I love that this is what the Musk thread has become
Big cats, moose, elk, other animals ... it still kind of is the musk thread ...

I love watching Vanlife videos and also car camping. Is it camping? It's definitely fun.

a dream of mine is to get a sprinter van camper conversion - sort of like a hipster rv. smaller than your typical RV, some of em come in 4x4 configurations, they look cool and good

a more realistic one would be a honda element camper - they sell off the shelf conversion kits for these. be careful that nobody tries to steal your catalytic converter, tho!

The Honda Element aftermarket has stayed pretty warm due to the camper possibilities even though they stopped making them a long time back
I've seen some decent Ford Transit conversions and iirc at least one ilxor has experience in installing solar on conversions

one of the interesting things about vanlife videos lately is a lot of parts of the US have become (apparently) much more actively hostile towards people who try to sleep in their vehicles... would like to see a video about the no doubt constellation of many different groups who are resolutely against the vanlife concept.

because there’s #vanlife and then there’s living in your car, truck, van, converted bus, whatever. the latter people are poor, and aren’t wanted around. the former hashtag types are overwhelmingly rich and can do whatever they want because they’re rich. none of my wealthy pals who have done #vanlife stuff were ever bothered by cops or neighbors— we were harassed constantly just for parking on a quiet, nearly abandoned street.

The best vanlife account out there, and one that's worth your time is Yagai No Moriko (Yt link) who's minivanlifeing it in the remote forests of Japan - one of the most fantastic places out there.

Elon Musk and Don Lemon are escalating towards what could be a bitter contract dispute after X’s owner abruptly terminated its agreement to broadcast a show hosted by Lemon — but Lemon does not have a signed contract.
