Go to you tube and search DIY air coolers. You will find a plethora of videos to make your own evaporative/swamp cooler a lot of different designs.I've been most impressed with the "5gall.orange bucket design or the one made with an ice chest . All are much cheaper and easier to make than the...

Ebay can also be a good resource; just as for any online purchase check prices ,shipping and reviews. I 2nd the $1.00 stores too depending on what the item is. Paypal has a new service where you aren't billed until you get your item,14 days I believe.I also prefer to actually see the item before...

Shoot I just loaded up my 4 kittys and a few basic items for them and myself and hit the road in my mini van before I had time to do any serious planning or thought about it! It was the best 3 1/2 weeks I'd had in a very long time.Scared ? I didn't give myself time to get scared and it was a...

When all is said and done Sam's or Costco the same concept some folks prefer one over the other for many different reasons. What one is good at the other not so much and vice versa.Both have decent cheap food in their snack bars.and cheaper fuel prices

Welcome and good luck to you.

Just got a basic Sam's Club membership $45.00/yr. Gas prices are cheaper (same as Costco) but I got a deal with the membership;it came with a $20.00 Sam's gift card so $25.00 for my membership.:)

Hello ! What is the status of the trip? Where would be a good place to meet up? Where can a person pan in the Hillsboro area that wouldn't be trespassing on someone elses claim? Sorry so many questions but I've never gone gold panning... :blush:

You do look comfortable there Bob :shy: ! Thanks to all the advice I have put an order in for the ENo double! I'll let you all know how it works out when it arrives!  :)

I understand being drawn to a particular breed/pet.I grew up on a farm so we always had a dog or 2 and many barn cats.I favor long hair cats /dogs and in the future will add a dog to my fur family :). I only have one concern for you and that is there are so many places that pits and pit crosses...

I sincerely appreciate all the information everyone! I've never even been in a hammock ever so all the input has sold me.Since I have a mini van having a bed would take up a lot of room during the day and a hammock seems so easy to put it up then takedown in the day time.The weather is starting...

I'm curious how it has worked out in your van for sleeping.I'm not a lightweight person lets say >200<250 and I have chronic back issues. I'm wanting to try it out and Im thinking a solid material would be better than ones made from netting.Any suggestions welcomed! :)

LOL gotta love kitty bath time! I'll be doing mine soon also,all 4 of them.I like to get them all bathed on the same day so I only have to clean and bandage my injuries one time that day! the 3 males do have that" gotta be the first to christen the cleaned litter" syndrome and those cheap...

I'm telling my age maybe but I got the best full coverage rate thru AARP /The Hartford and after my first full year the rate dropped by about 25%.

I use a name brand clumping litter it works best for my cats and I've tried clay,pine,newspaper types. It really depends on what works for you and your cat.In a van I do highly recommend a high sided or covered litterbox.

Starting with a few things you should do before taking your kitty on the road. Be sure shots are up to date and your furbaby is also chipped and fixed.Have copys of all vet records made. Get a bright colored harness and a leash at least 4 ft in length Put the harness on kitty and leave it on .It...

I took some mini trips before taking the cats on our long trip.A few hours then over night then a weekend before a 3500 mile round trip.I paid attention to what they did well with and what I needed to change for their comfort and well being on the road. Much better to anticipate problems and...

Ditto on that ,unfortunately my t2 is at this time pill and insulin dependant. I find high protein and lo to no carbs keeps my blood sugars better but I've found stress affects my diabeties more than diet does.Hard to give up the white foods but I found a recipe online for Sweet potato Salad...

Sorry this should be attached  to the above post..... I observe you have added cons to each pro and the cons are separate.From the way I understand you don't see any pros to having a pet.Sad ,but not everyone should have a pet and apparently you are one that shouldn't nor even want a pet. There...

Don't know if feasible for you but think little ie. baby blankets,lap sized. I don't crochet but I have made quilts and using scraps you can get from used clothes.You can make some beautiful patterns.There are small sewing machines and also a lot of quilting is handstitch detail.As far as...
