Ara & Spirit, three years on the road...
We are mostly Base Camping near Big Bend, Texas, in the winter. Winters are rough and so we have a tent "Taj Mahal" and shipping container given to us. A huge monster!!! (Bowling alley maybe some day!). We are on solar and have a 325G water container which lasts us about 2-3 months, 80G of drinking/cooking water. We also have a small 23' RV we use here. Summer it is on a motorcyle and sidecar for Spirit, my four legged big brain buddy!!!
I was looking for a hand cranked washing machine as I stumbled on this site. We have no income besides photography which is near nothing these days, so being frugal is amuts and I have to say after three an enjoyment... we don't miss a thing, our Wealth is whitin.
Anyhow... thanks for having us.
Oh! Having been a Chef for 40+ years I also post on my Blog at times one pan recipes, some cooked outside as we have 3 fire pits and a Friend brings us Pecan Wood! The best for grilling and slow burning cooking with also a Dutch Oven...
Be well...

Welcome to the Village!
“When you get to the end of all the light you know
and it's time to step into the darkness of the unknown,
faith is knowing that one of two things will happen:
you will be given something solid to stand on,
or you will be taught how to fly.” - Edward Teller
“Our Earth is degenerate in these later days;
there are signs that the world is speedily
coming to an end;
bribery and corruption are common; children no
longer obey their parents;
every man wants to write a book and the
end of the world is evidently approaching.”
— From a translation of an inscription on
an Assyrian clay tablet, circa 2800 B.C.E.
God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
courage to change the things I can,
and the wisdom to know the difference.

Hi and welcome from Florida !!! Looking forwar to reading your posts. Sounds interesting.
Bank of America is THE godfather of Hell with Wells Fargo running neck and neck. When the world ends the only things that will be left are cockroaches, Walmart, Wells Fargo and Bank of America. Not necessarily in that order. The order remains to be seen.

Sounds like you will have quite the following here, as a number of us are interested in living more self-sufficient lives and/or living in more harmony with our surroundings.
