<r>As a lifetime fan of Venn diagrams, I enjoy when parts of my life overlap. Earlier this year my wife and I rented a booth in a local toy mall where we have been selling retro and vintage toys. A lot of the initial stock came from my own personal collection, but I only have […]<br/> <br/> Source: ...

<r>I found this plastic severed hand at a garage sale a few months ago. I think I paid a quarter for it and even before we were back in the car I had already got my money’s worth. I tapped Susan on the shoulder with it multiple times, walked around with with it hanging out of my sleeve and tried sha...

<r>When I started my “vanlife journey,” I did what a lot of dreamers do. I watched a ton of YouTube videos and purchased all the things those people recommended. Back then it never crossed my mind that most of those people were making money off of my purchases. I didn’t understand that those people ...

<r>This video went off the rails. That’s really the only way to explain it. The idea for this video was to find a new parking spot using my C.U.B.I.S.T. system of stealth camping to show how good my system works. Shortly after parking, my van was surrounding by screaming college-age girls who were e...

<r>(Disclaimer: I purchased the AllPowers R2500 myself and paid retail price on Amazon. I did not receive any discount or payment from AllPowers for this review.) One of my first purchases for my van was a large 1,000Wh power station. I enjoy camping in my van but I also enjoy electricity. I need to...

<r>Upon entering our local Goodwill’s Outlet Center I was overcome by a wave of desperation. At first I assumed those feelings were emanating from other customers, digging feverishly through the mountains of stuff. The longer we were there I began to wonder if the vibes weren’t radiating from the st...

<r>When it comes to making videos, writing blog posts, and (gosh I hate this term) “creating content,” a few different things motivate me. Some of these things, especially my camping videos, are made for fun because I enjoy making them and I hope people enjoy watching them. Sometimes, however, I cre...

Hey, we’re back with a brand new episode about old toys! In this episode I talk about the new toy booth my wife and I […]

<r>I’ve now reviewed five or six of these smart stereo add-on screens. They’re all similar but have slight differences. For me, it’s easier to simply note the differences between this unit and the others, but to those who haven’t seen all the other reviews, that’s not particularly helpful. For anyon...

<r>My family were not big campers, and by that I mean, I don’t think we went camping, like, ever. My dad went on a fishing trip with his work buddies one time when I was in sixth grade. I’m pretty sure we ate hot dogs and must have slept in a tent, but that’s about […]<br/> <br/> Source: <URL url="h...

<r>After watching hundreds (thousands?) of vanlife-related videos on YouTube I can tell you they can all be sorted into roughly half a dozen categories. In some videos people work on projects or perform repairs, while in others people share video of interesting things they’ve seen or places they’ve ...

<r>How does that old saying go? You can have cheap, fast, or good, but not all three. In this video I demonstrate how I added a solar panel to my van to recharge my power generator. The way I power my van is fast and good, but it may not be the cheapest way to […]<br/> <br/> Source: <URL url="https:...

<r>One of the problems with having ADD is that I rarely do things in the order I should. Several years ago I built a large set of shelves in my home office to hold all my videogames. I really hate painting, so I decided to do all the other steps first. I designed the shelves, […]<br/> <br/> Source: ...

<r>A few weeks ago I came across a statistic that was mind boggling. According to a 2022 poll, approximately three million Americans live full time in their vehicles. As the US population is slightly more than 300 million, that means approximately 1% of Americans live in their vehicles full time. I’...

<r>It only takes a few coast-to-coast road trips to realize that most of the country is wide open spaces. As a kid I used to wonder why so many people (nearly 3/4 of a million now) live in Oklahoma City when you can drive just a few minutes in any direction and find yourself in […]<br/> <br/> Source...

<r>When it comes to writing novels, there are two types of writers: plotters and pantsers. Plotters are writers who sit down and before ever typing a single word into their computer, plot out their entire novel. Sure, some details may change along the way, but the theme, plot, and character arcs hav...

<r>Next week I’ll be attending the third annual BoatFest, which has nothing to do with boats at all. It’s a retrocomputing convention that takes place each year in Hurricane, West Virginia. Last year, my buddy Jeff and I made the 1,000 mile drive (each way) in a rented RV. While I owned the van at [...

<r>You can read about vanlife, you can watch vanlife content on YouTube, but I’m here to tell you… there’s no way to actually know what driving 2,000 miles in a van and sleeping inside it for multiple days in a row is going to be like until you do it. And last weekend, I did […]<br/> <br/> Source: <...

<r>Regular, talkie version “Vow of silence” version I grew up in the 80s and was really into computers. My dad purchased a TRS-80 Model III from Radio Shack when they were brand new (and Radio Shack was open). A few years later we swapped that computer for an Apple II, and before long I had […]<br/>...

<r>The older I get, the less time I spent packing for trips. When I was a younger man I would spend an hour alone going through my CD collection and picking “the best of the best” albums for a road trip. These days, most of what I need in regards to electronics stays in my […]<br/> <br/> Source: <UR...
