Built To Go! A #Vanlife Podcast30 Des 2020

055 Guns, Ausable Chasm, Refilling Propane Tanks, Winter Solar, Shop4Seats, Mythbusters

Should you have a gun in your van? We present the pros and cons, and reveal our bias. We'll also visit Ausable Chasm, talk about refilling disposable propane tanks, maximize solar power in winter, take a look at shop4seatscom and have a tale with the Mythbusters. === As self harm is mentioned in this episode, it's important to point out that help is always available. I used to be a listener with this group, and they're the real deal. Don't make a permanent mistake for a temporary problem. Click for anonymous, confidential help. ===
