    To the tweakers scoping out my squat...

    Meth is extremely bioavailable, so good to take any kinda way. Ive met only one person that has boofed it for any reason other than the novelty, and he did not mention whether it was painful (i personally do not recommend tobacco). My guess did not come from thinking boofing meth was normal...

    To the tweakers scoping out my squat...

    I was thinkin sugar packets was slang for meth and that they were boofing it. Didnt really think there was another possible interpretation but i guess im the weird one

    Say I want to squat in Philadelphia

    Wish i was there, shoulda been in philly anyways if it wasnt for covid. What neighborhood did you wind up in? Theres an established squat on 58th in the aforementioned area, you might run into one of those people and ask for help.

    in the puget sound trying to buy a boat and learn to sail

    What I'm leaning towards now is getting one of those little ten foot sailboats to fuck around on for a month. I'm finding em for a couple hundred dollars and if, after a month, I wanna get a real boat then at least I know a little bit better how things work, and maybe I'll have met some boat...

    Yeah thats another thing, no clue what im looking for. Just figure as long as its not sinking itll maybe at least last the summer and if i break it it aint the worst thing in the world. Also another reason to go for a small boat. Cheap and easy to see if its broken. Here's what ive been looking...

    Alright, so to answer a few questions and get more specific, the boat I have is a San Juan 26 that a marina is selling because the previous owner stopped paying moorage fees. One of the reasons I like it is that moorage until july is included, so I could live on it with few problems and have...

    is anybody picking yall hitchhikers up in the plague?

    For sure. But also some of us are homeless and have no way to isolate or get to a safe place without the highways and rails. Shelters in place are not safe.

    What towns can you still cross the border w no id?

    No they didnt check id, because i dont have any. It depends on how you're travelling. I think southbound you're generally ok, but there are sometimes military checkpoints that want to make sure you have a visa, etc. Mostly they're looking for central americans, but you can certainly get caught...

    I've got a lot of problems with aa, but I'd like to make it work for me, just because anywhere you go there are meetings, and sometimes you just gotta yell at a roomful of strangers who understand the terror. I tried therapy, which I think ended up doing more harm than good. Especially...

    Sounds like you dont have any trans friends.

    Is it possible to survive in a winter wilderness shelter in -21 weather?

    I spent a winter in an uninsulated shed and it was all about coveralls, staying dry, and hand warmers. Oh and a way to heat water to drink. I always kept some in a pot since my jugs would freeze. Eating fatty foods before bed helps keep you warm while you sleep, even just some olive oil. I did...

    Washington to Alaska, Alaska to Russia

    I don't know what part of russia you'd be flying into but I think that will be the dangerous part of your trip. Kamchatka and all those eastern parts of russia are mostly controlled by the mafia. Their bears are a lot meaner and so are the people. I'd prefer mongolia any day.

    just walk across the border, they don't check your passport. Mexico is pretty safe, you'll be fine, hitching is easy, don't follow david choe, i saw that episode of that thing and he faked the train hopping, you can't do that especially in tijuana
