Camp Syncro is located at the northern end of Marienfluss valley (Namibia) , right at the edge of the Kunene river, at the border to Angola. It is a remote paradise where you can find a place of recreation, far off civilisation-induced stress. Camp Syncro is a unique safari camp for individualists. It can be reached only by 4x4 vehicle within a day's drive from either Opuwo or Sesfontein. It is the only camp in that region. A unique atmosphere is created by the subtle background rush of the river, the recurrent clacking of cattle and goat hooves on the pebble stones and the warbling of the mourning dove in the trees.
----------------
Das Camp Syncro liegt am nördlichen Ende des Marienflusstals (Namibia), direkt am Ufer des Kunene-Flusses, an der Grenze zu Angola. Es ist ein abgelegenes Paradies, in dem man fernab von zivilisatorischem Stress einen Ort der Erholung findet. Camp Syncro ist ein einzigartiges Safaricamp für Individualisten. Es kann nur mit einem 4x4-Fahrzeug innerhalb einer Tagesfahrt von Opuwo oder Sesfontein erreicht werden. Es ist das einzige Camp in dieser Region. Eine einzigartige Atmosphäre entsteht durch das leise Rauschen des Flusses im Hintergrund, das immer wiederkehrende Klappern von Rinder- und Ziegenhufen auf den Kieselsteinen und das gurren der Tauben in den Bäumen.

Ok ok ok so a few days ago I was looking on Reddit and one of your quotes stood out to me. It was "Fukurodani is Karasuno's future" and for some reason that's just sticking to me and I can't let it go and I think that's a amazing topic to discuss
I mean honestly I think that's why Fukurodani is so important, they're like a friendly role model for Karasuno. just like every other team at the Tokyo training camps sort of inadvertently gave karasuno their power ups (stronger spikes from ubugawa, syncro attacks from shinzen, the pipe attack from nekoma) fukurodani gives them the blueprint for what a complete, Nationally ranked volleyball team looks like.
and mainly it requires a lot of selflessness. like especially during the "return of the King" arc, when they have come together and learn to communicate after kageyama snaps at noya and asahi. and it's difficult. sometimes people say things that hurt your feelings. but a true team will put those feelings aside and really listen to what their team needs from them.
and like tbh the bokuto and hinata parallels are obvious, but the effect they have on their team is similar too. like since bokuto is such a target, a lot of attention is directed at him, freeing up fukurodani's other spikers, just like hinata does as a decoy. the biggest difference is that fukurodani is used to bokuto being out of commission. which. could have come in handy during the kamomedai match
tbh fukurodani is a weird team bc they are not set up as antagonists (like oikawa and ushijima) or have a history with the team (like date tech and nekoma) and they dont have an obvious rival like miya atsumu or hoshiumi either. if anything hinata and kags just both admire bokuto and akaashi a lot, and while a match between them would be fun, I don't see it has having the emotional stakes that like the Battle at the Garbage Heap and other rival teams had.
so yeah I feel like I have said a lot of this before, but I think the take away from fukurodani is to see what karasuno could be with a fully in sync power couple (bokuto/akaashi, hinata/kageyama) and with a fully developed team supporting them
#haikyuu!!#fukurodani#karasuno#cutieanon#gabbi has the answers#thanks for the ask please tell me what you think aoebrkek#especially since its against fukurodani that the new freak quick is finally accomplished#which requires a kags to do an insane set#just like akaashi does an insane amount to keep bokuto bouyant#fukurodani is a great team and my favorite bc of how lovjng they all are#like bokuto is so silly but they will all say hey hey hey with him if it makes him feel better#how cute is that#long post ///

It may have only been a week but I’m missing my home-on-wheels. There’s been huge amounts of snow here in Lofoten and I’d give anything to take this beast up some remote trails to camp in the mountains. The syncro was one of the only vehicles still able to get around last year when we had the biggest snow storm in thirty years. However, the engine rebuild from the @thevwenginecompany will make this vehicle more capable than ever. Im super excited. #vwsyncro https://www.instagram.com/p/B8MWAGpACQP/?igshid=9ed0f13b5iob

You’ve seen it before, couples who have quit their desk jobs and sold all their belongings to live on the road exploring the world in a van. Who hasn’t day dreamed about that at their job?
