    Squatting With The Keys

    Excellent advice on key codes! I used to deal with foreclosures and I can confirm what you state is true.

    Getting paid to squat.

    It's best if you can get on the internet and find the assessors website. This will give you the owners name and address. Then you you could print a standard lease agreement and fill in their information and all the other details. This helps with getting utilities on if you can afford it. It also...

    Featured So You Want To Run Away From Home

    Excellent advice. I ran away at 13. Hopped on my bike and just rode in the rain. I rode about 20 miles and had no clue where I was going. I found my grandparents house. Then my stepdad came to get me and he whipped the shit out of me. Like thanks. You're the only reason I ran away. Then...

    Awesome MINI van conversion!

    My van has around 167k on the odometer right now. I have a 6 cylinder cargo van with no interior. I had a coolant leak caused by corrosion on a metal "L" shaped piece on the top of upper intake. Bought a new head gasket and was able to find the "L"shaped connection on rockauto.com instead of...

    What's the best van for offroading? Needs to fit a bed

    4x4 isn't really needed. You still get stuck. Been there and done that. I'd shoot for a rust free van.

    Feeling trapped by Quarantine

    Seriously...at a minimum finish high school. Somehow someway. Take a year to travel to get it out of your system then double down on continuing your education. Take online courses for college if you need to. If I'd have someone tell me this I wouldn't have got so burned out out in college. I...

    Campervan or 4x4 truck and camper?

    I'm biased but I'd go with a white cargo van. Even if it's got a low roof. You can park anywhere and go unnoticed. Looks like a work vehicle and has the space you need. Plus you don't need to exit the vehicle to go to sleep.

    I like the idea of a Honda b/c of fuel efficiency. My 2002 Ford E-150 gets horrible gas mileage. (although that may be due to other issues)

    what are some questions to avoid asking people you meet traveling?

    You're overthinking this one but here's my 2 cents. I've never had a problem asking travelers and home bums for advice. The very first time I had to sleep on the streets I just walked up to the guy who was asleep on the bench at a local school... (who I've now known for 10+ years and consider a...

    Seeking Help StP HQ / Punk Rock RV Park

    I lived in KCMO for over a year. Cool town. A bit more expensive than what I was used to being from the mid-south. The only negative is the temperature. I was housed up with a job and apartment. Temps dipped into negative 15. The snow sucks too. There is cheap land but I'd focus further south -...

    Learn (read) about breathing. Being mindful. Sometimes I get so overwhelmed by literally everything that my thoughts snowball. I'll have 5 songs playing in my head at once. My mind will feel like a fishbowl with millions of words. Anxiety is hard. But when you learn to control your...

    Composting toilet or a similar setup. It really sucks to be in town and at 5 am you have to pee. You can get a 5 gallon bucket and some sawdust. Regarding food supplies. Buy what you need when you need it. You can also double insulate a large cooler to make things last longer. You'll need...

    Anywhere to city camp in Covina area?

    Places like libraries may have a yellow "Safe Place" sign which I think makes it okay to stay there. I know I did at one in my area for waaaaaay too long. Never had a single problem. Many other car dwellers parked openly there daily too. Hope that helps. peace

    Where do you like to sleep?

    I loved a particular overpass of two streets in Midtown Memphis. You had to take a short walk over 4 or 5 RR tracks but when it rained you stayed dry. There was a water spigot you could access about 400 feet away. Strangely enough it was one of the best times in my life. Minus the scabies mattress.

    Chevy Astro Conversion Van

    Have you checked your fuses? Chevy's of that era seem to blow fuses easily - especially if there has been extra drain like running an inverter or a 12v - anything through your lighter outlet.
