    Motorized Biking: Heading to Mexico? South America?

    Howdy everybody. I have felt visceral disgust at the white shit that surrounds me and everything up here in the woods of Upstate New York - the locals call it "snow". Even just going out for a smoke becomes a military operation. My desert boots have soaked to the core, and I start to think: I am...

    Upstate NY backwoods anarchist "alternative university"

    Howdy folks. This is on offer as long as I am in the area, which as far as I can tell, I'll be here a while, probably the whole winter unless something changes (and things do change often!). I'm posted up somewhere between I-90 and the Canadian Border in a little trailer that is ancient. I'm...

    As of 9/17/16: Westjet flights $187 Toronto to London

    Thought I'd put a line out, as it's a great frickin deal. I long didn't consider Europe because of cost but with this I definitely realize I can do it.

    The Mkettle Woodburner - anyone use one of these?

    I'm doing my "times are good financially" gear buying and getting some really dope stuff that will improve my quality of living right now and I found this: http://www.titaniumgoat.com/MKettle.html 13 oz, it's a 4"x7" water jacketed woodstove. It boils a pint of water in 6 to 8 minutes - for...

    Living in cargo net high in trees

    I found these badass helicopter cargo nets from browsing around army suplus shit on ebay, with a 2200 pound load, 14'6" both ways, for $60. I'm about to stay for a couple months (???) in Brooklyn and was pretty impressed with an article from the NYT I found...

    Grenade vest with massive army surplus canvas pouches

    So I'm housed up at my cousin's for a sec to do some work before going back to the desert and I found some weird shit in the family army surplus stock and am re-doing my setup. I'm not sure if I'm on some straight wingnut shit with this idea, but it's so damn comfortable I'm likely to stick with...

    Idea: jogging stroller motorized with two stroke, towing me on a skateboard..

    Just like the title says. Put your gear in the stroller, gas it up, and cruise. You'd ride across America as one of the most ridiculous loons in history but you'd be legal (?) And have a good time? What could possibly go wrong? It'd be cheap too. Ever seen anyone do this? Glaring flaws?

    Northern NYS Rideshare Board

    https://www.co.essex.ny.us/AdirondackRegionalRideShare/Rides.aspx Pretty neat resource if you are way upstate or in the adirondacks, particularly for a long period of time. Haven't tried the emails yet so I can't tell if they're up to date, but might be useful to some of y'all.

    How many of you travel as a 'crew'?

    I've traveled solo for the last three years, mostly hitchhiking, and mostly moving very fast. In the last year, I've started to feel this very dissociative, 'haunted' feeling when I'm on the move. I'll see families of normal people doing their thing and I'll feel this weird tinge of jealousy...

    Heres a story I've been writing. Share stuff you've written!

    link: https://docs.google.com/document/d/14H8SbfwKHN6PXsYCd_h3u5jPrjImctTdaVRrkzDBZCs/edit?usp=sharing It's a bit goofy but it's wicked fun to write. I've always had friends and fam ask why I didn't write about travels or document them in some way and I think this sort of shit is the closest...

    Starting up for less than $1k? Or living in a parked parts van?

    I just got back from hitching the west and am trying to hole up and do some academic work and art now, to have a little space of my own while my partner finishes college. I had been thinking about renting some land and putting up a tipi or a camper on it, but renting land is proving to be a pain...

    Bike-Towed Mobile Home Commune System

    I got a pretty wild idea working out here in W. MA. I've built my second bicycle trailer mobile home and am refining it this month to be stronger and lighter. It's eight feet long, two and a half feet wide (will be three feet wide after I overhaul it), and three and a half feet tall. I built it...

    White Collar Squatting: in plain sight

    http://www.nytimes.com/2010/09/22/nyregion/22about.html Check this article out, I'd be interested in hearing more accounts of squatting in plain sight. Granted, he didn't live there, but I'm talking about this sort of thing AND living there. I've always dreamed of finding a tucked-away...
