[0:00]hey friends

[0:03]Amigos how do you say friends in French

[0:06]I took three years of that night school

[0:08]I don't remember love

[0:10]friends so it is a good

[0:13]day I'm on my way back to the campground

[0:16]super hot I woke

[0:18]up not so happy like this e

[0:22]sucks

[0:24]so I started looking online for local

[0:28]airbnbs

[0:31]like let's just get out of this heat for

[0:33]a week while I wait for my next campsite

[0:35]it's partially

[0:36]shaded continue on and then I started

[0:39]thinking that's crazy this is my home

[0:43]I'm not abandoning my home that's crazy

[0:46]I have to do whatever I have to do to

[0:48]make this place better for me so I put

[0:51]reflectors on the outside of the

[0:54]windshield it looks kind of silly but I

[0:56]think it's actually

[0:58]helping but I just went to a camper

[1:00]place I got some slide out stabilizers

[1:04]and I ordered a a windshield cover it'll

[1:07]go around the whole thing you know the

[1:08]side windows in the

[1:09]front um they said they'll have it in a

[1:11]couple days that would be

[1:14]awesome so hopefully that will deal with

[1:17]this heat it's 10° hotter than it

[1:19]normally is this time of year I guess

[1:20]we're having a heat wave all over the

[1:22]country but man it's just

[1:26]insufferable so man I was going to stop

[1:29]with this dumpster what the GU thinking

[1:30]M

[1:32]lot whatever I'll come

[1:35]back so I'm having a good

[1:38]day embracing this is my life I have to

[1:41]do whatever I have to do to make it

[1:43]better it's actually very comfortable in

[1:45]there I should you know be clear about

[1:47]that cuz you know I my cat's very

[1:49]important to me I wouldn't let him

[1:51]suffer you know um it's

[1:54]generally well it was getting hot in the

[1:56]afternoons it was getting into the 80s

[1:58]that was concerning

[2:00]and you know for at least a couple of

[2:03]hours but you know you got the cold air

[2:05]blowing on you and it's not fun but it's

[2:09]you know I think we're okay it's just I

[2:12]keep thinking well how am I going to

[2:13]deal with Nevada when I don't have an

[2:14]air conditioner you know so I just need

[2:17]to do everything I can I did notice that

[2:20]there's heat coming out from the one

[2:21]area I didn't insulate if you the ones

[2:24]of you who have been subscribed to me

[2:25]like since the beginning you'll you'll

[2:27]know what I what I insulated and what I

[2:29]didn't it's kind of afraid of this one

[2:31]area feel like I could feel the heat

[2:33]down there when I just just putting my

[2:35]hand down there so and it makes the

[2:38]bathroom hotter like any area of the

[2:41]camper that gets hotter is contributing

[2:43]to heat in there

[2:45]so uh I definitely need to deal with

[2:48]that and I'm going to I just don't know

[2:51]if you can buy small rolls of insulation

[2:54]like I don't need a big roll otherwise

[2:56]I'll just be wasting it throwing in the

[2:57]dumpster here

[3:00]so I got to look into that and

[3:02]then I want to paint the roof I really

[3:06]feel that's the biggest thing especially

[3:07]like if I'm in Nevada and you're just

[3:09]like there's Sun

[3:10]everywhere you definitely want to be

[3:13]able to reflect as much of that heat as

[3:16]you can and I'm going to get a little

[3:19]tote thing that you know makes it easier

[3:21]for me

[3:22]to um empty my tanks without taking the

[3:25]whole RV down somewhere these people are

[3:28]just walking in the middle of the road

[3:30]like I'm right here

[3:32]guys okay I guess we will go 3 miles an

[3:37]hour wow you're walking about average

[3:39]for a

[3:41]hiker I wonder know if they have in that

[3:43]Cod they have this little tiny Camp

[3:48]hello yeah I'll be friendly there's

[3:50]there like the there's nobody here I

[3:52]love Sundays everybody leaves you know

[3:55]it's just

[3:56]wonderful I mean it's not Sunday now

[3:59]obviously but SU is when they all leave

[4:02]it's so wonderful they all leave every

[4:05]Sunday it's like I just wait for Sunday

[4:08]you know Friday Saturday I'm just in my

[4:12]camper playing video

[4:15]games you know waiting for everybody to

[4:17]leave I love you guys you know I know a

[4:20]lot of you that follow me probably are

