    Kitty Litter On The Road

    Which weight of sleeping bag?

    I sleep in the back of my Jeep with an insulated sleeping pad(I have the Big Agnes Q core) and my sleeping bag or just a blanket. But I have been doing some research on hiking the Appalachian Trail and most of the hikers are going to quilts rather than bags. Since down depends on the loft to...

    Hauling a Motorcycle

    Not saying it's a particularly good idea, but my 460# f650 fits on the hitch tray. Made it from MT to AL.

    what bike? (motorbike)

    Is that the ER-6N? Same motor as the Versys I think. It's been on my short list of possible bikes. But I'm a Vtwin kinda gal. I had a Vstrom 650 that I absolutely LOVED. Great touring as well. I could ride it like a sport bike but when I wanted to travel, it was a mule![/hr]

    Storage solutions- Tips and tricks.

    Store flat items under your mattress. I fold my extra blanket and linens this way.

    what bike? (motorbike)

    That pic was taken on Top of the World Hwy from Dawson City, YT, to Chicken, AK. I rode from Alabama to get there. All total about 500 miles on dirt/gravel. Lived out of 48liters of storage in my luggage, tent and all. Which makes car or van dwelling seem very spacious :)

    what bike? (motorbike)

    DR650 and KLR650 are good choices. Plenty of aftermarket and repair parts available. I don't think Suzuki has changed the DR since they first made them. Parts are interchangeable for any year model :) I currently have a BMWf650cs. Great bike. Rotax thumper with 62mpg no matter how I ride it...

    Any Collectors?

    My mantra: Don't collect things that collect dust. I have a notepad on my phone and I collect quotes and sayings, sometimes song lyrics and poems. It's still hard though. The material things I find myself attached to are family heirlooms. Silly things like my great grandmother's cast iron...

    Demystifying the Urban Stealth Legend

    I always get a good chuckle from threads about LEO encounters and fears when stealthing. My BF lives in a class B Ford conversion van during the week because he works 60 miles from where we live. He works in a small town, population about 28,000. Oh, yeah. He works....as a police officer :)...

    Motorcycling and Nomads: Who's doing it?

    Hahaha. Yes. Don, Yeti, Dred. He goes by many names here in Alabama. He's here now for a spell. We're riding this afternoon.

    North to Alaska

    There is a gravel parking lot across from the Laird River Hot Springs Park entrance. It's considered overflow camping for the Park. In the summer, if you arrive after 10pm or if the campground is full, you can park/camp there for free. There is an outhouse and dumpster. I don't remember if it...

    In case someone wants to look(and save me from myself! ) https://dothan.craigslist.org/tro/d/mobile-army-field-kitchen-mkt/6296964981.html It's near me if someone wants me to pick it up for them.

    Motorcycling and Nomads: Who's doing it?

    I have a friend with a skoolie. This is his second bus and this has been his set up on both. He started with a KLR and now has a BMW Xcountry. He's 6'4" so the smaller bikes are not really an option, though he has ridden my CT200. I hope to get a shorter 5 window bus and pull a trailer for my...

    New Idea for Hair Washing

    Yeah they are pricey, With research you can find better deals. You can use one cap twice with long hair, maybe three with short hair. It wouldn't be my normal routine, but I wouldn't mind having a couple for emergency use. I have used them with patients. I always used a wet wash cloth to wipe...

    inflateable Kayak ????

    I have an Intex inflatable that I got from Academy. It comes with a break down paddle and an inflation device that all pack down into the carrying case. A couple of reasons I bought it were the packability and the price. I have a Ford van camper and hang it in the shower to dry before packing. I...

    Mosquitoes and bugs?

    I use these. They slide over the door/window. I got mine over 15yrs ago in a clearance bin at Walmart.

    Is a Jeep Patriot realistic?

    I travel in my Jeep Liberty with a foam mattress in the back, but I'm 5'1". My BF is 5'8" and he has no problem. Before we sleep, we move the front seats all the way forward and tilt them forward. I bought foam from an online upholstery company. 4" thick. I think it's 48" wide(?) and I cut...
