    Possible new get-together re personal safety

    I saw this video on jamie's website, apparently inspired by the van build get-together idea: -

    Traveling in Montana- split from: If you have chest pains..

    Matter of fact, one reason I bought the van is so I can spend a good deal of time camping in Montana. Lots of grizzlies up there. Needing a hard-sided tent. Have to go in May or June before the fire season takes off.

    cheap towns to live in

    Various people have expressed interest in finding less expensive places to live, if not being on the road full-time.  And there have been comments by various people about going to a small town, where apartment rents in the $500-600 range can be found. My choice would actually be a small town...

    I played with my poop

    Well, I'm still experimenting with different methods to get rid of the contents of pooping in a bag. There have been several long threads on this, but I didn't see any really "good" solutions. I am hoping to head south in the next month or so, so have been playing at home. Of first note, it...

    van life sucks

    This guy doesn't have much viewership, but this video was a total hoot. I figured best not to attach this to another thread, as it has a totally different orientation. Let it stand on its own. "Have you ever smelled what liver and onions smell like, 5 days after you cooked it in your van?". -

    Interest groups at RTR ????

    I am wondering whether there might a central table at RTR with lists where people can sign up for specific interest groups, and can then congregate ala similar interests. Eg, - hikers - kayakers - Texas barbeque - 4x4ers - guitar pickers - "walk-in" movies - &etc

    Endeavor to perservere

    If I get to RTR, I guess I'll have to start wearing my "Best Change Your Ways" headband. Darn.

    Drone Rules

    Woof, anyone having a drone (not me) might like to take a look at new rules being implemented by Congress and the FAA. Subtitle B—Unmanned Aircraft Systems in the pdf file. Too much for me to interpret. The IEEE page has a summary of some items, about halfway down the page...

    50,000,000 views

    In about 3 more days, Nomadic Fanatic will go over 50-million views. I think that must be some sort of record for RV nomads. I believe he was at RTR last january. Probably showing off his cat. https://www.youtube.com/user/nomadicfanatic/videos

    True Grit - for noobees and wannabees

    A lot of newcomers express ambivalent feelings about ... taking that final step into the ... Unknown.  As a noobee myself, I've been following RV-Carolyn's exploits for the past year. This woman is tough. Currently in Alaska looking for grizzly bears and moose. Walking barefoot across ice-cold...

    Haunted by this video

    This was originally attached to another thread that people had vacated. I find I am recursively haunted by it. Very heavy-duty stuff here. Warning: adult-level material. Starting around 9:10, Mike is sleeping in his truck and the "popo" starts rapping on the window and has his hand on his...

    Newcomer - Old Timer

    I'm kind of a newcomer to this sort of lifestyle, and just ran across this guy who's been doing RV Nomad for 40 years now. So thought I would post these links so other newcomers can get some reality. http://mobilecodgers.blogspot.com/

    Smoke in the High Sierra

    Just thought I would pass this along for anyone coming this way. The fire down near Yosemite that started just this past weekend is making a mess out of breathable air in the Sierra and all the way up to Reno. July arrives and the west starts burning everywheres, see the map...

    How to Survive and Find Income

    This probably belongs in another section of the forum, but ... NPR had a report this morning about people living in cheap, and usually horrid, extended stay motels in towns having high tourism. Since the tourists gobble up all the usual accommodations, the low paid "workers" have difficulty...

    How many are there? Statistics

    Bob Wells apparently gets criticism from whoever/whatever/wherever that he is encouraging too many people to get into cheap RV living, and all of those newcomers will ruin it for everyone else by overrunning the land, on and on and on. So I was wondering about actual real-world statistics. ...
