    Women Only: Wardrobe what have you learned!

    Thank you! I do have Medicare plus a secodary insurance. Never thought of it being a medical problem. Going to check with my doctor next visit. Can't tell you how many times I have said "I just wish I could get them cut off!" In the meantime will have to learn to be comfortable for myself and...

    Women Only: Wardrobe what have you learned!

    :huh: Okay, Ladies, going to jump in here and risk embarrassing myself with what may sound like a silly issue, but it's a big one for me. I'm an elderly lady who is large and I have large breasts. They long ago gave in to gravity and are no longer where they are supposed to be! Can't wear bras...

    Losing the battle with ice in my cooler

    "Shelf stable nut milks (must be consumed soon after opening)" I buy shelf stable almond milk in individual (maybe 8 oz?) sizes. My store carries them in a pack of 4. No waste.

    Comfort vs. freedom.

    I'm not a Vandweller yet; just a wannabe. I've been reading the forum and watching the Utube videos for about a year. I have a 3' thick three-ring binder on tips, information, and ideas for creating the nomad life. First of all, comfort vs freedom doesn't have to be that black and white. If you...

    A Women's RTR!

    I'd love to hear about all of the subjects you list, but if I had to choose the most important to me it would be the following, especially the mentoring after RTR, which could include setting up a tent. - Mentoring after RTR. Matching up an experienced vandweller with a newbie for a short...

    Medical and dental care in Mexico

    Thanks! Yes, it has a seat and I have a cushion tied on to it. It has saved my butt many times! I'm more concerned with how far the walk is. Even with a walker I get pretty winded after a while (COPD.)

    Medical and dental care in Mexico

    Can you give me an idea how far the walk is? Is the surface paved all the way? I would probably be using a walker. Can you cross the border carrying portable oxygen? What if I have to drive, is there easily accessible and adequate parking? Please give the coordinates for the margaritas. I'll...

    What did you have to give up that you miss the most?

    The other thing I'm going to miss a lot is my kitchen. I love to cook and bake, and not being able to do that is going to be hard for me. I'm looking at videos on how to bake over a fire, like making cornbread in an iron skillet. Of course, you don't get that nice, brown top crust, but it's...

    WOMEN ONLY: Setting up tent at RTR and staying for Women's RTR

    The wind and the cold we have experienced in the desert in the past few weeks have changed my mind about trying to come with a tent. One of the gals I follow on Utube had to give up on the tent and her shower tent (at Ehrenberg) and is staying in her car. I don't have a car so don't have the...
