That really makes sense, "Don't build it until you need it." I like that line. Otherwise, you're only guessing. (And I'm very good at guessing wrong).

I agree with you wholeheartedly. I started out with "sketches on paper" 'cause you really do need to "THINK first", not just jump blindly into building. But you are missing the main point of my first message that began this thread, which is that one needs to physically experience living in...

Here is the best video I've ever seen that takes your totally simple approach: HOW TO BUILD A STEALTH VAN IN ONE DAY Great video, and he explains he did it in one morning, with no mechanical tools!

If the top is off, it won't have a problem. But there can be unexpected situations, like when someone showering thinks, "Brrrr! That water is still too cold. I need to heat it longer." and doesn't stop to take the top off again before sliding the bottle back over the stove burner. And then...

I'm one of those people who lack imagination. So for me, it's largely a matter of relying on the rule: "Necessity is the mother of invention." I knowingly put myself in situations where "necessity" is going to occur, and usually "invention" shows up on its own without much coaxing. If it...

A agree totally with jacqueg. No need to "reinvent the wheel", but wheels come in so many different sizes and types, with different treds intended for different purposes. For me, I have no need for a frig, or a cook stove, or a built-in sink; so I don't have them. But I love working in water...

Last night in the vanlife chat room (held Tuesday evenings from 7pm to 10pm), I was talking with someone who hired a carpenter that used everything from a table saw to a router, to help him build out a flawless van interior. And he told me the van that resulted is truly BEAUTIFUL inside. But...

I shudder when people speak of using a metal weed sprayer, due to the temptation to heat it on your stove as you would a teapot. The extreme danger is that the water could easily exceed the normal temperature of boiling and then explode the container, coating you -- confined in your van -- with...

I'm very happy with my showering system, which is: (1) Heat a pan of water to almost boiling on your cook stove. (2) As that water is heating, put 2 or 3 times that much water in a bucket. (3) Poor the heated water into the bucket with the cold, and stir a little. (4a) I use this German 12-volt...

It doesn't "simply have to be accepted". First-hand experience with the devil isn't that hard to come by. See page 39-40 in my online book for details.

(????) OK. I'm a bit lost. The original subject was The earth is flat!!! introduced by rruff. And several of us were really enjoying researching the issue and coming back to post our findings in support of our choice of either Flat Earth or Round Earth viewpoints. After a couple of days of...

Well, I'm ready to stop talking about the "Flat Earth" theory, due to the lack of solid evidence. I had accepted a Flat Earth as a real possibility because of my belief that we live in a cosmic hologram where anything is possible. But in seeking proof the earth is flat, every concept I've...

Morgan's Parrot, did you see comment #43 above? It is my long reply to your comment #41. You may not have been notified since I saved it before remembering to make it a reply to you. So then I added the "reply" section to the top of it later, saving it again. (Also, you have your private...

I also speak from experience. That alcohol is great! We got scabies! (...that tiny bug too small to see, that bites you all over your back and legs, leaving itchy red bumps everywhere.) We sprayed everything where we thought they might be hiding; like for the bed, we sprayed the sheets until...

I watched the three Birds Arent Real videos on their website, and all three were people talking who did not show any evidence. In addition, their claims are far too extreme: (1) They say billions of birds were killed all across America by government spraying and were simultaneously replaced with...

Thank you, Carla. I'll study through each of the links you gave me. You are getting me closer to what I'm actually here searching for. I'm neither a proponent of the "flat earth" nor the "round earth" theories. My view is that it's all a kind of hologram, like where the Bible says "In Him we...

Ok. This is dated oct. 18, 2021, and is more of an article discussing this same topic, referring to papers both old and new...

I don't mean to be a "troll" at all. (Hope I'm not.) It's a huge frustration in my physical world where I live that I find it SO HARD to get anyone to see and understand things of major interest to me. On those subjects, they cling to incredibly limited views as though afraid to learn more. Why...

Yes, Burbridge did the pioneering work in 1968, but the paper I'm referencing is from 1976 and states, "As of June 1975 there were 384 quazars in the category we are considering." Thus making the value "about 50 times as large as the one calculated by Burbridge in (1968)". But the above dates...

Well, BelgianPup, I often delete parts of a quote to make it easy for anyone to focus on the part I'm responding to. But when I do omit words, I always replace them with four dots ". . . .". I do that so anyone can see something is left out and go to the original comment to see the rest if they...
