No stealing, the article is meant to inspire others to do the same or improve the design. I did this one about a year ago, now im doing something similar but smaller and more lightweight (as well as multifuncion). Something I've learnd in the process of making my new design, is that the pizza...

I have written an article about a Lavvu (Tipi) I made and how its done. Its a centerpole version, weights less than 2kg and its very compact for traveling. Its also tall and wide, many people fit in and you can stand inside. Not even mention you can have a fire for cooking, heating, relaxing...

even the viking poncho stuff? dammmn we are all conected!

Actually, a sheepskin is what i mean I had tried. Its really a good thing to have if you can get yourself one. Its true that if they get wet they suck (all the water) but if you can spend a few cents on Lanolin (the oil that sheeps secrete trough their skin) and soak your wool on it (its a...

It all depends on how much it compresses when you are on top of it. The idea of a pad is that air gets trapped between air pockets and retains heat. I used a felted wool carpet for a while and it was awesome, but heavy as hell as it took lots of wool to make a nice mattress. I'd say, dont...

There's groups doing this already, you might wanna join them for a bigger effect. I even read an article on the guardian about them.

Dont worry, I am not intending to drama with you, and I misunderstood as if you said the whole deal was being properly handled by huckstah. Anyways, I still disagree with (at least) that thread being deleted, there was nothing wrong with it except that this guy's feelings got hurt as he...

Could you read the OP? I think you haven't and you are kinda stuck in something. There I give examples of threads being deleted that have nothing to do with asking questions about things that are in the sidebar of the website or the kind of stuff you are revering to. This guy is basically...

Thanks! I like this place, and regardless of this or other situations in similar sites I have decided that my cents are worth and appreciated in here, so here I am. I just feel a bit bad to rant so much about this. But if there is any reason why I bring this here is because I think its...

Fuck this guy, he is such an ass hole. I wrote him a private message telling him that im no troll / throwaway account as he described me in order to ban me and delete posts and comments, to do so, I invited him to check this post to confirm its me under this account and see that im an active...

by the way, I have just been banned from r/vagabond, truly amazing. I think a point has been made here. you've been banned from /r/vagabond --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- subreddit message via /r/vagabond[M] sent 1 day ago you have been...

I want to make it clear that I am not implying there is censorship in here, but i think its great to have some sort of confirmation or discussion about what iamwhatiam says, I dont think you get the point of what im saying. Its not about people asking about freight hopping, its about people...

I imagine that some people who check this place also check www.reddit.com/r/vagabond. I have been around there for a while, didn't had a user until a few days ago. I thought it was a good place to comment every now and then so I created one. I had read that people complained a lot about the...

happens all the time,that's why hitchhiking is my favorite option, there's no timetables ;)

Great story, but most importantly, very well told! I'd say you should grab whatever story you have and keep on writing them down (unless that's what you already do!)

that dude sure looks like an ass-hole

go to la caleta in tenerife, that's like the hippie's paradise, Rainbow gatherings happening all the time around there. lots of people living in huts and caves, dumpstering and wild edibles all around, right at the beach. If you go to La Palma Island let me know, I lived there for over a year...

I was planning to do that as soon as I would get this reflective material. I thought of what you say and also that I don't like this slippery feeling under my feet. I was planning to put it at the bottom and my normal soul on top, solving both problems.

This photo-documentary can be found at Interkulturel Museum in Oslo city starting January 23rd. The exhibition lasts 3 weeks and contains the work of other people as well. Its also published in my website www.bonsai.cf. With this photo documentary, I intend to show how alternative places and...

by the way, I initially thought you where talking about Megabus europe, then I got dissapointed when I read Chicago, now I searched a bit and turns out megabus is an international companie. So there's a great reason to fuck them over and for you to PM me with more info :)

Simple, create a phony website that resembles their original one and if you get caught say you bought it there. if you prefer to make it uncomplicated, just make it so that when you want to buy a ticket online, an error message pops up saying their online reservation system is down, and that you...

The catch is that once it hits you, both things are impossible to do. You can get in the habit of making exercise and meditate, but I guess it will get very difficult to do some sport as it goes colder and darker, maybe meditation can still be done if you got the habit of doing so.

I come from a place where there isn't such thing as a serious winter, so being in northern Europe, specially in Scandinavia for whole winters made me think that I got some serious physical and mental disease or something like that. I had it really hard the first winters, but this one is the...

