Wyatt H Knott<a href="https://defcon.social/@corbden" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@corbden</a> I would bet that you have a plastic tote bin stashed somewhere that has a bunch of different kinds of sealant in it, I know I did 🤣 <a href="https://vermont.masto.host/tags/RVLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RVLife</a> <a href="https://vermont.masto.host/tags/boatlife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#boatlife</a>

Mx. Luna CorbdenIf you hear a leak, it is a leak. <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/RVLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RVLife</a>

Mx. Luna CorbdenIt's leak check day! It's snowing which means a perfect opportunity to figure out how all the water is getting in! (But it's snowing which means a perfect opportunity to remain snuggled in this comforter.)<a href="https://defcon.social/tags/RVLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RVLife</a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/OffGrid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OffGrid</a>

Mx. Luna CorbdenI also get the feeling that stinging insects will be more of a problem up here as it get swarmer.

Mx. Luna CorbdenTo my fellow autists out there who are frustrated at the meaninglessness of talking about the weather, remember that to your ancestors, knowledge of the weather probably saved their lives and made you possible.<a href="https://defcon.social/tags/ActuallyAutistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ActuallyAutistic</a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/RVLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RVLife</a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/OffGrid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OffGrid</a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/rewilding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rewilding</a>

Mx. Luna CorbdenCertainly part of this project is to live more "simply" (what a loaded word) and be closer to nature. Rewilding and all that. Unpack my colonialism to discover its downsides and the way it binds me to an unfulfilling life. Connect better to the way my ancestors lived. Part of that is dealing with the emotions that come. Nature is incredibly destructive... and incredibly close. Nature is far less abstracted, though I'm aware that by having electricity, internet, propane, it *still is* abstracted. I keep imagining building a structure around this little aluminum fort, or some kind of wall or windbreak, but these projects would all be so massive and expensive. And probably not much help. I thought the single-digit (F) cold would be the worst of it. Spring would come and all would be right. But now there is wind and rain.The subject of weather is no longer "meaningless small talk." I have to be aware of the weather every day. If not, it makes itself known to me.<a href="https://defcon.social/tags/RVLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RVLife</a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/OffGrid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OffGrid</a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/Rewilding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Rewilding</a>

Mx. Luna CorbdenOne of the biggest missing pieces from my life in this RV is book storage.My sister has graciously given me a spot of floor for what of my books I was able to bring with me (I left more than half of my collection to an unknown fate – maybe I will never see them again), but it's not easily accessible, and there's no room for *new books*, of which I have just ordered more. I have already read most of the books I brought, so this will be necessary for my goal of reading regularly again.I'm finding more ability to read out here without my mom's constant dramas. Less brain fog makes it so when I do read, it's not a huge push just to pick up the book knowing I'll fail to get through a page. I can feel excited about books again, after all those years carting my collection around hoping that someday this would happen. So it's an interesting dilemma. Can I construct a *little* bit more room in here for more books? Probably. But not to the extent I'd like. Moreover, if I ever have to move this thing, weight is a serious consideration. I think I can carry *almost* 1,000 pounds of stuff that is not the trailer itself. Books will use that up very quickly. (No, I am not looking to be talked into reading e-books or using the library.)<a href="https://defcon.social/tags/RVLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RVLife</a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/OffGrid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OffGrid</a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/Books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Books</a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/DarkSojourn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DarkSojourn</a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/Recovery2025" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Recovery2025</a>

Mx. Luna CorbdenI didn't get done what I wanted this weekend, by far, because of the disaster, but I was able to work on other things. It does kinda feel like I just pushed the vegetables around on my plate, which is kind of like what organizing in an RV is like. (To make a permanent location for one thing requires moving a half dozen other things around. I was prepared for this as a young child by a Sesame Street book where Ernie broke a vase and ends up moving everything in the house to a new container.) So it doesn't *look* like I did anything, but given that I unexpectedly temporarily lost about 5 cubic feet of storage (that is SO MUCH), I did alright.<a href="https://defcon.social/tags/RVLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RVLife</a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/OffGrid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OffGrid</a>

Mx. Luna CorbdenBut I clothed, so I get coffee.<a href="https://defcon.social/tags/RVLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RVLife</a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/OffGrid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OffGrid</a>

Mx. Luna CorbdenA majority of my clothes were under there, actually. I've got two copies of each of the clothes I wear daily through the winter hanging from hooks over my bed. So two PJs pants and tops, two sweaters, one pair of public pants and a couple of nice shirts, two pair of grimy work pants and long sleeve shirts that I rotate through and wash every month or so. I have a small collection of PJ shirts and misc above-ground in a box I can see, and my underwear and socks in a different box. The rest of my clothing was under that bench soaking in a fair amount of water for the past two months.If it hadn't been super cold those months with under-trailer temps ranging from 5-25F, they would've been beyond recovery. So I'm counting myself lucky.Decay is much closer when you live in an RV in a remote rain forest. I'm always aware that time is coming for me.<a href="https://defcon.social/tags/RVLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RVLife</a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/OffGrid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OffGrid</a>

Mx. Luna CorbdenOk that's done!

Mx. Luna CorbdenI've been watching Project Runway. That's how I know fashion words like "print."<a href="https://defcon.social/tags/RVLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RVLife</a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/OffGrid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OffGrid</a>

Mx. Luna CorbdenTo the shirt whose chaotic outer print mostly hides the inner stains that only I can see when I'm naked... I get it, man.<a href="https://defcon.social/tags/RVLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RVLife</a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/OffGrid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OffGrid</a>

Mx. Luna CorbdenSpoke to soon. One of my favorite new shirts DOES have mold stains 😞 Fortunately, it's a print that is hiding them fairly well on the outside. But I can see them plain on the inside. Argh! Very hard to maintain good humor today, especially after getting lectured here by a Lefter-Than-Thou telling me I can't be sad about not having access to my favorite liqueur that I buy no more frequently than once every five years.I think that last one is eating at me.Y'all'r gonna have to endure my stream of consciousness. It's giving me enough dopamine bursts to get through this first of two baskets of damage caused only by my choice to live more stainably in a leaking 20-year old RV.<a href="https://defcon.social/tags/RVLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RVLife</a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/OffGrid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OffGrid</a>

Mx. Luna CorbdenI'll have you know my official DEFCON IS CANCELED T-shirt was among their number.
