Reminder to all buying passes. DON'T LOSE IT! You can't replace lost cards, only buy a new one.

Whether or not to use the LTVAs may depend on your priorities. I spent several weeks at Imperial Dam in Winterhaven last year. Easy access to Yuma was a big plus in terms of accessing lots of food shopping choices (check out Green Tree for grocery overstock deals), Home Depot and Walmart...

Be careful that the squatted property doesn't experience a sudden influx of rats. This time of year they start looking for indoor spaces to winter in. I remember once renting an apartment that suddenly became invested with small mice and we couldn't get out soon enough. A bunch of rats would be...

Not sure what you're basing this on but I used mine out of state for 7 months in 3 different states and wasn't contacted to give any "excuse". It's possible, I suppose, that some states are stricter than others regarding eligibility, but I don't see how they could cut you off since it is a...

EBT is a federal program so the answer is, Yes, you can use EBT in any state. My EBT is administered by Massachusetts and I've used the card in AZ, CA and NM.

Exactly same here! My first 7 months full-time had me constantly re-organizing my gear and supplies so that the stuff I never used wasn't always in the way of the few things I did need. Returned to "base" (a friend's house) in the spring and dumped all the extraneous stuff. When I head back out...

Whatever you end up trying, I hope you'll check in here now and then to keep us posted. I'd love to hear how you manage. Good luck!

A lot of times, I believe, the choice to carry or not is informed by one's experiences with guns. The few people I've known even a slightly that insist on being armed in outdoor non-hunting environments grew up in a gun culture. They grew up hunting and shooting and considered themselves adept...

Might be worth delaying the full build-out you have in mind so you can put more toward the truck and/or keep your reserve at a safe level. Just go bare bones to start and do the build over time as finances allow. The other advantage is that your build will be based more on experience and less on...

I thought of storing stuff, too. Then I added up the replacement cost of everything I guessed I could do without and realized two months' storage would more than cover this cost. Why spend $300 or $600 to store stuff worth $200? Just get rid of it (Sell it? Give to friends? Donate?) and buy as...

When I started my nomad life, I spent an initial seven months away from my "home base". I also took way too much food and other stuff. I also acquired new stuff. Came back to base in the spring and immediately ditched 2/3 of the stuff. The lesson I learned was to don't think in terms of what you...

I also use the Clam Traveler as a cook tent (for one person). I don't often eat in it but I could. I set up a 2' x 4' folding table for my Coleman stove and to store and prep. I have a folding chair, a bunch of water jugs (collapsables), a couple of storage bins, a full size propane tank and a...

I'm pretty sure this stuff will be what causes zombies.

Scary? You want scary?

I use https://freecampsites.net/ and have little trouble finding a suitable camp whether for one night or several.

The following is an excerpt from my blog describing my close encounter of the mouse kind. The full post can be found at https://jeepliving.xyz/posts/post002_2022-01-06.html Then came the siege of the mice. On October 30th I pulled into Quartzsite, Arizona. I had intended on staying put...
