Although I'm late to this, I just want to say very nice thread Bri.&nbsp; I've been here reminded about staying positive and how important that is, as well as staying kind.&nbsp; Very useful.&nbsp; Have decided to TRY to stay away from political subjects as they get too hurtful, even with those...

Hi sid,<br /><br />I'm so sorry that things are tough right now.&nbsp; I definitely know what you mean!&nbsp; Do you have Google Earth on your system?&nbsp; If you do, or if you would be willing to download it, there are some layers that folks have put together that show different types of...

Hi David,<br /><br />I saw the pics of your van when you started and what you've accomplished, and I must say that it looks quite nice!&nbsp; Well done.&nbsp; And pickles!!!&nbsp; Makes me homesick for the bread and butters I did NOT make this year.&nbsp; Your dills looked wonderful.&nbsp; I...

I recommend cultivating one pointed focus, a zen thing.&nbsp; You are not the pain.&nbsp; The pain and itching is an illusion.&nbsp; The mosquito is a trick of the monkey mind.&nbsp; There is no mosquito.&nbsp; What mosquito?<br /><img src="/images/boards/smilies/biggrin.gif" alt=""...

I'm in Florida, and in our first home here I used an old school bus as my art studio.&nbsp; It was parked under and between some live oaks so that it was always in the shade.&nbsp; I spent a lot of time in it in the summer because it was cooler than in the house with the clunker AC unit.&nbsp...

IGBT,<br /><br />80% on rent IS pretty bad, but it is the way that many are forced to live, as landlords raise rents and businesses do not raise wages.<br /><br />I remember living in Santa Fe, NM in the mid-90s.&nbsp; My husband worked in an art gallery, and I worked for a construction firm as...

SoulRaven,<br /><br />I hear you on the space issue.&nbsp; I'm enough of a baking nut (not necessarily in that order) to want the abilities that come with regular temps.&nbsp; But I've seen your photo with the van in back, and I can see that space would be the issue for you.&nbsp; The Coleman...

Hi SoulRaven,<br /><br />If you haven't bought it yet, you might look at this one:<br /><a href="http://www.stpaulmercantile.com/index.php?action=store&amp;item=Oven">St. Paul mercantile oven</a><br /><br />Only my opinion, but I've owned the Coleman oven for many years, and it's OK and will do...

Hi nooneleft.<br /><br />Welcome!<br /><br />Please keep us updated on what you are doing and where you are, when you can.&nbsp; I'd love more input on 'rough camping' by folks who are doing that.&nbsp; Will you have a bike or another mode of transport?

After doing some really obsessive browsing&nbsp;<img src="/images/boards/smilies/biggrin.gif" alt="" align="absmiddle" border="0" /> I got onto the teardrops and tiny travel trailers forum (tnttt.com) and saw a thread for 'foamies'.<br /><br />These are TTs that are made of multiple layers of...

A teardrop at 200#????&nbsp; Wow!&nbsp; Mine weighted in at 550 and that was stripped to bare bones!&nbsp; <br /><br />I'd love to see a pic.&nbsp; I can't imagine that just the bare trailer would be much less than that.&nbsp; I don't suppose he has a blog, Bri?&nbsp; <img...

Hi Jack,<br /><br />When I mentioned fiberglass trailers, I wasn't talking about things like Casitas.&nbsp; I was talking about the kind of little trailer you can see at Harbor Freight or some other places:&nbsp; a motorcycle cargo trailer.&nbsp; sorry if I didn't use the correct words - that...

If you are trailering just for storage, there are some modern fiberglass trailers that are very light, are designed to be towed by a motorcycle, and thus may be worth looking into for your smaller Toyota engine.&nbsp; Just a thought.<br /><br />PS - I used to have a Toyota dolphin RV.&nbsp; Miss...

Hi,<br /><br />I can only talk about my own experiences in a ford focus wagon towing a teardrop trailer.&nbsp; The 'official' position on that is no towing, as well.&nbsp; But the specs on the car gave 1000 lbs max towable.&nbsp; Have you looked at the specs of your Toyota?&nbsp; <br /><br />The...

Vitamix!!!&nbsp; My husband and I used to do the Whole Life Expos for our little biz, and we made friends with the folks that were selling the Vita-Mixes.&nbsp; You see the same folks over and over at these kinds of Fairs.&nbsp; Anyway, every day, Dave knew the exact time that the Vitamix People...

Lots of detractors of hammocks on this site.&nbsp; But they are a maritime tradition and many people in 'other' cultures use them as their bed of choice.&nbsp; I'm told the key to sleeping in a hammock in a cold climate is to put a couple layers of egg crate foam or a down comforter beneath you.

One of my best friends just told me she is getting married!&nbsp; Yay!&nbsp; She is almost 70 years old.&nbsp; I must make her a quilt, but I think that since this is her 4th marriage (!) I'll bypass the Wedding Ring.&nbsp; I'm thinking a nice Log cabin - keeping those ol' home fires burning...

Very spiffy!&nbsp; I like your navigator.&nbsp; <img src="/images/boards/smilies/smile.gif" border="0" align="absmiddle">
