Well,I might as well stick my nose in this one.As ya'll know,I've been off the road except for short trips for quite a while,but the one thing that I can say that still is the absolute truth is that we have it pretty damned good here.We have a choice,even if limited by the beurocacy that is...

That has got to be the finest title that I have read in a long time,anywhere!Best advice I can give is read the forums,ask questions,and follow your gut,kid.May you ride far and see many wonders!

Okay,you're right,pretty damned gross.Get a couple of pair of clown size pants,(all cotton,and at least 6" bigger in the waist than your regular size,lightweight summer weave)and a belt or suspenders.Go wash your junk and the affected areas with a mildly astringent soap and water(citrus...

Hi foks,I made a mistake on one part of the info I gave crumb.The name of the thrift store is Good Samaritan,not love of jesus.Went by today,and they are putting out the winter stuff,and wensday is buy one get one free!Just watch out for the Menonite ladies,they shop there,especially on...

And now for something from the Ancient of Days........... Can you turn your back on everything familiar and reach out to the strange?You're a punk. Does your heart race when you hear your favorite song?You're a punk. When you win,do you remember your friends,as they remember you when you...

Atilla.,it does bring that kind of money,but you got to know your area and beware of "pirates"(people picking the area you found).Iamwhatim,very true on the overharvesting,thats the reason I don't show folks how to find 'sang.Use common sense and approach it as if you were hunting or logging...

What a curious question.I've always found it much harder to figure out how to divide my time while out on the road than to find something to do.

Trick to it is to fiure out the prime groing/fruiting season.Here in Va.sold blackberries this summer($4.50 a pint!) in July,no-one likes picking e 'em.Pawpaws are at the tail end of there season,but at a couple of old style markets they go for $1.50 a pound.Local gardeners grow herb PATCHES in...

Howdy,Sprout!If you are ever out east,drop a note.New to the net thing also,and also in the smaller target status as well(5'6" without boots,we are everywhere,and we arn't noticed,bwahahaha!).What did you think of Memphis?

howdy,ring!Sounds like you are going to find a lot of folks that you have been looking for right here.Keep up with reading the posts,ask questions,and keep up with learning about being out in the bush(wilderness squatting).Got a question for you:ever been to LaCross?And if so,is the Heidlman's...

Best one I ever made: " North and West" "Scintilating Conversation" "Valid Licence" "NOT A PERV" (unless asked nicely) Picked up a 1200 miler in less than 30 min. off that one.

Suit,tie,slicked down hair,clipboard and a badge that says"Census Taker"

Whoops!Sorry about that ,Widerstand.I do tend to soapbox and flog dead horses.

Portland,Alfred,Bar Harbor,and Norway.Wickedgood sorta place!

Howdy!Lived up there in Maine for a couple of years,and still know some nice folks up thataway.Even been to Meddybemps!Anyway,welcome to the site,and would suggest bthat you read the forums and don't be afraid to ask questions.None of us start knowing anything,and this is a dmned good place to...

Seems like a lot of folks are traveling with dogs,so I'd like to put up a few little tips that can make it work a little better,and maybe save you a big heartache. Whatever breed you travel with,make sure you have the PAPER records of shots and licence. Take the time every day to...

Hartage,you have definatly got the idea on improving the system! LovelyAcrorns,you have definatly got a good app for the current system! This is what I love about finding out that there are still strange and interesting people in the world:they don't think some of my ideas,or the...

Beware the clip-on bike motor!Have had to rebuid a dozen this summer(when I could find the parts for the poor orphan things),and can say that unless you can practicallly carry a spare motor,somewhere out there the heartless bitch shall leave you wondering how far it is to the next bus stop!

Yep,delivery can be tricky.Do give a try to the "baitcast" technique.The big trick is that it really is exactly like fishing.One aid to targeting is to lay your pointer finger along the tube and where the finger points when the condom leaves the tube is where the point of impact will be.Sort of...

Best delivery system I've found thus far is to pour a thinned out (use the grain alcohol I said not to drink)mix 50/50 into a condom,and daintily tie it off.goes SPLAT and spreads well,althoug there is the chance of breakage.You can slip the loaded condom onto a piece of PVC pipe with a cap...

That expains the stains on that shed that I put in for my neighbor.............

Just found out that both Project Gutenburg amd the University of Penn. have put George Washington Sears book "Woodcraft" online.For those of you unfamiliar with this book,Sears was an old time woodsrunner that wrote for the leading hunting and fishing magazines of the late 1800's.His...

WAY too good an idea,Bote!....so sad but so funny,Barbie throws a fit over buying into the belief that she can see justice for her own bad judgement by shouting long enough.....first time I saw it was waiting for her to get up and stamp her feet!

used to use an old milspec hammock,and while it is a damned fine thing to keep leeches,spiders,and the occasional snake out of your bedroll,the things have to be dried dead dry befor you roll em up or you start to think you're sleeping in a mushroom from the smell.

