You wouldn't want to have top heavy or tall plants in a mobile environment, but there's no reason you couldn't try and grow salad greens and the like. There might be issues with something like wind...

http://www.truckfarm.org/ A neat website I came across. Not mine but some cool ideas none the less.

This post may help other people. I didn't really find a thread specifically on sleep apnea. If you need a cpap machine, having an A/C setup may not always work out. Transcend came up with a travel machine that runs on battery packs, and can be charged via solar...

I agree that sleep apnea is the likely cause. Could be something like your head oriented badly, despite being being comfy. Sleep study is the easiest way to figure out if you need a machine.

You can use tight bungie cords as a cheap option for book cases. But I agree with everyone else on rubbermaid bins or milk crates

Check tow yards too. Some older trucks had these. My old '83 F-150 had one mounted on it and its now a farm truck.

Actually I find people who 'prep' by beefing up a vehicle with guns and armor a little ridiculous. Unless your stock piling fuel, your going to be screwed. Its one of the first things that would disappear when SHTF.

Pick up some echinacea supplements to help boost your immune system. And take a regular vitamin supplement.

Your vehicle has to be well insulated, and you'll have to invest in a proper heater and fuel for the winter months. Layering will only go so far before you get miserable and opt'd for living in a hotel for 4 months. To keep yourself busy, get some cross country skies, snowshoes or take up...

They tried it on Top Gear. Didn't work out so well http://www.footytube.com/video/jeremys-co2-greenhouse-top-gear-bbc-73353

I wouldn't be able to do this myself but I thought it might be cool to see if someone with welding knowledge, and some time, wanted to do this. Essentially you cut off part of the roof and remove the rear doors from a van. You still have access from the sliding door(s). Put in a new frame that...

Unless you plan to have a hidden cache somewhere, this could be difficult to do. Your vehicle probably has all spare room used up. And the whole point is to travel light. I'd make a list of your commonly used items. Think stuff like stick matches, toilet paper, etc.. See what you need. Likely...

If you are in Canada, I find the best program is the Canadian Tire Options Mastercard. All purchases earn Canadian Tire money, Fuel being the best because the rewards multipliers are automatically applied. Just keep paying off the card so you don't get interest payments. I used to get $30-40...

Its a good link. Gives people ideas they might not have thought of themselves for personal conversions.
