    Cold Brian's Conversion.

    Lol about the snow fort, Kyuubs.&nbsp;<br><br>Progress is slow, but I made myself a small table for the van. It is just big enough for my computer, which is only an 11" MacBook Air, and a cup of coffee or a paper plate along with it. I have a cot chair at the end of my cot and it is fairly comfy...

    Cold Brian's Conversion.

    Nothing major but put in vent shades and got the windows tinted. I already caught one nosy person peeking into the van, so since I haven't made my curtains yet, it is nice to have the tint.

    Biolite Stove & phone charger

    It doesn't use much wood either. I got into the habit of picking up a nice dry stick several feet long every time I walk the dog. I just break it up by hand into a bunch of roughly 6" or so sections and throw it into a 5 gallon bucket when I get back. This way I have plenty of dry fuel on hand...
