This is what I remember as well; the card gave you more minutes and text than you would ever need, plus like 5GB data, and you could buy 30GB for like 25 bucks. All of it would roll over every month if you didn't use it. Always used Verizon towers, and didn't throttle your data. That was before...

I'm bumping this thread because of how awesome it is. I'll edit my story into this post when I get a minute after my (city) bus drops me off in SLC.

I have seen so much shit on the Dawg. I think we have a whole thread about it on here somewhere. Like, weird ahit people have experienced on Greyhound. It hilarious. Edit: Ooooo, here it is!!! Share your Greyhound Horror Stories

Its rare. But sometimes they do. I would say just go for it. I have only been id'ed a couple times. God i fucking hate the Dirty Dawg tho...

My recommendations are to get a clam chowder breadbowl on Fisherman's Wharf (if you have the money), walk the entirety of the Golden Gate, smoke a joint in panhandle Park, and hit up Ocean Beach. Public transit gets you everywhere in the bay. I love it there Cant wait to check out the east bay...

That is really really useful info. Thank you. I'll be in the Bay here in the next couple weeks, and will be checking those spots out. I've only really done the SF side of the bay stuff.

Kinda depends. NOT in the winter. Im here right now, and almost froze to death last night. There's tons of work...beehive state and all. Lots of houseless resources...Mormons and all....but that also comes with a bunch of 'GIT A JOB!!' right wing people. There are a TON of junkies and tweekers...

You can only get that tattoo if you've successfully hitched to Hell and made it back alive. Same goes for the train tracks. You have to be in the Honolulu Double-stack club before you can even THINK about putting it in ink. Also, please...and I'm pleading with you here...dont ever get them on...

Timesuck Podcast w/ Dan Cummins Just wanted to throw out this podcast to the StP universe, because I find it so absolutely amazing. Its hosted by Dan Cummins, who is an excellent stand up comedian. The premise is that he 'sucks' a myriad of topics ranging from serial killers, to cults, to...

Ya, Mint is good. Its been recommended to me by a few people.

Thread moved to the 'technology' section. I'm a slave to Verizon again because of where I live when I work at my job...but if that weren't a factor, I'd probably go back to TracPhone or SimpleTalk. Cheap, unlimited data....usually uses Verizon towers, which has the most coverage. Like $35/mo...

This is my best advice as well. I usually travel/am houseless during the winter, and this is what I would recommend. Plan your camp for cold. Like, setting up a tent in a topographical bowl, or in a drainage is going to be way colder than a flatland area. The more vegetation around you, the...

"Not so sure about carrying an ax when you're on the road tho" Kai the Hatchet Wielding Hitchhiker I met this dude im Arcata before all of the shit went down with him and that lawyer. I still believe his story. Probably not a great idea to carry a Hatchet hitchhiking anymore.

That gives a completely new meaning to the term 'slack-action'. Three points of contact, yo! Phalice to orifice/phalice to phalice/orifice to orifice doesn't count!

So awesome to hear about people getting their first van. Some random things I've learned after having mine a few years: -roof vent fan will change your life. Fantastic fan > MaxxAir -careful of the woodstove. If you have insurance, don't let them know you have one, no one will ever insure your...

I mean, honestly, the wealthy private sector (who is pretty much already in charge of the government in this country) would (and is) do(ing) the same thing via 'private property', housing prices, loans and HOAs. Alot of the blame for the current state of affairs falls on the private sector...

Moved to the General Banter section.

There's even less money to be made with what we do here...but it's balanced out with lasting memories, meeting badass people, and living a life free from the constraints of the capitalist hellscape we all find ourselves in. Make sure to read through the forums, and use the search...

Neoliberalism \= Leftism or the left side of the political spectrum in general. Centrist Right as the VERY best.

Ya, for real. I've been saying this for years now. It's funny how far people will go to make themselves feel like things are better than they really are. Everytime I get into this conversation with 'normie' people, they simply explain how I just 'don't understand economics'....mothetfucker...

Sweet Satan, I've never seen a site with more ads, lol. Honestly, Portland is a fucking wreck right now. I legit don't feel safe wandering around alot of places that used to be fine there. Seattle to a point as well. Cant wait for the coming recession. That should fix everything, right...

Ya, this is a good resource. I had a few friends helping out at that center. Here's the website: Taala Hooghan Anti-colonial Direct Action Resource Center

Wow, what a spot on description of Roseville 😂 don't feel bad about getting a Scamtrack from Roseville to Dunsmuir, many have done it. RSV is just really a pain in the ass, especially now with UP's PSR. I try to avoid it whenever possible. I hate being sick when traveling. I've been pretty...

