  • In my last car, most of it went in the trunk. I currently drive a pick-up because we have to have a way to haul my mom’s power wheelchair, so it mostly goes behind the seats folded up. I don’t have the TV or anything like that anymore. But some ramen noodles, an inverter, a kettle, a sleeping bag, pillow, change of clothes, extra shoes, light blanket/thick sheet, couple towels, first aid kit. Oh, and water




  • So I worked security (night shift rent a cop, not like IT) for over a decade. On multiple occasions, I’d get snowed in, and unable to leave, or relief wouldn’t show, and because of the way the law’s written, I legally can’t leave until relieved.

    I got into the habit of keeping everything I need in my car. For literal years, I could have comfortably lived in my car for over a week on a moments notice. To include an inverter, hot plate, small tv, game system, literally all the trappings of an apartment. I still keep some food and a sleeping bag in my pick up at all times, because you never fucking know, man. You never know.

    Eta: forgot the whole reason I was replying before submitting. Lol

    On a few occasions, I have saved the freaking day for friends or coworkers. Hungry? I got the foods. Ripped your pants? Portable sewing machine. Bored and no cell signal? How about we play some video games or watch a DVD? It’s an amazing feeling to be the dude who just has the shit you need







  • Okay, cool! I thought you meant those toe shoes at first. What makes them “barefoot” shoes? Is it just the wide toe box?

    For me, I actually go up a full shoe size when I stand vs when sitting. I got my feet sized all through childhood and my 20s and always had horrible pain in shoes, and ended up learning this when I went to a podiatrist. My feet squish out like playdoh when I stand up. Lol. I’ve been treating my podiatrist shoes with kid gloves for years now because I lost the food insurance lol
