She might be gone but this is great info for everybody else in her position. Thanks for posting.

Thanks for mentioning air horns. I'm going to get one and see if that will stop dogs from running at me.

Personally "running up to me off leash" was suppose to indicate that I use pepper spray as a last resort for dogs running directly at me and getting close enough that pepper spray is necessary. I believe hurting anything living - other than bugs that get into your personal space - should be a...

Thanks. I was in the Army 5 years, my friends are combat vets, and I'm active in the veteran community. I intentionally don't follow politics or anything that's going to keep me on high alert. In my home, I'm prepared for things that are likely, like not having power for days. For me, that's...

No they can't. That's like saying someone canb make a key to your house if they know your address. But please post where that's possible if something has changed in the last few months.

😁 I've been in several southern honky-tonka and found people do, in fact, care about beauty. It's just everybody looks way better under the influence of alcohol.

Thanks for the 411. I don't stay on politics so I appreciate when others tell me what's happening.

I carry pepper spray. Dogs aren't my favorite but if one approaches slowly, calmly, AND gently, I can deal. I can not deal with a dog that comes running up to me off leash. On the trails, I always yell "Get your dog" but the dog is never under their control and they don't. Then they get upset...

This is from April of last year.

How could a war between Russia and the Ukraine hurt communication and the supply chain in the US? We do import a lot of stuff but nothing serious from that part of the world. Now China and Mexico would have me scared. Or is Morgana in Europe? Either way, I have a portable battery system in...

Yep, that mess that happened in Canada can happen anywhere.

My words of wisdom: I feel way safer when I'm around people than when I'm off in the boonies by myself. Since there's no reason to be alone, especially when you first start out, move closer to people. Once you've been doing it awhile, if you want to camp all by yourself, then go for it. Crap...

If you like to walk in that area, and the person who placed the mailbox likes to walk in that area, then that area might get more traffic than you think. That being said, different people pick up different energies. The area felt off to you so you bailed. You followed your instincts, there was...

It's just art. People leave decorated rocks and things for others to find. It's suppose to be cute and sweet. What are y'all thinking makes it weird?

This is already a women-only sub-forum.

There's already a women's only sub-forum. This post is in it. Men are not allowed to comment on posts on the Women's Only sub-forum. The discussion is whether to have posts viewable by women-only, not whether to have a sub for women only.

This sounds cool.

Information is awesome but it doesn't equal experience. It's hard for someone to know if they're going to be able to deal with life in a vehicle just by looking at other people showing their best moments in their vehicle. Vanlife is still regular life - with the additional pros and cons specific...

I don't think it would cause conflict or be anymore exclusive than it currently is. There was conflict when the sub was first created (some men were not happy and let that be known) and Bob basically told them to get over it because it was non-negotiable. Having the forum be restricted would...

Yep. I don't know what happened to grabbing a sleeping bag and a duffel bag of clothes and hitting the road but it needs to come back. People are talking about investing 10s of thousands and selling their homes because #vanlife looks good on Instagram and YouTube. They've never even slept in...
