    not just guns: other methods of self-protection

    Aside from fending off people with Okra...<div><br></div><div>Getting a handle on what basic every day things can be used for self defense is smart for anyone IMO. In one way or another, almost anything can be used as a weapon if a person has a good grasp on which characteristics are effective...

    not just guns: other methods of self-protection

    <div><br></div><div>Bri's experience and level of disgust with Okra is similar to my own! I have had many good southern cooks in my family try and convince me it was edible without success.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>I would seriously rather eat a worm....&nbsp;</div>

    RTR January 2012 is scheduled!!

    Doubt we will be heading that direction this year, but ya never know. I just wanted to mention the little RV park on the west side of Bouse &nbsp;which I think was county or something. At any rate, they only ever charged us $3 to dump tanks and let us fill with potable water too. They were...

    firearms

    Well, this is a topic that Heidi and I have been very into lately. I grew up with guns and had been planning on buying more of them for the last several years, just hadn't done it. I won't get into reason or debate or opinions etc.&nbsp;<div><br></div><div>What we have is a Mossberg short home...

    not just guns: other methods of self-protection

    I like that idea on the fakey wallet too Bri! Very cool! I may have to do something along those lines as well.&nbsp;<div><br></div><div>Other than firearms... Well, I have a few throwing knives I keep close. Heidi keeps pepper spray and an amazing assortment of knives with her most of the time...

    Living off the land

    For making animated gifs, such as dancing smileys, the GIMP works well! I have used it for years for that purpose in Linux and it really is a pretty easy process.&nbsp;<div><br></div><div>As far as taking animals with the slingshots or blowguns, not yet! We have really just been into it since...

    Living off the land

    This is a topic Heidi and I enjoy too! We both have slingshots that are modified to shoot arrows. Both have the black bands that claim to be the strongest and must be at least close. They perform very well. Heidi's is setup with just a basic split-ring on the DIY inner-tube bands like others...

    vandweller guys

    I felt exactly that way for 6 years after my second divorce. Was happy enough that even dating just wasn't a big deal. After I sold my shop and had more time on my hands, I did do a little dating and then remembered why I liked being single so much! Expected/wanted/planned to remain that way...

    Battery bank sizing

    Hey Nemo, Seemed like you may have a little confusion about the 6V, 12V thing and amp hours. &nbsp;If your current setup (no pun intended, really) is 2 6V T105's in series for 12V, the voltage doubles but the ah stays the same. so whatever ah rating it is for 1 of the 6V batts, it's still that...

    Making Coffee

    Here is the post we did on coffee and how we deal with it on the road. As Bri mentioned, the name changed to French Roast. Good stuff though! The regular isn't bad either for that matter!&nbsp;<div><br></div><div><meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"><a...

    "It's not the years, it's the mileage" - or is it?

    <div><br></div><div>Mostly, but you will occasionally see a 3/4Ton basic extended van. I would expect all the 15 passenger rigs to be 1 Ton, but nothing surprises me anymore.&nbsp;</div>
