Oh, I wanted to add that it can even take a long time to manage the media in the workflow process (backup, RAID storage, cataloging every clip, etc.) before it even gets to the editing stage. And also, consider that the filmmaker might look at the footage and decide that the RTR is part of a...

Feature-length documentaries can take quite a long time to complete. Years, even. All the YouTube vids out there might lead one to believe that making a doc is quick and easy, but it's not like that if you are a pro working with professional equipment, want high production values, and need to...

OP, all your posts are sermons and lectures. Take inventory of your own life and maybe you'll realize you've drunk the Kool-Aid. Most of these retire-at-30 bloggers and Tim Ferris disciples are just part of a big pyramid scheme. They get people to visit their websites, subscribe to the...

A similar thing happens with housesitting. There are plenty of people who happily accept housesitting gigs for no pay, because they just think it's great to be able to stay in someone's beautiful home and not pay for a hotel or worry about rent. But the more people are willing to housesit...

I didn't take offense. Your previous post prompted a thought process in me and so I added another point of view to the discussion . In general, I never see much use in taking offense over something a stranger on the internet said..

I generally don't click on links to videos. Instead, could you give brief answers my questions? Thanks!

Is Slab City actually the name of a place or is it a nickname? Where is it and what's the appeal? I never heard of it before seeing mention of it now and then on this forum. Sorry for being lazy - I'm on my phone and can't google right now.

I live in NYC, too, and I've never owned a car but it's always been my understanding that, with any used vehicle, for any purpose, one should bring along a mechanic (or someone who knows their ****) before buying. I'm nowhere near ready to buy a vehicle for nomadding yet, but finding...

Just because a particular lifestyle turns out to be less satisfying than one anticipates, or just doesn't seem to work out for someone, does NOT necessarily mean that the person didn't have the cajones for it. To take the stance that a nomadic way of living is always superior to a stationary...

I think you may want to post your questions at a forum for bus converters and dwellers, such as skoolie.net or busconversions.com.

I'm not a camper, and likely never will be. Only went camping twice in my life, didn't learn anything and didn't enjoy it. I'm still in the research and learning stage, so I'm not a nomad yet. Right now I am totally broke so it will be a long while before I'm ready to buy a vehicle and start...

There are no Walmarts in NYC. There aren't very many parking lots, either -- not for free, anyway. I would just look for a quiet neighborhood (maybe upper east side close to the East River, near the hospitals) and park on the street. But you would need to move it or sit in it every few days...

Cooking outdoors is great for boondockers, rural travelers, and those who stay in campgrounds, etc. However, many nomads (and many people hoping to become nomads) like to stay in small towns and cities more often than not. So, for us, cooking outdoors might not be possible most of the time or...

But why 12? Where does that number come from? That's what I'm curious about. Who decided that vehicles should all use 12v and why? Oh, and about keeping battery systems separate from each other - I give up. I thought keeping them separated was the point and now it looks like, with all the...

With all VBulletin forums, the search term has to be a minimum of 4 characters long. So searching for just the term SSI, for example, will yield nothing. Some forums I've been on will accept a space as a 4th character, but I don't know if this one does. When you find a thread you want to...

It's not the type of battery that is confusing me. It is what gets hooked up to the system it runs. Here is an example. Let's say I have a car and it is an average car with a battery under the hood. That battery is there for all the usual things car batteries use. Now, let's say there is...

Not difficult for anyone who already understands this stuff, I suppose. However, difficult for me. I still don't get it. I was under the assumption that the point of solar or any battery bank is to power stuff (like fridges, A/Cs, computers, etc.) with its own standalone system that doesn't...

Since you need the job and benies until you're ready to get on the road, then just focus on doing your job well, and don't reveal personal info about yourself or your plans to your coworkers. And don't take stuff from the workplace without permission AND some kind of large tote bag to carry it...

You need something for the urban nomads and vandwellers. Not everyone boondocks in the desert.

Why can't you jump a vehicle that is set up with a higher than 12v system? I thought all these power systems are supposed to be separate from the car battery. If you have solar panels feeding a battery bank that powers higher voltage appliances, how does that affect being able to jumpstart the...
