Getting ready to search for Seeds in Latin America: Freetheseeds’ Prep Log

I made a website already, www.freetheseeds.org, and I’m allowed to host a certain amount of video, but I get the feeling if a certain amount of traffic or bandwidth is exceeded, then all bets are off and they’ll want me to start paying for managed hosting solutions. I can’t imagine they’ll let me use much bandwidth for 20 bucks a month. I definitely need to check into it, though, because that would be the best solution by far, because I like having my own platform, and the control that entails.

I’d recommend checking out Hitch on Twitch. He used to live stream hitchhiking all over the world. Bet if you reach out he’d be happy to help point you in the right direction for certain stuff too.


Looks like https://www.norip.io/ is the most recent service he’s been using for the data.

I’m still alive and kicking. Things have been hectic, frustrating, and—at times—challenging. I had a couple minor surgeries and really needed a break from social media and the internet in general—too much toxicity. Sorry for the sudden absence. I’ll be replying to posts and PMs shortly.

I’ve been ploughing ahead, working on the vehicle. I got the high performance radiator in. The winch (Warn M8000) arrived. Unfortunately, this inflation/market insanity has made its way to the auto parts market. It’s going to take 2-3 months for my bumper to ship. That’s not too big of a deal; that can be done separately. I dropped off the car today at the 4x4 shop to get the build started. I’m going to be doing it in two phases: internal and external. This one, I’m focusing on the internal components like new carb, high output alternator, new fuel and water pumps, new starter, new ignition system, fix the brakes, etc, and maybe spring over axle suspension system (might save that one for when I do the bumper/snorkel/roof rack).

Things are still moving forward, but it’s at a Thomas the Train pace, not Tokyo bullet train. I look forward to being back.

Hey there buddy. Finally found the thread again,… I think there’s close to two hundred of them now here on OG. How’s things going with the vehicle at this point? Did you get a date on that bumper delivery?
