Hey dude im going to be in southeast asia this january and possibly through march

Count me in for one. And count one more vote for stp being in there somewhere. I also agree with whoever suggested more subtlety in the anarcho-alcoholic stuff

Nice and short. Loved it. As an American the eureka border sucks big time. Got interrogated there once for eight hours

Well there's a few ways you can go here. Personally I prefer something with parts that are easy to find and low maintenance, a basic 3 speed. There are even touring bikes that you can fit into a backpack, but they cost a pretty penny and aren't the most efficient for long distance peddling. As...

You're never too old to start living. Williston is a rough place, but I don't think you have to be worried about safety as long as you don't get involved in the meth, prostitution, etc. If you do decide to go there, hit me up I can give you a few pointers for how to get started in that town...

Connecticut is great. Easiest hitchhiking in the country. All my waits around there were measured in seconds. Even easier than Hawaii.

Because of California's recent exceptional drought and concerns from the South Yuba River Citizens League we ask that you please refrain from having any campfires at the river that are not in above ground stoves! Please also consider that glass bottles have no place on the South Yuba and it is...

My assumption of the "homeless problem" was the homeless and hopeless who are not leading meaningful lives and have a tortured existence. That is debatable sure. Maybe I am underestimating the power of love, but I am convinced a large portion of the homebums in phx (and elsewhere) bring it upon...

That's romantic Michael but you have got to be kidding yourself to think that all the homeless in Phoenix would eventually lead meaningful lives given enough love

None of the friends I grew up with were interested in traveling. Good thing it's easy to find partners along the way. So get out there.

You can fake having money by opening a bank account page taking a print screen of it and fudge the numbers in Microsoft paint or somethin

It can be done but there will be many, many obstacles to overcome, more than stp can tell you. I did about 50 miles on what i expected to be a very easy portion of the colorado river last march in a kayak and had to turn around halfway through because the winds were too intense to make it any...

Dude did an awesome job standing up for his rights. Getting cops to back down like this is the best feeling in the world. Even better when you get them in trouble and they are actually held accountable. Hope this officer got a nice long chat from his supervisor. I remember one time in Michigan...

good looking out man, thanks :D

Wow thanks so much for posting. I really enjoyed reading that. There are so many interesting theories here, and as you said if any one of them were true it would be mind-blowing. "An even more advanced civilization might view the entire physical world as a horribly primitive place, having long...

Is this surprising to anyone? One more reason I don't have a FB

Welcome sir. I have lived outside while working in a few different cities and it is a great way to save money. One tip I have is to get a gym membership to shower at as mostjobs require you to be clean. one trick to keep people from messing with your campsite while you're away at work is to...

Inspired from the thread further down on this page (https://squattheplanet.com/threads/homemade-sandals-cheap-and-easy.19780/), I decided to try to make some sandals out of materials i could find in every dumpster in the simplest manner possible. Here's my alternate take on that thread...

"Police may not generally search the cellphones of people they arrest..." So exceptions are allowed? I am skeptical as to whether this ruling changes anything. Cops are generally going to do whatever they want to do regardless of the legality of it and not be held accountable for their actions.

I slept outside in Williston January and February, it was brutal. My camp got ransacked and vandalized. Such a strange place. Walked out of there with a couple thousand bucks though. I'm going to work there again possibly a couple weeks from now, possibly not until September. I always worked...

Hello! Asheville by any chance?

How durable is this? Could I count on using it for a season or two without retreating as applied to a canvas rainfly or backpack?

When are you trying to start hopping?

Right on lol. I love traveling with kratom. Sometimes I get bored of talking with my rides but kratom helps me be more talkative. I know you said you are working through the summer but i hope you can make it to the gathering in california in August

Hm. A lot of quebecois love it. Personally its my most hated place in canada. Extremely hard hitching and lots of theives

What do you like about the okanagan

Of course its happening.

If you were stuck in fruita 4 days you are doing something wrong

Slept in this abandoned fire station in colorado. They leave the heat on more pics here:

I broke my rib this winter climbing up under an icy bridge to sleep out a snow storm. Slipped and it hurt to breathe for a couple weeks. You can get a plant called Kratom in place of pain pills. Its actually an opiate but perfectly legal because most people don't know it exists. It really helps...

Hemp yoga pants are great for that and very durable. Prana makes some but they are $70. You could probably find some cheaper

That's super freaking cool man. Careful about mice and fleas. I lived in a structure I built in kansas with a pallet floor like that and got overran by deer mice.

You are correct. It is illegal in utah but i have been offered rides by cops there and they say it's never enforced. You only have to worry about that in Idaho and Kansas.

Glad you got out. ive hitched outta vegas a couple times and the cops didn't bother me although it is technically illegal in Nevada

I have hItched from there many many times without problems even with two dudes. im still trying to figure out why it isn't working for you. ..

In the future turn down rides to fruita and stay on the western side of grand junction by the truck stop

Ive never been stuck that long in fruita. I just hitched out of grand junction area 3 Times in the past month. Try hitching from on i70 itself. That's what we had to do there since the waits were long. the cops didn't care that we were standing on the highway. Humor signs don't work well...

El paso is a great city in a sea of terrible southwest cities. Colorado is a travelers paradise if you can handle cold. Have fun.

I have been doing this three years I know what I'm doing and i have had plenty of cashless adventures but that's not what i asked. I just thought someone might know of some places since this is the fourth largest metro in the country and i will be here a couple days. Sorry if that was wrong in...

Ok no I was asking for places to panhandle not criticism. Ill throw you guys a bone: Denton and flower mound are good places. Anyone have more?

Im going to be in the Dallas metro area for a few days trying to make some traveling money. Anyone know if some good places to try? I have a couple spots north of fort worth that i like but other than that im open to any suggestions

Just follow the directions and look at the map Ephemeral Stick. I dont know what rock creek is.

alright i might be able to meet up ill let you know

im actually meeting up with a friend along i40 probably around amarillo then we are headed up to colorado then ill probably head south again. where you going?

savannah is a neat town and tallulah gorge is beautiful. i got picked up by aimee copeland on the tallulah gorge bridge last year. only time i've ever been picked up by someone famous. look i'm not going to lie, there is not a lot going on in georgia. if you are white stay out of albany.

I added a section for workshops if anyone has any input. http://hitchwiki.org/en/2014_North_American_Hitchgathering#Workshops It's not quite a workshop, but the nevada city library has a 3d printing machine, as far as I know one of the first places in the country to have one for public access...

the hitchhiking gets old here its true, but i dont like sitting in one place more than a couple days and just havent gotten into freight yet

Alright lets plan on it then. Hell yea! 99% of the time there are fire bans there especially since they had a drought this year, but i can take care of the permits for camping stove fires and we need to be semi discreet in the canyon itself at night.

That's pretty crazy. Niether google maps satellite view nor any of the street views show anything there anymore. One old satellite view shows 5 or 6 tents on the other side of the creek from what is shown in this story, but when you zoom in they all disappear. Street view shows the area is...
