    How I Became a Vagabond

    We are gonna need an outline. People have very different base conditions and values, it would help to know your condition when you decided you needed to change, if you did. A few have always been nomads. Some have been several things. Many have never looked.

    SSI Increase for 2023

    Can you imagine what it is like in countries where the wage is so much lower that we get most of our manufactured goods from? Living simply has been good for me and there are lots of opportunities and advantages that I’m thankful for. I let’s hope the lower costs of medicine starting this next...

    ^^^Useful hint, take off the front set of hooks that way you have something to hold on to! Loop a piece of line around the hook at the bottom of the bend and press down on the back side of the eye of the hook while slightly putting pressure toward the attachment point or line to release the...

Their magazine has a listing of all their parks and rates as well as contact information. You can also buy in to the co-op but there is no requirement to do...

    HOWA and Kodiak versus Springbar tents

    Some of the Sears tents were great. In early 1970 I had a 9 x 12 with a floor that used three external tensioned u shaped poles with no guide lines and like these tents you simply staked the floor down and raised the tent with the poles, then tensioned the poles by expanding them. I lived in it...

    Cargo Trailer Repair Parts Source?

    I would think you could contact Hallmark directly. You could possibly use the piece as a mold and make it out of fiberglass. A roofing/gutter installer might be able to make an aluminum one for you.

    Ok, I'm pullin' the trigger on a power station........

    I use the heck out of the ones on my electric bike and they have impressed me but still have concerns about their use/charging in extreme temperatures. It would help if they came in a fire proof container as well as had better repetitive safety systems to prevent not only fire but damage as they...

    HOWA and Kodiak versus Springbar tents

    ^^^Cotton canvas tents provide a wonderful environment inside that other tents just can’t as the entire surface breaths. My 10’ x 14’ Kodiak makes a great screen room as well due to 4 large screened windows/doors, 2 on either side as well as the hooded end vents. The weight and number of stakes...