[4:22]the people I'm talking about you know

[4:25]all good like just you know I need my

[4:28]solitude that's just the kind of person

[4:30]I

[4:31]am and it's just difficult when you have

[4:35]people like all around you I just I

[4:37]don't know how people do it I I don't

[4:39]understand it lots of people seem to be

[4:41]fine with it like it's just not a thing

[4:42]for them but for me it's like it's just

[4:46]stressful so my next site I get to move

[4:48]to the

[4:50]app when is it on Sunday on Sunday and

[4:54]then I'll be there and it's partially

[4:55]shaded and then I get to move again on

[4:57]July 7th into the wooded area and I'll

[5:00]be there until August

[5:01]21st that is when I'm leaving for Nevada

[5:04]August

[5:05]21st so by then I should have all my

[5:08]dental stuff taken care of I should have

[5:10]my permanent top dentures that um hook

[5:13]into my implants and all that I'm not

[5:15]wearing them now because they're just

[5:17]really killing my mouth I'm going to

[5:19]have to keep wearing them though so that

[5:21]my dentist can see where the sores

[5:23]are um I see her as soon so I'm going to

[5:26]be you know I have to do

[5:28]that um um trying you know it's going to

[5:32]get better I'm definitely going to be

[5:33]wearing them all the time um once I can

[5:36]I'm at my site here I just got to back

[5:38]up here and not you know have my

[5:41]starlink very important don't have the

[5:43]starlink

[5:45]satellite here we

[5:49]go I feel bad for Bailey like you know

[5:53]all the windows have reflected we live

[5:55]in a

[5:57]dungeon we live in a dungeon right now

[6:00]I wish that weren't so but it

[6:04]is so I feel bad for him and it's too

[6:07]hot for him to be out so it's just you

[6:10]know got to figure something

[6:13]out I wish I I should probably try to

[6:16]get him a harness and try to train him

[6:18]on that so I can take him for walks I

[6:19]did try that when he was younger one of

[6:21]these days I'm going to show you guys

[6:23]videos of him when he was younger cuz he

[6:25]was so cool I was trying so I got these

[6:29]little

[6:31]um let me just grab

[6:34]them I hope they're good they're slide

[6:36]out

[6:37]stabilizers from this little mom and pop

[6:40]camper

[6:43]shop let see what we problem is but they

[6:46]all seem to be like this they have this

[6:48]um that's what they look like you know

[6:51]and mine is just this tiny tiny little

[6:56]thing right here so I don't know what to

[6:58]do

[7:00]but I really want to get this I want to

[7:02]put these stabilizers on I think it's

[7:04]going to

[7:05]help um hopefully make it so it's not

[7:07]rocking as much while I'm trying to

[7:10]sleep and maybe I'll sleep better I am

[7:11]not getting any

[7:13]sleep

[7:15]so hopefully I can get one up here cuz

[7:17]this is where the bed's at and then one

[7:19]down there hopefully it helps you know

[7:22]what let's try it now well we should

[7:25]check on melee first of course I just

[7:27]went in there put away the stuff I got

[7:29]Air

[7:31]Station hi Bailey hi

[7:34]buddy

[7:36]hi how are we doing in here he's got

[7:38]that one window for now I got to shut

[7:40]that and put the reflectors back

[7:42]on um you know once afternoon Sun starts

[7:45]coming in through there so it's 70.4

[7:48]over in this area the bed area always

[7:49]the

[7:51]best what do we have going on in here 70

[7:55]in the bathroom that is not bad wow um I

[7:59]was putting this up for a day I it was

[8:01]helping but then I decided to just put

[8:03]this vent on on turn it on that helped

[8:06]obviously I did that like some time ago

[8:08]that definitely helps guys do that if

[8:10]it's hot and

[8:13]then 73 in the office area I'm doing

[8:17]pretty good over here I'm finally

[8:18]getting set up for um you know working

[8:21]and stuff and gaming all of that uh I've

[8:25]been burning my my disc just you know

[8:27]onto my hard drives over there so that I

[8:30]don't you know I can just put them in

[8:31]storage and not have to carry so much

[8:33]bulk in here you can see how much I've

[8:35]already gotten rid of from over here cuz

[8:37]I want to put other things up there so

[8:40]yeah I'm happy about that so I had a few

[8:43]ideas about this I I forgot to show you

