Yep inspires me to, but look how much money was wasted verifying something we already knew had a secure system and advertising for selecting leadership in this country this year, and that is just here in this country! Don’t get me started on the lottery either. I’m gonna go for a walk hope I...

Kills me how behind I’ve become with modern communications. How come no solar panel on the bag I wonder? With all the electronics in the bag the only area to carry anything else was a water bottle! I liked the motion detector and gps tag but with a sharp knife and a few seconds a good runner...

^^^Makes you start thinking about finding other BLM land that is warmer or traveling further into Mexico doesn’t it! Lol!!!

I love to debate and argue as a way to learn and evaluate my values and expand my viewpoints but as I’ve gotten older I’ve learned the value of ensuring they are used as a tool to help improve peoples lives not destroy or devalue them. You have to be willing to accept certain facts whether or...

To all those that in the past, presently and in the future give up their freedoms and more for a period of time to serve so that hopefully all may have the opportunity to live free. Thank you from one that knows what that means.

Springbar has a steel cable that I believe is stainless steel that is part of the floor seam that is a continuous loop completely around the tent where it is secured by the stakes. The Kodiak only has cloth loops. The older Springbar tents were made in the USA by people that took pride in their...

Welcome back!

Being a former teacher it is easy to see how important it is to teach people how to form theories and use proven methods to test their theories. Education is the key to making this world a better place. Cliff notes ain’t gonna cut it! Lol!!!

Well I have a 10’ x 14’ Kodiak as there are two of us and we like the space even though it makes it harder to find enough flat ground to pitch it we used it for several years. Chinese made but had vents and some accessories that the USA made Springbar didn’t have. I got a special deal when they...

I don’t like fiberglass much either as long as Poor Man’s Fiberglass (PMF) is cheaper, cleans up in most cases with water, is easy to repair and maintain and has lasted several years now on my camper. Plus it is pretty ugly anyway (no one will want to steal it) but paint it white and it looks...

You will have several things to consider when trying to build in a generator into your van. The exhaust must be gotten away from the van and not allowed to enter the living area. You will need to use safety monitors to keep alive should some thing go wrong. Even something as simple as the wind...

25 DB is extremely quiet, almost too quiet to really believe. The Westinghouse generator you listed was I believe 56 DB which is probably low for most generators that are around 3,500 watts. I also have an older 1,000 watt generator which is as loud or louder than my 3,500 watt generator! There...

There are smart phone apps to measure sound decibels. I would highly recommend borrowing or renting a generator and trying what you are preposing before spending a lot of time and money. Open the doors and windows and insure you have plenty of ventilation and probably not a bad idea to wear ear...

Most efficient use of tax dollars ever to get the job done!

Good thinking as inverters are somewhat inefficient and use power even with nothing hooked up but on. Be aware there are no quiet generators just less noisier ones. Many van owners mount them on a cargo tray that slides in a hitch mount. You want to get one light weight enough you can carry or...

“It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas!” Lol!!!

General rule is put as much solar on the roof as you have space for, buy as much battery as you can afford and you might have enough depending on how often you adjust you location. Otherwise buy a Prius or another hybrid vehicle and install an inverter. The big problem with solar is making sure...

Me too, I drove one of the new electric switch engines in the yard in 1955 at 4 years old, both my grandpas were railroaders with the C&O.

^^^Lol!!! That is a lot better than most commercially built truck campers that don’t even use a high quality glue or any glue at all! My grandkids will probably have a heck of a time getting rid of my ugly old camper! I came to my conclusions after having to rebuilt the wooden boxes I hauled...

A lot seems to depend on which VA hospital you go to it seems. They do I believe for veterans living more than 60 miles from a VA facility allow and pay for treatment in certain situations at private medical facilities as well as they have a few satellite offices which makes it easy for nomadic...
