I wish the states of CA, OR, WA, and ID would get together in the class action suit against the Federal gobmint for their rotten forest management practices. A good lawyer could make millions on that and retire to a million $$$ home on a high mountain top in the woods. Hint, hint ...

Good to see that lightning bugs are still around. I hope they have warm coats for the Wisconsin winter. Good thing we don't get -40F here in high desert paradise. BTW, I put in a plug for your build on this thread, a guy with a special ergonomic requirement ...

The article linked mentioned that one reason for better stats is "doctors have developed standardized treatments". Anyone know about this? On the plus side, the article indicates that "mask-wearing may be helping by reducing the initial dose of virus a person receives, thereby lessening the...

Is it the power company that was the cause of the Slater fire?

Good for you. It always pays to have a Plan-B.

OP requirements: should be ergonomic need to be able to use it for min. 5h 5 days a week. With my back, I need a real chair to sit in while working at the computer for 5 hours. The deck chair isn't ideal, but I put some extra cushioning on it. I should get a more ergonomic chair. The nice thing...

You have 2 choices on how to do a van build. You can either fill it up with so much furniture and cabinets that you cannot turn around, and which is what the vast majority of people who make youtube videos do, or you can design for as much open floor space as you can get, in which case there is...

Please post them, Sophia.

I have a van, but if I were starting over, I would get a 4x4 pickup truck, probably diesel for good mileage, plus some sort of trailer. Then I could setup camp and go about exploring off the beaten track. I would put a topper on the pickup, and have the basic necessities in there for camping...

What we do know is, the pandemic is getting worse every day in this country, with no end in sight. Most people who get the virus have minor issues, but 1 person in 7 either dies (death rate is 1 in 35) or has serious health problems that will last for months, if not indefinitely. So that's one...

Oops, I posted that prematurely. The rest of the story is ... I have a GMC Savana, regular length van. I've spent 3 years revising the build, each time to give myself more open floor space. I do a lot of computer work in the van, mainly programming. For that I bought a very nice wooden computer...

Hello Nature, and welcome to the forum, :-). Sofi has some pictures of her build which I like quite a bit, in full disclosure, no doubt because it is similar to my own. Bed across the back and a large work surface along the driver's side...

I was in panic that the bubble bee would panic, and beat its little head against the balcony door window trying to get out. But nice to know they're still around. Got any fire flies? I've not seen on since I was a kid.

The lead in to your butterfly joke got de-storyed frog. I can't remember the last time I saw one. Where are they anymore? And strangely, I'd not seen a real bumblebee for many years (decades ??), but a couple of weeks ago one flew into the front room through a barely opened balcony door. It...

Alternative scenario. A large percentage of people get infected but show no symptoms. Between 25% and as much as 90% in some cases. So it's certainly possible someone could have picked up the virus anytime between last March, when it went exponential in the US, and now, and never knew it. So...

You'll notice I was advocating "Being Prepared" like the Boy Scouts said, which is good advice any day of the week, and not quite the same as being a SHTF Survivalist, although I can see why some people might feel that way right now. And I don't blame them either. The life you save might be your...

Moe here (and that's my "true" name), but I don't know what "you" want me to do. OTOH, every knowledgeable doctor is telling us the same thing to do every day in the meantime. It's not rocket science, even Curly can understand it. Unfortunately, Larry is dead.

Wow, if only I were so well equipped. Not to mention everybody else. Where can I buy land mines? I'll feel much better with a secure perimeter.

FWIW, I've been taking Vitamin-D. That's what Mr-T switched to after they took him off hydroxychloroquine. And the guy is healthy as a horse. [/URL]

Being prepared is about one thing .... being prepared. Those of us who have literally spent "years" of our life in the back country and lived to tell about it. understand what that means.
