Any advice on on these. For tuning my aerial to the best direction for a signal. I've always just looked around the campsite to see where everyone else's aerial is trained, and wondered about a signal finder. I have a Sat Dish as well and already have two Sattelite Finder gizmos. Now I have not trie...

The scariest thing is having one of them coming toward you with their off side wheels on or over the white line and as they come almost abreast they drift even further over, or e...

How much is a cheap campsite and when does it become expensive for you? I'm a solo nomad and so when I find a campsite for just $15 a night I think it's cheap. Do you couples think that $30 a night is cheap? I've yet to be in a campsite that is full so I've never taken up space that could have been used by two. I'm h...
