    Skyrocketing fuel costs have van lifers concerned. Here are 5 reasons why this may be the BEST thing to happen to your van life dream.

    Absolutely, totally agree! We are in effect making the same argument. They SAY that they are shutting our production down based on the long term environmental concerns (that I also see as a hoax), yet they seem to be too thick headed to realize the truth: Shut ours down, buy from (insert...

    Needful Things (Stealing a title from Stephen King)

    Hey, that looks pretty handy! Where did you buy it?

    going nuts

    Cool! You now have a real place to get started! Just a few days ago I sold my Jeep Patriot, which I had given up on using due to its small size and my inability to find any suitable changes that would help. In the meanwhile, I bought a much older vehicle with a portion of the proceeds...

    thinking about getting a new skill

    Curious to know whether you are wanting a full or part-time "stay in one area" gig, something seasonal or maybe something else possibly, that you can "carry the ability in your hip pocket" and take along anywhere you travel... to be used just when you want or need the income? Whatever skill...

    we need a dating site

    Well, I don't have an oar in the water here, but just couldn't stand not replying either... ;-) If you've ever been in a "southern honky-tonk" at the last call and closing time... it's a fact that alcohol fueled bleary eyes and "urges" care not a whit about beauty, shape or much of anything...

    How did you end up on the road, and why are you still here?

    Fixing small engine equipment... I assume a stick and brick business rather than the class C? Before retirement a few years ago, I had spent a large portion of my working life either working on or selling parts for power equipment of all types, including a stint as a Briggs & Stratton rep...

    Jeep Patriot... and getting nowhere fast

    Here's a little update since I first joined the forum a few years ago. At the time, I had an older Chrysler Town & Country van that wasn't road worthy at all and couldn't economically be made road worthy. Too many years, too many miles, too many problems. It would have probably sufficed to do...

    What's the cleanest, cheapest, most minimal eating I can do?

    Hummm... that's a new one for me and I'm truly clueless. Please fill me in on SCP veggies.

    What's the cleanest, cheapest, most minimal eating I can do?

    REDACTED Veggies! Oh No! I can't speak for the cooked canned variety, which requires a LOT of label reading at the least, but the majority of >uncooked< frozen veggies found in supermarkets are flash frozen and every bit as healthy as what you'd buy at a farmers market. In fact, I just made an...

    What's the cleanest, cheapest, most minimal eating I can do?

    Clean and cheap... As someone else mentioned, if you don't consider boiling water to be "cooking", then adding some diced, then boiled potatoes will go a LONG way and are both healthy and filling. Also in that same vein, frozen vegetables are not only very healthy, but also very affordable...

    Thought I'd say howdy...

    Howdy crofter and thanks for the welcome and input! Heh.. I already live in a fairly rural area here in N.E. Oklahoma, up on a ridge or hilltop with a great view and a mile of gravel between the cabin and highway. Since you mentioned it though, in colder weather and especially on those with some...

    Thought I'd say howdy...

    Howdy folks! ...There, I did it! Thought I'd put a few words together to introduce myself. I've registered here and sometimes go by DeeCeeDoc, but in real life, I'm a David and definitely not a "Doc". (Confused yet? ...long story) Anyway, I ran across some of Bob's material three or so years...
