Hello folks, it seems a lot of us just can't part with our adopted furry pack members so I was wondering. What do you feed them? For me this life is about living as I was intended to, as naturally as possible in nature. I myself want to eat less Burger King (Which will unfortunately be far too...
Although I agree with the sentiment of laughing it off and ignoring those who feel the need to put people down for no reason other than the joy of doing it. Laughing in their face simply to see their anger is hardly the way to go about the situation. The only real way to deal with such people is...
I've lived the 'normal' life in many different environments for most of my 21 years and have found certain aspects of it enjoyable. For instance I can't fit 30 animals into my car...if only...and I won't be able to visit my family from across the country. I've also been homeless and not by...
As part of our ongoing plans for self sufficiency we'll be learning how to hunt and fish. I expect to make more mistakes and failures than successes but all the hard work and learning will be worth it when I no longer need to go to the store to find my food.
As a kid I always snatched up unwanted trash on the side of the road. Never food, mostly because I'd pick the one food item that'd kill me but some of my best toys came out of the trash <img src="/images/boards/smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0" align="absmiddle">.There's nothing like going through...
Eh it's no big deal, the right one will come! The RTR is a yearly gathering of people who love this life style up in Quartzite Arizona. We're really looking forward to it <img src="/images/boards/smilies/smile.gif" border="0" align="absmiddle">. ...
Unfortunately the owner of that van never got back to me. Nor did the one we tried after. But we're still looking! Will be looking through a few more ads and dealerships when I finish typing this <img src="/images/boards/smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0" align="absmiddle">. Wish us luck!
Hey all, it's been quite awhile since I've been around. Fear has regrettably kept me away from this life style but I've decided to get out of my own way. We've been looking at a few vans recently and have already started the down sizing of stuff. I should say Linsey has started the downsizing of...
Thanks to everyone who responded, after much deliberation and deciding what we really wanted out of this we've actually decided to go with a nice pick up truck and probably a tent. Obviously there will be no space for a sink inside or perhaps a very tiny sinkish area. We decided we want to live...
Hey yall, back again to pick your brains of some much needed information. I'm looking to head out in about 6 months, at least that's my goal. 10 months max, I'm ready to hit the road! Anyhow, I'll be looking to buy a van in 3-4 months and start on conversions. As far as a floor plan goes I've...
Thanks all for the advice, I know the space will be tight but with some well thought out organization and a little patience anything is possible. Vantramp I was wondering if you'd be interested in sharing some design plans with me <img src="/images/boards/smilies/smile.gif" border="0"...
Thanks Dust, honeslty I've never really had a passion, kids in school want to be a doctor or a lawyer. I just want to live <img src="https://vanlivingforum.com/images/boards/smilies/biggrin.gif" align="absmiddle" border="0">. I've never been a fan of school. Although I'm not lazy like my...
Hello all, I like the idea of converting a van, the experience sounds fun and it also seems like I'll get the most room but also be able to blend in wherever I happen to be. I was just wondering what type of van I should be looking for? I have a human traveling companion and a cat tagging along...
Hey yall, name's Kelly. I'm about 6 months away from turning 20. The big 20, while most kids my age are off to college I'm sitting here dreading the idea of apartment living and balancing school work and a crappy job. Conventional life just isn't for me, nor for my significant other. So here we...
