Just checking in with anyone who wishes to respond. Within the past month or two I've seen a slight uptick of concern within my little corner of influence amongst travelers and rough-living folks. I've got a birthday creeping up on me so maybe I'm getting old and things just feel worse, but I...

Hey everyone, while I haven't had time to make a video about the van build I've been working on for the past few months, I figured I could at least write about it here and share a few photos as I finish it over the next few months. I chose the 2010 Ford Transit connect on a bit of a whim; I...
