It has a great shelf life, and is way more flexible for cooking than jerky....I always keep some in my 72 hour pack. Anyone want to share any recipes?

During the summer months, I travel in my van which has historic plates on it, but lately I've been thinking about traveling in my car during the winter. Mainly, because the gas mileage is great, it's front wheel drive, so it handles better than my rear wheel drive van in the snow, and being a...

I recently purchased a Roadpro 12 volt stove. It's the one that looks like a lunchbox. Does anyone else have one of these? If so, what are some good recipes?

I took these pictures a couple months ago, because I thought that they'd be helpful for someone who wants to do an auxillary battery/solar setup, but maybe doesn't have the skill or cash to build or buy a battery box.  Here is my battery  box (though i've changed my configuration to 12...

<p style="margin: 0px;">Once again, I'm a part-timer&nbsp;who does a lot of traveling, going to concerts, camping, and general adventuring, so I don't know how much this applies to those of you who are in the lifestyle full-time and more accustomed to it.</p><p style="margin: 0px;">&nbsp;</p><p...

I know that there is an initial draw that is much higher than the wattage rating. What would I need to run a 600 or 700 Watt microwave?

<p style="margin: 0px;">i just happened to run across this this weekend while at dollar tree. It's a great option that doesn't require refrigerating until opening, so you can buy in bulk and just put whatever you open in the cooler.</p><p style="margin: 0px;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin: 0px;"><a...

<p style="margin: 0px;">I'm still trying to figure out posting pics from my tablet and my cell phone on here, and as soon as I do, I'll post some, but I thought I'd throw this out there for anyone having trying to figure out how to build a bed.</p><p style="margin: 0px;">&nbsp;</p><p...

<p>Just an observation, but I think it might be worthwhile to have a category on the forum about tools. A lot of us are self-building or modifying our vans. Some of us have experience and some of us do not. For those that do not, I think it would be an interesting primer for figuring out not...

Has anyone out there done a conversion to run off LPG or CNG? My 78 E-150 has dual gas tanks, and I was thinking about taking one of them out and replacing it with either an LPG or CNG tank. Trying to figure out which, from other people's practical experience is the best option for practicality...

Saw this and thought that I'd pass it along... if anyone was looking for a cheap traditional japanese roll-up futon, here's a great alternative... This might also be a great option for someone camping/living in the back of a station wagon/SUV....<br><br><A...

<P>I don't know if this is the appropriate section of the forum to post this, but I stumbled onto an excellent deal yesterday while I was out Christmas shopping. I was at Wal-Mart looking for a flat screen TV for my Grandparents (they just got digital cable, and still have their old console box...

I'm thinking of getting a nice quality folding cot and putting a memoryfoam topper on it. My thinking is that it would allow me to quickly and easily stow the bed away if I need cargo area in the back. When in use, the cot can be secured with ratchet straps, and provide storage underneath...

Hey, I'm new here, but I came across these a couple months ago, and decided to get one for the build I'm gonna do. While this may not be exactly what most people think about concerning going green, but my idea is to store one of these folding bikes in my van, so that when traveling, I can park...
