Funny, I went to buy a bottle of the seasoning yesterday and they stopped carrying it..

Hi Compassrose.... That is true. It's all or nothing. I really have only needed a trickle to thaw things though so it's not a problem for me. There is an adjustment (set screw I think) to adjust the water pressure needed to turn the gas on. I fiddles with mine and it works fine but you are...

It seems pretty even. I do not have mine set on the maximum heat since I am not mixing it with cold water to get the desired temp. The way the heater is designed it cools off just about as quickly as it heats up when you shut the water down. I haven't had any scalding blasts but honestly, I...

Hi all, I thought that I would share my experience with the Eccotemp camp shower that I am using as a whole house hot water heater. I am using it in my tiny house but I wish that I had one when I was van living.....it would have been much better than the Zodi shower that I had. First of all I...

This is the first flush diverter that I made for my water system. The downspout from the gutter system goes into a T fitting with a cylinder beneath it that holds about 3 gallons of water. there is a rubber ball inside the vertical cylinder that floats up as it fills, finally capping the the top...

Here's a good one... Chicken Yakatori...street chicken. This one goes on the grill. In a ziplok bag combine boneless skinless chicken thighs, 1 cup of pineapple juice, .5 cups of soy sauce, teaspoon of hot pepper flake, some chopped green onions, a chopped up bell pepper, and 3 tablespoons of...

Hi Vickie, That's the one. A dash of that ends up on about everything I cook. Try sauteing some fresh baby spinach in olive oil and garlic with a touch of it too.....really good. I am going to post some more 1 pot meals that i used to do in the van soon. I had some great ones that went a long...

I always carried a bucket with a screw-top omega lid with me...below are some of the uses..... Dry Storage while rafting. Seat. Shower water with my Zodi outback toilet (double lined with HD garbage bags) ottoman full of water used as an anchor for my awning in high winds flipped over for...

Hi all, So I am not very active here but having lived in a van full time for 3 years I thought some of you might appreciate a very simple chicken dish that goes a long way. One thing I ran into was eating crap food on the road (packaged noodles, canned food, etc.) and if I were to do it again...

Howdy Offroad.. I have not been too active in the local groups. I mean to but I always seem to be doing something else....like working on the house! I have been keeping a construction journal and I plan to compile it into a book about living small and off grid. It would be neat to share and...

soooo...It has been a long time since I have posted but I thought I would share what has been going on. I have been in the house full time for a couple of years now..including last winter which was brutal. The house is now fully self contained and off grid. My power comes from 4 solar panels...

I have been working on the house the last few days. Insulation is in...wood stove is in....propane heater is purchased and ready to be plumbed. I am laying on a borrowed futon, listening to the wind howl and staring at my little inside/outside digital thermometer....64.4 inside.......22.4 out...
