    Women Only Being a nomad woman without a man to help

    How true, and stagnate is one of my self-describing words, and moldy is a good one too, lol ;) (doubt if any guys will want to ask me out if they are reading this one!! LOL!). There's something to be said for waiting if I'm not sure, but when I can't come up with more "cons" than "pros" I...

    Never saw one of these mattresses for a car, or other..

    I knew the air-mattresses get cold but didn't know the other things you mention HDR. Good to know for sure! I plan for memory foam if I can get it, I guess you buy it and cut it to size. I love my memory foam bed here in the apt. Excellent for me with cooling layer. Got lucky again buying...

    Never saw one of these mattresses for a car, or other..

    I had one for the first few months when I moved into this apartment.  Never deflated but I figure I got lucky on that ;)  It was a walmart twin size, the blue ones? I have another now as I gave all my camp-gear away as I settled in here (thats lasted 5.7 years) until I got the call of the wild...

    Never saw one of these mattresses for a car, or other..

    Yeah, I was hoping it might help someone that need a bit of comfort.  Even when I was younger I never liked sleeping without some padding.  I guess maybe when I was a kid I didn't care.  But seems like we had those cheapie air mattresses that would go flat in the night, because we got a leak...

    Women Only Being a nomad woman without a man to help

    That's true Rose, and I didn't use to be that way.  I would just load up my truck and cross-country for a new job, new life!  My sister and my friends said they wish they could do that.  I felt like it was normal and the settling down must not be for me :)  My dad was the same way, and he only...

    Women Only Being a nomad woman without a man to help

    I hear that and most of the time I'm content on my own.  The thought of sharing "anything" with someone after all these years is hard to imagine.  I've done fine living on my own, for over 20 years now, but when I feel frustrated because I don't know how to do something myself I cop a negative...

    Women Only Being a nomad woman without a man to help

    I heard that so loud and clear Roamer ;)  I need to work on those things for sure.  Some days are so easy to do that, others, I just ruin with sitting and doing nothing but the "have to do's" ;)  Screw it days always turn out the best don't they, I get more done that I didn't even plan to do. ...

    Women Only Being a nomad woman without a man to help

    Hi Crofter, What I want to do, or decided to do is, work my truck into a comfy "enough" space and just spend money on those materials.  I don't know what I can fit into it for sure but I have a friend that is doing his truck, same size as mine and he's getting all I would need into his.  Then...

    Ok, going to look through my book sources, including Google Books Maki, and look at some designs.  I'm sure I'll be able to find them, pretty good at researching, thanks again. Denise

    I knew I shouldn't have said decorative, I was still mad about it. I know it's to keep rain off the zipper but what's to worry about a cheap, plastic zipper. Anyway, I'm just cranky, a lot going on. I appreciate your response. The problem is solved now ;) Yes, I did use both hands but got...

    Never saw one of these mattresses for a car, or other..

    I do too, that's what my bed is here at my apt.  I wanted to show folks that are living in cars, but that air mattress is pretty inexpensive imo.  Good memory foam can be inexpensive too.  I got extremely lucky to get my Full-size layered with cooling layer on top, but it's not ever too cold for...

    Women Only Being a nomad woman without a man to help

    I don't see any when I check CL, or a site on my Facebook, that are for small trucks though, not so far. I'd get a ready-made before I'd build one. My truck is the same size as a Ford Ranger, only it's a Mazda B3000. Sort of like a "generic" to the Ranger when it comes to price. I will keep...

    Hi Maki, I fixed the zipper because it was that "decorative" material flap over the zipper that kept getting caught so I took my scissors and shaved that sucker off!! Works fine now ;) I would be happy to camp near you Maki, I know I need women mentors/teachers. This build below is what I...

    ..vehicle.  I don't know what we could use to extend the seat (so to speak) but seems like something could be built in for someone in a car: https://www.zulily.com/search?q=car+air+mattress&fromSearch=true Amazon or walmart might have similar, I never bought anything from that website, my...

    Women Only Being a nomad woman without a man to help

    Hi lab_nomad, I have gone  tent-camping twice and my biggest issues were: setting up (not being organized enough to start with. I was literally exhausted) tearing down (easier getting home and everything has a place) getting out of a tent (and I have 2 both the same issue) and into because...

    What's for dinner?

    I hear the Pork Rinds are good for Keto-friendly snacks. Haven't had any for years, but I liked them I remember ;)
