    Sine or Modified Sine Inverter?

    My household electric blanket will not run on MSW so a pure it is for me. I have a roof full of solar and need my blankie on and off throughout the night if it is even chilly (my arthritis DEMANDS heat) so my off brand 2,000W/4,000W runs all the time. I don't stress the ghost load. As for wire...

    a non electric slow cooker

    I have food in a "hay box" on my bed as I write this. Its any old pot with a proper fitting lid, well insulated. I have been known to strap a bundle into a spare seat with a belt and arrive with cooked food even in a car. If I post a picture on FB of my pillows in a pile my friends ask what's...

    Hoping to go full time in canada/usa

    I also do the annual migration from Canada to the southern USA. I am a Canadian, also on disability. I "live" in BC. I don't know of any specific Canadian forums, we are represented on most rv forums out there. I'd be happy to chat although I am rarely here. Feel free to email me...

    Traveling with a long gun: legal everywhere?

    I am glad you both found it easy to legally transport you long guns through Canada. I did read your blog post Van Tramp...a note of general caution to others ...attempting to deceive border guards is never a good idea!

    Texas gulf coast for winter?

    I was a bit further north just South of Galveston Island in the winter of 13/14 & it was nice. A bit humid for my tastes but lots of nice places. Great people!

    Traveling with a long gun: legal everywhere?

    Book hunts are the magic words there, part of that package is helping you with the paperwork. You can bring them but get all the right forms & pay all the fees and present yourself to a border authority, oh...make a copy of the forms because the border won't give you a copy but don't sign them...

    Paper Plates vs. Hard Plates?

    The maggots die from the 3 minute boiling & you know it Willy! For such an awesome human who is currently on my roof hooking up solar...you can be I tad discussing! Dear mods...I read this aloud to Willy so you don't need to worry, he has no feelings! ***He is actually like the younger...

    The Purge: over the hump...

    Even on the road with no additional storage purging is a regular process for me. I am a scrounger, I hate waste & I am sure I will eventually need a left handed swizzel stick!! I am a regular contributor to our monthly community 'free pile' here. In Quartzsite I met a great bunch of women...

    Traveling with a long gun: legal everywhere?

    If you are thinking of bringing a gun to Canada...the easy answer is just don't! Seriously though, you can bring most simple long guns but there is paperwork & fees out the wazoo. It's recommended if you are going through to Alaska that it's simpler to crate & ship them than the bs at the...

    Hey camp chefs, what's cooking?

    Even my mini van I cooked regular food. A decent sized frying pan & a good sized general pot is really all one NEEDS. I don't live that simplistic anymore as I am in a C with a full kitchen but a friend I camp with who's full-timed 32 years consecutive now (that's our Willy!) has just that...
