What is your setup like?

Foam matt? Power converter? Etc..

Sleep in the campershell often when exploring the wilderness

Yes Indeed!
Florabama in college. I was grateful to unlock it, much less drive it somewhere. Friend passed out on the beach. I made it to the car.

1) Yes/No?

Yes

2) Reason: Exploration or Financial?

The situation at those particular times called for it. Sometimes financial, sometimes stupid.

3) Length of Time: Number of days/nights?

Longest was two nights.

4) Comfort: How did you make the best of it?

---

Comfort was never high on the list. You just dealt with it.

One of the best times, I saw a friend in the parking lot after classes our freshman year. One asked the other, "What are your plans this weekend?". "Don't really have any, we should go to Florida".

Well, six hours later we're in Destin or Ft. Walton or whatever. And with what little money we had (we had even less cares in the world) was not going to be spent on a hotel room.

So we stayed at the beach and slept in the car.

Ironically, we saw some people we knew that offered us the floor of their room, of which we declined.

The ride back that Sunday, we were some crisp, foul smelling fools.

Yes of course.

The longest time being about 30 days. Mainly financial but all of my own doing.

I was maybe 20? shite it was a breeze

Yup, 3 times I can think of off hand.

Once in the middle of nowhere Idaho. Was in a tiny arse Chevy Aveo hatchback rental car, would not recommend, even with the seats cranked back. Had a sleeping bag though, good thing too since it was cold. Slept maybe 5 hours.

2nd time was on a roadtrip with a buddy in a WalMart parking lot. Too cheap to get a hotel that night lol. Got maybe 3 or 4 hours sleep.

3rd was a drive up to the Smokies. Left after work, got into Smokemount at midnight, said f pitching a tent since I needed to be up at Clingmans Dome before sunrise. Just drove the rest of the way up and slept in the car 4 or 5 hours.

Everytime was cold and a bit cramped but I had my sleeping bag and only needed to grab a few hours. I'd only want to do it a night or 2 in a row, tops.

No, and I’ve also never slept with my dog

Yes, if you ever duck hunted public in the state of LA there is a good chance that you have slept in your car and also slept with your dog.

Rule #7 you're always responsible for your own sleeping arrangement. All of the time, when i'm out hunting, had a few too many, early start to events, the back seat of my truck fits a single air mattress, i keep one, sheets, blankets and pillows in a tote in the back.

1) Yes

2)Drunk at pasture parties and was not driving

3)Single nights on various occasions of pasture parties

4) had a 95 4runner in high school. fold the back seats down and it slept like a dream. Never did it in the summertime.
