    How to get free food mostly without fraud/how food banks work

    rural you can get different support though, I know in alaska if you lived in a rural area you could hunt huge limits of moose, deer, etc and fish hundreds of pounds of different kinds of fish... but yeah... small town = no food banks or church supported banks (few offerings)

    Blacking out Conversion Van windows easy while insulating them

    I'm going magnetic, just too many times I want to take the blockers off when camping, etc. and again... the idea of putting fly eye peep holes in the window blocks is just too good to pass up.

    $500 standard repair fee

    Don't take guns into Canada

    Actually yeah that's true, get the ferry from port Angeles heading up the inside passage to Juno and then get another ferry to Seward (I think) puts you on the road on the mainland no need for Canadian customs. But for my RV (35 ft) that cost 3,000.00 (still cheaper than Canadian gas though)
