    Anyone want to do the Dempster Highway, Yukon/NWT July 2019?

    I am so jealous I can hardly stand it! Wish I was going!

    Well, I tried for two days up at A1 mountain Rd....

    It looks like the OP Hasn’t been on the forum since 8/22/18. Does that mean he hasn’t seen all of these awesome ideas? Bummer!

    medications, toiletries, makeup

    How about using one of those little coolers – one made for a six pack. I actually have one that looks almost like a make up container. I would think that cosmetics and meds would stay enough cooler in a mini ice chest so you wouldn’t even need to put ice in it.

    Safe Parrking program in N CA?

    Regarding the safe parking manual: I think the $150 manual is for people who want to start up a safe parking program, not for the individual Parker’s. So it’s actually a business plan. I just get that information from reading the table of contents

    Thank you thank you thank you! First of all, thank you for fixing my post! Sorry I'm so dumb… And thank you for the information on Sameer and Mr. Pico! I met them nearly 2 years ago in Ehrenberg, and I loved the information I got from Sameer on the forum. Thanks again!

    Sameer & Mr. Pico? [split]

    I'm sorry - I don't know how to start a new thread, so I'm just going to toss this out here: what ever happened to Sameer and Mr. Pico? Does anybody know? I miss them.

    Standing up in a van

    A high top van. Yes, it would be awesome! I have a 1995 Dodge van that I love. I use it now for "trips" not "dwelling". Because of pretty severe arthritis in my hips, it's difficult to navigate in the low top van. The bending over part is pretty rough, and the kneeling part can also be painful...

    Checking in from MT

    I'm in the Bitterroot Valley - which right now is buried in smoke. Butte before that, Cooke City before that, and Billings before that! Love it here, but the winters sure are COLD!!!!

    Is a Jeep Patriot realistic?

    I love my 2009 Jeep Patriot, and I've camped in it quite a bit. The hole between the front and back seat is really hard to deal with! The headrest on the back seat makes a big bump when folded down, and the 'hole' is actually two holes on either side of the headrest.  Hard to describe, but hard...

    Bear safety?

    In response to the "food in car, sleep in the tent" comment above, I wouldn't like to be sleeping in the tent and have a bear hanging around my only means of escape.

    Update on black bottles for hot water

    Train Chaser, doesn't the SODIS method of purification utilize clear bottles? Is it the heat, or the solar Rays that actually purify the water in the SODIS method

    Almost endless hot water

    My van has a large, deep windshield area. So what I did with my solar shower on days that might not be that warm temp-wise was to put the water bag flat on the dash in the sunshine. We all know the greenhouse effect of sun coming through glass. How many gallon jugs could fit along your...

    Gripe about my first Walmart overnight parking

    Queen, and everyone else, I have a real, honest to God question about earplugs - which I have often considered using. Do you feel safe not being able to hear? Sometimes a noise will wake me up. Sometimes I'm glad it did - and I move my van! So, is there a safety issue here???

    Internet: satellite, ham radio

    Everybody probably knows this stuff already, but no harm in posting it anyway. I don't know how to do a link, but this was on diehardsurvivor.com 4) Internet via Ham Radio Although not really practical for large downloads or streaming large files, it is possible to build a repeater network...

    Why can't we just be nice to each other?

    WLJosh: listen to what the other posters have said! They are right. It might not even BE About you! Let it slide off your back. You'll feel better not stressing over it!

    High Top vs Low Top

    Yes, HDR, it IS that hard. Impossible is more like it. I'd LOVE to have a 24 inch high top, but I haven't been able to think of an Way to do it affordably.

    Womens rtr?

    ...I think we need to make sure that if WOMEN can have a special RTR, then it has to be OK for MEN to have their own RTR. Not that they necessisarily would, but that it would be OK if they did!
