I accidentally went knee deep in a peat bog yesterday in a blizzard on Dartmoor. My boots are soaked. They are currently stuffed with dirty socks to soak up some of the water and sitting on the dashboard of my van soaking up any sun that there is. Has anybody got a top tips for drying out footwear?

Seems like I may be squatting in the wilds of Massachusetts this winter. The house is in good condition, but I've lived through Massachusetts winters and now how cruel they can be. I've also never squatted a place long term, or really even more than a night... So, any hints, tricks, or tips? I...

Well there was a posting in Litha Park about a few weeks ago that there was a Cougar sighting near a neighborhood just outside the park. I was wondering if anyone had any tips or stories on how they handled wild animals while camping out in the woods. From my experience, I dealt with a few...

I haven't hitched through all of South East Asia so I am uncertain on many places, but I was going to go over some advice for hitching in the places I traveled over the last month. Malaysia So this is probably the easiest hitch hiking I have ever done in my life depending on your location...

My fiancee and I both love helping people and I've done quite a bit of wandering. We both want to settle down and start a commune when we move to Utah. We want to have several off the grid houses for people staying long term and an area for tents for short term stays, some farm land, a business...

Hey guys I'm new to travelling and new to StP. So a little background on myself and my life since this is my first post. I'm a 21 year old black punk and I live in fort waste, Indiana. I've spent roughly the last 5 years of my life couch-hopping. But as of about a year ago I was stricken with a...

Where I live, in the middle Georgia area, the only A/N store closed years ago (the building is still there however if you want to squat there).

Problem: You've found the perfect spot to set up home base in this town... You're gonna need transportation to get around and on the cheap. The obvious solution to any punk is a bicycle, but for rubber tramps space is limited and sacrificing sleeping space for a bike kinda eliminates the point...

So I thought I'd share some tips for those new tramps who plan to spend most of your time in cities, suburbs, and towns. Even on sites about "stealth camping"; I've noticed there is really limited information on living in an RV in the city, and the information that is available never explores...

Hello, I have been seriously considering drifting for the past few months. I am getting sick of the capitalist system of wage slavery, consumerism, and the vile state the human race has turned into. I seek something more liberating. It seems soon I will be hitting the road. A little background...

i've been trying to teach myself to pick locks recently but i've been having a lot of trouble with it. I don't know if it's the fact that i'm using all home made picks and wrenches and things like that or if i'm just really bad at it. I can normally get the closest pin up but after that i have...

So, I was recently in Santa Cruz, CA and I learned this awesome trick for making the cops release you once you've gotten caught. It worked for small things like loitering and tagging walls and the such... I don't know how it would work for bigger "crimes"... All you have to do is tell the cop...
