I rafted the tallulah gorge 4 times last November. It's a class III-V wilderness run only released 5 weekends out of the year.

Just saw he died on LATFO. He has long dreads. Hung out with him in SAV. Can't post the pic from my phone. Anyone know how he died? He would've been 24 today or yesterday. RIP Max

Lol. I grew up in Dalton. It's the carpet capital of the world. I still live pretty close to there just across te line in TN.

Te first three songs I wrote for this band. We had some really awesome songs after this but we split and they were never recorded. Fun times compared to te break down "scene" bands I've been in. http://m.myspace.com/home.wap?bfd=webnext&isredirected=true#friends.list/profile/463302996

My old band was supposed to play this two or three years ago... We split up :( Not very far at all from me.

Cool.. I live near the Ocoee River.

Ah.

Are you the dharma bum that was on "Appalacian Impressions"? For the third time I've had to postpone my section hike Springer ----> Fontana Dam, NC So now it's gonna be June 1st before I'm out and it's gonna be hot as hell... Fuck. Been leaving since March :/

And shwilly ass scummy kids are to thank for the cops fucking with them. You just don't sit around drinking a half gallon spanging ppl with you shoes off while frenching your dog. Ppl dont want to see it. savannah is out of control now, it used to be ok to the traveler. Up the crust...

Obviously , you haven't been there because savannah has a rather large crime problem.

Bonnaroo-tay!!! Well, if you end up in Chattanooga, HMU and we can drink a beer and watch some traims or something. Also, if you make it to Chatt, you're only two rides away from Jacksonville.

I don't want to be a dick..... But yeah.. Riding trains is still illegal. Just because your friends die doesn't mean your exempt from the law. You rob a store with your buddy and the cops shoot and kill him are you off the hook? No sir.. The rails are tired of finding dead kids.. A dude fell...

I'm high tech tho.. I also carry a Therm a Rest sleeping pad used with a Klymit X Frame (torso length) inflatable on top of that. I sleep very comfortably.

I use comp sleeping bags.. I have a 20 degree and a 45.. Theyre really easy to pack.. I only use the compression sack when I know I won't be on the back of a car and decide I'm cold.. I just shove it in the top of the pack for easy access. Actually sometimes I can pack better without using the...

Sawyers squeeze filter..hands down.. If you're that type of person... Personally I don't use one on the road. But I would go with this filter. Pricey, but it seriously is good for like 100,000,000 squeezings before you change the filter.. I'm not much on links so google it.

A tent is just an extra 4+ lbs and less room in the pack.

Leave your tent. You probably won't use it unless you're planning on homebumming the outskirts of town... A tarp will suit fine.. Need a tent? Cut some Natural stakes and a cut to length stick..learn how to rig a tarp. Viola!! You have a tent. 88% of the stuff in your bag will never see the...

:( I wish I lived out west... No one ever meets up with me. Oh, and almost everyone in savannah sucked this year. Next to Forks and Lurch. Everyone wants to be a crust lord, shwilly kid.

Where bouts in Kentucky, brother bear? If you're in ATL and utilize the Google button on the Internet machine combined with YouTube may be able to figure it out.. Or just go through and like all of CXR's posts from November 23rd 2010 til now and he will probably just tell you when, where and how...

My god, when will this thread be closed?.?

BUMP!!! http://www.ramusa.org/expeditions/schedule2013.html If anyone wants to make it to Chattanooga for the Cleveland, TN clinic.... you can stay at my place. I go to these every year.

There's no use in aiming for an under par pack. Or a beater. Or something previously beaten up. If someone gives you shit for having nice gear tell them to lick your asshole. You may have had your pack stolen and some one couldve bought or kicked down from new(er) pack. Maybe it's your first...

^ but I love them.

Pretty dick move on my part..... But I once shit on the hood of a ford expedition in an alley in savannah. They parked way too close. I was pretty hammered. Later that night a chick hit me in the head with a wooden shoe. Karma. This was pre travel days BTW.

Everywhere downtown

4 not 4s

iPhone..... Always. Too many advantages to mention having a smart phone. My phone is jailbroken.

