For the record

Unfortunately his target market seems to be poor people who are barely making end meet and want an escape.

But the thing is, bob’s lifestyle works for that if you work hard and are willing to endure discomforts.  Eg you should be able to fix a flat tire yourself, at a minimum.

On his board there were a lot of people who seemed to be unprepared for the reality of being self reliant!

When I moved into my non-converted van and took to the streets in winter, alone, while significantly disabled and unable to care for myself, I saw death as a likely outcome.

Was I unprepared? Yup. But I had run out of options. So I gave it my best shot, and fought for survival.

Lots of other folks on the streets have a similar story.

If someone is fortunate enough to have the luxury of waiting until they're all good and ready and prepared to move into a van before they do so, then that's absolutely fantastic!

The rest of us just do what we can with what we've got.
