    How do you spend your free time?

    I walk so much more when I am out, and love the break from tv, phone, and computer. I like to tidy up every day and keep things put away. I love to sit in a sunny spot and read. At night if I can have a fire that is the centerpiece of the evening plus lots of long conversations. If it is...

    Porta Potty

    I have one and I really like it. When we are out in the wilds we just dig a shallow hole under it and then cover when we leave. I like it because it is sturdy and comfy and folds flat. Also if my grandkids are with me they are more comfortable using it. Wipe off with antibactirial wipes and stow...

    I have a VAN!

    I just saw your picture of ribs, they looked fantastic. (I haven't been on computer for awhile) I have the stacking, round, black enamelware pans and they are great for making a meal. I usually throw a couple canning jars of water in there too. Makes for great tea or cleanup water. A friend...

    I have a VAN!

    Blueberry muffins, yum! I love my solar oven. I bought it last summer and got to use it alot because it was my first summer off in many years. Brown rice, baked potatoes, ribs, chocolate cake, and more, more,more. It is so satisfying to use and make something amazing to eat using free power. If...

    I have a VAN!

    The man we bought it from is in his late 70's and in a wheelchair/ crutches. He was a mechanic by trade. He sold it because he was having trouble getting the wheel chair in and out. He bought a shorty bus that transported seniors to make another rv. And he lived in the coolest Trailways bus he...

    I have a VAN!

    I am so low on the tec scale, I don't have a way to do pics. It has a raised roof, so can stand in the center. Over cab storage, double bed with porta potty and dresser built in. Small one basin sink with pump for water, builtin microwave, and small removeable table. Three cupboards high up and...

    I have a VAN!

    My husband found a 1978 Ford van with a new engine, brakes, tires, and more. He got the price down and bartered a little. I thought it would be a long time til we found one. It is converted and needs just a few tweaks to make "our nest". Can not wait to go to the coast in it. We are still a ways...

    new here and love solar for my RV

    So interesting. I have a generator on my rv that is used in summer and the noise is not part of the peacefulness I am seeking. Very seldom turn it on. Have a solar panel to install when I get my van. The passiveness of free solar (after investment) is so sweet. Thanks for sharing this info.

    Pots and Pans for Solar Oven

    I have found granite ware pans to work amazing in the solar oven. A double stacking set came with my oven and has a granite ware lid. It is about the size of a two 2 quart casseroles. They are light and super easy to wash up. I can cook veggies in one and meat in the other. I usually throw a...
