If you are looking at a sprinter with a tall roof, you could potentially do bunk beds on one side, leaving the other for storage, counter space, etc.

You might consider looking at adult dogs rather than at puppies, especially if you are looking at purebred dogs. An adult is going to show any genetic issues like hip dysplasia manifest in the first year or two, or at least a vet will be able to tell. You also can get a very good idea of the...

I have used the fog before, and as I recall my impression was meh. It was ok, but not worth the trouble. I LOVE the regular Rain-X product. I always use it on my windshield, or the washer fluid. I consider it a safety issue. When it rains hard, wipers are worthless compared to a treated...

My understanding of Tiny Houses is that they are built on trailers most of the time due to their size. In most areas, there is a minimum square footage set in building codes for a residence. It has the added benefit of enabling you to take your house with you when you go somewhere else. Many...

Sometimes the 2 million is so you can live off the money your money is making, while leaving the principle alone. Your age at retirement also makes a difference, since if you have to account for inflation as well as growth from interest. The other consideration is healthcare, because as you...

There is a synthetic material that is used in place of plywood in several applications. It's called Phenolic. It mills basically like wood. They use it in bathrooms, some commercial kitchens, and woodworkers make jigs out of it sometimes, but it is heavy. Here is a link to the Sagulator, a...

You can sleep in a hammock in very low temperatures. Just get yourself an underquilt! Eno, the makers of your Doublenest, make them, as do a lot of other small gear makers.

Good question! I have been wondering about vandwelling sources as well! Also, can anyone recommend some books on automechanics? Or would the Chilton's guide be the best bet for the van you decide to buy? I've done some basic maintenance, but would love to learn more. The Bushcraft USA Forum...

It is always up to the dog owner to control their dogs. Train your dog to have a good recall, and keep them on lead or trained to walk at heel with distractions, and you should never have a worry about jumping into a hot spring, or running in front of a car. If your dog can get out of a...

I used to travel for business and the hotel they would put us in every trip was one with sleep number beds. I detest them. To get it firm enough I had to air it up until it felt like I was sleeping on a slightly convex board. I would slide down to the edges in the night. I detest them...

Windows 8 is not my friend, either, but luckily you can get an OEM copy of Windows 7 for $99 on Newegg. Windows 7 is great. I built my last 7 desktops and went from XP to Windows 7. I skipped Vista (except on my old laptop that came with it). Switching over is pretty simple. I would just...

Most places I have been you don't need a license to fish on your own land, either. But I agree that you would need a pretty big area to live off the land by hunting game. Deer move around, but smaller game not so much. Maybe they raise rabbits and chickens? I could see that working. Native...

I saw a video recently while free-associating on YouTube. They had made a storage for kitchen items out of a cooler turned sideways, so the hinge was at the bottom front. That way the door would open out and down. Not sure if they were doing it, but it struck me that you could tie down the...

I had a couple of charges due to the data breaches at either Target or Harbor Freight. These were both local purchases, and both times I had to get a new debit mastercard from my bank. The charges were for Gift Cards at Wal-Mart, which is a common way credit card thieves try to quickly turn...
