well... Bullet Monkeys- great book lightning fast pace, cant recomend it enough, reads like a slightly more serious sin city comic book. if you looking for a distracting roller coster ride that forces you to keep page turning, its awesome. Survivor-Chuck Pallanuk (guy who wrote fight club)...

all I'm gonna say... F public showers, F them very much. this whole topic is freaking me out, MERSA, and HPV, and god knows what else... I'd think about it for a week after using a public shower worrying every day if I got staph or whatever else.... no just no. rinse free wash and moist towletts...

That reminds me, I still gotta follow up with an attorney on that whole "just dont respond, dont answer the door, if your legally parked and you dont answer there is absolutely nothing the cop can do" defense. that totally blew me away, I never even thought of just doing that, I feel...

Optimistic- LOVE IT, had a friend who was a hacker who used to break into phone companies so he could steal manuals never released to the public on programing switches (this is 20 years ago so the statute is up) he kept a closet full of work clothes, dominos pizza, UPS, office cleaning company...

WoW stern, great post, never heard of "mantinance free" batteries before, and the comment about the acid spewing shrapnel in a handgrenade makes me feel even better about the ammo box/battery box I built. May not be under the floor, but it was hell to drill through and even in an accident I dont...

Yeah the security blanket is an apt description, havent really thought of it like that before just kind of a nagging unease. Regarding showers: I love the "rinse-less wash" you can get at REI, it smells like baby oil but it really does work and way better than moist toweletts. (this is kinda...

Lol BA Barracas, ultimate van dweller.

Jack, it took me 6 months to "adjust" to life on my own with no family around, I put the quotes around adjust because that twinge of unease never really went away, I just got more used to it. City dwelling is the hardest especially if your not completely stealthed. That's when you gotta park...

@gray whale - those capped batteries are the gell aka AGM batteries most people here use, safer yes but shorter lifespan and more expensive, also recharging must be done differently... sort of the choice between a reliable AK-47 or a high-tech anything else. Bob, "all information on this...

Will do but Im not going for the contractor look, thinking now I might make murder black window inserts for the cab.

yep, planning on that, I also have seen a neat little 12V window fan that will fit within those two inches... might check that out.

how could we forget this one... METALLICA (1991) (Hetfield, Ulrich) (...And the road becomes my bride) ...And the road becomes my bride I have stripped of all but pride So in her I do confide And she keeps me satisfied Gives me all I need ...And with dust in throat I crave Only knowledge...

I like Transient, I dont beg for money, I work, and I tramp around a lot. Also, Transient implies transition, as in everything is temporary even this life.

you just might be a "transient" or worse, a loitering vagrant... (This will be a long post but for the topic and the information I'm trying to get out, I hope it does not violate the "keep it brief" rule, especially considering its in the off topic chit chat section.) On another topic, one...

Today I was parked at the beach, luckily I work night shift so I wasnt violating the ban between 10 and 6 when I went to sleep... BUT... I crashed at around 8:30 AM, I had picked a spot in an upscale neighborhood where vandwellers wernt common because of a high police presence. Though the...

I think divorce is a lot harder on the gals, my sister went through it a few years ago and is still hoping for some kind of closure and its never going to come through. I dont know if there is any great advice to give, other than dont sweat the small $h!t (ultimatums, mean texts, etc) and take...

How much did you pay for the van? High tops can be really expensive, I'd probably start checking with auto wrecking yards, just start making the calls. Find someplace that has a van with a hightop being scrapped then pull it and pay for or do the install yourself. I wouldent buy one new... it...

I didnt believe the black magic would actually work, and retroactively no less! (J/K :-P ) Hope ya get well soon... and cant we sue somebody for this? like the weather man or the local minister or something? Theres always somebody you can sue!

So re-reading the vandweller topic on "do you want to be in a vandweller documentary" It got me thinking... what vandwellers do we see in modern media like movies, TV and video games... Heres a few I remember, tell me if you can think of any more... In Marvel, Agents of SHEILD, the super...

@ bobbert sounds "too damaged" to believe in his ability to make his life better, then again... I identify with a lot of what he is saying, I feel the same way myself most of the time, I guess my big issue is figuring out what the difference is between "mobile homeless" and "vandweller" if there...
