"[font='Amazon Ember', Arial, sans-serif]Welcome to Off-Grid Power: How To Make Solar Panels, a book all about how to harness the power of the sun to fuel the electrical needs of the devices in your home. This is a short guide on how to take solar cells, even broken solar cells, and connect them together to make a solar panel that provides you with a lot of power. Done correctly, this can be a very inexpensive project when you compare it to purchasing one of the several models you find on the market and that's mainly to do with the broken solar panels being an option.

All three volumes of the Gulag Archipelago by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn: https://archive.org/details/TheGulagArchipelago-Threevolumes At times a mind-numbing read because of shear idiocy (communism) and brutality. I read all three volumes, over a 2-3 month period, while I was in the military years ago. I found it difficult not to binge read.

RV Living: Master The Life On The Road (RV Living, RV, Recreational Vehicle, Motorhome, Camping, Travel Guide) Kindle Edition
by Mitch Sargood (Author)
https://www.amazon.com/RV-Living-Recreational-Vehicle-Motorhome-ebook/dp/B074G2YJJM
RV Living
Master The Life On The Road
RV living is growing in popularity as more people hit the road to travel in a different kind of way – by bringing their mobile homes with them everywhere that they go. Sure, you could buy a ticket and hop on a plane to your next destination, but what’s the fun in that? Touring on the road, making little stops along the way that are off the beaten track sometimes, and exploring places you ordinarily would have missed, that’s the real adventure that brings so much allure to life on the road living in an RV.
What makes RV traveling different from your average travel is that you get to literally drive your home with you everywhere that you go! Forget packing and repacking for every trip that you take, because all that you need to survive is already inside your trailer. Think of it as a smaller version of an apartment, except with wheels.
Inside this book, you will find a guide to help you get started on an adventure like no other as you prepare to leave everything you have known behind and hit the road with just the essentials and bare minimum to bring along with you inside your RV motorhome. You will find tips to help you choose the kind of RV that’s right for you, checklists and guides to help you be as prepared as you can be, explore the good and bad of living in an RV and how to make a living while you’re on the go so you can continue to enjoy your RV life for as long as you possibly can.
In this book you will learn about:
Your First Rv – Choosing One That’s Perfect For You
Rv Vs. Houses – Which Is The Better Choice?
The Ultimate Rv Checklist
Legal Considerations & Safety Guides
Pros & Cons Of Rv Living
Budgeting, Planning & Expenses
Food Prep & Storage Tips
Earning Money On The Road
And much, much more
RV life is a life like you have never experienced before. Are you ready to take on the adventure?

Water Collection and Purification: For Backpacking, Camping, and Preparedness Kindle Edition
by John Hill (Author)
https://www.amazon.com/Water-Collection-Purification-Backpacking-Preparedness-ebook/dp/B0180W70Q6
This book is written from the perspective of backpacking, camping, exploration and other back country travel activities in which one must rely on local water sources. The information is equally applicable to post-disaster and emergency survival situations and environments.
If you want to drink the water and not get sick from it, this is everything that you will
ever need to know. If you are ever caught in a disaster zone and have to drink questionable
water, this is everything that you will need to know to make it safe.
If you have traveled or spent time in the back country drinking the local water you may have become familiar with traveler's or Wilderness-acquired diarrhea. The severity can range from insignificant to vacation spoiling to serious. The common pathogens and methods of spread are discussed.
An essential part of water supply and management is accurately estimating one's water needs. The basic information on how to do this is presented. It is easy to underestimate water requirements.
The effects of dehydration and heat injuries are discussed along with treatment and re-hydration.
Methods of locating and collecting water in all environments are discussed.
The various water treatment and purification methods and technologies along with their capability and limitations are compared and discussed.
The author is an experienced hiker who has spent time in the boundary waters of southern
Ontario, the Missouri Ozarks, the trails in the Big Bend area of Texas, the deserts and mountains of New Mexico and the trails of the Pacific Northwest.

