Weird question, but, what would you bring in your car if you had to live in it? Yeah, I feel the stares right now.

Ever watch the show where people want to downsize therefore buy a small house that is portable? At first, I wondered why would people do this? Why would they give up so much room to live in this box-like house? I get it, less expensive, but does wanting to travel so much take priority?

While trying to understand this, ever thought about living in your vehicle? Depending on what vehicle you have, it might be the same size if not close to the size of these tiny houses. What do people actually bring into those things? Can their dresser fit at all in that bedroom? Do some of those houses even have a bedroom?

As I asked some people what they would want to bring with them if they had to live out of their vehicle. Food and drinks do not count! Here is what some said:

  • Extra clothes – Being dirty and smelly won’t be great, so, pack that change of clothes!

  • Pillows and one blanket- Sleeping might be an issue if you don’t have a pillow and a blanket depending on the weather

  • Shoes!  If you don’t bring shoes, you might step on regret

  • Toothpaste and Toothbrush- No makeup bag needed, but at least something to make you smell somewhat decent

  • Deodorant- Again, be a lot fresher than you would be without it

  • A Mattress- Depending on your vehicle, I guess you could add this to the list

  • Glass or hard plastic water bottles- Bring these in case you need water and are traveling (saves money too)

Although, depending on the person you might decide to bring other materials. Let us know what you would not go one single second without even if you were living in your car!
