First of all I would like to say Bob is an amazing and genuine person. I have never met him, but I have watched almost all of his videos and seen all the help and information he has tirelessly given. Bob is a beacon of hope and instruction for many people that have run out of hope and...

After a 2 year hiatus I have returned to terrorize this forum and stress out the moderators. I hope everything is going well for you guys. I have to admit there are a few of you I have missed.

This will probably get me banned, but I still believe in free speech and I'm gonna say it! This whole Covid19 thing is a bunch of hogwash! No, I don't have any conspiracy theories to talk about, no I don't have any clue what is really happening. I do know that based on what we are told by...

You know what they say, when everybody else is wrong it's probably you that is wrong.  So I will start this rant by saying I'm wrong and behind the times, refusing to change...    With all the security challenges and hacking going on, it seems like you really have to jump through hoops to get...

I don't even know where to start with this, trying to stay level headed... Upon my ex-wife's prompting I made an account with My Social Security and checked my earnings record. Holy sh!t!  It isn't even close to accurate!  On several years tens of thousands of income is not reported/recorded. ...

Ever since YouTube blocked YouTube downloader and similar programs/apps you must stream music directly from the internet when listening to something you don't already have downloaded.  I have thousands of downloaded songs but that is just a drop in the bucket and I can't add any music onto my...

For those people with somewhat robust solar systems: Has anyone tried running a little 250-watt ceramic heater?   That would be about 2.3 amps, so if you ran it at night for 8 hours, that would use less than 20-amp hours.  That should be enough to keep a van from getting too cold at night?

I owned my own computer repair shop for 10 years.  At that time desktops and laptops were what everybody used.  Tablets and smart phones were just coming out, but not popular yet. Do many people even use a desktop computer anymore?  I haven't for years... I have a Amazon Fire 7 tablet with a...

What is the 500 Club?  It is a category of nomads that lives on a $500 per month (or less, or close) budget. When I finally get out on the open road I will be living on about $1200 per month social security.  I will have an emergency fund of at least 5k and several empty credit cards with...

I'm sure everyone that boondocks is familiar with ramen.  Boil a  little water on the Coleman stove, throw it in a thermos for a few minutes. Not a big fan myself, but it is a cheap and quick non perishable item. My ex turned me on to the Shin Ramyun, what a game changer! $3.75 for a four...

Please ladies and gentlemen, let's refrain from smart ass or sarcastic remarks (a little humor is fine). I've never pooped in a bucket before, but I don't think it would be as difficult as rocket science. What happens if and when you have a serious episode of diarrhea?  Let's assume you were...

I'm formulating a plan for showering daily.  In theory is seems workable, but in actual reality is it?  Not having lived in a van yet, I'm sure there are many people here that are much more qualified to answer if this is feasible. Big Kahuna shower kit (smallest tank) and a pop up shower/potty...

I have lived in Sierra Vista AZ for a little over 7 years.   One of the reasons I choose to live here is because of the relatively mild climate year round. I was researching climates in various New Mexico cities, specifically the average high and low winter temps and comparing them to Sierra...

We know statistics show the lowest instances of violent crime happen on BLM land and national forests. We assume criminals prefer populated areas for more opportunities. Bob's videos have been absolutely instrumental for showing the possibilities and giving hope, encouragement and...

With all the boondocking and many people having solar, it seems the nomadic life style would be a good fit for preppers/survivalists?

My disfunctional family says I'm crazy, but the smart meter in the yard and the Wi-Fi in the house make me feel crappy. I feel better when I limit my exposure to both.  5G microwaves are totally beyond compare to anything we are currently exposed to.  I'm seriously concerned about health...

Newbie here planning to go on the road fulltime in the next couple of years.  I'm in the planning stages right now (probably over planning) and will be doing trips soon.  Trying to make it to the RTR but don't have a rig yet, I live in SE AZ. Why does the general boondocking route not seem to...
