    Is it okay to even have a pet as you age?

    I appreciate what you've said here. Thank you.

    Prices for used vans have skyrocketed! Any ideas for buying a used TALL VAN for less?

    Okay thank you. I think of cold weather, so for me extra windows are a minus rather than a plus. And the insulation is not enough, though light insulation is a blessing in hot weather. I agree that getting on the road quickly would be easier with a van that is already meant for passengers...

    Prices for used vans have skyrocketed! Any ideas for buying a used TALL VAN for less?

    Would you please expand upon why you believe passenger vans make better conversions than cargo vans? I had always assumed the opposite.

    Off topic posts split from "How do u live on $700/month, truly?"

    That is a medieval Japanese peasant's starvation ration. Are you proposing this for the richest nation in the history of the world as adequate or representative of the true wealth of the nation, or that it should be?

    Off topic posts split from "How do u live on $700/month, truly?"

    By that measure, though, living on dog food is enough. And that's plenty to grant each other through our political system too. How far can this extend ... or do you want it to? Is 8 hours a day enough? Or 12? 16? 20? Some work/safety regulations .... or none? Adequate toilet...

    How do u live on $700/month, truly?

    I'm in Oregon now and was in California and elsewhere before, and your figures strike me as VERY low. Additionally, I qualified for food stamps a few years back and it was a very tight squeeze, to say the least. In the meantime, prices for a can of beans at Safeway, for another example...

    Any thoughts on crock pots?

    5k/yr according to article. Still, people of old used to leave meat out to age for days on end, and weren't dropping like flies because of it. And we have to consider that 5k out of somewhere north of 350 million is a pretty small amount, and doesn't necessarily take into account any other...

    No, two bags will not hide your poop

    I'm saving money on rent the same way.

    Seeking advice- ambulance vs. truck camper vs. van

    The thing about the high mileage, though, is some of those diesel engines are expected to last 750k miles or more.

    How do you carry, if you carry a gun?

    That's pretty nice-looking, too!

    Choosing to be Single and on the Road

    Sometimes one of a couple will actively chase away their partner's involvement with anyone else too -- or, kinda creepily, a person will volunteer to give up their friends as a matter of course, or "just in case.' There's even the occasional case of someone not wanting another of the same sex...

    How do you carry, if you carry a gun?

    Dang, that vest reminds me of photography bags/cases, especially, where you would like something suited to the carry and protection, but the damn branding screams out at people "STEAL ME FIRST!! HERE I AM!!!"  Clothing all about concealed carry shouldn't make their branding prominent!

    Gamma Lid bucket smells horrid inside

    Seems like a very expensive way to go about it.

    Sunriver is hiring housekeeping. $25/hr

    That can be a tough job, depending what the timer is. But it is still an excellent wage in many places, especially for a job that doesn't require a certification etc.

    What are you reading?

    Nomadland, of course!  Also a book on Antifa and dabbling in some others ... like a book on pickling ...

    Seeking advice- ambulance vs. truck camper vs. van

    By my reading it seems few RV's and trailers are winter-proofed. The more I find out about ambulances, the more I like them. Two inches of insulation on the doors/outside, no-nonsense already-built cabinets galore. Only thing is, the electrical is everywhere and complicated, with...

    You don't really need to wash your hair at all.

    Strongly disagree.  Sweat stinks, and harbors oils that themselves at the very least stink and can stink even worse when they start to go stale and ferment.  Ever smell bitter walnuts?  Same thing.  Fats.  But ours are a lot more gross. It's not like trees eat salami or garlic. My dogs stink...