The Top Creative Van Conversions. How many of you have dreamt of converting your own van into a mobile home? There are so many rad inspiration sites and blogs out there with some amazing van conversions – from vintage VWs to top notch Sprinters. Change 3D to 3D video file. Aiseesoft 3D converter can work perfectly to convert video between 3D files. If you want to enjoy a higher resolution 1080p HD, then you may need to consider changing your Top and Bottom (TaB) 3D video in 720p into Side by Side (SbS) video file in 1080p. The FreeBSD Project. FreeBSD is an operating system used to power modern servers, desktops, and embedded platforms.A large community has continually developed it for more than thirty years. Free Video to MP3 Converter extracts audio tracks from video clips and converts them to MP3, AAC, WAV, and many other audio formats for ringtones, notifications, and tunes.
With the ever-increasing cost of living and presence of screens in all facets of our lives, many people are finding ways to escape all those problems by living off the grid. When looking to live life exploring nature, turning a van into a rolling apartment is becoming an attractive option.
So you want to live to the van life. Where do you start?
All you really need is something that's comfortable to drive and has a lot of room for all your belongings.
Depending on your budget, you can either buy an old van and build it out or buy something fully built and hit the road. What are your options?
Full Sized Van
Types: Dodge Ram Van, Ford Econoline, Chevy Express/Astro
Pros: Can be had for cheap, plentiful, large and roomy, parts are abundant, many low mileage examples
Cons: Poor gas mileage, handles like a hollowed out loaf of bread, dated styling
These old full-sized vans come in all shapes and sizes. Expect to find these between $2k and $20k. You’ll find them in various states of wear, coming from their previous lives of airport shuttle or neglected conversion vans.
Cargo Van
Types: Mercedes Benz Sprinter, Ram Promaster, Ford Transit, Nissan NV
Pros: High roof models allow you to stand in the back, flat floors, you can probably turn this into a rolling apartment, no windows = privacy
Cons: Expensive, high mileage, no windows = people may assume you are some kind of criminal
A cargo van is the ideal platform for the van life. These can range from $1k to the high $20ks. Their flat floors, tall roofs and lack of rear windows make these a blank canvas with endless possibilities. Some van life builds feature a dining table, kitchen counter and sink, shower and a raised sleeping area.
Camper Van
Types: VW Vanagon, Converted Mercedes Benz Sprinter or Metris
Pros: Built for van life, available 4x4, aftermarket support, Volkswagen cult following
Cons: Expensive, parts for older models may be hard to come by, Volkswagen reliability
New or old, these vans can break the bank. Early '90s VW Vanagon Westfalia Syncros typically go for $20k to 30k. For as much as $90k, companies such as Sportsmobile offer these with a pop top camper, kitchen and sleeping area with four-wheel drive and solid front and rear axles, creating an apartment that you can rock crawl.
What You'll Need
Aside from making sure your maintenance is up to date, a camper van doesn’t need much to be ready for life on the road. If you’re not planning to venture too far off the paved road, you can do without a lift or armor.
You’ll be spending a lot of time inside the van, so focus your attention to creature comforts you may need every day. Unfortunately, your space is limited. What essentials will you need?
Food Storage: Stove, Fridge, Sink
This can range from a simple camp setup to building a whole mini kitchen with a pullout sink, fridge and such. Depending on climate and how long you will need to store your food, you may not need a fridge, and an ice chest can suffice.
Electrical: Dual Battery, Solar, Power Inverter
Off the grid doesn’t mean you have to go without electricity. When traveling, you want to make sure you have enough to power not only the van, but also everything you use when you're parked. A power inverter is a great upgrade because it allows you to use items that have a household three-prong plug.
A dual battery setup keeps you from being stranded by supplying backup to your main battery while providing power to all your accessories.
Creature Comforts: Bedding, Curtains
If the seats don’t fold down flat, you may need to build a sleeping platform. Typically made from wood, a sleeping platform creates a flat sleeping surface. The open space under the sleeping platform is perfect for tucking away all your other belongings.
Where To Sleep
If you’re out of the city, most BLM land is free to sleep in overnight. In the city, you’ll want to blend in with your surroundings. Find well-lit areas with where other cars park overnight, such as a the parking lots of Wal-Marts, hotels and 24-hour stores and well-lit street parking. These places are typically safe enough to park in overnight.
