The Hundred Rabbits crew—and others, to be sure—achieve considerable independence by living on a boat. I've been wondering if there are other ways to get a taste of this kind freedom from everyday material constraints (i.e., having to make rent).
Last week I saw an article about a couple living in a customized van. At 72 square feet, I think this Ram ProMaster has a smaller volume than the Hundred Rabbits boat. Doesn't sound nearly as romantic. Similar minimalistic ethos though.

I spent some time in a big RV early this century. Campgrounds are not cheap, unless you are boondocking in which case you need to deal with lack of power and water. We have better batteries these days, but it stops being fun quickly.
'vanlife' was not a thing back then, most RVer were elderly and not particularly interesting. I wonder what the scene is these days. I have a Ford Transit Connect with a pop-top tent, but only camped out a handful of times...
