Kittyfeet, a little paranoia, or, better yet....a lot of common sense and caution are needed to determine safety in any part of life. Your concern for your GDTR is understandable. Most young people seem to think they are invincible...and of course, they are not. Your good teaching of safety will benefit her,(and will give you peace of mind)! We can't protect them from everything. Teach them, then turn them loose, is all we can do. Good luck.

LilNomad, welcome. Come back often, as we see how much interest there is for this type of endeavor. I hope, if more join in, there may be an opportunity for some in a local area to get together and camp out. Or, for those traveling, to connect with folks in an area they will be going to.

Keep it going, guys. Evelyn.

This idea sounds great CloradoLady. I wonder if I bore too much of my soul on the Airforums already. Much more and my signature will be streaminweird Single girls should have a dirty pair of size 12 work boots placed outside their trailer, to keep unwanted visitors away at night. I place a pair of size 4 stilettos outside of mine. You know I'm kidding about the stilettos...? Pets are great companions anywhere. Unconditional love, always happy to see you. A pet on your lap is a great way to lower blood pressure and stress. I Think boondocking does make people work together more, thus more bonding. Maybe start a boondocking rally?

Hi, Streaminwild,
I was wondering when you might join us on this thread. You do understand...this is not a dating site. It is an opportunity to interact with folks...male and female...young and old...who share common interests in Airstreaming, camping, traveling. If some want to meet and camp together...a chance to make new friends, they are free to PM each other and make plans.

So, do you have a dog? What are your areas of interests? Share.

Or how about changing your user name to 50fat&flatulent - or offering recipes for garlic and slug sandwiches?

There's always a way. And big yes on the bear spray and the wasp spray. Needed it ONE time. Priceless.

BTW, most of us lady campers don't need a pair of boots outside the door...we can deal with intruders with a more 'discouraging way'! Boots will not protect me...if I ever should be concerned...bear mace, a taste of my taser, OR...my "little friend"...will take care of business! And my dog will bite!

Paula, that name and recipes should discourage....everyone! I never thought of wasp spray. My methods should work well, too. That taser will put down a pretty big fellow! If that does not discourage an intruder...the little red lighted dot on their chest sure will!!
Boots? Not so much!

My granddaughter is going to love this site! I am going to encourage her to contact some of you. She has a "friend" or two as well. I have always told her to be sure and try to miss the black tank.

How did bear spray turn into charmin so fast? About me I had a dog , 140lb wolf hybred. Living in Los angeles, I never had anything ''borrowed'' when he was around. Yes, not a dating site, but you never know what life will dish out. Hobbies...hiking, kayaking, fishing, biking, and snow skiing. Urban hobbies ...concerts, plays, sports events, museums, dining and movies.

I think I have found the perfect answer. Saw this on a friends FB page:

Home Security (could be trailer)
1. Go to Goodwill and buy a pair of size 14-16 men's work boots
2.Place them on your front step, along with a copy of GUNS & AMMO magazine
3.Put four giant dog dishes next to the boots and magazines
4.Leave a note on your door that reads:

Bubba,
Me and Marcel, Donnie Ray and Jimmy Earl went for more ammo and beer. Be
back in an hour. Don't mess with the pit bulls. They got the mailman this morning and messed him up bad.
I don't think Killer took part, but it was hard to tell from all the blood. Anyway, I locked all four of 'em in the house (trailer). Better wait outside. Be right back.

Streaminwild,
The conversion from bear mace to charmin? We are a very diverse group capable of VERY DEEP INTELLECTUAL PROCESS! LOL!

You are correct...one never knows what life will dish out. I think (for what it's worth).... If one begins with friendship and respect for others, and focuses on participating in groups where all share common interests, (you seem to have a number of interests), one's chances then improve to develop further into relationships. That is human nature. But, it must be a two way situation...or is doomed to failure.

OMG...did I just give relationship advice? Hmmmmm.

Anyhooo! Get traveling and camping ......go west young man!

My Gramps showed me this thread. I am using his account until I decide whether or not to sign up myself. Some fun things on this thread. Looks like there are a lot like me, soloing in my AS. Finally got my FC 20 all rigged up. Took it out for a spin and it really honks. Think I will head out in about 3 or 4 weeks until mid summer. No specific destination but just going until I decide to stop. Appreciate all of the safety reminders and thoughts in here. I am not scared but always aware of surroundings, etc. It is a shame that people have to be concerned about the actions of some others, but, thats why they make great self defense items. Some in 8 shot magazines. OOPS, hope I did not screw up. Maybe I will run into you, not literally, out there in the big, wide open country called America. Named my TV Vinny and my FC Boomer. NOT as in Boomer Sooners. This girl is Texan throughout. By the way that new F-150 is a horse.
