Season 2 · Episode 135

Wednesday, August 10, 2022 • Duration 32:31

A new law in Tennessee makes it a FELONY to do normal #vanlife things. What does it mean for us? We'll also visit the must-see House on the Rock, try out a battery powered chainsaw, and find a place to help us find windshields and the like.

Tennessee Law
- Here are some articles about the new Tennessee anti-homeless law that makes camping (in a vehicle too) a felony on public lands.

- AP: https://apnews.com/article/voting-rights-tennessee
Product Review: Worx Chainsaw
- My Worx has been great, but I'm really promoting the idea that having a chainsaw in your rig could be valuable.
- https://amzn.to/3JMQFXV
A Place to Visit: House on the Rock
- It's $30. Just go. Really.
- http://www.thehouseontherock.com

Season 2 · Episode 134

Wednesday, August 3, 2022 • Duration 31:37

Product Review: K&N Filters
- Are they what they advertise? Maybe. And Maybe not. Do they really know more than automotive engineers?
- https://amzn.to/3PQbVy9
A Place to Visit: Northlandz!
- The world's largest model train. And a bit of surrealism. OK, maybe a bit more than a little.
