    question about the barking collar

    All I can input here is to stay away from the collars with the remote control option.<BR><BR>Something about interference with other radio signals can set it off and not only be counter-productive training wise, but can hurt your pooch by boosting the power and prolonging the shock.<BR><BR>I...

    Iwatani butane stove - opinions?

    <p>As far as I know, the only reason people choose Butane over Propane is because the boiling point is quite a bit different. Butane does not require such a thick container to keep it under pressure.&nbsp; This makes it a lighter, more convenient fuel for backpacking, or any time weight is an...

    WHO'S WATCHIN WHILE YOUR GONE ??

    My nearly full bottle of laundry detergent was taken from the Laundromat last week when I went next door for 10 minutes. <img class="emoticon bbc_img" src="/images/boards/smilies/frown.gif"><br><br>I take everything with me, and my dog watches the rolling abode while I'm in the store or...

    Do you tend to make close friends on the road?

    Id much rather save social hour for the hot springs, or other public gathering places. My camp is where I go to get away. Hell, half the reason I live this way is to avoid people as much as possible.<br><br>That being said, I can be very friendly and have great conversations with others at the...

    MRE's?

    Not to mention expensive... You can keep a few on hand just in case, but eating them regularly doesn't make sense.

    place RV in a trailer home park?

    "It's pretty easy to tell which RVs have been in the park for an extended amount of time because they have decks, skirting around the bottom, flat tires,etc."<BR><BR><BR>...and the giant pile of junk covering the teeny tiny yard! <IMG class="emoticon bbc_img" src="/images/boards/smilies/rofl.gif">

    Hello everyone...

    Welcome Ocean!&nbsp; I must say, the Colorado is tied for my favorite midsized pickup. My other favorite is an 01 Nissan Frontier crew cab.&nbsp; I think you can make your truck quite comfortable with some practice and a few simple modifications.<BR><BR>Others on this board have explored the...

    lets ride

    I had a cheap Chinese scooter when I started, had a ton of fun!! but after a while, it became a bit of a hassle to haul so I went with an old Dahon folding bike after the scooter got stolen. I laughed when it happened because it was almost a relief that I didn't have to keep track of it...

    Does someone know/use this product?

    I have to agree with the above comments.&nbsp; I tried a similar product when I was starting out thinking it was the greatest thing since buttered toast, but threw it in the garbage after 2 weeks because by that time it was just dead weight barley capable of charging a cell phone.&nbsp...

    Dog house A/C units?

    I was researching these a couple of weeks ago and found that PetCool is now Thermassure. Neither of which seem to be producing units right now, but a company called Climateright is coming out with new models this month.<br><br>They've done away with the 2500 btu model, but they will have 5000...

    Water Contaners??

    I'm thinking of using an AC fridge instead of DC. How much less efficient is an AC fridge with an inverter compared to a

    I agree with Wagoneer.&nbsp; I have a small dorm fridge in my rig with the idea of using when I have full hookups, but never actually have.&nbsp; It just stores my food and keeps the temp at least somewhat regulated.&nbsp; <br><br>I use instant dry milk for my cocoa and pasta dishes,&nbsp; eggs...

    Water Contaners??

    I actually prefer empty milk gallon jugs.&nbsp; I can collect as many as I can carry free of charge, and just put them anywhere I have extra space.&nbsp; Every time I think about setting up plumbing or a sink, I remember the KISS method. It's cheaper anyway and I can fill up a couple of jugs in...

    Roll Call

    I'm in Folsom, California until the end of the year. Maybe not so long if we can find a replacement for me at work.&nbsp; But it's getting HOTT! <br><br>I think I'll go somewhere colder next...&nbsp;&nbsp;

    Am I crazy, or are they crazy?

    <p>I've put a bit more thought into this since my original post...<br><br>I suppose the reason I was upset was that I felt like I'd let people down. They were counting on me, and I didn't measure up.<br><br>But that, like just about any other problem we run into, is personal. It's their...

    Questions for on the road... first: one about cash

    I actually very much prefer to use cash whenever possible. Call me paranoid, but leaving a trail of debit/credit card transactions to lead people straight to me is unsettling.&nbsp; I figure, the people I care to keep in touch wit will know something of my location. The rest, well, Id like to at...

    Am I crazy, or are they crazy?

    You guys make some great points, Thank you!<BR><BR>&nbsp; I had someone tell me the other day, about me leaving again; that she isn't sad that I'll be gone, she is sad for me because one day I will wake up and realize I'm all alone and I threw away the people who cared about me.<BR><BR>&nbsp...

    Law Enforcement Officer (LEO) Forum on Van Dwellers

    Most of this occured in Folsom, California.&nbsp; You know... where Johnny&nbsp; Cash played at the prison.<BR><BR>I came here for a job, and stayed because it's gorgeous and the crime rate is very low. Partly thanks to all of the cops?<BR><BR>But I am growing tired of the crazy regulations and...
