Just because you pull up to Jumbo Rocks and snag some families unused parking spot on their camp site in your $65k Sprinter build out or camp by the crag on the weekends in your dodge doesn’t make you a dirtbag. Quite to the contrary your Instagram lifestyle it makes you ass pain. This guy was dirtbagging and from the looks he’s been doing it for a long time now. Hopefully the little given got him to some good rock and he probably crashed on that pad harder than a pebble puller

That might be the first ever situation I'd actually give to a panhandler.

If you work hard and save money, you can own a Sprinter, too. Don't be jealous.

Was that guy a climber or did he just lift the pad?

Why does everyone assume that everyone in a van build out thinks they're dirtbags? I know several people in builds and none of them identify this way?

I know a few who would not identify themselves as dirtbags. The sprinter is a really convenient way to be very comfortable anywhere they go. Don't pay for hotels for a few years, sell when they have kids. It works out for them. No dirtbag identity included

Why are so many as hats like the OP hating on camper Van's. What makes that tool okay for boondocking in a pickup truck but I am a pain for doing the same thing in my 06 sprinter that I just happened to put a shit ton of work into to make it nice. Too many mean jealous people in this world.

Too many mean jealous people in this world. This. Dude with IPA belly in the photo looks like the uses the pad to sleep on. Fun to romanticize homelessness to fit your view of the world! Some of us don't live vanlife cuz trustfund, it's a place to live cuz rents is too damn high!

The only true dirt bagging is being legitimately homeless.
Anyone with capabilities of even posting on the web is the furthest away from dirt bagging as is mathematically and scientifically possible. Dirt bagging means you're getting a significant portion of your food out of dumpsters behind restaurants and grocery stores.

Dirt bagging in a sprinter is as real as back stepping in rope management.

Can be seen posing for photos in any outdoor activity since their career is “social media influenced”. Tacoma= Flatbrimmed CaliBros who are the Chads of climbing. Can be seen lurking climbing gyms near your local college for any girl in Yoga pants or other friends that look exactly like them. Subaru= Think people with vans or Tacoma’s are destroying the planet, justify their AWD for the .5” of snow they get in their hometown. Wear homemade tyedye and listen to only Phish.

Saving money by living in a decked out camper van is a joke seeing how I pay less than 2k a month living in LA County. Even if I paid 2k a month that’s that’s 24k a year. Judging by the average prices you see just on MP alone you aren’t saving money on a Van. I also don’t have to maintain my house and hope it never gets wrecked by a dear or throws a belt. To address “boondocking” whatever that means, I’ll assume it’s what y’all call “stealth camping” I don’t do that because I’m an adult and pay for my campsites or sleep on BLM land. The Tacoma was the better choice seeing how I can off-road with it and actually fit down trails without worrying about tree branches destroying the top. I do love the Tacoma stereo types above because they fit pretty well aside from the flat brim hat. Rolled brim keeps the sun out of my eyes.

To be fair, if you end up living in a van for 3+ years, then you would be saving money since most vans I’ve seen sell on here were for under $72k, or $24k a year. Also, a simple buildout can be done easily for under $24k if you know what you’re doing.
