    Unconventional (or conventional) tips and tricks to stay warmer

    ^^dragonstar Yup, it's 16°F right now and when I went out to my truck I literally said to myself "I don't need a hat, it's a freaking heat wave out here." (To compare, last night was -19°F, so really it IS a heat wave.) It's amazing what you're body can get acclimated to as "normal" when you...

    grilled cheese recipes/tips/techniques/hacks

    ^^Kaylee - brats and sauerkraut on pizza does sound good. I've had them and caramelized onions as filling in an omelette. It was great. ^^MrNoodly - I saw that same commercial. It turns out pretty good. ~angie Sent from my VS501 using Tapatalk

    My Ice House/Fish House adventure begins

    More fun on the ice- So, a Minnesota fisherman caught and released this record breaking 6.5 foot long monster sturgeon a couple days ago on the St Croix river. I heard an interview with him about how they had to keep cutting more and more holes just to be able to pull it out of water. It's an...

    grilled cheese recipes/tips/techniques/hacks

    ^^^ I do the same lid trick to get the cheese to melt low and slow, Maki. My ex used to make grilled cheese with sauerkraut. At first it was weird, but it's really like a minimalist reuben sandwich. The trick is to use a paper towel and squeeze most of the liquid out of the sauerkraut so the...

    Unconventional (or conventional) tips and tricks to stay warmer

    It has though, my feet stay warmer longer with it wrapped in a sweater than when I used to wrap it in just a tshirt. This is precisely the reason I use the sweater. When I reheat the water from the hot water bottle I pour about 3/4 of it out, boil it, and pour it back in the bottle (which is...

    We are new

    For me, the biggest two factors that informed my decision on what type of rig to get were my finances and the "cold weather livability" of the rig. For you, depending on where you are in the country, those biggest factors may be other things. Where are you planning on traveling most? Old...

    We are new

    Hello Dave and Becky and welcome to the forum. I'm hesitant to recommend what you should do first because I don't know your current living situation, what you have now as a vehicle and how reliable it is, what your goals are long term or short term, and what your resources are. I suspect you...

    Unconventional (or conventional) tips and tricks to stay warmer

    Hey everybody! I don't assume that all forum members/readers also follow the CRVL YouTube channel. So, in case you missed them, Bob posted two new videos on his YouTube channel about staying warm. Since they are relevant to the subject of this thread, I thought I'd link them here. Have a...

    Hello Small town songs and welcome to the forum. Interesting handle you picked there [emoji846] I'm from MN. There's lots of generous people on the forums. My advice to newcomers is to read as much of it as you can ( not all at once, of course) but especially the thread that you might not...

    Too Nice

    About 9 years ago after my second divorce and a prolonged custody battle from my first husband that was wearing me down I was venting to a dear friend about the whole thing. I was told then that "Ang, your problem is that you tolerate bad behavior for far too long." It was probably the most...

    Unconventional (or conventional) tips and tricks to stay warmer

    Aww, thanks. But I really sorta see myself as more of a cold weather culture ambassador. Lol So I advocate for a lot of things that people from warmer climates might think are completely bonkers. On the other hand, I have a lot to learn about dealing with hot climates. I lived in northern Texas...

    Unconventional (or conventional) tips and tricks to stay warmer

    So two days ago my friend introduced me to HotsnapZ. They are reusable handwarmers that you can "recharge" by heating them up again in boiling water. I'm not really sure HOW they work, but I do know THAT they work. When she first handed them to me she took them out of her purse and they were...

    What are YOU listening to??

    ^^MaTaLa Yeah it's pretty intense. Of all the songs on that album, it's definitely the darkest. It's amazing to me that a song with identical lyrics can have almost the opposite feeling when performed by someone else. Some covers change meaning because the new artist(s) actually change the...
