Ding Dang Trevor Flowers<p>The forecast calls for a few days of rain and snow so I found a deal on a sweet cabin in the Catskills. A hot shower, a clothes washer, a full kitchen, mains power, and a fiber net connection is ding dang lux!<br>Once the van is complete it'll be easier to weather these relatively mild storms.<br>In related news, I'm considering a big purchase: one of those 8 person canvas tents used at semi-permanent camps. I'd leave it up Spring through Fall and store it when I snowbird.<br><a href="https://machines.social/tags/VanLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VanLife</span></a> <a href="https://machines.social/tags/ColdToast" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ColdToast</span></a></p>
Ding Dang Trevor Flowers<p>Just had the obligatory visit from state troopers called because some weirdo in a van (c'est moi!) started camping on private undeveloped land. <br>As soon as we cleared up that I'm the new owner they switched to asking whether they could pet the smol dogs and how many MPG I get with the van full loaded for boondocking.<br>Honestly, it was most low-key interaction I've had with police folks. I didn't know what to expect from rural troopers, having only dealt with the urban PDs. <a href="https://machines.social/tags/ColdToast" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ColdToast</span></a> <a href="https://machines.social/tags/VanLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VanLife</span></a></p>
Ding Dang Trevor Flowers<p>Since my plan changes every five minutes I'll just pin the most recent plan to my profile. 😹<br>The land and the van seem to be constants but ~all else is a leaf in the wind.<br><a href="https://machines.social/tags/coldToast" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>coldToast</span></a></p>
Ding Dang Trevor Flowers<p>Today's plan for a man (ish):<br>✅ buy raw land<br>✅ buy a van<br>✅ insulate van<br>✅ build a bed<br>✅ move to land<br>✅ turn on, tune in, drop out<br>- dig a canal<br>- panama<br><a href="https://machines.social/tags/coldToast" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>coldToast</span></a></p>
Ding Dang Trevor Flowers<p>Ok, I've started packing up tools and materials I won't need until I have some sort of shop space on the new land. The plan is to have that in place by early Summer but I expect 2025 to be chaotic for supply chains and prices so 🤷‍♂️. Maybe it'll all live in a storage unit or shipping container while I hunker down on raw land.<br><a href="https://machines.social/tags/coldToast" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>coldToast</span></a></p>
Ding Dang Trevor Flowers<p>It's a weird day when I'm happy to learn that water seeps through a specific patch of soil more quickly than a specific rate, but here I am.<br><a href="https://machines.social/tags/coldToast" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>coldToast</span></a></p>
Ding Dang Trevor Flowers<p>Help, I've fallen into the world of DIY heat recovery ventilation. This video is a simple example for an apartment window but I'm interested in a similar build for a camper van destined for snowy Taconic mountain Winters.<br><a href="https://youtu.be/TAEzCcayI0g" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">youtu.be/TAEzCcayI0g</span><span class="invisible"></span></a><br><a href="https://machines.social/tags/coldToast" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>coldToast</span></a> <a href="https://machines.social/tags/vanLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>vanLife</span></a></p>
Ding Dang Trevor Flowers<p>I'm in a hurry up and wait portion of my life and wanted a new topic to study and futz. There's an active hacker community around this cheap little radio handset and a well paved road for learning amateur radio techniques so here we go!<br>I have plans to live in a van while building a cabin so I like the idea of having interests that I can pursue when holed up during storms or other times when construction pauses.<br><a href="https://machines.social/tags/coldToast" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>coldToast</span></a></p>
Ding Dang Trevor Flowers<p>Around the lot I might soon inhabit there are four or so piles like this one. I think they're three or four years old. Let's just say that I've watched a lot of videos about DIY saw milling.<br><a href="https://machines.social/tags/coldToast" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>coldToast</span></a></p>
