my diy truck camper parked at a rest area on the road


Hey Everyone!

I’m Nate. Welcome to Element Life (formerly Element Van Life).

This journey started for me in 2016 when I decided to live out of my Honda Element Camper. Since then, I’ve been living alternatively in various different campers and off-grid locations.

This site and the Element Life YouTube Channel are dedicated to my goal of living a simple, alternative, and minimalist lifestyle. I truly believe that living with less can be the key to making our dreams a reality.

Follow along for van life, tiny living, off grid, travel, and more!
