    Mexico

    After binge watching YT videos of expats travelling/living in Mexico, I'm ready to take my first solo trip driving south of the border. The last time I was in Cabo, I found out a few weeks after I got back home that several severed body parts were discovered a couple miles away from the fancy...

    Pahrump to Vegas

    Can anyone tell me what the road is like from Tonopah NV via Pahrump to Vegas? I'm taking my sister to the airport and want to make sure I allow enough time. Is it 2 or 4 lanes, with any significant changes in elevations? TYI

    The "Alexa" invasion

    My desperation to become a full time nomad and escape into nature has increased exponentially within the last 24 hours. I just got done convincing myself that the next 3 years will fly by, when I can kiss my 20 years of civil servitude, and interminable winters, goodbye with a decent pension...

    CA and NY are going to make you pay to leave them!

    "CA..becomes very aggressive with respect to making you prove that you essentially changed your domicile.” “The burden of proof is on the taxpayer to prove where he is, or she is, and it can be very close,” Christensen said. “We’ve seen this come down to where your pet is.” Well there's a...

    trailer choices are legion

    https://taxaoutdoors.com/ So I'm reading the news online and a local sales ad for a Tigermoth pops up. I've been researching tow options for a couple of years and have never heard of or seen this company. These look like sweet little trailers, although even on sale are pretty steep. Anyone run...

    How to approach a solo woman

    So I'm walking my dogs Thanksgiving morning in a deserted county park. Out of the corner of my eye, I see a guy walking in my direction, no other cars/people in sight. I do an avoidance turn and walk faster; he follows. I do another avoidance maneuver and jog a bit; he follows. Final strategy is...

    In-cab sleep system

    So I finally got my NotelUSA www.notelusa.com sleep platform. It was a relatively smooth set up, attached with adjustable straps to the back headrests and side and front grab handles. I added a foam yoga block to the center console to get the appropriate height and stability since my passenger...

    Hi, I'm wondering if anyone can recommend self-storage companies in the Sioux Falls SD area. Also if you know which to stay away from. Or if you are using a mail forwarder in that area and they have connections with any. Thanks.

    ****, in particular, baking

    Does anyone have experience baking pepperoni slices, cheese chips, riced cauliflower crusts, etc. without a real oven? I'm thinking on the lines of Jim in Denver's sun oven, but I think it may not get hot enough. Or might a cast iron Dutch oven work? Or something else?

    How can this be considered "living?"

    I'm in a bit of a quandry and am just expressing some thoughts here to see if anyone has nuggets of wisdom to share or just wants to commiserate. My priorities have changed and I'm trying to find a way to communicate this to someone I love and who I thought I was going to live out the "golden...

    dust & dirt

    I searched for a discussion on this, but had no luck, so: Those of you who spend a lot of time in the windy plains/desert, doesn't your dwelling get a lot of dust/dirt in it? How do you deal with it?
