    News & Blogs YouTube rigged again with Partner Program changes

    I heard a lot recently about Amazon starting an alternative but didn't look into it. Timings definetly perfect for something else, I hear bad shit about them everywhere. Also YouTube only technically operates at a loss, as in the ads directly on videos don't cover costs, but the info they get...

    How long have you pushed your oil life?

    I go by how it looks and feels, I use semi synth. So when it starts going darker I'd change it, get a big between your finger and thumb, push hard if you feel grit its bad, if your fingers dont slide easy change it if your fingers slide easy and it looks nice and golden, still good. Can depend...

    Butane Stove Sux. PROPANE PROPANE.

    I think pound for pound they do the same dollar for dollar those camping cartridge things I'm sure suck, I bet someone figured out a way to refill them from a big cylinder, and anyway if you can refill a lighter why not a stove, but no one would let you and no one's going to carry one of those...

    Fuck corporate America

    I maybe don't understand (high possibility l but did you say you had 200k when you were 14? As much as I hate err "the system" I'm evidently happy to live off it like getting food and supplies. I wish we never got out the stone age but don't know what i can do about that. I just think...

    when did you realize you weren't normal?

    School. Before school I never knew it was a thing not to be normal and everyone around me was wacky anyway so my version of normal was completely unnormal. At school if you don't fit in you don't just feel it you're told it, excluded for it and made fun of for it. I don't think anyone's normal...

    Is the Osprey Aether 70 a good backpack?

    What Matt Derrick said is true if you're responsible it's not a problem and they're good packs its worth being careful as well you know it's full of your stuff which you probably baked so you'll be cautious anyway. I do still think it's more likely to get stolen especially when it still looks...

    Is the Osprey Aether 70 a good backpack?

    I think osprey bags are really good, I had one they're really comfortable and light but the bad thing about them is they're a good target for theft, mine got stolen a few months after I got it (I was swimming left it on a beach kept an eye on it but was stupid all the same) I think especially...

    Gear list- trying to downsize as much as I can, help?

    If you really need to downsize these are what I don't think are necessary not saying you should get rid of all these but you could do some. You could take like 20ft of rope and still have plenty. No tent stakes No cooking pot No stove + fuel wear the military jacket or leave it no towel unless...

    If I pull a knife should I use it?

    I think pulling it should be last resort, I never used one to threaten anyone because you're basically telling them get your knife out or leave and if they run great (unless they come back with more people or more prepared) but if they get their knife out.. I obviously think you should carry a...

    @James Meadowlark Nice bike! I will check that video out cheers. @mylon I've never seen those knipex ones in the picture. I used the cobra water pump type and those things are awesome I considered getting some but they mark up bolts and I didn't know they did 5" size. If I ever replace my bahco...

    You're right, I edited it to reflect better what I mean. I didn't mean against indigenous people who genuinely NEED and rely on it and live day to day in more of a harmony with nature, thats why i originalrly put subsistence in quotes. Nowadays many people claim they're subsistence hunting...

    Nice so go hunt bears at a time when they have Cubs nursing. It's not enough to kill them , you starve the Cubs to starve to death too. Im general I've got less a problem with capable hunters genuinely hunting for food than I do with people buying meat/meat industry which isn't to say no...

    I agree with you, @TheWindAndRain on most of this stuff but there's no point arguing over small mostly irrelevant facts IE. Bucks are or aren't role models. That's not the point and distracts from the original topic and the way more valid and important facts by making people doubt them...

    Whats in your tool kit? Favorite tools? What I carry for a motorbike.

    @Art101 Changing a starter with a multitool is pretty impressive! @James Meadowlark What year is your Bonneville? I eventually want to get a litium battery which are all round higher performance and take up less than half the space of your standard. Expensive though. Then I could store all my...

    I bought an RV

    I'm pretty sure (could be wrong) that an 83 Toyota didn't have diagnostics. Also since he hasn't mentioned check engine light unless I missed it. I thought the 110 was too pull the cylinder head which would be a great deal.. even if it was another 110 to put it back. If it's 110 to poke around...

    Yeah 110 is a great deal for that in my eyes, you'd never get close to that here. Hope it's an easy fix otherwise at least you can get a better picture what you need.

    Whats in your tool kit? Favorite tools? What I carry for a motorbike.

    I just finished up a work on my motorbike and I think I perfected the balance of tools I need for most stuff on it and weight / space limits. Got me thinking what do other people carry for like vans or whatever you're driving riding or cycling. For my Yamaha I keep all this stuff in the...

    I bought an RV

    If you're burning that much oil you'll see it and not just when you open the oil cap you aren't seeing smoke out the exhaust? If you don't have excessive smoke get it up to temperature and put cardboard under it as leave it idlr a while the little leak you see running at temperature could be...

    How is "you got to go" enforced?

    None I've ever seen are at all religious or cult like. i wouldn't say social program either in my words. There's still like undertones of rebellion, anarchy, etc it's just like imagine a bunch of 20 year olds started a squat 10 or 15 or 20 years ago then they got older and it just lasted for...

    I know they weren't about something else from your view but was saying how it appears if you don't explain first.

    How is "you got to go" enforced?

    Fair enough then.. but you can see how it gets confusing when as you get answers you bring a lot of things up you didn't mention in the first post.. It makes it seem like that's why you wanted to know, but you didn't ask it in a direct way so didn't get the answer you wanted even though the...

    How is "you got to go" enforced?

    In squats it happens sometimes usually it's all civil like for example Bob sorry but everyone voted you need to leave we'll be cool about it if you are. Most people aren't going to face off against 10,20,30 other people.... Some people.Make a scene but still leave.. Otherwise you get a mega...

    The "no-snitch mentality to the extreme", your thoughts?

    If you talk to the police about anything real it has high potential to go bad. I won't flat out ignore them or wind them up but I won't give them anything beyond hello here's my license or whatever. If you're a witness to something bad it's better to disappear because you go telling the police...

    For cleaning I like those stainless scouring balls tthey'r like a ball of stainless steel that's one long continuos thin ribbon of steel made curly like a pigs tail bundled into a ball. It's hard to describe. It cleans anything and doesn't absorb water so dries fast it doesn't get dirty for...

    It'd be a cold day in hell that I feel sorry for them, maybe some didnt "deserve" it but they stand beside, behind, prop up, cover up for and support - or at *very* least tolerate, those that do. The reasons behind it are sad and the consequences of it could suck. I'd definitely be a little...

    Inverters

    Yeah that's pretty much what I'd go with on a van, but they're expensive - usually 100w is around $100 for poly and $130 for mono and you can't angle so less efficiency. Charge controllers are easy at least! Just get the right amps, amps x volts = watts so generally for 100w you'll get a 10amp...

    Inverters

    Yes that'd be more than enough and I doubt you'll need a bigger alternator for LEDs, phone and a laptop. If you're driving it's easy to charge your phone and laptop as you drive and need very little power once you stop. And you should definitely be using 12v for that stuff. Check eBay for 12v...

    Inverters

    1000w (2000 peak) Inverter under $50, fridge $100. DC fridge (not cooler) $500~ plus battery for both. Domestic fridge power consumption is generally equal to dc the real problem is peak is huge so for a small fridge you may need 2000w peak so then you end up with low running efficiency...
  48. kecleon

    Inverters

    It depends what you want to use it for. A TON of stuff already runs off of DC and the power adapter is actually an AC to DC converter so if you were to plug in a laptop you'd be going DC to AC to DC which is losing you a ton of efficiency. And inverters aren't much efficient at the best of...