[8:46]guys the reflec but so I've still got

[8:47]that in

[8:48]here um I mean this is such a hack job

[8:52]right but I just whatever I could do at

[8:55]least in a couple days I'll have

[8:56]something real on the outside so it's 84

[8:59]in here right now I was trying to keep

[9:02]these open and have this fan blowing

[9:04]that way and then one of these fence

[9:06]blowing that way seeing if I could just

[9:07]kind of stabilize the whole environment

[9:10]I didn't feel like it was working but I

[9:11]didn't give it enough time

[9:14]either so I don't know might try that

[9:16]again so here's what I did on the

[9:18]outside I mean you know that's going to

[9:21]help it just is I mean I'm all good with

[9:23]this it's only for a couple days anyways

[9:27]but the whole thing will wrap around the

[9:28]outside all of these windows would just

[9:30]be completely blocked off from the

[9:33]stupid Sun you can see it like can you

[9:35]see the brightness I can barely keep my

[9:37]eyes open I'm like squinting right now

[9:39]there's a sun around here driving me

[9:41]nuts oh I do have this out should

[9:44]probably have brought it down a little

[9:46]bit but I'm

[9:49]lazy I'm sure that helps you

[9:52]know oh it is so hot out here guys

[9:56]melting but I'm guessing yall are

[9:58]melting too I mean if it's a heat wave

[10:00]all over the country we're all melting

[10:02]right

[10:03]now man I just thought that these things

[10:06]would retain air a little bit better

[10:08]than they do they don't retain any air

[10:10]because that air conditioner never turns

[10:11]off so what am I going to do in Nevada

[10:15]what am I going to do well I am

[10:17]traveling off season so it'll never be

[10:19]this bad not for me what I have to deal

[10:22]with the most is um the cold at night

[10:24]cuz it can get into the 30s and 40s a

[10:26]lot of the times where I'm going to be I

[10:28]don't care that is how I'm going to get

[10:30]my peace and Solitude guys tell me if

[10:32]I'm right about this can I skip this

[10:34]part keep them flat and then just put

[10:36]them underneath of it that's what I'm

[10:38]going to do um tell me if I can't though

[10:41]these things have no instructions I

[10:43]don't know how to do this just pulls up

[10:47]doesn't stay there what am I supposed to

[10:51]do these don't look like the Box

[10:54]are see look wait so this pulls out I

[10:59]I'm so confused got it I just used tat

[11:02]GPT to help me

[11:04]um tell me what you guys think you can

[11:06]crique this cuz you know I'm not an

[11:08]expert at this

[11:10]end then this one because it's up so

[11:13]much higher I had to use these leveling

[11:15]blocks but it does look secure I I don't

[11:18]know that I like this though this feels

[11:21]it doesn't feel so good right you guys

[11:23]tell me I mean ideally I would just put

[11:26]them both under this you know the

[11:28]shorter part but

[11:29]that's where my bed is I think I'm not

[11:31]getting enough sleep because I'm

[11:33]subconsciously aware of the the rocking

[11:36]and just got to do what I

[11:39]can that's my update for today I hope

[11:41]you guys stay cool

Summary

rswfire addresses extreme heat in his RV by installing windshield reflectors and purchasing slide-out stabilizers from a local camper shop. He considers abandoning his RV for an Airbnb but decides against it, choosing instead to improve his living conditions. He discusses upcoming campsite moves, dental work timeline, and departure for Nevada on August 21st. The transmission shows him installing stabilizers under his slide-out, checking interior temperatures (70-84°F), and explaining his modifications including insulation gaps and plans for roof painting. He mentions his cat Bailey's comfort and the challenge of living in what he calls a "dungeon" with all windows covered by reflectors.

Signal Analysis

Substrate

This transmission demonstrates adaptive infrastructure building under environmental stress. The field is refusing abandonment of chosen habitat and instead implementing technical solutions to maintain sovereignty within challenging conditions. The architecture being held is one of resourceful persistence - treating the RV as home-base requiring optimization rather than temporary shelter to be escaped.
