I'll jump in here, and agree there isn't such a thing, because there isn't a standardised human, so there have to be variables, hence you not getting what you want. I used to own three motorcycles shops and build one off custom bikes from the …

Just make sure before you buy that land there's no building restrictions, some areas it can be tough, you see steel barns and think they are considered similar, but sometimes they aren't. In the article i like the sloped roof, container cost is …

He was a sea faring man, his son ran away to the Navy when he was 14 and lied that he was 16 to get onboard and ended sailing his whole life and seeing the Seven Seas, the family was extremely poor...but when they got together you would never …

or is it just history that is easily forgotten? I have a file of family photos, of family members that died a long time before i was born, in some cases generations. My brother in law has the same, the stories and life back then were interesting, …

for a home only buy single us 9'6" tll containers, I bought one a few years bck, a few hundred more than a multi use...MASSIVE difference in quality.

i would self fund, nd to me the nice thing is i wouldn't need it to be built ASAP, i could do it over a few years. As the containter is weather tight, they could be positioned on a pad, and left until the next amount of funds is requied and …

Too true Ours is not to reason why, ours is just to do or die

For the Fallen Poem by Robert Laurence Binyon (1869-1943), published in The Times newspaper on 21 September 1914. With proud thanksgiving, a mother for her children, England mourns for her dead across the sea. Flesh of her flesh they were, spirit …

A little history lesson taken from the histroy channel, the words ring true as my family lived thru the horrors that were World War 1, it was horrific for Europe and as today is the 100 year anniversary of the final day... At the 11th hour on the …

This is a little off topice but it will make sense in answer to your question #1 when i worked in Louisiana at a CNC facility we received a new machine, one of the best multi axis CNC machines money can buy. Before they will deliver they send you …

Bacon...did someone say bacon???? https://photos.smugmug.com/Unlisted/n-dsjV2G/RTW-on-dirt-2018/2018-Peru-2/i-2tnmjSk/0/93383555/X2/2018%20Peru%20%232%20S597-X2.jpg

for me I would do it as a multi year project, land, concrete pad and buying and placing containers in fixed position over a two year or so. Then after that do a build out over the next year or two, not having a home or needing onein a hurry is a …

Try doing a trade at a pawn shop

this popped into my inbox and could be considered a great bargain, for less than $600 while it lasts - https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1381662-REG/sony_alpha_a6000_mirrorless_digital.html

the little bit of research i did showed the costs are 10-50% less depending on location and how much you can do yourself. I like the security aspect if you keep the doors the place can be closed uptight. The area i am offered land is in Louisiana …

I've been living on the road since 2011 and I know someday it will end, so looking forward, I have been thinking about a mix of half the year maybe still on my bike and the other in a secure tiny home or possibly building a container home. I have …

I can apprciate that when i had my bike shops I used to tow my 40 foot trailer with my truck and car driver really suck when they think they can get around you and you have the same braking distances...I added one simple thing to my truck to put …

how long did it take you to get into a rhythm of travel, what i find is a few days to a week about every week to break the monotoney is good, otherwise movement can seem like a job nd you start to hate it or become to familiar or the scenery loses …

do you find you miss the space of your home, or do you now consider the outside part of your 'new' home? I understand the moving prt of it as I've been living on the road, off a motorcycle since 2011 but wondering about feeling claustrophobic, but …

Today an interesting video popped up of a friend, a very well know RTW/ Adventurer/ Record Breaking motorcyclist, Nick Sanders. I can relate to what he's saying, when you live on the road and do it for a prolonged period of time possessions and …

Father Eusebio Francisco Kino, his ancient remains are in the town square of the town named after him, Magdalena de Kino, Sonora, MX https://photos.smugmug.com/photos/i-nCtnjjB/0/f674df0f/X2/i-nCtnjjB-X2.jpg

what i would do is do a search on google,- DSLR basics and look at the video tab, there are literally hundreds of people on you tube doing these things. The problem is that one i might suggest may not explain the best for YOU. So YOU need to find …
