    Website Updates Squat the Planet will be shutting down at the end of 2023

    Oh wow! An end of an era. You've been telling me for years how you wanted to move away from this site, I always knew this was gonna happen eventually. Still, I know this was a tremendous decision that wasn't by any means easy to make. I know I'll be forever grateful for the hard work and love...

    Safety as a Queer/Trans Dirty Kid traveling in Texas?

    I lived in west Texas for a stint as an openly queer person and lemme tell ya, your concerns are valid. People out there can say the most bigoted bullshit without thinking anything of it, and the idea of getting into someone's crosshairs can be terrifying. My solution was to just jump back in to...

    WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE MUSHROOM? 🍄🍄🍄

    Blewit Mushrooms! They're relatively easy to identify and taste awesome. Kinda like more flavorful versions of store bought baby bellas. They used to grow on the mountain that I used to grow weed on, always a treat when I found one!

    News & Blogs The New Capt. America is a Gay Dirty Kid!!!

    Holy shit. Normally, Captain America is my least favorite super hero but a Gay, Trainhopping Captain America who defends homeless kids? I mean, that's some pretty fucking sweet representation right there. I'm really stoked for this all of a sudden.

    Question +10 Luck (lucky charms(not the cereal!))

    This ring belonged to my maternal grandfather. He was honestly the most responsible male role model that I had growing up. He had his faults for sure but he lived his life solely for the people he loved. When i knew him he was my kind hearted but stoic looking grandpa. My mom found this ring a...

    Boy howdy do I understand that. Yes they're both very dangerous but like all dangerous things there is a way to do it safely. There's a learning curve for sure but my next bit of unsolicited advice would be to remember your C's; composure, confidence, and cautiousness. Composure means always...

    Dealing with mental health and anger during 2020

    Yea, I was at that point back in September of 2019. Just lost my job growing weed, had to figure out something on the fly. I could either settle down and work on saving money to get myself a life that was my own or continue to float around in my van, working/living in places that were dependent...

    Dealing with mental health and anger during 2020

    My boss asked me a few weeks ago if I wanted to be a chef. Pretty typical question when you're working in a kitchen I suppose but that led the conversation to him just asking what it is that I'm working towards. The only answer I could give him was peace. Maintaining my mental health has felt...

    Is the CDC taking over the government?

    Honestly, it kinda feels like you got it backwards. It's like the government is trying to take over the CDC. Yes I'm aware that they're already a government agency, but look at this article. The Trump administration has stated that hospitals are to send all Covid info to them instead of the CDC...

    News & Blogs Why the ‘Chris McCandless Bus’ Was Removed From Alaska’s Wilderness

    Good riddance I say. I've talked about Chris McCandless quite a bit over the years and honestly his story is one that frustrates me greatly, mainly because I've met so many McCandless fans during my travels that try to emulate his"burn your possessions and the world will provide" mentality. I've...

    Overnight Parking In California? COVID 2020

    Before covid I used to find good parking around L.A. Echo Park was always a good spot to post up in for a few days, as long as your van is within the height/length restrictions. The park has a few homebums in it but they were all pretty chill. Plus the bathrooms got cleaned every morning so if...

    2021 Jamboree Outdoor movie night! Travel films, music video karaoke and other fun stuff

    Please god no Peewee's Big Adventure.... Large Marge forever scarred me as a child and I'd rather not be plagued with night terrors for the following months. Would Captain Ron count as too mainstream? It's got sailing, comedy, action, and a young Kurt Russell to look at.

    Dumpsters and Hobos: Jamboree Tabletop Gaming!

    The Anarcho Chef role is a nod to the Anarchist Cookbook as it deals with homemade molotov cocktails. Though now that you mention it there should totally be a role based on Food-Not-Bombs / Public Feeds. I'll make a note of it and try to work one in! Thanks!

    Psh, what I do to myself on my own time is my business. But @iamwhatiam, you're welcome to watch. As an owner of a white work van that I currently live in this article makes my eyes roll. I doubt that it'll raise suspicions or make my life more difficult in any way. People just love to panic.

    @roughdraft We're all looking for answers. But to believe that people who are struggling made some predestined choice to live in such a way is to completely discount the very real socio/economic problems that are rampant in our world. Someone who believes that sort of thing to me seems like...

    2019 Jamboree The NEW 2019 Jamboree: New Orleans Edition

    Yeah, there is totally security there but they seem rather lax. I figure we'll probably explore the base at night time and as long no one is running around screaming like banshees I think we'll be alright. It's UrbEx so I imagine we'd all know to be somewhat stealthy. Good looking out though...

    The Pronouns Thread

    Alright, when this thread started I didn't want to share my opinion. It seemed to me to be a conversation that I could learn from rather than voice my opinion or side. Sometimes it's better to just shut up and listen than to give input on things you aren't familiar with. However considering...
