Bump.. NWA Northwest Arkansas. I was gonna make a new thread about Fayetteville / Springdale but this is a good one. What do you guys think of the area for those that have been there? Rogers and Bentonville included. Seems like a damn nice town to live in for cyclists too. My biggest and only...

Boots lead to trenchfoot, bad smells, and blisters, take forever to dry, and require socks to be cleaned regularly. Unless using them as a weapon or carrying a massive pack that requires ankle support over rough terrain I say leave them out. Sandals or watershoes with toes can help keep your...

Im also picky about rap, never been a big fan of aesops content or 'far out' style imo though he does have a lot of varying content. Here you can find which rappers have the largest vocabulary, maybe you will find a new artist you like: aesop rock is #1 and killah priest is #10...

Food can always be gotten by begging, dumpster diving, or other means. Money is much harder to come by. Keep that in mind because it may be a very longtime before you ever have that kind of money again. I say if you want to learn to live on the streets then hide away a few hundred for an...

T A tarp and sleeping bag is all you need. Seriously. Everything else makes it harder to walk. Thats my opinion.

Welcome to stp. There are tons of threads for you to read if you start digging searching, and reading stickies. Do you have any more specific questions? I recommend sunny places, but thats just me. My best advice is pack light. The smaller your pack the more freedom you will know.

Gotch as opposed to music about mindless self indulgence. Im with ya there. I also like songs about killing people sometimes heres a sick one:

No. These are more western natural art themed, nothing urban like graffiti. Rapid city south dakota might be another to check out and they have loads of graffiti. The midwest has its spots

Yeah i live in a town on the gila wilderness where they are doing this. What they dont tell you is for every new pup the feds bring into the wild, the state of new Mexico requires them to remove a native one from the wild. New Mexico game and fish is doing all they can to keep the wolves out of...

Ok from one poor person to another let me know if theres ever any way i can help. And again welcome to stp

Well in that case, double super welcome to STP LOL you will fit right in. I was guessing/asking from the sleeves and house picture is all

No offense but are you a rich? Just asking, not making any assumptions. Welcome to STP. Most of us are broke but I often wonder if theres any richies in here who just wanted to take a break from luxury.

XDA When I llooke it up it looks like that happened in 2013 and of course, of fucking course, someone shot it as soon as it was found. Same thing happened to a wolverine, the first in 150 years, that was tracked walking across a dozen states, I remember watching his journey, until he was shot...

Welcome to STP @QuietMouse94 I appreciate that you have a heart for animals which I think not enough people do.

Welcome, welcome hope you're here to stay. It's a good community with wide ranging knowledge and experiences of freedom from all over the world. I like your intro and I also want to say your eyes look like they have seen a lot, can't really explain it but that is a good profile picture. Glad to...

I didn't say anyone here said that. They have come close though. By the way what do you mean about music needing to be productive? And by artists promoting violence in a bad way? I am also not a fan of music that is all about sex because it runs a lot of people's lives which I find disgusting...

I grew up in KC but now live in a town of ten thousand. A town which has only ten thousand people but as many art galleries as the entire KC metro. Santa Fe a town of just sixty thousand people sells more art than all of Chicagoland. New Mexico has a lot of good towns to sell art.

All I want my whole life is a small piece of land to live on. You are very lucky. I doubt I can achieve that until I am 40 due to debt. But no you cannot hunt nomadically on a small piece of land, you may be able to survive on it though with some hunting bit it is not necessary. Look into the...

Quick story one time hitchhiking outta Sarasota the department of transportation guy drives up says YOU CANT hitchhike here, blah blah, I just said I think we will wait for someone with authority to tell us that, and we kept hitching while he called state troopers, meanwhile someone drives by...

Holy fuck man those kind of days are so discouraging and ENRAGING. Fuck hitchhiking in Arizona. My last trip through there was by motorized bicycle, and while people still wanted to see me suffer (aggro drivers) I felt much more at ease with my control of the situation and the state started to...

I agree except the part about pepper spray, bear mace has longer range and is reportedly effective, you can also use air horns, or "bear banger" firework pens. If you are familiar with area laws, guns are also good. I've never had to use any of them on animals, despite several...unnerving...

Hell yeah dude glad to finally meet someone on here that knows about Joco, they try reeeeally hard to keep that place clean and yes cops fucked with me all the time for minding my own business. Hope we can meetup sometime, I usually go there for Christmas.

I don't care for the argument that rap is destructive because we all need to do what it takes to get through life, if someone can't relate to that so be it. This is a good hip hop classic street life Killah priest is a good rapper with more positive messages And yes Pat the bunny might be...

Wa-wa-WOW I remember hearing about Y'all doing this and it's hard to believe it was a year ago already. Thank you very, much for sharing so much detail of this adventure. What a way for us to glimpse life in Mongolia. You're a talented writer and adventurist @Wawa. Filling us in on the gritty...

