Just received a "CamelCamelCamel" Amazon price tracking alert that Augason Farms Freeze Dried Shredded Mozzarella Cheese is at a new historical low of $33.82 for a 1 lb 14.19 oz #10 Can: https://www.amazon.com/Augason-Farms-Freeze-Shredded-Mozzarella/dp/B01MYAJ41C/ I don't have the money for...

Since you asked nicely & honestly, and PDFs are one of my demonstrable areas of expertise... PDF == Portable Document Format It's a vile, evil, proprietary file format that is a superb vector for malware. Just say "no" to PDFs... in my expert opinion. It was designed to let the user have...

Ah, but was she worth keeping?!? A sense of humor in the face of a cheese bomb, is definitely one of the true signs of awesome... at least, it should be up here in the Land of Cheeseheads. :) (aka Wisconsin) P.S. Twice I've had the privilege of inadvertently becoming involved with Keepers, but...

Y'all need a "LOL" button! :) Thanks & she sounds like a Keeper. :D

LOL! Yeah, there were cans of "potted meat" beside them, but I did not even consider them, having long-ago read the ingredients, and still remembering the paranoia about "pink slime". :) Good point on the BBQ flavor! The very last can I tried (a year or two ago?) was that, and it was...

IGBT: Correct! :) Run the numbers, do not guess, and do not believe claims of how the system works. For years I'd heard the claim that the last two years had a higher weight, and that's provably false. SSA provides multiple calculators (see the link I posted above).

What do you do with the rest of the can of chili sauce? :) Otherwise, your culinary thinking is in tune with mine. :) I've got dehydrated onions and mustard, so will be trying them, on grilled VSs (have never really cooked them before, so am hoping frying/grilling improves the taste).

Completely forgot about spray cheese! Here's Dollar General's house brand (front of can beside cheesified-crackers, nutrition & ingredients label): Here's a closeup of the cheese deployed on a (low sodium) Triscuits cracker: The generic brands cost about two and a half dollars for about a...

It's resupply day, way out in a Northern Food Desert, and I found myself seriously contemplating buying a six pack of cans of Vienna Sausages. Main Advantage: single serving size, so ideal for the fridgeless. :) I'm "meh" on them, then I realized... I'll post it as a Recipe Challenge to CRVL...

Just took a look at your forecast for the next month and a half, and yes, it may be doable. :) Just be aware that it's typically 10 to 20 degrees hotter in a van, even with ventilation. You're probably a lot more heat tolerant than I am. :) I still recommend having some potential backups, even...

Please share some specific examples of free state wildlife areas where you have camped. :)

Orange: Howdy! :) Do you have a lot of experience using a pressure cooker? Is there something about it that is useful to your current or planned diet? If you're not currently using a pressure cooker, perhaps you might start with a lower end stove, to see how it meets your needs. :) Last year...

^^This. I'm a thousand miles north of you, have a roof fan & side vents, and I'm baking during the worst heat & humidity. :( If you find something like what Bullfrog suggested, or other temporary housing, just for the summer, then you can focus on your build during the fall & winter. You'll be...

Figured you'd enjoy hearing about that, more than hearing about the awesome butterflies & mosquito-chomping dragonflies. :) Other than warblers, I'm rarely using my binoculars. Nature's right beside me. :) Dingfelder: Sprouting is high on my list of stuff to try. Mostly for the nutrition &...

Thanks for tempering my expectations HDR! :) I'm mostly napping and DVD-watching during the hot spells, then get back to work once the temp drops below 90F. My laptop is even more unhappy than me when I run it above 90F... and I'm pretty sure a wet tee shirt wouldn't help it. ;) A wet towel...

Thanks a ton Orange (plus HDR)! :) Last summer, I almost bought one at Aldi, and even those name brand Frogg Toggs are about the same price. That's fairly modest, if it would help take the edge off. :) Do you (or any other experienced users) have specific suggestions about which would give the...

Very well said kaBLOOnie! :) I've given up my data plan, for now, partly to save money, partly because it limited my choice of potential campsites, and partly because it was a time suck. Granted/ironically, my #1 "hobby" is my life's work: programming internet anti-abuse tools. :) Recently...

I remember the thread about cooling vests! You nailed it: interesting concept, but limited practicality. How about those cooling scarves?!? They're much lower tech, and cheaper, but I don't know if they're worth the money. Has anyone had success with those? I do find a small wet towel on the...

Orange, that sounds like a good plan! :) I'm currently in northern MI, about as far North as one can get, and the humidity sucks. Tomorrow is supposed to be cool, and I'll be returning to my campsite by then, so I'm pumped. :) I'm far more pumped for Fall! I'm a Traumatic Brain Injury...
