    Buy or wait on renogy lithium iron phosphate batteries

    I’m going to buy a van and do a build out next year and upgrade the batteries from my deep cycle gold batteries. I’ve been doing interior designing and roof design stuff and found these batteries 23% off. Renogy Lithium Iron Phosphate Battery 12 Volt 170 Amp Hour...

    Ford Transit Cargo Exterior Roof Dimensions

    Anyone have the exterior roof dimensions (particularly the roof) of the 2019 ford transit cargo high roof extended? I’ve got a new build in the back of my mind a year or two out and I’m doing some layout design stuff because why not. I can’t seem to find any dimensions for the exterior of the...

    Fax or Scan near Ehreneberg

    Hey all, I’ve recently gotten a job in wildland firefighting with the federal government and the first step i need to print out some forms and fax or scan them and send them in.  The problem is I’m camped in Ehreneberg and I’ve never had to fax anything while traveling. Do libraries provide...

    Camp Host position in a minivan?

    When I got a job as a host a couple years ago it was pretty easy, you just have to do the leg work and make the calls. Look up all the camp sites in the area you want to be in, they always list if there’s bathrooms, hookups, showers etc from my experience. My campground was pretty remote and...

    Anyone in their 20’s?

    I’m in my mid 20’s and have been traveling for the better part of 3 years with breaks here and there to build up the bank account again. I’ll be in ehreneberg in a week or two, but I probably won’t make it out to the rtr. I went 2 years ago and it wasn’t quite my thing. I’m pretty sure there...

    The Beginning of a Never Ending Adventure

    Time for the every few month update again. Since the last time I posted I’ve been home, back to Colorado, home then to New Mexico where I’m currently at. I’m getting a job in wildland firefighting next year so was meeting up with some potential crews, only to be not referred in this region but...

    The Beginning of a Never Ending Adventure

    I made it to Colorado April 27th I think it was, and have been shed hunting since. Just got back to reception for the first time in a while to find out one of my absolute favorite spots I’ve ever camped is engulfed in a 41,000+ acre fire because some dumbass couldn’t respect a fire ban that had...

    The Beginning of a Never Ending Adventure

    There’s seems to be a reoccurring theme to nearly every night lately; waking up to critters outside. Ive has a confirmed bear visitor at 5:30 AM, something that had some loud thudding but slow steps one night they, “hey bear” seemed to deter the other way, I expect that was a moo cow. Then...

    Is this a viable workamping scenario?

    I worked at a primitive campground a couple years ago for one summer, there were only a couple issues I had. One I wasn’t aware of until after the fact there was a domestic dispute that had the police called apparently. The others were just dogs, loud campers and someone thinking it would be...

    Living in crew cab tacoma?

    Not a Tacoma but I’m living out of the bad of a crew cab Silverado with an ARE topper. Last year I went for 5idsh months, this year I intend longer. Being able to sleep with legs fully extended is a must. Last year I couldn’t the entire time and it was borderline miserable some nights...

    TT/5th Wheel Shopping

    I had the pleasure of lugging a 21 foot fifth wheel from Michigan>Colorado>Arizona>Michigan over the course of a year, and I have to say it handle it better than I ever expected. You won’t be going the speed limit going up passes and the mountains, and you’ll often have a line of cars in any...

    The Beginning of a Never Ending Adventure

    Guess it’s time for my semi annual update. I’ve been back traveling since March 3rd, put in the first true day of Shed Hunting and pulled 2 out, can’t complain about that in 4 hours. This time I came with an enduro motorcycle on the back and even got the dog to ride comfortably with a little...

    Video Editing Software

    Well I have to eat my words about adobe premiere. I reinstalled and tried again. 3.5 minute clip. Contained 18 different video clips and a couple small audio files with minor effects transitions etc. The render only took 2 minutes and the export took 5ish. Uploaded to YouTube in less than...

    Video Editing Software

    Thanks for all the quick responses. I agree it makes no sense but that is what adobe has done with every since late 2015 if I recall correctly. I have the Acer Predator Helios 300. Everything I’ve found with the BIOS stated that it’s not an option with this laptop. I’ve already set...

    Video Editing Software

    I was really looking to Premiere, so I’m pretty bummed something that (seems) as simple as them including disabling something in BIOS. None of the other software is popular enough to have reviews stating if you can choose the graphics card or it auto selects regardless of settings.

    Video Editing Software

    I’ve recently purchased a laptop with both integrated graphics and Nvidia 1060.  I expected Adobe Premiere Pro to work flawlessly, but that would be too easy.  Long story short premiere used integrated automatically and it can only be changed in BIOS, which come to find out, in the laptop I...

    Battery storage

    well I ran out of enough money to feel comfortable and the sheds dried up so I'm back home to work until next spring.  I think took me 3 weeks to finally begin breaking down the rig setup. I have two options for battery storage; basement that lets in moisture like it's its job, or the attic...

    The Beginning of a Never Ending Adventure

    Haven't updated in a while again. Didn't find many antlers since the last posts, funds are running lower than I'd like. Headed back to Michigan to get a job until spring rolls around.
