So sorry to hear of your hard times. I'm glad for you that you found your way through it... that you had emotional reserves enough to keep on fighting against the odds. Good luck to you.

I've spent a bit of time researching this subject as it isn't well-known or understood. Microwave transmissions -- WiFi -- can be harmful to your health. Microwaves are blocked or disipated by metals or metal screening. There are fabrics that are made explicitly for this purpose for those who...

I don't know the particular circumstances of the original poster of this thread but just for balance I wanted to say something. This ain't the "good ole days" where a guy/gal can walk into an office, make polite business conversation and hope to get a job. FIRST your application goes thru the...

The government subsidizes a whole lot of things, including medical and pharmaceutical research... which corporations make good money from. Why do people try to implant guilt in the minds of those who are suffering and fighting for their good health??? When it comes down to it, government has...

Someone has told me that propane tanks will commonly leak when they become hot... due to loosening of valves or hoses. Thus, a storage box to protect the tanks from the sun outside of the camper would be the safest storage option, I'd guess.

Hacking, hmmm. My first website was an attempt to establish a directory of sites that DID NOT USE THIRD PARTY COOKIES (tracking cookies). It was a painstaking bit of work but I believed in it. IMO the biggest... the hugest... the most devastating development of the internet... was the adoption...

Depending on the area... land is usually labeled. The nearer to towns you look you will see designations such as "development" or "rural-farm-ranch" or "municipal utilities" or "non-specified" --- One needs only to read the zoning maps... in order to pick where one decides to reside.

I'm not sure if this is the "original" clay pot heater, but the guy in this video has been using them to heat his boat for years. The way he has designed it, the inner pot is the heating element, while the outer pot serves to conduct the air around the inner pot and circulate into the room...

I am so glad to hear that I'm not the only person who likes XP compared to the newer versions. I went to Microsoft to update Windows yesterday and they were really pushing the "buy a new computer" sales... especially the touchscreen tablets. Might be a good time to pick up a nice used laptop...

@CamperVanMan That was an inspirational story about leaving a place better than you found it... and not only "better" but THRIVING. It's good to get some sort of recognition for this because if you didn't it might be believed that you were the guy watching while someone else did the work... or...

Fogging windows can be deterred by using a vinegar wash. In fact, if you make a spray bottle of white vinegar/water 50/50 -- you can use this for many things. Vinegar is a natural disinfectant and will also cut grease. Some people clean their bathrooms with it and wipe their mirrors with it...

Then... there is a cheap paint option. There are different techniques and various degrees of professional quality. I'd try the two-coat technique and forget being too fancy. Spray technique, with Rustoleum gloss this guy has a video showing it two years later, after sitting in the sun. Nice...

I'm also figuring the layout of my Caravan and thought I'd put some of my thoughts down. My goal is not stealth, but it would have that ability. I'd rather drive 10 miles than live in the fear that I would get a vagrancy ticket, or run the risk of having my van turned upside down looking for...

@The CamperVan_Man There's got to be some kind of award for a guy who can live in a van in the deep-freeze of inland Alaska. I lived in a log cabin in Anchorage when a cold spell took temperatures to minus 30, and inland to minus 60. Our little wood stove was turning red and I still had to...

I've found a lot of good information through Douglas Kaufmann and his tv program "Know The Cause" -- he has written several books, and has a Phase Diet that helps reset your health, similar to the one mentioned in this thread. One of his books is "The Germ that causes cancer." His theory is that...

I find it less tiring and easier on my eyes to listen to a book: a great way to conquer the classics like Les Miserables, Hunchback of Notre Dame, The Loss of the S.S. Titanic, The Dead by James Joyce, Call of the Wild, Burning Daylight, White Fang, and Valley of the Moon by Jack London --...

I like the idea of using a small freezer just to freeze bottles of any size that you can add to a cooler to keep food. I'm even wondering if a combination air cooler/refrigerator wouldn't work. Using The CamperVan_Man's air cooler specs -- with copper coil, pump, and fan (I'm thinking aquarium...

@Not So Lone Wolf so, hey... always looking for good links... I followed your link for "The Lost Bus" and really loved these guys. "LOST" means "Lending Our Services Traveling" -- cool -- and rather than finding a group of people with an inch of gooey Christian frosting on their brownies, I saw...

There are "rocket stoves" that burn wood very efficiently. The ones that are built to heat houses are built like a "mason fireplace" where inside the firebrick structure are chambers that circulate the heated air up and over, then down and then out at any exit point. If a rocket stove is built...
