    Emergency Cash

    A professional highwayman once told me. "if I get a decoy wallet from my donor, I know there is a real one. And I will get that one."

    Any experience with Peltier dehumidifiers?

    They would make an interesting experiment. It would take a rather large peltier plate. Lots of energy. To condense much water.

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

    Forums are for discussions. That is their nature. Learn to read what you need and ignore the rest. Good luck with your search for anonymity.

    EZ Pass Tracking

    Seems it is hard to make a joke, these days. But, ezpass does not care how many times or at what time you cross the gate. They report the times so you can confirm the charges. That is all they care. You could stop at Molly Pitcher and use the Howard Stern Porta-poty as long as you pay the toll...

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

    I did look into a LLC some years ago. There always has to be some one person that is fully responsible in the LLC. I don't see how that would make that one someone more hidden. I don't know how a trust would work. But that would take a lawyer.

    Mosquitoes and bugs?

    I have a Thermacell. They use a butane cartridge and a pad of repellent. (allethrin). They work well and keep a circle of mosquito-free-zone. I don't smell anything, but do notice a small amount of smoke sometimes. I use them outdoors, or in the van with all the doors and windows open.

    Everyone's out west.. Any Jersey Peeps?

    Maybe those that need public transportation could Transit or Amtrak into Trenton, or other stops. Some one may find it convenient to pick up and drop back at station.

    EZ Pass Tracking

    There are no readers for ezpass any place but at toll gates. You are seeing something else not connected to ez pass. I have my NJ ez pass linked to a credit card. If my balance falls under $10, they add $25. I picked these numbers and don't remember the choices. NJ Ez pass does charge a fee of...

    Bulk charging stage: What determines amps in?

    So, you don't understand how they charge or you just are tired of me.

    Carrying propane tank

    The largest danger is the periodic venting when the bottle is over-pressure from heat inside the van. If the bottle is on it's side this danger is greatly multiplied. In a crash the bottle can become a projectile. The valve can be broken off. Otherwise many carry the 20 pound bottles inside the van.

    Bulk charging stage: What determines amps in?

    John, could you explain what your Sterling or Pronautic do as far as voltage and amperage? I thought I understood lead acid battery charging.

    Water Containers?

    As far as reusable bottles, I use vinegar jugs. I use the distilled vinegar for sanitizing surfaces, cleaning stuff, and reliving Candidiasis rash.

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

    I don't understand how having a USA registered anything would improve privacy. I think having various shell registrations would result in a increased investigation by any curious Law Enforcement Entity.

    Emergency Cash

    I have three bank accounts. I find access to money, where it is needed, very easy in the USA. Carrying much cash is not a good thing.

    Bulk charging stage: What determines amps in?

    Some chargers gradually increase the voltage to maintain their maximum amperage. Then switch to steady voltage. Then when amperage drops, switch to lower voltage to maintain the battery. This helps the battery to not off gas as much water, amongst other benefits. Other chargers just start with...

    Staying on budget?

    Keeping to a budget. A basic survival skill that took me 65 years to master. Then I got a credit card. {:-)

    Bulk charging stage: What determines amps in?

    I determine the parameters of my charger. I researched what my batteries charge voltages should be as recommended by the manufacturer. I selected the parameters by that research.
