    Scavenging

    I found out that even a lot of thrift stores get so many donations they have to throw out a lot of stuff they don't have room for. I look for alternative means for getting rid of my things as I downsize to go mobile. Craigslist wanted section has provided me with a womens shelter and other...

    Get one of those car covers and keep it on at night? That's what the guy in the homeless living blog did.

    affiliate marketing - dating site niche

    LOL. That is hilarious. As a current sales rep, I am certainly used to "selling myself." I might look into that at some point.

    Ticks and fleas

    I do appreciate the debunking, but I must pick a bone with you sir. Who the hell ever said I was going to pour it into their orifices? Even with a normal shampooing it is common sense as well as instructions to avoid those sensitive areas on the head. I also experimented on other bugs first...

    selling goods online

    Does anyone have an online selling business? I've sold things on ebay before, but between shipping and listing and paypal fees, it was barely worth it. What items are easy to acquire that will sell well enough to make a decent profit?

    No Cook Recipes?

    Butternut, I read where u heated water by leaving a water bottle on top of your car. Have you tried making soup this way? Get some broth, throw in a few veggies and whatever else you want, leave it in a sealed container in the sun for a few hours voila! Soup for dinner.

    Single And Hating It

    I legitimately believe that you have to be ok with being alone before you are truly ready for a relationship. I'm in upstate SC. Didn't think there were very many drifters in the east. Will probly make a few shorter voyages before I officially launch.

    While we're on the subject of mobile businesses, a man came into my workplace today who has a mobile car wash/ detailing business. Brilliant!

    How to tell your friends and fam?

    Lol. Yes my family lives nearby, but they are not the types to just drop in. Only my dad knows where my place is, and I've lived here almost two years now. My family is a traditional southern family that likes to think they are close, but that doesn't change the fact that I just found out that...

    How to tell your friends and fam?

    I definitely understand this dilemma, primarily in respect to my dad. While I love the rest of my family, I respect the hell out of my dad. Part of the reason I will have a difficult time telling him is because I do believe that he wants what is best for me and I don't want him to worry. So my...

    concerns of a potential convert

    Thnx guys. I'm looking at a ranger on craigslist for 1800 with 144k miles, comes with camper. Wish me luck. Actually converting the trailer doesn't bother me, just affording it. But if I keep up on craigslist, I'm sure a deal will pop up eventually. My vehicle will not trade for much. It is very...

    Alone on the road!

    Dude, I have found that simply being outdoors helps immensely. Haven't figured out what it is. Maybe it's just that when I'm indoors I feel closed off from everything.

    Interesting RVs from the past

    Those vehicles are all awesome! I especially like the ones that look like trains. And I was sitting here thinking "well before that, it was covered wagon," and then he cracks that joke. Imagine crossing the Rockies in a covered wagon!
