No borders no nations, this world is all of ours and we all belong to the earth. The idea of nations just feeds into the idea of owning land and the privatization of common goods.

My friend uses an industrial sized chain and lock, you have to have a specialized type of boltcutters to cut it so pretty sure that would work well.

Midwest can really suck at times... since you know English and Spanish you can go to places like south America etc, and teach English n be able to travel abroad like that, also, you don't need money to travel! Half of the fun for me with traveling is the challenge of finding ways to sustain...

Not neccesarily saying I'll be taking part, but thought y'all might find this interesting. http://anarchistnews.org/content/black-hurricane-collective-crash-party-call-action Also the catholic workers in Chicago might be worth getting ahold of if you need a place to stay. There is also a church...

So the bridge being built wasnt a blatant disregard of animal life and the natural ecosystems around it? Its not at all a question of them being incompetent, it was entrapment and if the FBI never got involved they would've not even had the materials to try to blow up the bridge. Simply put, it...

Most bike shops will help you out for free if you ask/explain your situation, sometimes you can even get nice bikes for like $30 cuz dumbasses leave them there to get repaired and they never pick them up, and the bike shop doesnt have enough storage space for them. I got one of my mtn bikes that...

http://news.infoshop.org/article.php?story=20120501124227326 Knew one of these guys, and some of them were traveling kids.

Have they even set a place for it yet? last time i checked the location was still up in the air

Thanks for all the advice! I'm doing a short ride from Milwaukee to Chicago pretty soon, and plan on doing one from NM to Florida this winter. Outta curiosity, how much would it suck just having all my stuff in my alice pack instead of panniers?

I'm gonna be doing this at some point (hopefully) to see my friend in Argentina, sounds like a dumb question, but how fucked would I be if i don't know Spanish?

I know for fact that they have security still there, but if you wanna check out a nuclear power plant that never went online you can check out marble hill in Indiana

Punks Don't Give a Fest in Indianapolis is kinda cool or Dude Fest.

I was going to college for awhile, and honestly unless you wanna go to possibly make more income than you can now then you you're better off not goin, you can teach yourself more and in less time if you have the drive. 2

Was wondering if anyone has been able to find a Trains magazine torrent with all the pdfs or something like that, I know they offer digital copies so they have to be floating around the internet somewhere....

Somehow exploring an asbestos mine doesnt sound like the healthiest choice...

Mildy related, anyone ever take a razor scooter on the road? pros/cons?

Long story short, a cop told me they send canine units when someone is on top of roofs cuz the only people who go up on roofs are air conditioner thieves and they might be armed or crazy, so they send the dogs after them... Either they have really smart dogs that can climb ladders or scale walls...

So me and some friends are starting a radical community space in Indy, infoshop, lending library, a few community gardens etc. If you're ever going through Indy and need a place to crash, wanna help out with a garden, volunteer at the library, or just chill for a bit then hit me up!

Good job on saying you arent going to complain about your home life, then continue to do so. If you do go traveling and your underage then realize the consequences that will have on anyone you travel with, theres some threads on here about underage traveling, read those. The education system...

Check out Plan-It X Records, the majority of the bands/artists on that label are folk punk.

Seems pretty similar to what me n some friends are doing here in Indy, wish ya luck!

Btw, flying a sign that says something along the lines of 'jokes for a dollar' in the areas where all the drunk college kids hang out can make you pretty good $.

How many squatters does it take to screw in a lightbulb? -You're squat has electricity!?!? What do you call a crusty chick with tattoos of maps all over her? - A navajo

Making a livable sized sand castle would be pretty sweet. Sounds like a good contribution to the PN blog if you had some good pics etc.

*the frame is from 73, rest of the stuff is newer.

For broken chains do you suggest having a spare or? Thats something I've never had to fix on my bike. I have a '73 Raleigh touring bike, so its a bit old but its a great bike.

ARA (Anti Racist Action) might be kind of what you're looking for, depends on the specific chapter or group for how into uhh 'self-defense' they are.

Thanks for the advice! Where all would it inhibit you from going? Hitchhiking in some cars would be a no go but besides that? You can always just walk your bike/carry it. Ummm... I think I'll pass on the culotte.

