A Better Alternative

As eager as I am to leave Texas to travel the states, I know there's a lot of preparation ahead me that could save us a ton of headache on the road. The first bit we've tackled is looking for a vehicle to take us away.This poses a small problem, because my girlfriend, Kayla, wants something BIG and LUXURIOUS to travel in STYLE with, while, you may know from my last post, that I'm all about the SELF-BUILT CAMPER VANS.

Buying a big, luxurious RV means a little more room and comfort on the road, I understand that, but it also means more working to save up for a pricey vehicle and more working to save for travel expenses, which I hate. Having to work more means having to stay in Texas longer in the summer heat, which I hate. Having an enormous RV means more gas guzzling and shorter travel, as well as bigger travel expenses, which I could do without. All in all, wouldn't you agree the camper is a better choice?

While I'm at it, I thought I'd mention that the gas guzzling thing is one of my pet peeves and I am more than willing to put in extra TIME and EFFORT into my project if it means having a better impact on the environment. One of the options I was looking at for a conversion vehicle was an old ambulance with a diesel engine. It had plenty of room for all the amenities and ran great, and also had potential in another way.



Biofuels are starting to gain speed in America, and by providing a clean and economical alternative to petroleum diesel, bio-diesel fuels can help improve our world for future generations. Hemp, arguably being the most versatile plant in the world, can be used to produce one of the purest forms of bio-diesel. It's just a matter of time before we start having to use alternate forms of energy, and hemp bio-diesel is one of the best choices, in terms of our economy.

Through a relatively simple process, you can turn any kind of vegetable oil into a bio-diesel fuel that can be used with any diesel engine. This fuel is a clean alternative to petroleum diesel, and is completely safe to use. If things go as I hope, I will be producing my own, environmentally friendly fuel as I travel the country, doing my part to push for new energy sources.

Here's a video on how to make bio-diesel:
