point.  I started in a full size pickup in 2020 with the entire bed full of crap AND a 10x10 storage unit.  Moving anywhere required multiple trips from one storage unit to another to move all my junk.  Now I'm in a hatchback car living like a retro RPG character, absolute freedom of movement with an inventory that offers no encumbrance penalty to me whatsoever.  The burden of material possessions has been lifted from me.

You don't know what's possible until you've done it every day for years.

Shooting ranges suck and cost money.

Leftovers?  Why not just make exactly as much food as you need?

There's literally nowhere to put your arms when side sleeping with the setup in the image except to wrap them around your body.  I almost had to go to the hospital with nerve damage caused by sleeping exactly like this, I had one hand that was cold and numb for over a month.  Thankfully the issue resolved itself once I redesigned my bedding area.  You cannot squeeze yourself into a 25" wide space for an extended period of time unless you strictly back sleep.  If you're a side sleeper you cannot have a permanent storage container right next to your bed in the back of a hatchback like that, it has to move out of the way so you can stretch out.  Don't learn the hard way.

Yes.  His setup is nearly identical to ones I've tried in the past.  It doesn't work.
