Ree ranks for happy initiative reading the brainstorming thread haz!  Need to make a backup of that in case rpol dies out of nowhere.

High priority:  Before they get any more lost, finding the various things written on note paper and writing copying it all down here so won't have to re-do effort.  For example: The phone number for the Leterkenny Township weer who's in charge of permits was written on a slip of paper.

Reminder: Wed.  Go to bank to stinge cash.

For the prop: Need to build a basic bucket toilet for next trip.  Look into how to make a door for the trailer.  Need a rust proof lock.  Need to take pics / video for Jack Kline to look at and advise on what equip is needed.  Add a craigslist tab for free stuff.  Watch for a good deal on a pickup truck or van.  Solar video for adding solar to camper.  Make sure camper's toilet works.  Research if it's a bad idea to leave water in the water tank during winter months.  Where's the nearest source of water in Waynesboro?

Nother thing worth looking into:  How long will the plywood on the trailer last?  Will painting it help extend it's life?

For delegation purposes:  Goro and Beards willing to make phone calls.  Seema willing to do internet research.

Important fact: Under most conditions, breathing smoke from burning trash and human waste does not result in any significant risk to short- or long-term health.

This means we could set up a fireplace and burn the human waste. Don't necessarily NEED an oven. When I went on to read what medical concerns ARE there for being exposed to burning human waste, the main concerns were getting burned by the fire, or inhaling too much smoke. In other words, same concerns as any other fire.

Here's the source: http://www.burnpits360.org/upl...e%20%20%28313%29.pdf

Meanwhile, solar ovens seem to be super simple and not even electric in any way. At least, the cheap one I found: http://www.escapadedirect.com/solaroven.html

Could potentially build one.

For rust-proof locks: I thought I'd check and there are also Waterproof locks. Which, presumably, would be rust proof automatically, unless there's something other than water that causes rust. Would help me more to know what you need rust-proof locks for.

YAY progress!  Downloaded the following pdf:

\\COOLERMASTER\Users\Public\Downloads\Jones, How to Make and Use The BYU Solar Cooker-Cooler.pdf

Way more options here: http://solarcooking.org/plans/
Comparison of advantages: http://solarcooking.wikia.com/...ans#Selected_designs

More info on other options here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_cooker

Thinking of using a black metal bucket as the "oven" part of the solar toilet:

Zip Line Cable

Prioritize Fon!

Need to caulk the camper!

Days are smaller lately. I helped mom pick up the RV, then got ready to walk with dad as agreed ahead of time, but David was there when I got back from RV stuff. :) We hung out for an hour, then walked David home. That single hour extra was just enough to leave JUST enough light left to barely scrape by putting the new bulbs in the porch light. Now it's dark and I can't caulk the camper. OK, so try researching the part the auto mechanic needed? This stuff is backwards Egyptian to me. But I gave it a shot. I don't know if this is the right part or not:

http://compare.ebay.com/like/3...emTypes&var=sbar

So I'll need to call the mechanic tomorrow and ask. :\ Seeing as how we barely managed to pick it up before the place closed, I certainly can't call him today.

As a side note, that walk convinced me it has gotten COLD. I thought I'd be fine with a walk. And I was. But with the sudden "we need to do porch light" ambush, by the time that was done, my face was numb (I was wearing plenty of warmities everywhere else). That said, I may try to caulk the RV earlier (like morning or something). Maybe you and I could do that together on one of your days off since we'll be trying to adjust our schedule to sleep and wake earlier anyway.

Yay progress!  Reminder to caulk on Monday!  Tues - Wed will be putting in mailbox on property as weather allows.  Maybe spend the night in RV for fon.  And to placate Beards' "you must spend the night there to claim to live there."  Yadda yadda.

TRUCKS OVER 2600 GVW PROHIBITED.  DOES RV COUNT???

Research and purchase 3 month supply of food for 4 people (1 year for 1 person).  Check infowars.com for a link to food supplier and discount.

Answer:

Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) is the actual weight of the fully loaded vehicle or trailer, including all cargo, fluids, passengers, and optional equipment, as measured by a scale.

If you are in a motor home and not towing anything, the GVW is the total weight of the RV and everything in it. If your RV is composed of more than one unit (towing a trailer or a vehicle), then the GVW is only part of the total.

For more, go to the website I got this from:
http://changingears.com/rv-sec...les-understand.shtml

My thought: Common sense says normally, YES it counts and they just put "trucks" because whoever made the sign figures that's just about the only vehicle that's going to weigh that much. Weight distribution being a consideration, a stretch limo weighs over 6000, but doesn't put the same kind of stress on the road as a truck of the same weight. But an RV puts similar stress on the road as a truck.

However, 2600 is incredibly light in the vehicle world. I would say any sign that says that is basically saying "No trucks" since I doubt there even exists a truck with less than 2 tons of GVW, based on the definition above.

Random fact:
The Presidential Limousine has an approximate weight of 14,000 to 16,000 pounds. All the armor and bullet proof glass are heavy!



At 1 year supply for 1 person:

$1349.99 at this place:

This place appears to be the same as maxlifefoods, but under a different website address. Even has the exact same price:
