    Where to get drinking water

    Lol... No I actually only drink the water in coffee and pour it on my head to cool off or wash up. I have 7 pets live with me. Was 8, the 16 yr old heeler passed on. They drink a lot when it's warm. I have gotten free high mountain creek water for 10 years. I am going by what I used last...

    Where to get drinking water

    I am just about to deal with this issue. Need about 25 gallons a week. @ 40 cents at machines that's $40 month. But sometimes you have no choice. The link below is what my local Walmart has and gives you locations and whether they have dispenser in store or outside. Which is a good thing to...

    State Trust Lands

    Eastern New Mexico is a very different state than Albuquerque and west of there. Far more conservative and not so open to vagabonds. Easily seen by the restrictive land use laws. I would be careful over there

    Romance Scams

    I can tell you from being a Dating Site Admin who spent night and day chasing scammers. The fakes with fake photos are not the dangerous ones. They are easily exposed. Most countries as I can attest to are not the least bit interested in prosecuting these people for small sums and the really...

    I moved into the van with a 90lb Pit Bull who although not dangerous to people is after 10 years inside National Forest he is not socially acceptable and as well an escape artist.

    About that 12v DC Refrigerator......

    I bought a $230 Vevor 32gallon 12v fridge... Clearly on the lower end of prices. I chose it because of the metal case... That said 12 months later still works like a charm. It survived 125f (compressor) weather last summer for days. 45 watts, yes much more than a Dometic. 2 Walmart 29 series...

    Hello from NM

    I am from Pittsburgh originally so yeah I get crime thing. I am a bit concerned about the 8000 feet myself. I get disability for severe asthma. But I think hot weather is worse.

    Hello from NM

    Hey.... Yes I agree it can always be an issue. I have lived so called illegally on different properties for the past 30 years. All off grid. This exact area is well known off grid refugee living spot. The Newspaper there did a report on a few people that were harassed living in RV. All were in...

    Hello from NM

    I am awaiting the papers to sign on a piece of property in NM right now. 8050 feet elevation. Maybe good for 6-7 months a year. Then wayyyy too cold. But I am tired of worrying about Govt. The Cop already knows me and does not make me move on right away. But my cover was blown by some logger...

    Water ?

    I have 4 collapsible 5 gallon jugs from Walmart about $9 each. Actually now 3 as 1 popped a leak, I need to replace. I like they collapse. Also I think 6, 1 gallon Primo jugs, they are really the best heavy duty 1 gallon water jugs. Water for the most part comes from the same 2 creeks for the...

    How do you people do it? Having a pet cat

    I am in a Grand Caravan with 6 cats, a 90 lb Pitbull and a 16 yr old blue heeler. They proved to be far more flexible than I expected. I am camped where they can just run loose, but they mostly sleep inside. I load them up when I need to shop, etc. Both places we camp they are fine, but we...

    we need a dating site

    Your personal profile is your advertisement.... By having a site directed at a particular group you already know that you at least have something in common... Like maybe you own a brand new 2022 Mercedes Van Pop Top lol and a 5k month trust check... There is a selling point 😊 From my...

    we need a dating site

    Because forums are rarely private or discreet... On a Dating site you do not have to publicly post and you can post lots more information, photos etc. I think people see posting on a forum, basically advertising yourself can seem a bit desperate.. 8

    we need a dating site

    I have been an admin of a few dating sites. One international with people from over 200 countries. Setting up one is time consuming but not difficult. Monitoring such sites, removing Scammers and spammers and keeping discussions civil can become a full time effort.... This actually was a...
