A thing you won’t realise about #homelessness and living out of your car is the damp & mold.

Not necessarily a problem in summer because the car can dry out during the day. But, late autumn & winter…

Over a cold night condensation can form on the inside of all my windows because I’m a warm breathing body. This condensation can cause the fabrics in the car to get damp that simply won’t dry during the day.

The advice is to sleep with a window cracked open…🧵

🧵… #homelessness The advice is to sleep with a window cracked open, but I’ve two problems with that.

1. On different occasions I had bird-eating sized huntsmen spiders get into my car.

Though Tasmania/Lutruwita isn’t so bad with mosquitoes, etc. Those spiders really scared the 🤬 out of me.

2. The temperature is starting to drop below 10 degrees overnight. An open window in summer is nice but it’s horrid if there’s a high wind, or frost, warning on my little weather app.

So, am sleeping 🧵

@FromTheLuckyCountry summers no good. If you let too many mozzies in you have to do something to flush them all out. And by midday the car is roasting, so you have to find undercover carparks to hide in. Shade isn't half as good as undercover car parks.
@rood I agree about the heat and the need for underground and undercover parking (even with a Tassie/true summer - we’re supposed to be the coldest state, right?) I’m firmly in the ‘plant a tree’ camp, now 😂
@FromTheLuckyCountry plant a tree - right next the car park ya bastards - camp?
@rood 😂 yes! Anywhere and everywhere! 😂