Out of curiosity, anyone else gotten a nice road bike before and instead of hitching or hopping just biked to wherever they are goin? If so any words of advice etc?

Probably dont want to but some ppl will cut them, boil them, then sow them back on to get rid of lice.... Also I'm assuming you know this but most shampoo is bad for your dreads, the residue it leaves makes it harder for them to matte/stay matted. Dish soap, or Dr. bronner's castile soap is...

Couchsurfing.org might work well for a place to crash. Also if anyone could find any big (commercial, not residential) vacant buildings those would be great for squats...

Most of it is pretty obvious. Stick your thumb out for a ride, hop a train (not as obvious for the how to), bike or walk. Dumpster for food or be a leech and get food stamps. Couchsurf, squat, or camp. You'll learn a lot quicker by just hittin the streets and not trying to figure out how from...

http://www.grassroutescaravan.org/ thought some of you bike kids out there might be interested in this. I should be meeting them in Minneapolis (i think) and biking from there to Chi-town.

Yeah, occupy is largely a bunch of reformists, and I see it eventually getting absorbed into capitalism just like the whole food (organic, local etc), diy, and 'green' movements have. Capitalism is the core problem and it'll just absorb and integrate anything that isnt directly fighting against...

We're you in Nola for when the occupy there had camp's in duncan plaza?

Met this dude in his late 30's from arkansas, think his name was Charles, he was the epitome of a handyman. Plumbing, electric, masonry, carpentry, you name it and he was good at it, he just traveled around in his service truck doin handyman work. Was one of the few respectable people I've met...

Damn, looked into it and only in Illinois and Massachusetts its illegal to record cops. thats just gonna add yet another thing to tack on to protesters. Ah well, I'm still recording them regardless.

Haha, Yeah I got out w/in the next day or so from when I originally posted it.

“No limits to my freedom can be found except freedom itself, or, if you prefer, we are not free to cease being free.” - Sartre Fav quote about freedom, and pretty much sums up my pov on it. It's an over used and over glorified word, we are all free, regardless of the situation. If any of your...

Idk how early my crew from indy will be there/leave indy but if anyone needs a ride to there from indy hit me up and i'll see what I can do. Ha, we should definitely have a StP convergence there at some point.

I'd say try to find a decent squat there before everyone else starts showing up and stash your stuff there. Or you can try couchsurfing and leave your stuff at your hosts place. All the rad cats from indy are definitely goin.

Before you talk about peace you need to define what peace and violence mean...

http://yggdrasildistro.wordpress.com/zines-literature/ Also zinelibrary.info has some good resources edible plants also

Thanks, and I already have a few houses I'm looking at. Cuz the housing bubble burst there are a crap ton of foreclosed homes for really cheap all over the U.S. I'm just hoping that the gentrification doesnt spread to the area I'm hopefully buying a house in.

idk about price ranges for all the states but working minimum wage full time for a couple months and really watching your pennies you can have enough to buy a small house in the midwest states. You'll always have somewhere to crash indefinitely, and when you are traveling about you can rent out...

Hurray for the Riff Raff is great, saw them in Nola.

Some good mathcore bands are botch and the fall of troy. cant remember what the name of it is but after FoT broke up the lead singer/gtrist did another project which is like FoT version2. just wikipedia the shit to find out the band name. For gypsy folk i'd say check out railyard ghosts, they're...

Agreed, you do realize though that if you buy something you're paying sales tax? I mean, thats common sense but I've rarely ever met someone who had never bought anything. We all contribute to the system one way or another, unless you go complete primi, which if you do, I give you props.

That actually happened in florida dude. If you act like an oogle and talk like a stupid dumbfuck then yeah, stating your rights etc wont work. If you sound like an educated, knowledgable person and act polite then you shouldnt have to worry all that much.

Havent read through all these posts, but noticed a few "why do I care, gov't doesnt affect me". Thats absolute bullshit and escapism. The majority of goverments let business continously destroy our planet. They make laws dictating where you can and cant sleep, can and cant walk etc etc. They...
