    The Most and Least Expensive Car Insurance Rates by State

    I just learned today that Social Security is going down 1% per year until it reaches 33%. Definitely going to lock in my 47% instead of 50% in three years when I file. What a nightmare, waiting through the pros and cons of the different Medicare options.

    I saw somebody flipping Jason off regarding dogs off leashes. Seems like there was some disrespect; entitled trolls.

    Pirate Camp Winter Season '23-24

    In 2020 we were at Palm Canyon boondocking, and in the late afternoon it felt like I had a mosquito bite on the back of my neck. Luckily, the friend I was Boondocking with was concerned and rushed me to urgent care before dawn the next morning. By then I had two more red dots on one shoulder...

    I can’t find a single video on van build and BLUETTI (B300/AC300) storage. Argh.

    I have a B300 (x2) and an AC300 and I’m trying to figure out the safest way to configure them into the van build. Any ideas and pictures or video would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much!

    Issues with HOWA

    Awww 😢 I heard that Doug in the video with Bob has passed on - he seemed to be a very kind person. the dice game Tyll played - learned it when I was a child - we always called it ‘Zilch’ - what did Tyll call it again?

    Off topic posts split from "How do u live on $700/month, truly?"

    ZERO regulations in Douglas county Missouri. but living off grid is so much more complicated and even though I am 100% off grid there’s so many costs that come up. So many technicalities and things I never thought of no matter how many years I planned or how much research I did. Living off grid...

    Opinions from Ram ProMaster owners

    I have taken my Promaster over a lot of different terrain the last three years. The only time I can think of that we have palms was in Colorado when we drove into a snowbank and it took a bit of patients and digging to get out. My husband is a mechanic and he said overall the Promaster has...
