Thanks Roamer, good advice :) I know I want a bit more than I can afford right now, but experience is what I need. I'm taking this short-trip today, be back on Monday. My truck isn't set up yet, but we'll do tents. I will hopefully see new friends today I haven't met in person, just through...

Headed up river today to see if Doug and Paulette are still at their last camping spot. Taking a friend with me and he is 84, but doesn't get to do much, couldn't leave him behind. He is a neat ole guy, still makes the most beautiful leather goods, and takes them down to our local fairs etc...

..from Bob's Blog.  I am learning more and more about what I want to do thank goodness, and how I want to do it.  At first I didn't know what else to do but keep asking about things, but I am realizing there is such a wealth of knowledge about being a Nomad, right here on Bob's Blog, and I also...

Hi Jan, I'm watching Jamie's videos, Enigmatic Nomad channel on youtube. Right now I have a chance to work out of a friends garage, and do what I can accomplish myself, to make my truck comfy to sleep in. I am also going to try and find out where another friend will be most of August if I...

I had a thread where I'm trying to get a loan for a used Van, but now rethinking just using my truck.  I haven't heard whether or not I could get the loan so working out another option (plan B).  Put up an ad to look for a space/garage to do some building (easy stuff I could handle) and fixing...

So excited for you, I so want solar for myself when I finally get out there.  That must be some major savings for a Nomad ;)

It's not turning out but I'm over the disappointment. The lady was coaxing me to come up but what she needed was more than I was willing, and able, to do. I'd hoped for just a rental, and basically being a good neighbor but not be actually working for her (job & schedule) I didn't want to...

You too hey Cammalu, roflmao ;)

This is really neat Sofi, I especially love the idea of a Van, and one you can stand up in like this, because it's so easy to just move on into the drivers seat. I stayed in an RV, I think they call them class A (the one I know best is the Class C) and it was easy to get up and just go if I...

Thank you Rose, Very hopeful words so far.  There might be a problem getting there from here because of fires.  I'm watching the Bootleg Fire especially, and another a bit further south ;( Sick for those people and animals in their path ;(

Looks like I may have a job, with my choice of either a 5th wheel to live in, or trailer. The lady that owns it seems excited to meet me, but I am maybe, overly cautious as I've learned I have to be. I am just bursting to find out if it's a good fit for me. It's year-round and in my beloved...

I love those little Scamps, saw one this a.m. Good to know KK!! Thank you ;) Oh, the Scamp I saw was 13k by owner. I can see why though, be worth it to me, but above where I could spend ;) I'll keep looking though ;) Maybe end up with the job first, which would be excellent ;) PS Another I...

I had to have my horses moved a time or too until it was just too impractical for me ;) Hey, is anyone "out there" on horseback?? That reminds me of a guy I saw traveling along the highway near Paisley Oregon one year. He had a couple of horses and a mule. I had some videos of him, found out...

I was in similar situations and learned losing my credit in my 20s wasn't a good idea. If I were in your shoes, which I'm not so can't say what's right for you, is to try for a seasonal job with say, Coolworks.com or Xanterra. I've had good experiences with them, and only one bad one. But I...

I hadn't thought too much about a trailer I could pull with my truck.  One reason of course is the age and mileage of my truck, '94 Mazda B3000 Cab plus.  I always, or try to always mention the "cab plus" because that's such a great place to put extras, but adds to weight too.  I will look...

I doubt I'd do anything I wasn't really sure of, and again, I appreciate your input because will be hoping I can get some seasonal work as well.  And also, hoping to find a less expensive rig that will work for me.  Thanks again, I want to be conscientious about it, but hopefully not just sit...

My truck is still an option, I think it's too small, and it is a '94 with high mileage.  I just don't feel as secure in it as I think I would in a newer rig.  But it is definitely still an option and it would be hard to give it up.

yes, I do get that now, I realize it was a silly question.  I don't think borrowing is out of the question for me though, if I find a good deal.

I've been scoping out seasonal jobs but most don't have housing.  That's mostly where the Van thing came into play.  Depending on total cost of Van, I do have a pretty good down payment.  Because I can afford more, I am hoping to find something for less money.  I'm looking at owners selling, not...

Yes, it wouldn't be an easy decision and I will take my time.  I like running thing by someone, and I think this is the best place since people have either been there, or are there with the life-style ;)
