    I know they look wonderful however everyone wears flip flops out here now. If you wear boots you will eventually get mugged. Maybe you can wear them to sleep without others being able to sniff them out.

    Men wearing flip-flops or sandals without socks is disgusting. That's ok at home, but not in public. Women ok in public, but men gross.

    . Amen Chinatown! Another thing that’s disgusting is guys wearing flip flops with knee high black socks! Another thing to haul in the sleeper box is a 2 lb sledgehammer. Never know when your brakes will freeze fast, or your sliders won’t release. And a vise grip. They work for anything and everything.

    Every time I see that site all I can think is scam. Has anyone actually used it and is it a good site?

    I used simple green for bugs in the summer. Air fresheners. I would suggest lots of easy snacks to get you by when you have to go a while between meals. Nuts, fruit, peanut butter, jerky all worked pretty well for me.

    Clipboard. Stapler. I had one of these and took the binder out...it's a good protector for your BOLs and any other paperwork:
