    Anyone Into Sailing From NC For The Summer??

    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?

    Alps OutdoorZ Commander Freighter Frame + Pack Bag

    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...

    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.

    Weirdest object you ever fucked?

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

    Foxfire Series of Survival Books (pdf)

    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...

    Would you find a "no hard drugs" sign to be discriminatory?

    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...

    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...

    Would you find a "no hard drugs" sign to be discriminatory?

    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...

    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...

    Being a Female Alone on the Road Comes With Constant Harassment

    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

    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...
