    Danner Boot Sale

    The ones on 60% sale are close-outs and not available in all sizes. Danner is a good boot. So is Redwing, but I like Danner as easier to break-in.

    An unusual place to buy Methanol at $10.67 per gallon.

    Worth remembering, these chemicals can have, but do not always have an instant health effect. What effects does the backpacker's methanol have later in life?

    An unusual place to buy Methanol at $10.67 per gallon.

    That is why I would only use alcohol labeled as "stove fuel". Lots of stuff burns. There are some really dangerous liquid solvents available for specific purposes.

    "You can't test drive it. Company / owner prohibits non-employee drivers."

    I am guessing it is a corporation type company selling their surplus vehicle. Easy to understand that reasoning. But most business owned vehicles have good maintenance documentation.

    EZ Pass Tracking

    I don't think many of us on this forum have hybrid vehicles. :)

    EZ Pass Tracking

    No discount on most tolls. Most EzPass states charge a service fee each month, use the pass or not. NJ charges $1 per month. I still recommend having an account. The best state to have is North Carolina.

    Is a Honda generator worth the price?

    I own a Westinghouse i2000. No complaints. It is as quiet as my friends Honda i2000. While these generators are "quiet" compared to the non-inverter generators, the steady drone is also annoying. Except for the cheapest generators, the noise level of all these inverter generators are the same to...

    An unusual place to buy Methanol at $10.67 per gallon.

    Stove fuel is Ethanol with a small amount of Methanol to denature the alcohol. Methanol is very toxic. I know you don't recommend drinking it, but the fumes and whatever are the products of combustion would keep me scared.

    Free Lithium Batteries From Used Laptops

    Yes. And if they become over charged, or deeply discharged? Things can go bad without battery management.

    EZ Pass Tracking

    were pike means a type of spear, then a pole, then a gate. Near Cape May there is a curvy old street named Shunpike Road. I have had my Ez-Pass for many years. I have not had one problem.

    Does anybody use an air fryer

    They are a heating element and a fan. They are rated to use 1400 watts. About the same as a toaster. That is well over 100 amps from the battery. But much longer than it takes to make toast.

    Water purifiers

    A filter that can be cleaned will not remove the stuff you want removed from a questionable water source.

    Renting a driveway or a spot on private property?

    There are many (maybe most) communities use the National Building Code by reference. They ban any "camping" or Sleeping in a camper in municipal limits. If utilities, all systems deny connection to water and sewer.

    EZ Pass Tracking

    Well. I hope those that need free tolls get them. But that does seem like a lot of red tape and work to avoid a few dollars on whatever-pass.

    Anyone here establish an LLC or Trust as owner of your vehicle?

    Forums are discussions. Like a big group of friends. Every body has something to say. That is why we like it here. Shotgun remarks and brainstorming can trigger a really good solution every once in a while. Just ignore the ones you don't need. It is easy.

    Carrying propane tank

    I thought they made a joke. I know valves fail. You know valves fail. But others gave advice that hinted they don't fail. !!

    Doctors and Dentists

    What I have done, and I don't recommend any thing I have done. Pick a Dental Practice with big offices and lots of help. Better chance of sanitary procedures. That works for emergencies, but I use a single practice at 'home'. Picked by friend's recommendations.
