Review of the Wilson Sleek Cell Amplifier and Directional Antenna
One question I get all the time is: “Can I reliably get the internet on the road as a traveler, and if so, how?” Based on my experience, and the experience of the many other vandwellers I know, the answer is “Yes, you absolutely can!” Running this website means I MUST...

In today's post I want to tell you about our new camp in the Prescott NF and invite you all to join us here if you are nearby. Like I've been telling you, the desert around our Ehrenberg camp had gotten much too hot for me to be able to stay there--I don't cope well...
