Deep Thoughts With JD

[JD GUMBEE]

If you live in a van, para-trans short bus or step van...and you are a modern day 'Tinker'...a social drop-out to be feared.

Build a half-ass wooden shanty on a terribly overloaded car trailer...and you are an environmentally responsible forward thinker, intent on saving the world...someone to be respected.

I wonder if a bumper sticker could be a pride stamp to combat this foolishness?

"Another Friend Of Bob W's"  

"Inflation Protection Machine"

"Taking a Van Stand, Man!"

"Have Home, Do Travel"

"$tealth"

"Dwell...it isn't just for old GM distributors"

"I'm Saving Resources For The Both Of Us"

"You Wish You Had The Courage"

Anyone else think about this stuff?

 

[Motrukdriver]

I don't. I have no desire to draw attention to myself. Bumper stickers can create questions and or confrontations.

 

[bullfrog]

Tiny homes have in most cases are the normal smaller size bathrooms and utilites and the owners live the same way they do in their sticks and bricks just more crowded. Sticks and bricks people assume incorrectly anyone that lives a nomad life style has to compromise when it comes to what they consider normal.

 

[NoMadYesHappy]

Anyone else think about this stuff?

I think about it all the time.
I think more people will be thinking about it soon.
I think when that happens, the thinking will change, because now, it's them too.


I can't predict the future, but if the "social curve" that brought some of us to this lifestyle continues, something is going to have to change.

"You Wish You Had The Courage"

I like this one!

 

[highdesertranger]

yeah I don't want to draw attention either. remember it is illegal to live on Forest Service and BLM land. as far as Mr. Ranger knows I am camping. highdesertranger

 

[waldenbound]

I got one. “I refuse to be an outcast.”
I have a purpose for my life and I’m going to live it.

It may be illegal to “live” in the National Forests and BLM, but if I’m camping, well, I’m just camping and millions of Americans do that.

Bumper stickers can make flying under the radar more difficult. Aside from this, I've seen some entertaining ones and some from places visited. I've seen others that can create divisiveness, perhaps someone succumbing to a desire to make a statement. Driving along can provide time to day dream and seeing a bumper sticker can provide food for thought as it awakens all the voices within, until they get too loud and I have to turn on the radio.

 

[user 423]

I'd keep it simple and non-political like:

 

[JD GUMBEE]

Hmmm...

 

[user 423]

Roll Tide Roll?

 

[JD GUMBEE]

EXACTLY!

Red Tree Realism

 

[No-Madder Nomadder]

Yes.

"Have Home, Do Travel"

"You Wish You Had The Courage"

I think about good human-potential & nigh endless possibilities all the time.
(like started that ALS-thread; plus untold more I've shared in umpteen forums only to be there condemned.)
I think eventually people (instead of play robot), will think.
Why not now?
For the past 100+ years in the USA brainwashing has been too deep, so entrenched in every aspect of most citizens
for too many it's nigh impossible to even sense.., recognize the good.

Fortunately, harmful social conditioning will pass away, & as each person Allows that to happen, the thinking will change, because now, they too will actually be able to concentrate, & focus on & think about, & actualize good...

 

[JD GUMBEE]

Only if we can quiet over-stimulated minds long enough to actually get to know ourselves (...warts and all.)

Tragically,
too many are hooked on/addicted to too many drugs, in far too many combinations (poly-pharmacy) causing their brain to be Over-stimulated. Yet another reason too many can not think. That was what you meant to communicate, yes JD GUMBEE ?

 

[tx2sturgis]

Another bumper sticker:


"Back-off, You're Tailgating My Home"

 

[rm.w/aview]

I've seen... Sorry For Driving So Close In Front Of You

If you live in a van, para-trans short bus or step van...and you are a modern day 'Tinker'...a social drop-out to be feared.

Build a half-ass wooden shanty on a terribly overloaded car trailer...and you are an environmentally responsible forward thinker, intent on saving the world...someone to be respected.

I'm far less interested in the bumper sticker ideas than I am in the classifications by vehicle type.

For instance, I live in a sticks & brick (technically sticks & stucco), but travel in my car. What would my classification be, I mean besides "Cheap Bastard!".

 

[JD GUMBEE]

...travel in my car. What would my classification be, I mean besides "Cheap Bastard!".

Maybe---a "Tenter?"






Still more socially acceptable than van, skoolie or step van people.