You may or may not need any of these items. The best way to find out what you need without over-spending is to get out there and find out what you need and can live without as you go.

Want to know what it's actually like to live on the road? We tried it out!
When it comes to DIY campervan conversions there is no better vehicle than a minivan for a camper. Once you get past the fact that it’s a minivan you’ll quickly see it’s the best DIY camper for just about every type of camping trip or even long-term living. Here is our design for the best Minivan Camper and we have road tested it for more than 30,000 miles and 150+ nights over two multi-month trips and lots of weekends.
We converted a 2006 Honda Odessy minivan into a campervan with a full-sized mattress, 7 under bed storage drawers, nicely equipped kitchen, cooler, and power charging station. We pulled off this conversion in about three days and under $350.
Take a tour of our Minivan Camper Conversion
This video gives you a quick look inside of our minivan along with some sweet music. The video doesn’t go into depth on the actual build, but all of that is described below and one of these days we should make another video on more about the minivan to campervan conversion process.
Picking a minivan for your Minivan to campervan conversion
We choose a minivan for our project because they are much more fuel efficient than full-size vans and would give us the most amount of space for the money. We bought our 2006 Honda Oddessy for $6500 with just over 100,000 miles.
Things to look for in a minivan camper:
Good mechanical condition – check service records and have it inspected before starting a long trip.
Room for a full sized bed (or close) – which is 54 inches, ours was about 51-52″ between the narrowest point but we used a flexible mattress which fit nicely.
Consider a good condition minivan around 100,000 miles – After a minivan passes 100,000 miles the price drops to a very affordable level.
How to convert a minivan into the best campervan ever
We are going to take you step by step on how to make your minivan into the best campervan possible. Since everyone might be working with a different van the dimensions of your camper will be different. So, instead of giving exact measurements I used, I will give suggestions on how much room between different parts of the build I would leave, and things like that instead of my exact blueprints.
Tools Required for this campervan conversion
Man Converted Van Into Home Download Free For Macoikos Students
Drill with Phillips screwdriver & a 1/8′ drill bit
Tape Measurer
Circular Saw or Table Saw or just a hand saw if that’s what you have
Level
Other general hand tools would be helpful but are not required
Supplies Required for this campervan conversion
From Building Supply Store:
2 – sheets of 4′ x 8′ plywood for the top of the bed platform and kitchen storage unit
10 – 2″x 2″ pine studs
1 – Box of screws to build the bed frame and kitchen cabinet frame
1 – Roll of reflective windshield shade material custom cut to fit the front window
1 – Roll of standard duct tape
From Amazon, we found the best prices on Amazon and it’s delivered right to your home:
1 – Full-size premium Futon mattress $169, we love this mattress it’s honestly better than hotel beds and comparable to our bed at home
7 – Sterlite tubs to go under the bed frame
2 – Sterlite storage crates $6.25
1 – Coleman cooler $58
1 – Compact folding table $43
2 – Outdoor folding chairs
Step 1. Remove the Minivan 2nd and 3rd-row seats
We started our conversion by removing all of the back seats of the van. We will be traveling as just two people so more seats while isn’t necessary. Honestly, a minivan camper is probably best for 2 people at most, if you are planning a trip with more people a bigger van might be a better option.
If you have a van with a third-row seat that folds flat, still consider removing it and using that pocket for additional storage. We used this space to add about a 12″ deep by the width of the van of extra storage space. I was tempted to leave it in there and make building the minivan camper easier, but the extra room was great.
Step 2. Building a platform frame for the bed
We rented a campervan for our trip to New Zealand and it had storage under the bed which was great but in their design, you had to lift the mattress up to access to storage. We wanted quick easy access to the storage and to have it divided and also cheap and easy to make.
We used 2″x 2″ pine studs to make the supports for the frame and a piece of cheap OSB roofing plywood for the top of the platform. We built the platform to raise the bed and frame high enough to slide bins in that we bought.
Start just behind the front seats to put your first bed platform frame member. Double check to make sure to make it high enough for your storage bins to fit underneath including any part of the frame. After the first one is the get a level and set the height of the back frame member.
