The van might be ok for sleeping, but where do you socialize, cook, and eat after the hunt. You need living space to stretch out and relax.

I used to know this Macedonian guy who camped in his van in his younger days, he told me he made a big fire every evening and heated a big old rock in the fire and after he got it real hot he managed to some how get it into the back of his van and claims that it kept him toasty warm all night. Might work for you and you would be saving the environment in the process.

Is that how you heat your home, a hot rock? If not you might not be very environmentally conscious, lol.

Seriously though, why would you pick on someone for burning 3 liters of gas twice a day? Should you not be out screaming to the people in Toronto about all the concrete and asphalt they are treading on? Consider for a moment that for every 3 km of of single lane consumes 10K litres of fuel to make and place, do the math. What of our semi PM's flights around the world, have you chastised him for his fuel usage?

Well the story of the Macedonian guy is true but I don't think you managed to "get my sense of humor" so I was not picking on anybody. I have not said anything about Toronto or our beloved Prime Minister flying around the World on the nation's business no more than I have mentioned Erin O Toole, but we will not have to worry about Erin as nobody appears to want to invite him any where around the world.

My dad trapped the area south of Algonquin park when he was young - late 1930s early 1940's. He lived out of a wall tent during the winter but sometimes if he was out on his trapline and wouldn't make it back to his camp, he would overnight on the trail. That was how he kept warm. Big fire on a rock, put the fire out and curl up in his hudson bay blanket on the hot rock. One night he didn't sweep it clean enough and set his blanket on fire.

There’s a scene in the movie called Jeremiah Johnson where Robert Redford and Will Greer bury hot coals in the ground and sleep over them. Redford wakes up in the middle of the night with his blanket on fire.

I feel like if you have to make people understand you're joking then it wasn't a very good joke.
