    Searching for my own Walden

    Yes! I agree with everything "Almost There" said.   :idea: Also consider a rig's height, & the ability to stand up inside (very nice to have). Windows with venting (nice).  Roof venting (required, imho, but others here know better than I do).  And the ability to run & charge all the electrical...

    Sequoia National Forest, Y'all!

    So i did remember correctly: you are in central Oregon!!  Ha!  So, I havent lost all my marbles!!    I'm DARN sure you have much bigger views where you are now, as you are up on a high semi arid or even slight desert-kinda area.    If high enough, where you're going will have so many trees ---...

    Solar kit, 400W, $1,100, Costco

    Hi all you learned ones ~   I thought I'd point out that Costco is offering Grape (brand) solar system, normally $1,400 for $1,100.   Must order it online.   I am not sure of the quality, functionality, or value of this system.  There are lower and higher power systems also available.  Perhaps...

    Van Life is Abnormal ?

    I agree 100%    In fact, if one looks (to closely) at the facts one will find that the worst & most immoral acts are done by very large groups, within the boundaries of "each other's approval" (read the word rationalization to make legal wholly immoral acts) To normalize one's self to a ill...

    Sequoia National Forest, Y'all!

    Congratulations - That is excellent!!   I'm excited for you!  The Sierra Nevada mtns are my most favorite!!  Even more so than the Oregon mtns (Bend, Sunriver, some areas even try (try) to compete with Crater Lake)     I like to go up in elevation in the summer, & simply head 50 - 90 miles...

    Some things I  learned @ a seminar last week

    No worries Surfer !!!   I say we all have minds, we should use them, we should speak them.    How can we develop our minds, discover the truth, uncover the rational,  if we never speak?

    2 acres for $1,314 in Helena Arkansas?

    Not to be a stick in the mud, but everyone is right. Do your homework. You're risking more than the price of the property ~ - the back taxes (for which the new owner , you, the buyer, is responsible) maybe out of this world. - toxic dumping (motor oil, batteries, electronic dump) may mean a...