The reason I did this is that the floor of our van was all kinds of different heights. The floor was higher and lower in many places so to get the bed level I would suggest setting the front frame support and then the back with a level, and the build each of the rest to fit your van floor.
Step 3. Adding under-bed storage
We built out platform tall enough for a bunch of plastic bins to slide under. Using plastic bins didn’t require building and tracks or complicated systems, just slide them in and go. We have used 7-inch tall bins since we did the camper conversion a few years ago, but next trip we are planning on raising the platform for more storage. Always, always build in as much storage as you possibly can, it will make trips in your campervan much more enjoyable.
Step 4. Build a ‘Kitchen’ Storage Cabinet
Here is where you can get as crazy as you want, but we wanted to keep it simple. Our kitchen is primarily for storage and we cook and clean everything on a small fold-out table. When we are camping we find we end up cooking on this table or a campsite picnic table and doing washup here as well. So we didn’t want to add a sink because it adds a lot of costs and they never really work that well.
A 12v refrigerator cooler would be great if you are on the move a lot, but if you are going to stay put for days at a time a normal quality cooler is probably better.
Step 5. DIY Camper Window Shades
As funny as this sounds widow shades can make or break your camper build. Our first design of window shades we a total disaster and we were constantly fixing them. Our van has side curtain airbags in the back around most of the windows so we couldn’t screw in and mount anything to hold sliding fabric shades. So, we tried to attach brackets to the windows themselves. Note nothing expoy-ed, sticky velcro-ed, or anything suction to windows in a campervan will ever be permanent.
Optional – Blackout shades for a DIY Campervan
Last summer we drove to Alaska during the solstice and we knew we needed to get some sleep during the 24 hours of sun so we build blackout shades for our minivan camper. We did this cheap and easy, of course. We bought black poster board from Walmart and then with the windows open we held the poster board inside the van and traced out the shape of the window best we could. We cut them out using an Exacto knife.
This got the blackout shades close, but then we took 2″ wide (standard size) duct tape a taped the perimeter with pieces of the tape laying half of the width on the board and half hanging over. then did the same on the other side sticking both sticky sides of the tape together. This made up for any errors we made while tracing and created a flexible edge to really seal out all of the light. These worked out really well, we were even able to sleep in the middle of the day for a nap when we started out late taking photos or slept in bright parking lots – these are great for stealth camping for both privacy and blocking out the light.
Step 6. Basic 120 Volt Charging Station (wall/house power outlets)
All minivans should have several 12v power outlets or cigarette adapters and with a low-cost power inverter $29.99 you can charge or power most household things. This takes a lot of power and should really only be used while driving or the van is turned on.
Last step. Put the mattress into the minivan camper
We put our mattress in right after building the platform and it constantly got dirty and sometimes damaged as we finished the campervan conversion. After you finish the bed platform make sure the mattress fits, but then leave it out of the van until the very end, it will keep it a lot nicer as you finish building your campervan.

Additional pieces of kit to consider
Portable Jump Station – If you plan to be in some remote areas it’s best to be prepared. You might forget to turn off a light or cold temperatures at night can make a weak battery not start. With this unit, you can jump-start your camper without having to use another car. We bought this portable jump station with an air compressor for $45.
Things that worked and didn’t in our minivan camper
Stuff that worked:
The Bed – Our bed was actually super comfortable, I would rather sleep on this mattress than a bunch of hotels I’ve stayed in. We measured the inside of the wheel wells and they were about 2-3″ too narrow for a ‘real’ full-size mattress, so we were pretty confident that a premium futon mattress would squeeze into the space and it did. A spring mattress might have but it would have been a tighter fit. Plus the mattress was only $123 shipped right to our door.
Home Movie Download
The Kitchen – It works well mostly for storage, the cooking we do is usually on our fold up table or on a picnic table.
Stuff that didn’t work:
Suction cups to hold anything on the windows long term, with heat they fall
Command strip hangers on the window, when it gets over 100° they fall off
Cast Iron pots and pans, unless you are cooking over a fire a lot, they are too hard to clean and keep from rusting when you can’t wash them right away (or maybe we just got bad quality ones)
Our first window shades – Our biggest problems we the window shades, we are seriously thinking about having the windows heavily tinted in the back to help with this and give us more privacy.
