Attempting to live and work from car with Starlink and also do all Beginner Boost live streams as well (good mic and all).

After watching several dozen videos of people who not only live out of their Outback, but some who have even given up “vanlife” for “sublife” since it is cheaper and easier—even as a couple living together. I have attempted to address all of these.

I’ve also realized that Starlink Mobile (250/month) would make “wild” camping the preferred method by enabling me to camp in places that other remote, long-term campers would never attempt. It also addresses a number of safety issues with being remote but getting stuck. There are devices that also use satellite and services that are minimal that will come fly you out in an emergency.


After some initial testing, I’ve made a tough and unexpected conclusion about living out of my car. It seems very difficult to do it safely and easily for a long period of time—especially by someone who is a very active athlete who needs a solid base from which to recover and launch daily adventures. Others on YouTube have done (and continue) to do it, but they don’t have the requirements that I do.
