Public land enforcement priority should switch from calendar days to litter. It is a blatant violation of the law to do what that officer did. Filming the officer should help. For what it is worth our last election was most generally a vote against this sort of legal abuse including from...

If not so equipped a smartphone bluetooth speaker for the music lover.

I’m looking forward to the Q&A for discussion about practice. The use of the name Van Build is solely my own projection. I don’t even know if Jamie Dimon would approve, but I’m sure he would forgive me...

I just got a small air fryer, love it.

It’s curious how much attention this video is getting, here and on mainstream social media. I didn’t watch the video long enough to catch the trailer, thanks for mentioning the make and model in this thread. I will look it up. Still, it seems like a slightly odd choice. I am a big fan of...

I wonder if the BLM will wait until the winter season ends to announce their final decision.

Van Aid is looking for someone to run the carpentry camp, or ‘cog’ as they are calling it for the November Van Aid, starting Monday November 18 through thanksgiving on the 28th.

Honey crisp are the best commonly available now, but the Braeburn was a just a bit tarter, and better. It’s a shame they are no longer available. The also very good pink lady also seems to be disappearing.

Don’t do it, except in an absolute emergency. Starter batteries are not designed for this use, rather to provide maximum amps when starting. Doing so will quickly destroy the starter battery, money better spent on a proper solution. Short of a full solar system a portable power station is...

The BLM Yuma office is out of touch and rationalizing bad management with comments like this. And no doubt any objections to their failed authority will be rationalized as harassment, etc. The whole system is built this way, certainly since 2008 and likely from the GW Bush administration when...

There is an online meeting tonight, Wednesday September 11, 6pm mountain time. https://blm.zoomgov.com/meeting/register/vJItf-qpqT8rE5JEMXYpKlzqtT81ztxiN0o#/registration

Although there is likely a need for an LTVA fee increase, not this much. I’d like to see budget numbers, plus hearings when users are actually present, December and January. Also moderators, can you split this off as a separate topic?

I have a USB powered mini swamp cooler fan, cheap from TEMU. It's really something you want directly pointed at you, but it would help in a smaller rig. I don't have a link. There is a lot of junk on TEMU, but this wasn't. I've never had to return anything that didn't work. This product...

Yeah, and we need to be listened to more, and help to solve the problems. There are plenty more spots, not an issue in my life span. We can help make sure camps have a good vibe.

My most popular spot on FreeCampsites is some BLM land very near the entrance to Mesa Verde National Park. It has gone designated dispersed. I don’t agree with everything they’ve done, but something needed to happen. Designated dispersed is still free, it just stops new camps being created...

That does seem to be the gist of it, but how it is actually working I don’t know. The transition from dispersed to designated dispersed is necessary in busy areas, but it’s always seemed a little bit over restrictive.

Envision Chafee is the public lands community organization that has spearheaded recent dispersed camping changes. This isn’t my area in Colorado, but I have heard them speak to my SW Colorado County Commissioners, before Covid. They are well organized, and presumably, well funded. I am too...

It’s just about setting a new routine. I too brush outside, and make sure to scruff up the ground where I spit with my foot. Using less toothpaste saves mess inside and out, as well as money.

Jason Simonds, RVNaught on this forum, is looking for someone to take over Van Aid. I am certain there are a few people here that would be strong contenders. It is a lot of work, to make it work well you need a good informal team - also something this forum can support. EDIT: The link is...
