The Broken Nomad

I needed a temporary solution to get some air circulating in the van while I’m working in it, and I had all the stuff I needed, so … 🤷‍♂️

This lil guy has been hanging around the same spot every night for the past month, and I finally remembered to record it. I grab the moths and pitch them up, and he usually nabs them within a minute or two.

I found myself channeling my inner @Getter Better DIY creativity to accomplish this today while installing the main subfloor, and it worked out great!

Let's chat! I'll be brewing some fresh coffee with the AeroPress while answering questions, geeking out over the new & improved solar setup for the new van, and whatever else comes up.

Finally getting some actual work done on the build. h/t to @VanlifePLUS for the idea.

First project in the new van! I need to have a solid phone mount, and the suction cup mounts always give me problems at some point, so the Ram Mounts X-Mount it is! If this works out well (which I have no reason to believe otherwise), I'll be adding a second mount for the iPad Mini for navigation.

I will be doing a livestream with Dale from The Survivalist Prepper, about my plans for living on the road in my new van. While my primary motivation isn’t for “bugging out”, we'll cover quite a few good ideas about what’s needed in a good Bug Out Vehicle. #VanLife #BuggingOut #BugOutVehicle #RVLiving #vanlife The Survivalist Prepper on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/SurvivalistprepperNet

This armadillo was falling down the 50-foot cliff as I was getting my phone out, and walked it off like it never happened!

2021 Venturist (V-Series) off-road camper for sale. The camper is located just north of San Antonio, TX. The ONLY reason I'm selling the camper is because I bought a new van and will no longer need it.

THANK YOU for subscribing! 100 is just a number, but it creates motivation. We'll cover a number of subjects, including future plans, and a SPECIAL UPDATE! Thanks to @VanlifePLUS for whipping up the thumbnail, and to @Getter Better for helping with the test run for this!

This is a quick tutorial on making coffee using the pour-over method, requested by a friend up in Canadia, eh? Hope this helps you up your coffee-making game just a tad!

Quick last-minute overnight trip out to Garner State Park. A number of new items got their first live test, and everything worked great. The star of the weekend was the ARB 2000 Awning for providing not only much-needed shade, but also helped keep the rain off me, along with some added tarps for additional wind/rain/sun relief. This is also the first video with the Canon VIXIA HF-R800 camcorder.

Just a clip from the SurvivalistPrepper video mentioning me being prepared for the Texas SnowPocolypse.
