Guest guest Posted October 28, 2010 Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 Hi, i was wondering if anyone here has lived in a tent as a kind of bubble from mould and mcs? I think i have to move again and im considering this option. Would live in the tent and use the house facilities by day to hopefully work from home, cook, shower etc. The house im going to is not mould effected but i would need to be extremely carefull about cross contamination, probably take only my ipad, phone and some basic supplements. The people in the house have welcomed me to stay there though i havnt mentioned camping there. They live in the bush so at least i could be outside again during the day and the main living areas are tiled, not bedrroms though which have new carpet. Im sad that ive cross contaminated my mums things and car and hope this doesnt mean that she couldnt visit me at the new house. I really dont want to have to leave her. This has all taken its toll on her so much, i hate to see that ive made her so sad, and that maybe i wont be able to see her unless i can decontaminate her car. She has bad lung issues, probably from mould, so i wouldnt want to use anything strong in her car. I was thinking that maybe by living in the tent she could at least visit me outside or inside the friends house and that i could shower each night before going to my bubble tent. I would like to hear from anyone whos done this and how extreme you were in precautions to avoid cross contaminations. At least in a tiled house if i do cross contaminate i might be able to deal with it by day by avoiding certain furniture in the house which would be much easier than avoiding all carpeted areas.

Guest guest Posted October 28, 2010 Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 the floor of tents get wet from the ground. I would get a dome style that you can pick up & move easily & do it at least daily. > > Hi, i was wondering if anyone here has lived in a tent as a kind of bubble from mould and mcs?

Guest guest Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 I have lived in tents for years, and suggest a Shelter System 14 foot dome tent. I have also lived in traditional tents, and know the ups and downs of most tent situations. Have become an expert on tarps, shade cloth , stakes, and clips. e-mail me off group and we can discuss or talk on the phone > > Hi, i was wondering if anyone here has lived in a tent as a kind of bubble from mould and mcs?

Guest guest Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 : Do you have land or do you camp in official sites? I am curious about how this works... Thanks for any guidance about a possible future home for me... sally ________________________________ From: carondeen <kdeanstudios@...> Sent: Fri, October 29, 2010 5:56:58 AM Subject: [] Re: Tent living  I have lived in tents for years, and suggest a Shelter System 14 foot dome tent.

Guest guest Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 Wasn't suggesting that I would have a " potential future home " on your land...wasn't sure if I was clear. Just wondering about the whole tent living process and whether those who healthfully live this way camp or just live on their own land. Good thoughts, sally ________________________________ From: carondeen <kdeanstudios@...> Sent: Fri, October 29, 2010 5:56:58 AM Subject: [] Re: Tent living  I have lived in tents for years, and suggest a Shelter System 14 foot dome tent.

Guest guest Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 Just want to second that request. It's actually my dream to own a piece of land and live in a yurt on a platform. I don't consider that a deprivation at all. Mongolians do it!

Guest guest Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 Has anyone camped on the property where the mold problem started, if you did? How did that work out for you ?? God Bless !! dragonflymcs Mayleen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 I now have land that belongs to my sister to live on, bt in the past I have lived outside my own house, using the bathroom and kitchen, but that house was not terribly bad. I lived i a field behind a friends house for a long time. I also have camped in official sites, or just in wilderness areas. There are a lot of people in NM who camp full time, moving when there 3 weeks are up to another camp site. Living on land in a tent can be problamatic if the zoning does not allow it, if neighbors are not close by you can usually get away with it. When I lived outside my house in NM, my neighbors were very nice, and understood that I had health problems. > > : > > Do you have land or do you camp in official sites? I am curious about how this > works... > > Thanks for any guidance about a possible future home for me... > > sally > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 I did it in my vehicle with the key in the ignition. If anyone showede up I left... before my safety was compromised. > > I now have land that belongs to my sister to live on, bt in the past I have lived outside my own house, using the bathroom and kitchen, but that house was not terribly bad.

Guest guest Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 I have 2 dogs, so I usually have no security problems, but I went once by myself because I was too sick to take care of them, and it was a rental car and the battery went, I hiked out to the road every day for 3 days waiting for someone. Alls well that end well, but was scary. NM is a right to carry state, so I am always armed. > > I now have land that belongs to my sister to live on, bt in the past I have lived outside my own house, using the bathroom and kitchen, but that house was not terribly bad.

Guest guest Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 I have done target practice in the past, so I would be ready for something one day and maybe that day has come or is coming, 22, 25, 38, 357, 9mm, 380 .    God Bless !! dragonflymcs Mayleen ________________________________ From: carondeen <kdeanstudios@...> Sent: Sat, October 30, 2010 9:44:09 PM Subject: [] Re: Tent living  I have 2 dogs, so I usually have no security problems, but I went once by myself because I was too sick to take care of them, and it was a rental car and the battery went, I hiked out to the road every day for 3 days waiting for someone.

Guest guest Posted October 31, 2010 Report Share Posted October 31, 2010 I could see learning to shoot and carrying in NM while camping fir safety. But I worry I'd accidentally shoot someone. Or get so depressed...I don't know. I've had many, deep lows over the course of the year and especially in the last months. TMI. Maybe pepper spray? Are stun guns legal?

Guest guest Posted October 31, 2010 Report Share Posted October 31, 2010 I would never consider pepper spray with chemical intolerance. That can back fire quickly. Guns have safety switches.  That is why you learn how to use one. I did this then because I was alone a lot so if I needed to I could protect myself.   God Bless !! dragonflymcs Mayleen ________________________________ From: Advocate_Now <advocate_now@...> " " < > Sent: Sun, October 31, 2010 12:30:37 PM Subject: Re: [] Re: Tent living  I could see learning to shoot and carrying in NM while camping fir safety.
