Gullivers Travels

[Picaso]

Quote from TIKITRADER:

I do not see a shower. If it is outdoors must be tough in the winter.

The bathroom is the shower (à la Hong-Kong guesthouse). There's a drain in the floor.

Quote from 377OHMS:

There is a culture out here in the southwest that lives in RVs on government land (BLM land).

I personally have a literal castle on a mountaintop with every conceivable possession known to mankind. And I can't wait to get rid of it all... I long for a simple nomadic life where I can trade on a smaller scale and don't have acres upon acres of stuff.

I've got a certain fascination for these BLM dwellers. Many outfit their RV for incredible off-grid lifestyles with 4kW solar arrays and wind and the rest of it. They keep a P.O. box somewhere and bank online etc. Some tow a small vehicle for running around. I'm not talking about a 2 million dollar bus. Many are just modified travel trailers with enlarged fresh-water storage and electrical capacity.

The idea of being able to live and trade from very very remote wilderness location is appealing to me.

Take the idiots on wall street and dearborne avenue from the woods and then go fishing. Its a noble goal.

I'm working on it.

What government land? It belongs to the people! Exxon & Mobil can drill, we cannot even camp out?

All I care is campers clean up after themselves and don't cause a forest fire.

Quote from hofficita:

Great. Why enjoy the modern amenities and comforts afforded by hard work and discipline when you can live in a shed like a bum. Maybe this guy can "upgrade" to a nice cave someday, or perhaps revert all the way back to living in a tree like our ape ancestors.

Thankfully we won't have to worry about this retard passing on his hippie genes to the next generation. There is no way he's ever getting laid in that thing.

There is enough people in the world, there is no need to pass down any hippie genes!

I rather pass down hippie ideals than hippie genes.

Morpheus: ... It is the world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth.
Neo: What truth?
Morpheus: That you are a slave, Neo.

In the seventies, I built an 800 sq. ft. ocean front cottage on Hatteras Island. It had 1.5 baths, 2 bedrooms and a living room/ kitchen with an extra showed underneath. I rented it part time and the earnings sent both my kids to college. A surfer friend of mine built one about half the side of mine but it had a bedroom in the loft which you got to by a ladder.

My son just bought a trailer at Myrtle Beach for 20 k. Goes everywhere on a golfcart. Great way to retire. I think.

Curious, what trailer did he get?
