Weekly letter from HaroldA weekly letter for van-dwellers on fixed incomes: keeping cold nights warm without propane, and keeping a torn tarp from soaking your bed.
Ways to hold heat with the blankets and gear already in your van.
Why the grommet tears first, and how to tie a corner that holds.
Parking rules shift street by street, so we map questions, never promises.
No smoke: the full guide, the exact steps, the fix — every week.
Read the full issue →Frost on the inside of the glass, an idling engine you can't afford, and the blanket order that holds heat till dawn — with the ventilation warning first.
You're not paying for 'content' (that's everywhere and half-wrong). You're paying for the tested way, the exact steps, every week — and for a real answer when you get stuck.

“Last winter I sat up shivering rather than burn fuel at idle. The cold nights still come, but now the warmth stays inside the van, and I haven't bought propane since.”

“I had given up on tarps after the grommet tore in wet snow. The corner tie held through the last storm, so I slept dry and warm instead of standing outside in my socks.”

No. The methods use what is already in your van, your car or your house. No shopping list, no contractor, no generator, no new heater to pay off.
Every warmth method arrives with its ventilation and carbon monoxide warning first. If a fix cannot be run with fresh air moving, it does not go in the letter.
Bits of it, scattered and half-wrong. Here it's tested, start to finish, with the exact steps — and a fresh one every week.
No. Plain steps, big print, one a week. Nothing fancy, the way it's always been done.
