Hello out, I've been considering this for a long time and I want to see if any of you have any experience with this or are doing this. Basically I Wana be nomadic, live in an rv, work online, travel the country and just not have many expenses. Anyone doing this? In an rv maybe or just a car? Anyone simply being nomadic? Tell me your stories and let's just talk
Pic related, my current rig I Wana save up for.

Yes.
Homeless general is the place for you.

Lots of people do this.
In the RV world it's called "full timing".
Most full timers I've met have a large class A RV. You can do it in any RV though.
Campgrounds are everywhere that you can stay for a night, or months.
A lot of people on /out/ will tell you to not stay at campgrounds, as they're too expensive. They run $15- to $100 a night. From what I find $35-40 is the average.
You will need to visit them at minimum to dump your holding tanks. If you do a fast water saving shower, and are stingy with water use, you can go a week between dumping in a typical RV, much longer if you have large golding tanks. If you're washing dishes, taking long showers, and going the bathroom a lot, you may only get 2 days till you full the tanks.
In a car seems romantic, but it's a really shitty way to live. It's hard to sleep in, and hard to do just about everything (cook, shover, bathroom, ect). You can do it, and people do work with it, but it's not ideal.

I attempt to keep myself busy with a lot of reading while /out/ for a few days. Playing cards, bird watching, trail hiking... but I'd like to get some more original ideas on how to keep oneself preoccupied while out. None of that 'heard it a thousand times' drivel you can pull off Google. If you do something truly unique while /out/ to keep yourself entertained, I'd like to hear what it is.

Do drugs.
Stick my dick in a soft mud hole and make the earth my bitch.

If the stem is solid, you're safe. Hollow stem means poisonous fungi.

Ive had my bonsai for about 3 weeks now and all its been doing is dropping leaves. It has dropped about 5 leaves. I have a ficus ginseng and it is kept in a south facing window for the majority of the day. There are also tiny leaf buds that look like they should be growing for more leaves but have remained stagnant. What should I do?

Weather is changing for most of the world. Summer to Fall and such. Light changes and slight drafts will do this.

Hey /out/,
I'm a blacksmith, woodworker, outdoorsman, and I do HVAC for a living. I bought a Morakniv the other day on a whim, and i'm using it for work (because it was like $10 and I don't care if I screw it up).
If you guys are interested, I'll let you guys know how it holds up to actually getting fuck beaten out of it. I figure it'll be ammunition to finally prove or disprove the "morakniv is god" thing.
Pic related, mora on day 2.

When you're snowed in, stuck in a city or just can't make it to the trail, does /out/ play vidya? What game do you consider to be the most /out/ and best simulates them comfy woodsy feels when you can't make it to the trail? My personal vote goes to Firewatch for just being a laid back hiking simulator.
However, right now I'm playing pic related and fuck it makes me wish there weren't torrential rains in my area right now.
>crafting hunting tools from scratch
>Lara can just live innawoods and explore trees if that's what you want to do
>special survival modes for Muh Realism if needed
Makes me want to actually go to northern Russia/Siberia, even though I know I'd die.

Animal Crossing: New Leaf, or the original one on Gamecube. No game is more comfy.

Growing up I used to love playing Cabela hunting games, but they're all trash now. Thinking of buying a PS2 to play the old good ones where it was also about survival. You had hunger, thirst, weight limit to what you could carry, etc. It was a fun game.
Now a days, the only video games I really play are mobile games while taking a shit. I haven't owned a console since the original Xbox, and hardly played PC games besides Counter Strike. I bought Arma 3, Day Z, and other games in the likes, but most of the servers are full of ignorant kids that what to role play autistic themes.
I'd spend my lazy free time mostly watching YouTube videos. I watch a lot of bushcraft YouTubers, fishing channels, etc.

How can I get a house (even to rent) with a cozy fireplace? I'm poor and I probably always will be because I'm disabled. I'm tired of living in my apartment. It's like an ant hive. I want to live in the country with a fireplace and a pond and gardens and stuff. How do I poorcozy?

Buy cheap land in a flyover state. Put a cheap house on it, if there's none already. Spend most of the money on installing a really nice fireplace. Just make sure the property has access to good drinking water.
>>
>>875058
I've considered this, but I'm probably too poor even for that. To build a house, even skimping insanely is still going to be thousands of dollars more than I've got.

Are you so disabled that you can't chop and haul wood, or stoke a fire?

So I've been having this issue where I wake up in my tent very unrested and with my neck and shoulders in a lot of pain.
I thought powering through it was a good idea, but It makes camping more a couple days a chore, instead of relaxing.
tl;dr why is sleeping so uncomfy and how do I fix?

Likely because you purchased your sleep setup from Walmart.
How to fix it: don't buy your shit at Walmart.
>>
>>873599
Dubs confirms. Buy something slightly better for twenty times the price at REI.
Or get it at their "Garage Sale". Wait in line for a ridiculous amount of time and get it at ONLY FIFTEEN TIMES the price!

Get used to sleeping on the floor at home. Your body will adapt.

Apparently you also forgot a knife. Otherwise you'd just cut some out of the myriad small trees that surround your camp.

Is there any drone hobbyists on /out/?
Right now I lug around a DJI phantom 4 on my long treks
I just ordered my DJI mavic pro which is like the phantom but around the size of a water bottle when folded and still shoots in 4k with an impressive gimbal and 7km range
my phantom 4 decided to home in on some dog shit the other day and it made me sad

eh, I just have cherson x10, its a blast inside the house but outside the wind messes with it too much. I would like to get a beast one to follow me skiing or whatever like that fuckwit Casey on youtube.. he's video quality is epic and yes I am jelly.
>>
>>873012
I actually have the same drones as Casey
the phantom 4 and mavic
They are incredibly easy to use and they practically fly themselves now
it is worth saving up for one if your not ten feet under debt wise.
Drones are making me lose weight haha
Had surgery and got really fat and now im innawoods everyday with these fuckers all day looking for the best shot possible
DJI is the way to go
Gopro Karma's are good to
Typhoon's are good as well

Yea I wish I could spare the bread on one. Didn't the retards pass some laws about drones now - you need to register? I guess so they can confiscate them when SHTF.
