Good news for my truck, it got MOT again (“TÜV”) so I can move around a bit. Used the opportunity for a nice little tour. Including: buying some parts for my “living space” in a hardware store; overnighting under 380 kV; a visit to a hydraulics workshop (leaving 230 EUR for three new hoses for my truck’s winch, phew!); and a nice afternoon of cycling in the forest. See pictures!
Speaking of forests: I had an idea how to make staying with the truck in forests less of an issue. Because officially, in Germany you’re only allowed to overnight at one spot in your car for one night only, “to re-gain fitness for driving”. Everything else is tolerated to some extent, but can cause you problems. (Which is mostly limited to being told to drive away … .) But when I saw a lot of trash at the entrance of the protected forest where I stopped for cycling, it led to this idea: I’ll see what happens when I always collect some trash from forests I live in with the truck. When some forest ranger, police person etc. wants me to leave, I prove that I am beneficial to the place, and they might let me stay. Especially when I can show them from my blog that it’s a habit. So, expect quite some pictures of trash in the future! The first one is below, collected 2016-09-14 at this beautiful place (50.580852,8.731282). It’s essentially a way of commoning: pay nature for a nice place by taking its trash.