https://www.amazon.com/Rooftop-Tent-Camping-Lessons-Outdoors-ebook/dp/B073YC3Y17
Rooftop Tent Camping (FREE Bonus Included)
Top 30 Useful Lessons To Spend Your Time Well In The Outdoors
Though this modern world is full of technology like humanity has never seen before, there is something that is so mystifying about the call of the wild. The idea of being able to get up and go – to be able to disappear from the world – is something that draws so many people to the wilderness.
Some call it wanderlust, others call it sightseeing, still others just like to get off the grid and do their own thing for a while. Whatever you call it, you know you want to pack up and go, and you want to be able to keep going no matter what.
If this sounds like you, then you need to invest in a rooftop tent, and you need to hit the trail. What is a rooftop tent, you ask?
That’s where this book comes in. In it, you are going to learn all about rooftop tents, how to use them, and what you need to do to hit the trail in style. This book is going to change the way you view travel, and it is going to unlock the world before you.
You are going to learn how to be safe, how to cook, how to forage, and how to camp with nothing more than a small tent and your car. If you feel the wanderlust, you know you have to obey it, and this book is going to hand you the key.
Whether this is your first time in the woods or you are looking to shake up your game, you have come to the right place to give camping a spin like you have never seen before.
In this book you will:
Learn how to rooftop camp in town and in the country
Learn how to prepare for your trip
Learn what to forage if you were to run into an emergency situation while out on the road
And much, much more!

OFF THE GRID: Live in a Van, Truck, Trailer, or Motorhome
https://www.amazon.com/OFF-GRID-Truck-Trailer-Motorhome-ebook/dp/B00C2WEAGY
The information that follows is based upon my own experiences living on the road, dating back to just after World War II. If you can imagine yourself in any of the following categories, this book is for you!
Save on Your Rent Payment
In hard times, one of the best ways to cut expenses quickly and for as long as you need relief, is to stop paying rent. True, even an old truck or cargo trailer will cost something, but often these pay for themselves in less than a year. A bonus is that when you sell it, you may get the major part of your money back.
Low-Cost Vacations
The cost of lodging, even on a three-week vacation, can easily run up to $2,000 or more. However, if you’ve got a light-weight fiberglass or converted cargo trailer—set up for cooking—even a two or three month holiday may be affordable.
Permanent living
Tens of thousands of Americans and Canadians live full time in a motorhome. There are prices for all budgets, from just over $2,000 to well over $1,000,000!
High Adventure
Travel up the Alaska Highway—a trip you will never forget!
Personal Privacy
The quickest way to assure yourself of total privacy is to travel in a van, trailer, truck or motorhome. This is called Travel on the QT.

A Beginner's Guide to Living in an RV: Everything I Wish I Knew Before Full-Time RVing Across America Kindle Edition
by Alyssa Padgett
https://www.amazon.com/Beginners-Guide-Living-Everything-Full-Time-ebook/dp/B0778WS6X4
When my husband and I started full-time RVing, we knew nothing about RV living. We made it up as we traveled to all fifty states, constantly googling things like "how to RV" and "what is boondocking?" Meanwhile, we flooded the bathroom, took ice cold showers, and got stuck in the mud.
Now, we've been full-timing for over three years and we've learned the ins and outs of RVing America.
In this guide, I answer all of the most common questions we receive about RV living, from how to choose the right RV to how we get mail on the road, to how to find free camping.
This guide is for anyone exploring the RV lifestyle and looking for RVing books to help make the transition easier. Also, because I want to make sure this book is valuable for you, below you can see a few specific areas of RVing I cover.
A few topics I cover in the guide:
- How to find great internet on the road
- The costs of full-time RVing
- Whether or not to tow a car behind your RV
- What we do for health insurance while traveling
- The best RVing clubs and memberships
- Our favorite apps for RVers
A few topics I DON'T cover, since I have zero experience in these areas, are:
- Traveling with kids
- How to downsize to an RV from a house
- How to travel with pets
Transitioning to living on the road was the best decision my husband and I could have ever made. RVing has improved our marriage and our life together, and we've seen more of America than we could have ever imagined.
While this book isn't about our story or why you should travel, it will be a useful tool as you find yourself asking a million different questions about what it's like living in an RV.
Oh, and don't forget to use the #RVlife on Instagram once you start traveling. That's what all the cool kids do.