Liters and capacity don't affect the fit. The brand or company does tho.. Gregory, osprey. Granite gear, gossimer, deuter, kelty, black diamond, north face... Going to feel totally different. The bag size is determined by you back LENGTH. It has nothing to do with how fat or skinny the person...

Yeah you're right... I noticed that she hasn't been back since feb 4th. Oh well. It'll be here for someone else to find. And I'll still be in SAV come march 19th.

Actually yeah.. You can drive to savannah. Go there st pattys is coming up and there will be more kids than you can shake a stick at. Or take the greyhound so you don't have to abandon your car for a few days. have you ever slept outside? Are you afraid of germs? There is basically no such...

Id say that if you want to get out and aren't ready to hitch or ride uncomfortable, boring, dirty, dangerous trains. Try megabus. Its cheap and it'll get you out there. Pack a bag and go to a known place of interest for travelers. Can't go to savannah tho megabus doesn't go there. Try greyhound...

Biiiiiig difference from east coast homebums and west coast for sure. most of my west coast homebum experiences were ok. I live on the east coast most of the home bums are agro as fuck and pissed at the world while the west coast dudes are in my experience mostly friendly. I've wondered why for...

Osprey Exos 46 It weighs just over two lbs..

If your gonna carry a weeks worth of clothes and extra shoes then it's going to be hard not to get a bigger bag.. I have a 46 liter osprey pack which is around 2800 cubic inches. Just went down from a 4400 ci pack. I can fit everything I would ever dream of carrying and never use in this pack...

Good call

The biggest issue is. You can't go in anywhere. And as you said transit. Unless you do the stupid blown up "service animal" scam We had a dog in Beale st in Memphis where dogs are not allowed. Service tags and patches and vest and shit. Well the dumb dogs has to bark at anything that breaths...

This is the second thread I've seen him out right dodge the record that ppl post about him. Like he just replies with whatever he was talking about.

Picked up this kid and Tree in Chattanooga one night.. Took them to our hotel, drank whiskey and tall cans for a few minutes until I got in a fight with my friend Animal. Cops came got Kicked out. Took a cab to my GFs sisters house and drank all night with everyone. RIP MC

Cool story.. How long you gonna be in Alaska?

You start at RSVL, CA... Or you could just go for it in Oakland. You live at the start of a very popular line called the overland route that runs from ( more or less) Oakland, CA to Council Bluffs, IA . Some say the line ends in Chicago but I believe the original route ended in Council Bluffs...

if you have a camelback use it.. fill it up and forget about it. still get yourself a gallon jug.. use the camelback as "emergency" water. keep in mind that water is kinda heavy.. good luck.

If you're trying to lay low....... You should probably stop giving a play by play on the Internet.. Atlanta ain't that bad... Yes, it's big and black but if you don't fuck with anyone they won't fuck with you.. The worst that will happen is, if you're DT ATL you might see someone hit some...

Yeah.. Unless you have a travel guitar..... Carry it.. I just sold a Martin today for 7 bucks cause two days ago hopping out I totally fucked it on a 53 ladder. Busted it to shit.. I didn't have a case tho.. Fuck roiling with a full size IMO. Martin backpacker or Johnson traveler. Traveler is...

If you make it to chatt I can show you a few ropes.

Yeah.. You're gonna at least need a good coat if you don't have a sleeping bag. Good shoes/boots and some sort of pack. Kids are always in nashville. Find them. Don't talk too much and try to leave with them. Might want to go roll around in the dirt before encountering them or they might not...

Eh... I can play guitar, bass (obviously), mando, dobro, hand drums (or a kit) and a little harmonica I suppose... I don't busk often tho... I have a guitar with me right now and I'm on the road.. Only busked once so far. But yeah, I be playin'.

Yeah.. It's hard not to. I'm traveling with some ill motherfuckers if they don't have a drink in the morning. But most times I'll wait till it gets later in the day before I join in..if I do.. I'll get shitty maybe twice a week. I like to smoke.. That's my thing.

Just don't fall in to the drinking all day type thing.

If you want to blend in in town you might wanna take a shower with you too.. Just saying.. Clothes won't hide the dirt and stink.
