    Leaving soon on a vintage moped.

    I also recommend wearing a high visibility vest like road crews use. I ride a small dual sport and wearing the vest makes me feel a little bit safer out on the road.

    Leaving soon on a vintage moped.

    Sounds like fun! I'm not to sure about the load distribution and that crazy seat mod I think you might run into problems both ergonomic and legal. I would try to lighten the load and keep the center of gravity lower. Finding a way of keeping the bags off to the side maybe set up as a type of...

    Keeping Warm, Warming/Insulation for squats in the winter

    Keeping Warm Try keeping a catalytic hand warmer in your bag they work pretty good. The only problem is they sometimes leak or smell like lighter fluid. The Zippo Hand Warmer will probably be the easiest to acquire. http://www.zippo.com/products/handWarmer.aspx?bhcp=1

    warm ideas for sleeping in winter.

    Catalytic hand warmers work and are refillable. The only problem is they sometimes leak or smell like lighter fluid. Hakkin is one of the better brands but others probably work just as well. http://www.hakkin.co.jp/

    Cargo Trailer Camper

    I bought a 7x12 cargo trailer and hope to do a conversion. The main benefit I see is that it would blend into an urban surrounding better than an actual camper would making it easier to find places to park. Hopefully I can save enough money and collect enough supplies this winter to start in the...

    Pallettes = homes

    The only problem I see with one of these houses is you would need access large truck to pull it like F150 or maybe even F250. But with the amount of pallets that get thrown away you could make one pretty easily.
