    U-Box Pod?

    Had a nutty idea a while ago... converting one of these... http://www.uhaul.com/Ubox/ into a living space, figured if I do decide to go international, this would be a great way to bring a tiny hous home with me. I could even get two or three and bolt them together if I wanted even more space...

    Wander-er's Kitchen

    yeah its awesome, you put the wood in there, hit the fan, and the small amount of wood creates a little flame tornado, the biggest problem is needing to keep feeding and feeding it every few minutes or clicking the setting from low to high to burn up the older coals, and the USB on the back has...

    Foam bed... is it REALLY that comfortable?

    I say forget all that noise, generally reviews of foam matteresses say people love them AT FIRST, later on people develop back, neck, and shoulder problems from sleeping on them. The best mattress you can get for overall rest tends to be a firm matteress, stops your back and spine from twisting...

    I don't fear death, I've lived a wild fun and adventurous life, done things IRL others can only write fictional stories about, but as I get older the options are disappearing with my health.

    Urban stealth "camping" questions & fears.

    Well... In my minivan I got a divider between the cab and sleeping area, I gotta get out n jump in the side as well, but I don't think that's a big fail, little more noticeable but not terrible.

    ventilation questions and ideas

    Btw I've seen a 35.00 solar roof vent at Home Depot. Had a buddy who used it for um... Indoor agriculture. It was amazing, you can set a temp and it shuts off in rain, I'm thinking of making a pop out for it but again... Very loud/big. Stealth fail...

    discouraging words not allowed?

    When the boredom is killing you, when you've read so many books your head hurts, when looking at one more tree, creek or vista feels like every other f-ing tree, creek or vista... Do something a little dangerous and a little $tupid, something that will give you an adrenal rush. Fear always...

    Before I go on... shouldent there be a health and wellness section of the forum? we seem to talk a lot about those subjects... I was listening to NPR today, and was kind of blown away to hear that 64% of all doctors have "do not resuscitate" orders, also known as "no code" orders, a lot of...
