    Travel Blender

    Found this on one of my junk mail sites. The description says it all. ""We feel your pain. Nothing says first-world tragedy like camping with no way to make kale/bacon/acai berry smoothies.

    Stirring the Pot of Controversy.

    There is a poster on this forum that finds controversial ideas and reports one sided stories. I vote we should not take the bait and let them talk to them selves.

    Interesting mod for a jeep. JXL

    This is a proposed modification from a company in Texas. I think they are only taking pre-orders. But it is a good concept. Make your own. https://www.americansafarijxl.com/home

    EAST OF THE MISSISSIPPI

    I am in South Jersey. Most in my range have stayed hunkered down from bitter cold and snow. While I look out today on more snow and cold north wind, the warm weather is close. The buds on the trees, birds mating, and the returning migratory hawks indicate fairer weather. While I would like a...

    What is a diferential? u-tube

    This is a 9 1/2 minute video from 1937. While it starts with a typical Police Motorcycle Drill, it is the best explanation of your vehicle's differential. (Rear axial.) I hope you can enjoy.

    Social Security COLA rant :(

    So, us old guys, your grandparents, got a SS increase of 2% for 2018. Wow. every one will hear about that. What you don't know, is Medicare premiums go up $25 per month. They are prohibited from raising premiums more than benefit increases, so they do raise premiums to the increase. I end up...

    My smart battery charger.

    I took some time to watch my chargers while they charge my battery banks. The first is from Craftsman Diehard. It has a transformer that depending on the exact grid voltage has a steady voltage of about 14 V DC. The resistance of the battery gradually increases and the resistance causes the amps...

    Are lithium power packs good for House Bank?

    Are there any real life experience with any of the lithium "generators"?  I'm thinking of such as Anker Power House 400 Watt, or Suaoki 400 watt portable solar generator.  I don't see how they could be good for a van dweller. Any experience?

    Wire lengths for solar panels. Where is GotSmart?

    I have searched and failed to get any answer. When connecting 4 solar panels in parallel, how important is it to have the wires leading to a junction box equal length. ie; One panel would need 15 feet, while the last would need 8 feet. I will use 8AWG cables to the junction box and then two...

    Wood Gas Camp Stove, how to

    I don't care to learn new tricks such as posting photos on this forum. This link on Instructables is pretty much what I made. Be careful while building, very sharp edges.  http://www.instructables.com/id/Woodgas-Can-Stove/
