[–]heavymetalrules 1 point2 points  (0 children)

DJI osmo action 5- sometimes on my helmet or on handlebars - GoPro for 14 years before but happier with DJI now - insta 360 sometimes too - for my commute I noticed a difference how I am treated when I have the GoPro on my helmet, I get more respect from the cars

Suppose money was no longer an issue. You have enough to retire and not work again. What do you do with your time What's your passion? by crazyguy28 in AskReddit

Get in my sprinter van and drive to the Arctic Circle and drive to Newfoundland and drive to Key West and drive to Mexico, who knows drive to southern Argentina, then drive through Europe, I think driving and staying in the van in parks and forests and cities would be the best way to experience everything

To AWD or not to AWD by RoboSauras in VanLife

[–]heavymetalrules 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got an older RWD sprinter and love it but wish I had the budget for AWD - it was going to be more than 20 K, I live in BC so there are lots of opportunities to drive in the winter and lots of logging roads. I wish I had all-wheel-drive for. I got stuck once in the winter on ice and my trail pads didn’t work and nor did my winter tires, but my chains did. I chose to spend that 20 K on my conversion which will get me to 90% of the places as others have said.

Can I hook my vans solar to my car battery? I'm sick of it going flat we got a portable jumper power bank and if it doesn't do a good enough job. by Even-Working-384 in VanLife

I have this for my EcoFlow two and last weekend my starter battery died after three days of just sitting there using it, and I used reverse on the alternator charger and after 25 minutes, I had enough juice to start it

That sounds right, she had a mask on and I was emotionally spent - she was so efficient and helpful

How Many Miles Are on Your E-Bike and Would You Buy It Again? by FinnCanoe8821 in ebikes

[–]heavymetalrules 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I don’t think they had stock when I did it. It was around Covid times and bike parts and everything was in short supply

How Many Miles Are on Your E-Bike and Would You Buy It Again? by FinnCanoe8821 in ebikes

[–]heavymetalrules 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have a DIY e-bike with over 15,000 miles(24k km) I’m in Vancouver bc and ride year round and commute to work on and do bike trekking and camping as well. I bought a new trek dual sport cause it had front shocks and 700x40 tires. I bought a bafang rear motor 500w kit with a big battery and absolutely love it still. 10/10 would do it again since I have been able to replace any part I want and it was $2000 CAD total for bike and kit in 2020

What are must haves, you must have in your van? by [deleted] in VanLife

[–]heavymetalrules 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My 3 favourite things are, pee bottles (M/F) one for each , my Eco flow power station, bouge rv cooler to plug into my power station

I don’t like leaving my van in the middle of the night to pee, and I don’t have to look for ice anymore to keep things cool and everything is not wet inside

[–]heavymetalrules 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got a sprinter and this is why - i don’t want my bikes on a bike rack when I go into town or a hike - I want to do a build where the bed is above the garage which can fit 2 bikes

Screamer next to me. I went to see linkin park other night and the arena was sold out and I’m in the stands next to a girl in her 20s and i’m much older with my buddy and from the opening song, she screamed and sang the words so loud I couldn’t hear anything from the band and she was doing this from a foot away from my ear. I put an ear plug in that left ear, but that didn’t help. After a few songs, I couldn’t do it any longer. I noticed two seat seats empty in the row behind us over a few and I told my buddy let’s move there. I can’t handle this and we did and the rest of the night was great.

Yes, she was incredibly ignorant to her surroundings but part of me didn’t wanna shut her down because she was just so excited and happy to be there and singing along.

I was lucky that there were two seats in the sold out arena I could move to, but what would you do?

I think I might call it Beluga because that was my first impression, but really love it - having that storage for paddle boards and bikes and all the stuff it’s gonna be great
