I was JUST going to start this very thread, but found it first one here instead!
I just traded my old van in for a 77 camper..... I bought a wind turbine for it today, and am getting a few brand new deepcycloe batteries as well for
it.
I am converting the top bed above the drivers consil into a mini greenhouse, and have it fully loaded with my survival geer and food and water etc,
instead of storing it in the house and having to pack it in a panic later.....
I have also put in all of my saved seeds, some boats and oars and things etc.... I just want to live in here now! I am in here right now, and my 4 1/2
year old and I are staying out in here for fun....
My next big splurge, since I have my camper ready now, bug out bag incase of who nows what, is to get a boat and hook it up to the trailer hitch and
also fully load it with survival items......basically my camper, and my soon to be boat will be my little greenhouses in the winters and if we have to
just take off for any reason, we are all good.
I make sure the tank is allways full and only drive it for camping only etc, but where I live we are isolated, so I could drive all the way up into
the mountains and back here and would have a TON of gas left...
We aren't on an island, but we are as isolated because you can only get here by ferry, yet still drive up into the mountains and camp by a lake.
now if I could only figure out how to get away with a portable chicken coop too hook up to this contraption too, we would be totally set...
Oh, and I am also buying a de-humidifier to collect fresh water out of the air, and setting up a water cache system as well!
I looooove it!
I almost want to rent out downstairs half of the house we live in and just live out here.
