    Van or tent?

    Lately, a lot of contraptions for car-camping come from gagety websites out of Japan. They basically do what I used to do before they invented the sleeky-smooth conversions. And, because of bugs and security issues, I used to put all my stuff into my tent, and sleep in the folded down back seat...

    Women Only Being a nomad woman without a man to help

    At 58, I finally learned to shed that out-dated notion that a woman "needs to grow up and find a good man to marry". I finally got shed of a man who was handy for the last 17 years, but I found out that while I thought I was in a commited relationship, he was otherwise not. Upon reviewing my...

    Hi there. I like music! I have Amazon Prime, and an iPhone, but I more often find myself streaming music over YouTube. they have a music app which cuts down on the 'bandwidth" or whatever. I pay $15 month t get the ad free option, and it allows me to download stuff too. You can also download...

    Um, again.... Welcome to Current Events class; Nuclear missiles = M.utually A.ssured D.estruction - hence the hestitance by NATO to establish a "No Fly Zone". Putin said that a No Fly Zone would be taken as an act of war by him. Might as well say "him", because until the Russian people revolt...

    Me too! Desert Storm/Desert Shield '91. That was a short shirmish. I am fortunate enough to get 100% of my healthcare, and 1/2 of my rent paid by the VA. I on the otherhand choose to maintain situational awareness, and preparedness. Let me break it down for you: Russia provides about 2/3...

    Entertainment, specifically books

    The "Good Life lab" for a good read: Firstly, I don't keep any books anymore because they are bulky, and bound to rot. I keep few except for a few out of print, and rare/valuable books. I keep them securely sealed in a Tupperware tub with a silicone pack to avoid rotting. I also keep a few...

    So I may have overdone it with the canned goods, but ...

    Well, thank you! I thought maybe "I" had overdone it... I tend to maintain "situational awareness" due to my Military background. I realize that many people have not/do not. So, without being a "Drama Llama", I would like to offer this video by this guy. Beau is able to put complex things in...

    jumping in

    This looks like a spot for me to jump in. Been following since 2013. Life happened. I'll start with my most recent experience/adventure. I was homeless in New England in 2012, and then again in 2016. It is not bad to be homeless in New England in the summer. I just camped out on the beach. I...

    So I may have overdone it with the canned goods, but ...

    Because it's on the news: cyberactors are constantly attacking the grid now, and major security sites like the government. Won't affect self-contained dwellers much, but if the lights go out- gas pumps won't work. Amongst other types of pumps, like water. I'm a prepper. So, I stay up on...
