When PhotoBucket decided to screw its long time members by closing their accounts and insisting on a $400 annual membership fee to reopen them, I lost several years of photos, as well as all of the photos from my original build-thread.  Buttheads.   Oh sure, I still have the pictures, but some...

It's funny how every back is different.  I have DDD too, but curving my back to the shape of a hammock spells certain death for me.   Unless I were to lay on my stomach.   :P

Sounds like fun, but given the insane cost of ammo these days, firing a machine gun could get expensive fast!  :s

Every time somebody suggests sleeping in a hammock, my lower back hurts.  :P I'd wake up in agony if I slept the night in one.  That's a very unnatural position to put your spine in.  No support at all.

Does YouTube count? If so, I routinely listen to old radio shows from the 40's like Sam Spade, Escape, Lights Out, Mystery Theater, "Richard Diamond - Private Detective" and X Minus 1.   :P If you don't have Internet, you can always download them when you do and listen later.  They also...

I just don't use plates or bowls. I eat my food straight out of the pan / pot I cooked or prepared it in. Less to wash that way.

RollingOM.  I know exactly how you feel.   I have no issues sleeping on BLM land or at a highway rest area, but I just can't get comfortable when I try to sleep on the side of a street, residential or commercial.   I can't stop thinking that someone is going to call the police and I'm going to...

That was going to be my question to this thread: How long before they start falling apart, even when separating solids and liquids?   In the past I've used one of those Camco flushable camp toilets with the 5 gallon holding tank and 3 gallon water tank.  For the most part I really like them...

Thank you, FS, that is exactly the sort of answer I was looking for. Much appreciated!

Thanks again for the link, Weight, but I'm an Electrical Retard.  I need something I can plug directly into my CC with a single wire/plug and be done with it.   I was just wondering at what point charge controllers come on and allow power to reach the battery.   Im sure there's variables to...

That's not what I'm saying at all.   I'm saying I don't know if I'm getting free, passive energy or not.  I use the battery in the van so little, I'm not sure my charge controller is ever turning on, allowing power from the panel, through the cc, and into the battery.   I really have no way of...

Backstory: I've got a 190 Watt Monocrystoline panel, a 15 Amp MPPT charge controller, and a 75 Amp hour, Group 24, AGM battery under my hood.   The Group 24 was the largest I could fit under the hood, and, due to very limited space in a TC, I didn't want to run 2 batteries.   Thing is, I never...

I found a pretty entertaining story on Reddit about a guy who was hunted by meth heads while at Slab City.   It's not a video, so it won't use a lot of data, but it's a very looooong read.  Fun though, if a bit scary.   The reader comments suggest that it's a bogus story.  Still fun to read...

If traveling in the middle of nowhere, like an area where breaking down would likely result in your death and not just an inconvenience, is a common part of your travels... I'd suggest getting one of these. ---->...

Mods.  Can I get this thread deleted? I no longer have a PhotoBucket account and I'm waaaay past the time limit for editing threads anyway, so this one is worthless.   I can't replace my photos, and this thread is useless without them.   Is there any way for individual users to access their...

Since heat rises, I much prefer a heated mattress pad with a heavy blanket to cover my body and trap the rising heat.   :) We used to have a member who had the 12 Amazon pad, and he gave it rave reviews...

What about a butane stove?  How does that differ from propane if / when being used for heat?   I recently tested a new cooking pan on my butane camp / hiking stove (in my apartment kitchen with an open window and the range fan on) and came away with a brutal headache that lasted 36 hours. No...

I live near the area so this is nothing new to me, but it still surprises me that a town like "Shallow Alto" doesn't run those people off. btw... Many of the RV's are owned by people who work in the area but have been priced out of the rental market by the insane housing prices. Crisanto...

Do any states not require a SMOG certificate?

I don't understand.   Are you saying you found out that by law you have to stay within 500' of a bathroom, or that for personal / physical / health reasons you have to stay near a bathroom?
