Thanks for that Suanne! I hope so!&nbsp;<div><br></div><div>I am really curious to hear what you end up doing <img src="/images/boards/smilies/smile.gif" border="0" align="absmiddle"> If I had known about your mad guitar skillz, I would have pestered you to entertain us when we were all at Mom's...

<div><br></div><div>Can't really put a bend in the FRP anywhere near tight enough for a corner like Yamsack will want. It is much too brittle for that. It bends well enough to make the large radius from top to bottom of the van wall, but that is really about as far as a person would want to push...

Another sort of thought or twist on this idea is a sort of cluster concept. Of course there are many areas around the country that have clusters of folks staying more long term like at Quartzsite, slabs, Parumph, etc. Even here in our area (The Olympic Peninsula), there are several vandwellers...

Thanks! That is good information to know <img src="/images/boards/smilies/smile.gif" border="0" align="absmiddle">&nbsp;<div><br></div><div><br></div>

While it may not be as possible to bug out quickly for a specific natural event ,especially given some of the short warnings, it is very helpful to be able to move from various areas before they enter their "Bad Seasons". &nbsp;Much like snowbirding. Most areas of the country have specific times...

We have been getting more and more into it lately and expect that trend to continue. I have been dragging my fly-fishing gear around in the van for years, but this year is the first time I have actually spent some time using it. Heidi wants to start fly fishing too, but for now uses a regular...

<div><br></div><div>My Nephew had a Taylor Travel guitar that was incredibly sturdy and sounded really good given it was made of various composite and veneer type materials. It didn't sound any worse than many average full sized acoustics. The good things about it beyond the size and price...

Heidi has pepper spray with her when she is out away from me, but would never use it around me. We are both pretty careful around it too in the van since it is such a small environment and if the stuff ever got accidentally deployed or the container punctured, I would be in serious trouble. I...

When I did the re-engineering on Taj's bathroom/shower, I used FRP and it came out perfectly. It is very easy to work with. I made templates with construction paper, transferred it to the FRP and cut them with my jig saw. Definitely use the FRP specific glue to mount them. There are plenty of...

Yeah, I feel a lot better right now than I have in a while. Getting out to some target shooting and doing a bit of fly fishing has been good for me! I really need to keep active to stay healthy. Much too easy to sit back and take things easy which doesn't really get the lungs going.. Thanks for...

<div><br></div><div>Hey Suanne, You know, I completely forgot about the carrying and owning/using being two different possible viewpoints ethically which of course it is.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>Like Slowday, my view has changed over the years. I am really not a killer in general. I feel...

</div><div><br></div><div>LOL, You hugged that tree too, I have proof! <img src="/images/boards/smilies/smile.gif" border="0" align="absmiddle"></div><div><br></div><div>You should be proud of what you accomplished! Conquering those fears after your ordeal is an incredible success! I agree with...

This topic looks lonely...I am surprised no one has added anything yet!&nbsp;<div><br></div><div>I am curious as to how many have made the decision to own or not own guns based on a moral or ethical theory. Any input?&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>For me, it has never been about that. I am a...

Yeah, the horses will all be well defended now!! <img src="/images/boards/smilies/smile.gif" border="0" align="absmiddle">&nbsp;<div><br></div><div>She says she wants the full size version just like mine. It feels pretty much perfect to both of us so we are willing to deal with the extra PITA...

</div><div><br></div><div>After my yakking today, I am sure that includes both the US and Canada!&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>Thank You! Seriously, every time I see you "moderating" here, I am impressed with how well you handle it. You are definitely perfect for the job! Keep it up <img...

Hey Bri, Keep the inflection, intent stuff in mind when you read my last post on VDG to you <img src="/images/boards/smilies/smile.gif" border="0" align="absmiddle"> Trust me, I understand it being hard to get feelings across and hope for all the world they are taken the right way. I have been...

Hey Katie, You have been doing a great job of moderating and keeping things reasonable!&nbsp;<div><br></div><div>We are all human and are often prone to reading things into comments that aren't there and over reacting. If I had a penny for every time I did it, I could buy us all a small island...

Then of course there is us (Heidi and I) who cook about everything in our van. We use the built in LP stove top often as well as the microwave which is about 800 Watt also. We do use our convection/toaster oven quite a bit too. It is 1850 watt when run at max and does just fine for the average...
