    Rocket stove and thermos cooking

    If you want to make a brick stove, use red clay bricks, which have already been heated to 1,000 to 1,500°F.

    1990 Ford E-150

    Re: parasitic draw... I don't know much about mechanical stuff, but if you tow a trailer and don't disconnect it when you're parked overnight, I understand you'll usually affect the truck battery. Just tossing this out there. It was news to me when I read it.

    24/7 Chat About Anything

    I saw Maki2's mention of a Zero Gravity Chair, so I looked it up to see what it is. I already own one! If you're a senior, BE SURE to try one before you buy. The first problem is the front bar that sits on the ground. It was cleverly designed so that when you decide to stand up, you have...

    24/7 Chat About Anything

    12v electric stove OR Rice Cooker in a Minivan with a 12v freezer & 12v fridge for a healthy diet power requirements?

    Does anyone know of any books on solar power for RVs, simple to understand, for dummies? I have a rather nasty case of Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) ... like 80% positive. Think on the level of Dumb Bunny Extraordinaire.

    RV park life, is it affordable for low income?

    show off your pet

    Please don't feed her seasoned human foods -- those meats usually have a high salt content, and salt is very bad for cats. It was wonderful of you to take the poor little girl in!
