call the cops on them, say you saw one of them smoking drugs, and theres chemical smelling smoke coming out of the top of the RV, then when all the cops and firemen are around, you know its safe to introduce yourself... JK I'd just wait till a door or something was open or when one of em was...

welcome to the road, only concern I was kind of having... is your conditon serious? I mean if your out there on the road and have another attack, do you have a way of getting help fast? Will anybody be checking up on you?

well Karl that about summs it up for me... I see some points repeating on these postings... frugality, minimalism, adventure, self reliance, simplicity, self expression (humm... not sure thats too shared but maybe I'm wrong), innovation, appreciation (with an accent on nature) individualism...

In a recent post bob said... "My philosophy is you are a vandweller if you call yourself a vandweller because it is an attitude and not a choice of residence." On another topic I was told by another forumdweller I would be a poor representitive of vandwellers because I didnt share the same...

I dunno... somebody is cold they should have a jacket, dont have a place to sleep they should get one, needs a meal shouldent have to ask... we live in the richest country in the world, more millionares here than anywere else (though the per-capita income isnt the best) some basic things...

As I said before... I would not do the show, but really why does any vandweller seen in the media have to represent YOUR values and attitudes? Are they the middle of the road, no conflict, no disagreement, I go with whatever the majority agrees uphon vandweller views? Are you some kind of...

I've done the laundry mats, work ok, as do donut shops (LEOs frequent them less than ya'd think) 711s, circle K, and gas stations though... lots of LEO traffic from what I've seen and there are often panhandlers and other unsavory types around them. but definatly stay away from parks... man...

I have no expirence with Kerosene, I know it smells a bit (maybe a lot?) but I had thought about building a kerosene lamp that also heated water ala one of the campfire water heaters (spiral of stainless steel tubing with a small water pump) then I thought hey... I wonder how kerosene heaters...

Lol I imagine a lot of home owner insurance commercials if a vandwelling reality TV show gets made... DON'T LET MAYHEM HAPPEN TO YOU... OR YOU MIGHT WIND UP IN A VAN DOWN BY THE RIVER!

I dont think theres enough room in my Dodge Caravan for a captian's chair from a class A on the passenger side (with my battery box being inbetween the seats) I'm not even sure a swivel would work (I think you'd likely have to pull it outside to turn it around) but its really the last thing on...

Are you telling me if this show gets made, we might suffer stigma, or discrimination? you dont think were already getting loads of that? I dunno... maybe a real expose showing just how human we are, how others could identify with what weve done, maybe even fantasize about it themselves, could...

There's a lot of good advice above, I'd follow that but if all else failed and you've got to choose between starvation or freezing to death.... My dad taught me three magic words that will always put food in your belly, a roof over your head, and a bed under your ass... Stick em up.

You gotta have a box that is air tight to vent the hydrogen gas, the holes around the box will be filled with silicone and suspend the wires. I'm a smoker and I'm considering using a very small wood stove/heater inside the van, I didn't want even a remote chance of kaboomage. Also like I said, I...

Well... I think about it the same way I think about "doomsday peppers" one side of me thinks "people will think your nuts and you'll be telling the world about your secrets!!" Though I wouldent be on it, and yeah sometimes I think its been negative, but overall I think its been good for peppers...

checked it out, looks neat, like the collapsibility of it and the dutch oven set up looks like it would do well too... I dunno though, I'm not ready to give up my biolite... I love cooking a steak, with potatos and onions, and corn with a few of handfulls of twigs and charging my cell phone at...
