    Making a solar oven with reflective mylar.

    Actually, unless you have a microwave like Bob says he has, frozen meals are the ideal reason to have a solar oven. Though some places this time of year you could just set them out in the sun half an hour and they've steaming hot.

    Abandoned Retail Parking Lots

    The idea of the massive parking lot conversion into parking and camping space for RV's, tents and vagabonds would be funde din part by charging a fee. Just like a campground, RV park etc. The charge would be regulated and not sent on a free-market spiral into the stratisphere - only charging...

    Vandwelling is cool, but stealthing = homeless?

    It's that "stealthing" is concealing your presence for a reason. Your presence at a particular time is either illegal or in violation of the property owner's regulations. To many that makes you an outlaw. There is also the image of those who creep around in the dark of night in a vehicle with...

    Vandwelling is cool, but stealthing = homeless?

    Colleges are thinking about having "safe parking" areas in their parking lots for their students to spend the night in their car. They realize that a large percentage of their student body are living in cars and that it only makes sense to have safe places to sleep where there don't have to...

    Stop poop bags from smelling for about $15. No I'm not kidding!!!

    Except when you exclude air, you encourage the growth of aerobic (grows only where there's no oxygen present) bacteria, which is the most vile smelling, disease ridden kind of bacteria. Just be sure you're wearing a biohazard breathing apparatus when you eventually open that thing.

    Medford authorized churches to offer car camping for homeless on their parking lots

    I can't see any reason the church would have to remain open. They just inform local police to add a  patrol a couple of times a night to be sure no one is building a bonfire or trying to break into the church. Otherwise someone from the church checks in once a day to make sure campers (parkers?)...

    BLM Ranger Grilling Boondocker

    I was responding to a post noting that the BLM guy was not armed. USFS I have seen have been literally "loaded for bear" since in places they have to deal with marauding bears in campgrounds. They also might be called upon by local law enforcement to apprehend outlaws in the wilds. Many have...

    Landowner ends public access to BLM land

    I see. Like that post you deleted implicating the current administration for selling of public land. What more concerns those intending to reside on public land?

    BLM Ranger Grilling Boondocker

    The BLM guy was obviously not coming back with a gun "all tactical". He was easy going and said he was going to let it be - for now. Now if it had been a Forest Service Law Enforcement officer (which are always heavily armed), things might have turned out different.

    Youtube on the current status of WalMart's overnight parking policies

    And what isn't "clickbait".  Bob's said he makes decent money off his videos and I'm more than fine with that. He obviously works hard to produce a fine product many benefit from. I'd say the same about this lady's youtube.

    Youtube on the current status of WalMart's overnight parking policies

    I've stayed in WalMart lots a time or two. And the reason I posted this link is that I agree 100% with it and wanted to share it with other cheap nomads.

    Umbrella Association/We Become Targets

    Your concerns regarding a backlash against what is being referred to as "residential camping", "non-recreational camping" is warranted. Laws are indeed sweeping the country at light speed.

    BLM Ranger Grilling Boondocker

    Or he probably could have read a sign at the road leading to the area. But too many taking to public land these days got caught up on the 'live on public land' frenzy being stirred up on youtube these days. They think that if the are not allowed to park anywhere on public land, that they should...
