This is such an interesting thread. I did some research and found some information that may apply here, although much of it is about lamps and types of fuel to use. It is clarifying. Different fuels require specific equipment and proper use and maintenance as well as proper storage...

The guy in this video got permission from his county for his version of a septic tank. It is a concrete block pit that serves as a solar sewage dehydrator. After seven years of using it there is only an inch of residue accumulated. Human waste is 90% water. He does not put in grey water...

I am considering a grow bag idea -- there are various ideas -- a mobile garden how to make with the gardening cloth basically, it is polypropylene gardening cloth that is cut and sewn or hot-glued to form a box or bowl... filled with potting soil that contains coconut husks, peat moss, or hay...

Since I discovered the clay pot heater... which is placed upside down over a candle(s)... which can be placed over an oil lamp... (done only in a safe manner, of course) -- in order to radiate heat into a small room... I wondered if one could use a stone, or a claypot-stone combination of some...

@The Ethiopian Pretty van. (posted 25 days ago) I hope you're not looking for van advice from me... I am not a mechanic. The best thing you could do is to get a read-out from CarFax. Then, talk a little "mechanicy talk" to the owner, and see what he/she knows about maintaining a vehicle. Did...

maxipads... :D I just skimmed over Mountain Medic's comments... about all the traumatic events he's had to deal with... pretty serious stuff. There really are times when a good background of first aid really comes in handy. As a kid, our family was driving thru Georgia and there was something...

Now... to find that perfect place for the extra key... hmmm...

I have a couple of links that make a quick van conversion--- and this guy did this with just one arm a chair with piano hinges that folds into a bed

hey, gypsy, nice to know ya Your photographs (do they still call them photographs?) are really well done... and actually look untouched by graphics programs. What's the word for that... "original"?

Got Smart made a good point about buying something you are familiar with. Seems to me, this is a good time to decide the ideal vehicle for you that you will be satisfied with... and as you use it and repair it you become familiar with how to maintain and fix it. Then... when the horse dies...

So sorry about your car burning... and at Christmas, too. wow This is something to really consider... protecting documents. Always looking for cheaper options, I looked here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fire-retardant_materials Fireproof, waterproof... but what if your van was...

Thinking that this product might really be something cheap (like Vitamin K powder- which I'd never heard used in this fashion before) -- I read the comments to dig up the secret ingredient that stops serious bleeds. And down at the bottom of the page was a critique by "Mountain Medic" -- who...

@decodancer Nice blog. If I get a chance I'll look around a little more there. Great idea to keep in touch with everyone. My poor brain is concentrating on my projects right now. I watched the puppy videos... very cute. Dogs must have traveling legs, fer sure. Nice to meet you.

I haven't been in Alaska for 20 years, but there is only one highway from Homer to Fairbanks to Seward. There may be small roads and little communities but none that go very far. There is permafrost. There may be mud. There are trains that traverse the western part of the state. Most often you...

Thanks !! How did you get to be a "posting freak" ??

I can't find where the list of moderators is... I'd kinda like to know... if someone corrects me on something... if they are speaking as a moderator (who knows the details of rules)... or if they are just a person passing along heresay... or just a person who is being helpful (without...

Hi - I'm new here, too. I haven't had the chance to see all there is, but I have an idea I'm working on that might work. I'm going to make a large sun shade, likely glued/sewed/tied to a tarp that I can stake on one side of my Caravan, pull over the top, and serve as a shelter/porch on the other...

Some people consider "four square walls" comparable to "cages." There are options... Buy on time a shed $100. month (some of them are cool), put it on an acreage, call it a hunting cabin... lease the land or find someone who'll help a student. Long ago, my husband and I found an old cabin...
