Our go-to is a can of chicken mixed with ranch, bacon, pepper and parmesan on sourdough. We chose not to cook or worry about coolers. We buy what we can make without heat and learned to check labels more closely to ensure it is nutritional and low in sodium and sugars. Non GMO as much as...

My wife and I regularly stayed at the more popular truck stops and while doing laundry at one of them a truck driver kept harassing my wife and offering her money to go back to his truck. We have a system set in place for such occurrences and it worked well and I was able to intervene and halted...

I only remember slug bug and whack Cadillac.

Thanks for all the ideas and advice everyone. I pulled a trailer last year and truck had trouble with it. We're heading out tomorrow morning and have new gear to try out. With luck problem will be solved as far as sleeping while on the road.

We're heading to the Olympic mountains in western Washington to national forest to camp.I only have pictures of my feet but I think my wife got me in 1 video though. I try to avoid being on camera alot when possible at the moment. Glad you enjoyed the videos. I don't do much of any editing in...

I went out and bought tent, mattress etc. Just now and plan to head out later today or first thing in the morning. Will be in Olympic mountains at free sites for next few weeks before heading east and work our way towards the Dakota's.

I tried converting the inside of the bronco to where my wife and I could sleep in and it didn't work out as we also have two dogs so it's pretty crowded in here just driving down the road.

We're going back to buying a tent, air mattress and sleeping bags plus a pump of course for spots we can set it up.Our rig is 1988 Ford bronco 2 xl with 156,000 miles on it. Bed bugs are cold blooded and during warmer weather they'll die after 2-3 months without feeding but can slow their...

Starting to wonder if I am just unlucky or cursed. Our first trip out ended when I developed edema in my legs, 2nd trip ended after trying to sleep in back packing tent and 3rd trip I was bitten by a bug that caused an infection within 12 hours of being bit. We went back to site after hospital...

Northern Oregon coast and Washington along with the western Olympic mountains is supposed to be in the mid 60's for next 10 days. No fires in area at last check.

I was looking on ebay and found vehicle screens that slide over doors like a sock and are held with Velcro and is elastic.

Before I started getting ready for the road someone asked me if I named my rig. I thought about it and never did name it so my first instinctive response was, her name is "Mistress"! They asked why that name and with a smile on my face I replied "because she shows me things I've never seen...

Glad to hear you're getting up and running, sounds like quite the adventure.

I've tried finding magnets before going on a trip and couldn't find any except lightweight type in arts and crafts so tried using gorilla tape. Not recommended, it leaves residue behind and I took it off at night and saw blueish light when it came off which was kinda neat.

My wife and I were excited to start the lifestyle and pondered selling our house and buying a van but decided to try a 3 month trip first but only made it 18 days before needed medical treatment from a poor diet. Definitely start slow with short trips first to see if it fits you and expand from...

I'm currently at home base waiting for some vehicle repairs and taking the opportunity to elevate my leg which I'm not able to do sleeping in the truck. I've been bit by A LOT of insects but this was the worst infection. Plus I was wearing shorts and ankle socks that day (only). They gave me...

After I left pharmacy we went back to the exact same spot where I was bitten for an additional 3 days. Took picture of bite wound as of today but to gross to post

It seems easy watching videos of nomads online but doing it is a whole different thing and takes common sense, determination and quickly learning from your mistakes. I'm currently in the learning from mistakes stage and although I have had some setbacks I've learned some good lessons but am...

Thanks for the well wishes. The doctors first prescription turns out I am allergic to but pharmacist at Freddy's caught it before fill script but doctor had me take one dose at hospital. Good times
