 There are many blessings and victories in van life;  this article is not about that.  It's about the various ways to fail, to skin our knees, to waste money, time, and resources.
+===== fantasy =====
+For whatever reason, vandwelling attracts a high percentage of daydreamers, naifs, and people looking for magical cures for whatever ails them.
+People who have a good chance at successful 'dwelling are:
+  * people who have camped or backpacked and liked it
+  * people who are self-motivated
+  * people who are disciplined
+  * people who can figure things out for themselves
+  * people who know basic cooking
+People who are probably doomed to failure are:
+  * "high maintenance"
+  * stoners, daydreamers, idiots
+  * people who can't or won't take care of themselves
+  * the easily bored
+  * people who need constant excitement, crowds, "action"
+  * picky eaters
