    Hiking and Back/Bikepacking

    Hello, all! I thought I'd throw this out there.... As part of our, "social distancing," adventures, my 13-year-old son and I are planning on completing the southern portion of the Idaho Centennial Trail (from Nevada border, near Jarbridge Canyon/Bruneau River) to Canada, beginning with the...

    Is doing my finances on my phone safe?

    Be aware of this scam: (my sister works at a bank) Someone calls from your bank (spoofing the number of course). Needs you to verify your security questions to proceed. You give the answers... and then suddenly *poof!* you get disconnected! This scam caller then knows your security...

    WOMEN ONLY!!! Menstrual Cup Linked to Toxic Shock Syndrome

    I'm betting people probably skipped cleaning thoroughly part, and wearing them too long.

    WOMEN ONLY: Guns?

    I always carry Bear Mace with me. Never had to use it. The only time I have ever had a gun pulled on me was twice while working at Subway.... for sandwiches! The two times I have used a gun in defense was to fire two warning shots each. This was from my sticks and bricks home in Spokane...

    What to use to lay over my van's carpet?

    I like to use inexpensive area rugs to put over the factory carpet. That way, if they get something spilled on them I can hose them off and hang them over a fence on a hot day. Area rugs are also nice to create outdoor space for chairs or laying in the sun. The walk-off space keeps the dust...

    attending music fests

    Welcome, Reenleanne! I have done the music festival scene in my ,71 VW campervan.  It was wonderful!  I'm sure you're going to have many great adventures! I'm 5-2".  I enjoy my 1996 Dodge Grand Caravan by simply plopping my memory foam mattress in the middle of the floor lenghwise, and have...

    I MADE A REMOVABLE CARGO TRAILER BED!

    Weee!  Feeling VERY blessed.  My husband got *GIFTED* the old carpet cleaning cargo trailer from work.   Quite hilarious.  Everyone else got alcohol... fancy rum and such... but we noticed that not a single gift had his name on it.   Then, after everyone had oogled their fancy whiskey and...

    Stainless Steel Water Tank 2" shutoff valve?

    :shy:  I ordered the stainless steel drinking water tank, 8 gallon, on Amazon. I have a nifty way to strap it to a handtruck when I can't pull my van directly up to a water source.  One thing I did NOT think of, is a shutoff valve.  It is 2" diameter at the opening.   I built a bracket and I'd...

    How to store powders and oils?

    As a DIY doctor, I am finding myself inundated with baking soda and coconut oil leaking out of whatever container I put them in.  I clean my first aid/health supply kit and it's not long before my double ziplocked/duct tape enforced baking soda is spread out everywhere!  I am assuming that...

    Soaking in Hot Springs!!!

    I would say the hottest soak I have ever tolerated was one listed at 107 during a -10 degree day... so that would be one you might hop through quickly with shoes on to get to another cooler hot spring on a warmer day! It greatly depends on outside air temperature, how (or even if) cold water...

    Rainbow Nomads (LGBTQ+)

    Well!  How awesome is this?!  Thank you for putting this together, as I have considered doing so myself!  :)  The RTR is right smack dab in the middle of middle school finals week for our kids, so that's a to-go for us for a while but we sure would like to host regional gatherings.  Let's all...

    Sprayfoam Insulation

    Has anyone used Foam it Green, or any other type of spray-in insulation in their van?  I will be ordering two of these insanely expensive kits this spring.  They cover 200 sq. ft., and I have 300 sq. ft. of SheShed to insluate, so I would like to try this in my van with the remaining 100 sq...

    TeeSpring WRTR 2020 T-Shirts!!!

    Oooo!  Stumbled across the new women's t-shirts for the 2020 WRTR watching Bob's live feed from yesterday (today, Thursday, a day later).  The color choices are awesome and I just love the graphic.  Who designed it?!  It is lovely!  I finally settled on the backround colors:  "gold," which looks...

    IDAHO! Where are my Idaho people?

    Oh man - do I have a place in mind? Well, a couple actually - several that I know the details on how long you can stay, (5-14 days), and many people in the surrounding communities of Lowman (private property with RV space and a B&B - good friend of mine) near Haven HS, Kirkham CG Tenmile, and...

    IDAHO! Where are my Idaho people?

    Hello Everyone! Currently living 3 weeks on 1 week off.  I have a tiny home on property in Spokane, WA and a Dodge Caravan "second home," for adventuring.  Are there any other really serious hotsprings-seekers?  My ideal boondocking spots are ones with hot water to soak in, and I have a growing...
