That's some serious mileage! How do you like the trailer?

Interesting, thank you. Of course, bulkheads are key in a true ocean-going vessel. Hunters aren't considered to be that well made, though it really depends on the year. Weren't bulkheads originally on junk boats?

As long as y'all are leaving that citrus-infested gator hole. If your heading north, pick me up in NC haha. This place kind of sucks as well...

I hear you on the packs varying in price. I had a sweet Osprey that I boosted from REI in PDX but someone stole it (karma, eh). I think it retailed for around $450 but honestly, it was a piece of shit. I really like this pack, and I'm 6'2" 200lbs so I could easily carry it. Could I find...

How is the Univega? I've had a few and loved them. I'm a big fan of single speed bikes. I miss my old Trek...

I have had similar experiences in the south. I wonder why that is? I've even had cops give me money down here, but no rides anywhere.

Hahaha. I forget what they called it in MDOC, but they would warm them up first to simulate a vagina. Good times.

If anyone has ever had the chance to check these books out, I highly recommend them. When I was a kid, my grandpa always had these in the back bedroom. They taught me how to make moonshine, trap critters, and everything else you can imagine. All based on Appalachian history and folklore. I...

I agree. I'm going to make some this weekend for my single speed. Awesome stuff for sure!

^^Yes, it is a commitment to buy a wood boat. I've had no luck thus far and I am considering going with a 70's Hunter fiberglass boat. The shame...

Careful, I heard @SiriusDragon likes to give out gonorrhea.. I'm just sayin'

Hahaha, when I saw the title of this thread I almost spit 4loko out of my nose!!

I did't know that either. Thanks!

Not hosed, eh?! That was great, I laughed my ass off. At any rate, water will be the issue. I'd imagine you could follow the cattle and find out where their water comes from. If it's a farmer your SOL, and a spring may or may not be better. It depends on where you are. Rain collection is...

Yeah, sounds like you a good trip! I agree with @cantcureherpes , you have to have a bag or blankets or something. So what do you have in mind next?

Hey man! Glad to hear you're givin' up the reins of civilized society. Chi-town is a blast for a first city!! Stay off of anywhere near Observatory Park, Pulaski, etc. When I was there last there were some cool spots on the river that weren't developed yet, though they're likely gone now...

Sounds like an interesting idea @AnOldHope Do you have much experience with permaculture? I ran a community garden in Detroit and we did veggies, mushrooms, chickens, and even tobacco. Water collection is key, as stated. I'd love to hear more about it! As for the hard drugs, definitely no...

How was Berkley?

Before Monsanto came along, we used to save our fucks for next season. Now we can't even do that...

oi. Sorry to hear that you were admitted for that. Glad to hear you were allowed to have your buddy with you.

I don't know much about the town, but it's near Gila, right?

ola! Up Canada, for sure. My dad lives in St. Johns.

Jim, I'm surprised that boat could handle 7.5 knots but I've read they're well made. She has a nice looking keel on her. Lead, obviously? I'm sure you replaced the halyards, I can't imagine using anything that old for too long. How is the mast/boom? I've read that boats from that era were...

Reminds me of all the times that my wife has been out flying a sign and guys will pull over and offer her money for sex. She had one guy stop 2 or 3 times trying to get laid. I guess because she looked homeless they assumed she was a hooker? BTW good post, spectacular

Yeah maci, sorry to hear about that garbage. You're a tough one for sure.

So am I. That's horrible that they charge so much. I know I've had to bail my buddy out more than a few times and it was expensive. At least they were adopted for the most part.

Wow. I remember when this happened, really bizarre. I don't know how I feel about him being released. On one hand, I sympathize with people who suffer from schizophrenia and have several friends that have it. On the other hand, none of my friends who suffer from it have ever cut someones...

What the hell??!!

I highly doubt he walked that whole way, but who knows. Interesting read, though.

^^I liked PA. The last time I went through was on my honeymoon and I had a blast. I really liked Clarion, people were real friendly there.

I'm wearing a pair of chacos in my avatar pic, they work well. No toe cover, though.

That's probably the most succinct description I've heard. Who knows, I heard hobos are crazy anyway... ::wtf::

^^Hehe. I'm in. I spent a lot time in the joint so I'm used to having pen-pals. Shoot me a msg. Don't be a child rapist...

Off-topic, but where are ya from in Michigan, OP?

I love IPAs as well. Guinness is made favorite beer though, I have it tattooed on my arm. Not beer at all, but I drink 4loko all the time (I don't know why).

^^yeah, I looked up a few. Pretty simple, actually. I think I might try something like this. I'll take pics if I do.

Ugh. I know the feeling. I always wear leather boots and I'm not great at changing my socks. When I was in the hospital they gave me a medicated soap for mrsa (yeah, I know), and it helped a lot with the smell. I always carry flip-flops for that kind of situation and to air my boots out a...

Nice pics man! Sailing is an art, much of it is easy to learn but I've never met anyone who would say they mastered it. I've been sailing a good while but hardly know anything compared to some folks. The Rawson looks very nice, it has an old look to it. How does she sail? Hope you have fun...

^^Hahaha, no kidding. I'm a huge cyclist so I know about waking up on the ground, tangled up in your bike. I'm definitely not letting it run my life though. I finally got to the point where I can run around like usual again and be myself. There was a time there when I had to crawl to the...

Nothing special but it's light and it gets me where I'm going.

hahaha I didn't know the hotel allowed gambling!

I'm still waiting for my five day-old pizza, not in the box...

hahahaha

Vegas sucks.

Oi man. I have been to hospitals so many times for that shit. I hate when they give you a bit of ativan and tell you, "good luck." It literally will kill you, kicking alcohol. Sorry about your buddy - I hate to hear that. I've seen a few go from hep c complications related to drinking and...

Thanks!! I grew up working on wooden sailboats and had a blast learning the art of restoring a wooden hull. No luck yet, but there are many places to look!

Yeah that is bullshit. Reasonable suspicion is just an excuse to fuck with somebody..

My little pit boxer always makes good money. That's why he eats like a king haha

I had a horrible time in Vegas. Are you squatting or sleeping in the tunnels?
