Max Schaff's bike from his 4Q Conditioning blog

I have been following the 4q conditioning blog for a long time.  Long before I ever typed a word on any blog of my own.  Great blog.  Here is a pic. from his blog of the bike, and I really enjoy his writing content, themes, and think everyone should follow his blog.  He has built many cool bikes for Born Free, but I still remember him as a great pro skater from the Bay Area of California.  He updates his blog, and I really enjoy his writing and other creative endeavors.

Tiny Camper Living, Campfires, and Essential Supplies

'
Firewood:   I cut all that slabwood, and asked the park ranger if I could burn the firewood, due to all the restrictions in MN.  I procured the slip that certified the firewood, got it checked by the ranger, and spent last night around a campfire, cleaning up over 40 agates I found on my evening walk.  I will  post pictures today! With a little adapting, staying in a small, organized space can be comforting, rather than confining.






I have been camping out in my 19 ft. pull behind, and the nights are starting to get a little chilly up in Minnesota.  I have electricity at my site, and I am finding the small electric ceramic heaters to be very helpful, along with some extra quilts and sleeping bags. It is a small space, but provides all the conveniences.

Here are some nice items to have throughout the day>
  • lighter for starting fires
  • Hand sanitizing liquid (for avoiding poison ivy and starting fires)
  • Cans of Beans
  • Beverages
  • Sunflower seeds
  • Jiffy Pop Popcorn 

Here's to RV small camper living!

Microcosm Publishing: Dwelling Portably Links and info.

http://microcosmpublishing.com/catalog/books/2822/

These are great little zines that have all kinds of useful information on how to enjoy a life of perpetual camping!

From the link above:

"For the past 30 years, Bert and Holly have been cranking this out on a manual typewriter in their yurt. You'll find diagrams and notes on how to make tools, portable showers, find seasonal jobs, stay warm at night while Winter camping; hitchhiking and freight train hopping guides; suggestions from people who live in their car, in tents, yurts, tipis, or nowhere at all. And perhaps my favorite thing about "Dwelling Portably" are the personal stories that surround the helpful information." -Print Fetish

Perpetual Camping newsletter example from Lloyd Kahn's book


It's all about perpetual camping...check it out.   This newsletter provides step by step instructions on how to create a cozy shelter using free or inexpensive materials.  Kahn has researched the topic for many years, and the designs he shares have been proven by people living the lifestyle.

 Most of the snowbirds are perpetual campers/RVer's, but Kahn's book shows some down home, real deal, perpetual camping.  All his books are amazing.