For anyone who does choose to carry a bladder instead of a bottle (they do have many advantages over a bottle) check out the MSR Dromedary . I cannot recommend these enough. They are llined on the outside with a protective nylon canvas, and are really beefy...for a water bladder. They have...

I'm really happy to hear this. Thanks for keeping us updated, and I hope for the best. I'll probably be seeing you two at some point this winter, and I'm planning on alot of epic games of Stick when I do! Also, that look tho...she's like "I REALLY don't like you pointing that thing at me..." 😂

Can confirm. You need to find a shelter, get some free stuff. Find a cardboard dumpster, raid cardboard, sleep on it/wrap up in it. Try to find a heat vent near a building and sleep next to it. Find a Park with a pagoda to stay under, or some kind of overhead/wind shelter. I'm not goingto do...

Classic high quality cranberry juice bottle (1 gallon) with a handle, and a 1L Nalgene with duct tape wrapped around it, for me. I would go with just 2 2L Nalgenes, but I haven't got around to it yet. I like the disposable 1 gallon jug, because they get destroyed getting on/off trains.

Aw, wtf! Kaya! What is his paypal account? I will put it on my Instagram at the very least. This guy is a legend, and I've met this pupper personally. If you can help out, please do so!

That's very helpful. Thank you for the resource! Let me also add: For Native Americans in the area, Native Americans for Community Action (NACA) provides alot of healthcare/addiction/various services. https://nacainc.org/ There is a rescue mission right downtown...but you are required to be...

Flagstaff is my hometown. My Mom was forced to stay in Hope Cottage for about a year or so. That place sounded like a nightmare. She was totally brainwashed when she got out. Went from a 'religion is not the answer' person to a practicing Christian. Its because they forced prayer on everyone to...

This is what I was picturing when I read the title to this thread.

Just want to add, in case you are wondering about where the smoke is coming from, and whats up with fires (I use this to see if the train lines are being affected)its a national real time fire information website put together by the National Wildfire Coordination Group: NWCG - Inciweb

When I was in high school, I had a friend come back from NOLA with one less leg and half a hand. Dude was a semi-famous punk guitarist in the band Wreck13...not anymore. Jumped in a 53 without a floor. Train hopping is probably the most dangerous activity I've ever been a part of. It tops rock...

CrewSeekers - boats looking for crew There are many of these types of websites. You can also find ads at local marinas/port authorities. ALWAYS vet the captain before going on an ocean voyage. I've heard horror stories.

Getting off a sided train in the middle of nowhere (like on the overland) to take a shit or something, and not being able to get back on...like if it takes off and you don't notice or something. That would be close to a death sentence. Especially in winter/summer. That or being rolled at a...

Well, that looks sick! Ima have to get that campsite location from one of you at some point. Whats good on the 2022-2023 hangout locations?! Mojave/Sonoran anyone...? 🏜

Ok....that kinda comes off as brackish. Woah there...so, you don't 'own' this thread. This thread is part of an online community in which you have came into to ::checks notes:: ask for advice. And I've seen no one derail it so far. Although @sevedemanos ' reply went a little far, I'm not sure...

You are talking about squatting. That is a different story. A notice in the public record, or adequate warning and signage is lawful PC for issuing a trespassing citation or arrest on federal property. Rail lines aren't technically federal property, but they are treated a such being...

Ya, this is why you must verify information through your own research using multiple sources, sometimes with differing points of view. I feel like the world has forgotten the scientific process. I've done this, as have many other much more highly educated individuals than myself. The problem...

You see, thats the things about stating opinions vs. stating facts...stating something as an opinion could be anything. Doesn't mean you're a liar, but it can mean you are mislead or ignorant. Unless you are a medical doctor, or can quote a reputable medical doctor that can link vaccines to...

In my experience the cops and locals are worse in Vancouver. I have a couple places up there but really don't want to drop the locations because they are few and far between. The last time I went to PDX I got out as soon as I possibly could. I don't think I'll be going back, except to...

This last trip I took from UT to OR and back was only the 3rd time I've traveled in summer, and i had totally forgot how much is blows. I resorted to finding any water source, and I do mean anything, minus a sewer, and completely soaking my clothing. I would continue to next water source and do...

Thanks man, it was great meeting ya, and I'm sure we'll see each other out there again! I needed that trip so bad, even though I bitched constantly about UP lines turning to absolute shit, I was having the time of my life! Rebuilt some jungles, got stalked by a rabid fox, and had a creepy dude...

Wish I could make it, y'all. I was JUST up there, too! Just got back down to Utah again and have to start work again. Love that area of Oregon. Should be beautiful. Have fun!
