If you think you can handle some sweaty palms, Alex Honnold, one of the best free solo climbers in the world, lives in his van so he can easily get from park to park and seems to absolutely thrive off the lifestyle -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SR1jwwagtaQ

There is something that appeals to my personality to live out of a van and just move on a whim but I don't think I would ever have the guts to go for it.



Yes, this sort of living is pretty normal in climbing circles. I live in my truck part of each year while I'm on the road. I know guys who have been living in their vehicles for years, one guy for nearly two decades.


Yep. My family spends ~2 months a year living in our VW van, travelling to various climbing areas.

Though I do enjoy our time on the road, I also really enjoy coming back to my home.
