Mosquituses are going wild this summer where I'm at to the point where they hired local pest control to do fogging runs with the truck. I was surprised when I walked into Walmart as well as found they bumped the price on those regular handheld Thermacell units down to 8 dollars. I went ahead an...

I had some freeze drieds tonight. Managed to get EBT finally a week ago so been eating better. Actually surprisingly pretty good and takes up very little space and last well in the summer heat which is nice. The nice zippered foil pouch keeps it warm so I had a little bit and ate the rest later...

Thumbs up for the Cyalume Snaplights. I have a bunch of those all over in various colors and love em. No electric and great for stashing. Just 1 lights up the whole inside of escaper, I'm using the red one right now stealth camping in front of the library. No noticeable light leak from the...

You can also just spit on the ground in the dirt. Toothpaste isn't all too harmful.

Good point everyone made about the water. I usually fill up with a little extra more than I think I'll need though I've always been able to refill in town whenever I needed to so I never thought about that. I'll make sure to get a supply specifically for stashed for emergencies now incase I ever...

ahaha! Thankfully no diarrhea.

Thankfully I rarely ever get any kind of cold or flu anymore thanks to strong immune system and the few times I do it's usually just a little upset stomach or runny nose and coughing. But then earlier this week I had some bad food, must've been the milk and got the food poisoning. I didn't vomit...

I have much newer tablets with a lot more powerful hardware but I always end up coming back to my old Apple devices from around the Steve Jobs era. Partly due to nostalgia back during the good years for me but also because of the unique style the later products lack. "Sleek yet functional". This...

Yeah there are plenty of spacious areas to park a bit out of the way if you want to Stealth Camp. I don't go to any of these events or crowded areas. I tend to stick to areas where I am alone most of the time the past couple years. I just wanna relax you know, need a break. I was going to do a...

HAM is pretty boring and sucky in the USA and not the topic of the original question.  Also the Uniden handhelds are pretty crummy these days. Get the Whistler WS1040. I been using one for the past year and it's been a blast and still has superb sensitivity unlike the HP handhelds I tried...

In addition to all the other things people said on here like using a adblocker also use a compression proxy similar to how you would over a satellite terminal. Get an Android, go into the settings and mark the wifi AP you're connected to as a hotspot even if it's not. Then install the Opera mini...

False. That only applies on GeoCaching.com there are lots of other sites that don't act like overbearing Nazis so long as it's done cleanly and using common sense ie. not punching holes on private property unless you had permission too.

Yeah you'll be more than fine with a cheap detector especially since it's big. I have a cheap bounty hunter from the 90s that I got for free from someone that got it at a yard sale for $20 before. It's actually not going to be as difficult as the desert ranger guy says. I use mine for digging up...

My local library gives 24 hour guest passes to those with out of area ID cards. Let's you log into the computer, use the printers and copiers. Anything else you can just walk in and read or use the wifi, no password. Getting a cheap laptop to use as a workstation, used Dell Latitudes are the...

Oh they draw a lot more than that. Average laptops will hit 140 to 150 at peak. I used an Asus A53u back in 2013 for a short while and watching the wattage meter on my inverter it hovered around 40 idling and doing light things like web browsing and watching video ocassionally going up to 50...

Sounds like it'll be pretty sweet mobile battlestation. I just lay in the van bed or use the library sometimes, they have empty tables with a power strip.

But where do you have the monitor sitting or mounted? Is it in your Van/RV or in a house?

Wow very nice rig there. I like to do a lot of photography and video myself. I've been wanting a second screen for mine as well for multitasking, how do you have it set up? Is it a one of those ones that clips on to the side of the lid or do you use an external monitor when in the house?

Anyone else out there use a high speced or "no-compromise" type laptop or do any computer? You know the Alienware, MSI, ASUS and such? I still have the Alienware M14x from when I started and just got a new MSI WE72 7RJ 17.3 in workstation laptop. Got a nice Nvidia Quadro in it. How do you set...

I can talk into there through the Cactus Intertie system. I always hear lots of RVers out there around Quartzfest time. You head up to Kingman much after?
