I can't do this anymore....

There's a cost and price for everything you do, and don't do, one way or the other.
But don't worry, it can get worse!
LOL!!

I sleep outside in a hammock sometimes when the weather is good.

I wouldn't advise this if you live in a heavy populated area though...

I hope the economy collapses, can't find a job...

I'm at the point of trying to figure out how to get a small travel trailer and move to a different area of the country. I would need to get a little trailer and have enough money to pay for campsite rental until I can find a job (full or pt) to cover minimum expenses. It may take a couple-three years but it's definitely an avenue I'm looking into.

Yes, I have... More times...
Sometimes it just feels so painful
The heart so broken and lonely
Yet please hold on

Sometimes we get trapped
By our own perception of matters
That also include relations
Sometimes we find ourselves living our life how we think others want us to be
Getting more and more fed up, by not being ourselves

You know what
F.... that
Only you decide how you will be
As long as you go by the truth in your heart, you can't be wrong
Cut through the fears and the crap, how you think everyone wants you to be
An just be you

Lots of love to you my friend
You rock!!!

If I was younger and my body would cooperate, my ass would be in ND, especially since I already worked there once in the oil business 30 years ago. Or Texas, never worked there. Go after it and then you'll think back when you had free time in general and sigh. 12-14 hours a day 7 days a week will change your perspective, and pocketbook.

there are things of the spirit and things of the material
there are things seen and unseen
sounds to me like you've seen enough, soooo
look for those things of the spirit

This is true, but a person can get powerful hungry on such a journey.
My post above was more to Daisy since I don't know OP's situation.

I felt like that when my daughter died, still do sometimes but life has a strange way of showing it's beauty amongst all the sadness & hardship. Tomorrow will be a better day :)

I like to stand in unther hosen and t shirt on the brick street.

At night with swimboots and goggles and breath tube...

I would do that in the UK on a hot night - but Australia?

What if a snake or spider came.

Every day bra

Understood OP.

Just a suggestion. If you're single you may want to get a used camper van (something comepletely self-contained) to live in. Something like the Rialto gets 20 mpg. Biggest expense for folks is lodging and utilities. Put some solar panels on it and satellite of internet/TV and you're good to go. The smaller camper vans are nice because they can be parked anywhere. Also, folks like to stay at RV parks with utility plug-in and showers.

Here are some links at GLP.

Some of the used RV vans are not that expensive but here are some links of what's out there.

Yup, but you'll be so tired/drained from the long hours and have little time to enjoy yourself or make good use of all that money you're earning.

Most times if you respect them and leave them alone, they'll do the same for you.

Strength to you.

I've got a 2006 Coachmen Captiva that might be available in the future. It's a lightweight trailer, less than 6,000 lbs., and at 31' is rather roomy. The floor needs a little work though. Can be towed with most SUV 8 cylinder engines.

That's a fact.
If you leave your baby behind, that blows too

If its too expensive at the camper parks try talk with a farmer that has some land, if you can park it there somewhere for a small fee or beer or something

Can I have your stuff then ?

Sometimes the camper parks are looking for hired help too!

It can get much worse,I know!

oh shit!

Hugs to you, sweetheart.

Try these

I hope you won't throw in the towel, that would be a loss of a wonderful person.

You won't remember me, but I remember you from a garden thread. What a wealth of practical garden knowledge you have. Have you thought about teaching? Being an instructor at an inner city garden, or working with seniors, troubled teens. You have much to offer. When shtf, you and many others like you will be needed. More than you know. You will rebuild, you will lead. Please think about sharing your expertise with a hurting world.

Thank you.

Having a bug out travel trailer would be awesome.

One thing that always bothered me about the reality of THAT DAY when you need to bug ..
gasoline. I'd want to have lots of it.

AND.. the hoards of crazies driving out of the cities turning into miles long deadlock. That would last days and DAYS.. thats seriously bad.

I can only get about 300 miles before my fuel gauge starts looking hungry.
I don't want to be hauling gas in my trailer but I could stow maybe 25 gallons, I guess.

It just goes blank after that.

Sometimes its easier to hope to be vaporized with the quickness. Ya know?

Well that sure sums it up.

Be careful to not buy a travel trailer that is an
older one or that shows rust/wear. Many of the KOA
camp sites no longer allow older units--they need to
be in good working order and they prefer the big rigs.
Also, older campers are a real cop magnet in some
states. Another feature that will keep you out of
some parks is that the unit needs to have a working
potty. Just sayin....
Cheers!