Whoops,forgot...the last time I tried this in a situation with "bears",like the ones that will be in Pittsburg in the middle of next month,causing trouble for folks exercising there right to assembly,the finished product took the "bears" minds off everything but getting it washed off.

Love it,Hartage!Thats the best modification opf this recipe I've ever seen,and yes it will probably increase the quality.Bushmills and beer on me whenever we meet!

Hey thirty',give me a yell.Can volunteer,and would be good to meet other folks in the area.

Probably somthing I did.Try googling Debtor's Revolt.got a couple under my belt,and think I may laugh.

I din't know whether to laugh my ass off or fall down weeping and wailing. debtorsrevoltnow.com www.youtube.com/watch?v=GC1mCS40Vo

Howdy!Sorry you're stuck in St.Auggi(we used to call it god's waiting room!)but you sound like you will survive and get out.Don't be afraid to ask questions,lot of good folks here,and read the forums;lots of good info. And just remember that its all true:god is an astronaut,Oz really is...

Decided that this would be a good place to post this old recipie.Works incredibly well,so be extra careful. the idea behind most repellants that use capsicum as the primary active ingredient is valid,but unfortunatly unless you are in the military,or a member of the law enforcement...

And watch out for that ICE,gives ya the runs after about a 6!Howdy right back atcha from RVA!

Saw this thread churn its way to the surface,and decided to throw my two cents in(I know,here he goes again). The sum of human history has always been for the establishment of some form of order.The forms that it takes vary from basic co-operation to totalitarianism.At this point in the...

........Naw,this place doesn't exist(........remember last night,falling asleep after all that booze and eating that one questionable piece of mushroom pizza?the pizza was a bit off........).But as long as your'e here,enjoy!

Okay,folks,just spotted this post being read by a guest(who ever you are,Bushmills and beer on me),and would like to put out a request for info,any and all,on the swapmeet.Give me your good,your bad,and your ugly,I want it all!PULEEEZZZE!!!!!!!!! If ever there was a place to pull into with a...

Anybody in the RVA area the weekend of oct.9-11,take a few and check this one out.Several live stages,all the shows are free,some really good crafts people,doing demos,and also doing hands on if you want to learn something.Lot of classic blues,country,etc in the music venues.Located behind the...

RE:natureA+! RE:PEOPLE:"whatdiya expect,its the waiting room of the gods!"qoute from John Manly Short,long gone on the Westbound. Hope that you get out soon!Welcome to the monkeyhouse.

Howdy!Seek your own vision in the arts,ride safe and long,and ask MANY questions.Noneof us began as we are,and to help a stranger is the highest calling.

Beyond The Sun,thank you.You have no idea how much your post has helped out with a sticky situation in this area (RVA).Anywhere,anytime,I owe you one for posting the link you did here. Lee Byiers

Really don't care what they do,but would love if they would hold a party(massivly Irish style wake,think the Pouges on Virginia moonshine),tell great lies about me,maybe a couple of truths,and have a New Orleans style band "play me out",with appropriate wailing from former lovers,and then play...

Howdy,love the dog,take good care of the little guy,enjoy the ride.

Couple of quick ones,Hassysmacker.First,if you get up there right now,got about two months before it gets bitchin cold.Next,Oldtown is pretty much a tourist trap,but fair spang territory.Couple of good non-chain coffee shops,co-ops.Work is a bit scarce(typical Maine economy)by what a bfriend...

"Well,can you skin trackrabbit,son?"Welcome,and hope you enjoy the ride.

Would suggest that you pack a small single shot shotgun(20 ga. would do nicely),as you will probably get more shots at small game than large.Also,its a bit wasteful to shoot big game when you lack the means or time to process out the total carcass.As to the rifle,just remember Capstick,and would...

Earlier this year when H1N1 popped up,I decided to take the roll of the dice.Wound up catching the damned thing,felt like malaria.Took me down for about a week.Now that I have the antigens,feel pretty safe. Decided to take a look at the vidieo,and got to admit that it does sound like tinfoil...

Now this may offend,but there is a way to get a set of ivory plates for the neck if you want the smoothest fingerboard after sanding ever.Keep an eye out for dumpstered pianos.Folks regularly put them out in this area,and if you get to them before the rain,look at the ends of the keyboard...

Howdy!Traveled with a cat in the '70s,so its possible.As Arrow said,ask questions,learn,and get ready for a helluva ride.

"The Female Man",Russ;"100 Years of Solitude",Marquez;"The Stars my Destination", Bestler.

Stewart,unless you know how the racoon died,would leave it alone.East Coast raccoons are the major rabies vector in my area,and I wouldn't touch one unless I observed it and then killed it myself.

Watch out for the bamboo,some subspeices cause one hell of an allergic reaction.Also,make sure to get rid of all the soft-looking papery outer skin,will grind in to skin like glass.Leather dye will work for coloring,but put about 3 layers of nailpolish over them ,most dyes are toxic.