I did a skull and crossbones on my arm 12 years ago. Folded paperclips into the shape, held over fire until glowing orange then pressed into skin until cooled down. When my parents found out it was off to the mental hospital for a week. You can hardly make out what it is after all those years, I...

Dont give up but do take as many breaks as you nee. ,A year ago I (seemingly permanently) fucked up my wrist on a century because I didn't have drop bars and refused to listen to my crying wrist. The bones are out of place now and stick out at a shit angle. Repetitive activity can definitely...

There is nothing in America like the beautiful valley around chilliwack BC, but we have some very unique different scenery from that. In the southwest states you can roam the sunny desert valleys while being surrounded by wet mountains or in the summer stick to higher elevations where it cools...

Ok I know this is old but it's good. Lol I think I can hear you all drinking and smoking in the background. Key West boat punks are always there and down for a good time. And red snapper is still $12 per pound these days. By the way if anyone ever boats around cruise ships, those wakes can hit...

I was forcefully removed from a Richmond gas station for quietly eating an apple I had purchased. That place is indeed oppressive or was to me at least

In this context it seems to be someone whose experiences are considered less valid on this thread on the basis of their sexual orientation and gender being too majority or mainstream

Not to derail this thread, but since it's kinda old and pointless.. @AlmostAlwaysLost do you live in KC? I was the only homeless person I knew in Johnson county my whole life there, lived in shelter I built but it has since been overrun with critters. I know the Kansas side of KC like the back...

There are two ways when hitching, go through price, Utah, (my preference) or go through Laramie. Youve no reason to go to cheyenne if hitching. Either way you end up on interstate 84 pointing toward pdx

You say no one will help you, but you just have to ask, hold up a cardboard sign telling people the truth if you need money, hell I am going out to do that right now at walmart. I had no phone or internet service yesterday, no food and no money yet panhandled up to get a new phone and service...

I always felt comfortable in my ability to stand in the road trying to stop cars if I was dangerously dehydrated on a roadside, it worked well a few times even in places with only a dozen cars or less per day driving by. But you would be amazed how close you can get to passing out before someone...

Sorry for mentioning that but I am just a straightforward person. If you can't get in the shelters I think you will be safer sleeping in those sheds or find an unlocked U-Haul trailer than in the open whenever in urban areas. This shit can be tough hang in there, most of us here have been...

From checking maps it looks like the only Home Depot in your city without the storage sheds is the Home Depot on Alvernon St and Broadway, so do NOT go to that one. The Home Depot on Pantano street, the Home Depot on Irvington street, and the Home Depot on North Oracle road DO appear to have...

Do you live n Are you in Tucson? If you can, look up your nearest Home Depot store and Check on satellite images if they have the tuff sheds for sale on display in the parking lot. You can sleep in those at night somewhat safely although you should try to lock it up as i have heard horrible...

I don't know where Conway sc is or how it became my supposed location. Either my account got hacked or the website is trolling me.

Well you've got a lot of cool people on here that can offer advice for your situation. Maybe you can even find a couch. As you know it can be more dangerous for women on the street, but you will also have more resources to keep you off the street. I know they are not the most desirable, but have...

Hi welcome to STP. You say you have known the site for a while before you met those travelers? How did you find out about it? And by selling Love do you mean prostitution or are you referring to your artist work? And I agree that trains are more reliable and you generally know more what to...

Maybe he meant that he worked with mostly Mexicans and people would snoop his lunchbox, so he wrote something that translates easy for them? Not trying to start a big contradiction, I just don't think this guy was out of line with his comment. Out of curiosity do you think it's racist for me to...

That sounds very, very shitty of him, but he must be trustworthy enough that you have continued to house him up with your brother? Not a thief or violent? I could be interpreting this wrong.

Glad to hear they are being held accountable. Although they might have gotten away for a lot longer without riding the stolen car.

Maybe off topic here, but one time i was running from superstorm Sandy in pennsylvania, ended up hitchhiking all the way up to happy valley goose bay Labrador to avoid it. This was when they first completed the translabrador highway. I still got rained on but i avoided those gusts. Tropical...

First off, welcome to stp. I am sorry to hear that you are already tiring of male dominated discussions in threads about women traveling solo. Secondly, can you shed some light on the surprising sexism here? That is something that should also be reported. Your work to intercept and distribute...

Reading comprehension honey? Can you be more condescending?

I used to take short hitch trips off from work to do this, but warmer south than you, two weeks is a good amount of time that you can go as far as you want for five days, checking things out, then turn around on day 6 and hitch back. You'll probably have a couple days off left when you get back...

Why did @Sirius dislike this post? OP just gave the answer asked for? From my experience obtaining a MMJ card, yes that is standard terminology, you need a permanent in state ID in New Mexico. I am surprised you swung it without one in California. Here they are free, but the doctorusually...