I wouldst know where to start! If you are coming from the states by plane, take a flight from NYC to Oslo, Norway. We get lots of banjo people here every summer since its the cheapest flight connection (around 150 dollars and can get cheaper). Oslo has a somewhat nice Alternative scene that you...

wow, this person filled all the boxes of idiocy. What yo are looking for are HIPSTER clothes, because clearly you are a HIPster. Second, I have seen people bringing the "white privileged male etc etc" card in very weird ways before, but your way was completely stunning. go, go save the...

I have been thinking so much about those backpacks! in Norway its insane how all of a sudden everybody threw away their backpacks (im in their trash constantly) and then massive ammounts of fjallraven kanken's showed up! thei are the most basic and serialized shit around, how was it marketed so...

Hello everybody, Recently I posted a DIY backpack project (Linyera Backpack Project) and been traveling around with it successfully. Now im stayin for long in Oslo and decided to make a new version with what I have learned. Considering that I got now a sewing machine and loads of recycled...

Germany is probably the fastest hh place on west europe, nederlands probably second. Denmark is fine, but prepare because its cold already up here. I would suggest you to stick to petrol stations on highways if you are in a hurry to get somewhere or you are getting stuck too much on secondary...

Well, the bag costed nothing, its just a hand bag with the straps from a military backpack attached as described, both things found while dumpstering. you could buy and make it yourself but then it would loose the charm. Just look around, there are thousands of those bags being disposed. About...

glad you like it. I was born in south america, but now im a bit from everywhere :)

ahh ok. I think the problem here is that you dont know the definition of a squat. verb (used without object), squatted or squat, squatting to settle on or occupy property, especially otherwise unoccupied property, without any title, right, or payment of rent. So, what you want is to buy an...

buying a squat? seriously? why would you ever give money for that? I mean, just squat, its the same you want to do except its cheaper.

In winter time, your dog will be more than your best friend, if you have enough space inside your sleeping bag for both of you it will be like sleeping hugging a radiator :)

Funny, Germany has one of the most censored internets.

While I consider this theory to be very interesting and probable, I´m very disturbed by the title of this post. There is no such thing as proof of anything said there, there´s not even a claim from the people involved in such a theory that it has been proved somehow. While Quantum mechanics /...

you are not the first one coming down here and thinking we are all loosers desperate for strangers to save our pointless lifes.

Check out more stuff by this guy, he is called Paul Elkins, I came across his videos several times on several different ideas I´ve been investigating, he seems like a genius to me.

learn juggling and go to traffic lights to get your money. No boss, no timetables, lots of money.

I once managed to find a hidden sauna in the one from south sweden to germany, it was an awesome ride. It was in the bottom floor, in a place that looked more like a machinist area than public place.

Well, Roma gypsies are more of a concentrated group in the northern / eastern countries, Spain has a beautiful mix of gypsies of anykind (mostly from northern africa) including Roma people. The caves where digged and built by gypsies initially, so in a way they have something to hold on. Still...

I understand, anyways is not the mixing as done in the article that actually bothers me, I should have explained myself better. The sacromonte valley is actually quite big, and there are many different valleys with hundreds of caves, and while there are some quite mixed people on some of them...

I have to correct the article by saying that none of the people mentioned or pictured there are actual Gypsies. While I dont mean that all gypsies are hard to manage, by experience and knowing that place, I would say that this person hasnt come in contact with the actual gypsies living there...

lets jail most writers, movie makers, readers and movie viewers, etc then. Its just how you put it in or out that seems to freak people out.

Linyera Project is a series of Do It Yourself projects that I have started with the aim of replacing all my equipment. I make an effort to keep things simple, durable, lightweight and easy to replicate for anyone who would like something similar. The original post comes from a website where I...

So far I get the impression that rainbow gatherings in the US are way different than in Europe, in a very positive way. Somehow in Europe, rainbows have been turned into an exclusively trippy-hippie event, to which a crust or anything that is not colorful and super mystical would never even...

Something I noticed while switching to city life after a while of living on nature is how little dirty you get on nature compared to city life. Also, if you avoid crap food (not gonna expand on that now) even your sweat will smell good! Please don't use ANY kind of soap while on a river, lake...

Most people on this forum will swear to goat that money shouldn't be a problem if you run away. I'm away so I'm of no help, anyways don't trust just one person, maybe you can meet up with a group of travelers from STP and change your life. Traveling on a nice pack works against anything ☺

Hi! Im located in some far away island from some european country, soon enough I will be hitting mainland again and will try again on train hopping there. I tried around Finland but couldnt find rideable cars (mostly wood transport there) and when I found one, the train never left... I will try...