Wildering: Anyone's Guide to Enjoying the American Wilderness Kindle Edition
by Mick Tune (Author)
https://www.amazon.com/Wildering-Anyones-Enjoying-American-Wilderness-ebook/dp/B07253RCS1
Thousands of years ago, everyone lived in the wilderness. Today, most people live comfortably indoors. This is perfectly fine, of course, but many have completely lost touch with nature. Meanwhile, millions of acres of pristine wilderness are waiting to be enjoyed.
Wildering: Anyone’s Guide to Enjoying the American Wilderness can help reconnect people with the natural world—even those who have never set foot in the woods. Author Mick Tune has the answers to all the questions you’re afraid to ask, with information about equipment, packing, permitting, basic survival, and much more.
You don’t have to be in incredible shape or spend a fortune on equipment to enjoy the outdoors—all you need is a pair of legs and a spirit of adventure. Mick Tune wasn’t a Boy Scout, nor is he a professional mountain man—but he loves the wilderness, and he’s learned a lot over three decades of outdoor adventures. Tune is living proof that nature exists for everyone’s enjoyment; you just need the courage to take that first step.

Crappy jobs, worse housing, outlandish rent, and the prospect of a soul-sucking life in Corporate America all loomed on the horizon. Filled with doubt and uncertainty for the future, it was clear that a bold action was needed to escape this dreaded Rat Race and stave off the “quiet desperation” which engulfs so many people as they move into adulthood.
Inspired by fictional heroes such as Tyler Durden, and real life ones like Kerouac and Thoreau, West impulsively decided to move into a van in search of the freedom he so desperately wanted. Navigating the rough streets of south Boston, getting stranded in a blizzard in the Colorado Mountains, and dealing with the anxieties and uncertainties of such a crazy endeavor, Charlie eventually found his way to the heart of Silicon Valley in the San Francisco Bay. Here he befriended other “Homeless Hackers,” and lived for a year amidst the world’s most powerful tech companies- and the nation’s largest housing crisis.
What began as a quest to escape insane rent and dire living conditions became a journey of reflection and self-discovery, with insights into…
The Quarter Life Crisis, and the trials of young adults as they come of age
The struggles of working Americans trying to get ahead
The paradox of working your entire life to buy things you don’t need and will hardly ever use
The search for true meaning in a world dominated by consumerism and conformity
Van Dwelling Voyage is a must read for anyone interested in a life of freedom, adventure, and significance. If this sounds like you, then get ready to, as Hunter S. Thompson would say, “Buy the ticket, take the ride.”

https://www.amazon.com/Flash-Floods-Falls-Rescues-National-ebook/dp/B00H4FLW92
Zion National Park is home to majestic and wondrous canyons, cliffs, crags, mesas, rivers, and slot canyons. World travelers remain in awe as they drive, walk, hike, and climb into such a unique place that is filled with vibrant, sacred, and mystical energy.

These are the moments when accidents often occur. . .and these once beautiful, holy places become menacing and dangerous--sometimes leading to agonizing and horrific accidents--and even death!
Since the early 1900s there have been 73 accidental deaths that have taken place inside Zion's park boundaries. Hundreds of rescues of outdoor enthusiasts have ensued as well. This book covers all of those deaths, and many of the gripping rescues that have occurred during the past century. Bo Beck, a senior Zion Search and Rescue member for over 17 years, also shares his personal accounts. You will marvel at the riveting stories, and take away a better understanding of how to be smarter and better prepared for your next great adventure!
NOTE: This is the original, 1st edition published in 2013. The 2nd Edition was updated by the author with recent tragedies and released in 2016 and is available from Amazon under the shortened title: Deaths and Rescues in Zion National Park.
