Sam Harris’ Waking Up Podcast: The Edge of Humanity with Yuval Harari

Blueprints As you can see here, four side-facing murphy beds are at the rear of the trailer. These can fold up and down to allow lots of extra storage while in transit. Two Ikea 2×4 Kallax shelves are mounted to the walls just forward of the beds. These allow plenty of personal storage for campers.… Continue reading Early Vehicle Ideas
