Welcome!

I am setting here drinking my morning coffee laughing at myself. Although last night it was far from funny Iol. I started my long trip yesterday, and I was so proud about how well I planned and executed my Van build and packed my van. I was prepared and ready for anything karma could toss at...

I have not experienced a hurricane, but in my lifetime I have survived a earthquake ( California) tornado in (Missouri) and a big fire in (Texas). My family all have bags packed with extra clothing and stainless steel water bottles and extra shoes. These stay in a hall closet or in the vehicle...

I am not sure I understand. Do you have a truck camper? A truck and a pull camper? Or a truck with a camper shell on it? Also another question! Have you ever gone camping? Do you have camping gear? Because living in a vehicle of any kind is a form of camping. For instance a camp stove...

How funny! I am not sure I want to totally isolate myself. Just a break from being an adult doing things I don’t really want to do lol. Dealing with lawyers and others settling my sisters estate, then dealing with insurance for the accident then insurance for my 2 surgeries. So many people...

So much has changed with this forum since I was last here! Hello everyone! I thought I would stop here at the newcomers thread to say hello. Life got in the way since the last time I was here, my sister died, and I spent 13 months going to California and back to Texas as I settled her...

WOW, I never thought about the aftermath of parking on the salt flats. You guys have given me a topic to research. Have those of you who camped out on the flats noticed any rust spots under your rigs?

Welcome!! I have been to the salt flats yet, but it’s on my bucket list. I am no ful time yet, three times a year I plan a long trip, then in between I go on short trips in between. My bucket list has almost 20 places I would like to see.

I usually read, I always have a few books available. I also have picked up a new hobby. I found an old book at an estate sale on hand made quilts. So picked up material to cut into squares tor the beginning of this project. So far this hobby does not take up much room. But for now, on those...

Close to 20 years ago I went to a thrift store with a couple friends. It was a girls day. It was also close to Halloween and I found the ugliest broach and a matching ring. Truly the ugliest jewelry I had ever seen. But I thought what the heck. Might be good accessories for a costume. I...

Before I joined this community I was a lurker ?. I probably read every post, even all the technical stuff I truly did not understand. Why??? I wanted to soak up all the information out there on the nomad lifestyle….the good the bad and the dirty parts. I always enjoyed HIghdesertstrangers...

I have been away from forum for several weeks. ((Had surgery). And I come back to hear we lost Highdesertstranger. Before I joined this site I believe I read everything ever posted. What I think about was his knowledge on just about everything! And he had an outstanding sense of humor! I...

What are you got to tow it with? 5x8 cargo trailer is small. Are you thinking about a tear drop style camper??

You can do this. Just reading your post I hear the strength in what you have endured. You can do this. I agree with WanderingRose. One foot, one step at a time!

I felt the same about feeling trapped and bored. I was lucky that I had been saving for a travel adventure. I used some of those funds for a Dodge minivan. My thought process was it’s a daily drive when I am not traveling and an excellent little camper. I started in State Parks. It was a...

WOW I had no idea they had powdered almond milk. Thank you!

I am one of those who used to say I wanted to see America. The Grand Canyon, Mt Rushmore etc. I felt those beautiful places would somehow make me a well rounded traveler. Always saving never actually going anywhere. Then the shut down and the other restrictions were part of our life. I took...

I watch several YouTube channels of those that live in Canada. You have a beautiful country to explore! Bob has so many videos on the how to of living mobile. And this forum have so many that are generous with the planning and how to of being free!! Welcome!!
