    I'm free!

    I made it!  Sitting in the Mark Twain National Forest at a free campsite I found online. The campsite has a picnic table, fire ring, a vault toilet and even a pressurized water pump. I brought 15 1/2 gallons of water for 15 days so I should be good, but never hurts to have a water source.  ...

    Car thermostat....

    Ready, Set....Go List

    Ok, so for the last few months I have been gathering what I think I will need for camping out of my car.  The last 30 days I have been eating the shelf ready foods and fresh fruits and veggies I plan on eating while camping in the backcountry.  Just in case, ya know?  Not a good time for upset...

    While researching internet options, for on the road, I came across InfiniteLTE.  It's $80 month. The startup price is $250 (first months plan payment, activation fee, shipping and equipment-small device you plug into any USB port). The reviews online were really great, I was wondering if any...
