Wow, I missed that one. ROASTED

Yeah, which has nothing to do with how they dress and everything to do with how men are trash. Nudity (or revealing clothing etc) is not inherently sexual. The problem is not how women dress. The problem is men treating women like objects. The problem is rape culture. The problem is patriarchy.

wow, a man posts some victim blaming bullshit while simultaneously claiming it's not victim-blaming. You can fuck right off

also, VW's are a big red flag for cops cause all the hippies want them. Definitely I'd recommend a cargo van. I helped a buddy build his van out of a conversion van and I think it would have been way easier to start from the blank slate of a cargo van. Plus, Hitler invented VW; do you really...

prolly the thread in shady/untrustworthy people. All of that made me kind of uncomfortable tbh.

I feel this. It's so much harder to hold a job and deal with the bullshit when you've tasted real freedom. I find myself going from shitty temp job to shitty temp job just scraping by and selling the best years of my life away. Fuck this capitalist bullshit, fuck this wage slavery. It's time for...

I have always just put mine in a trash bag and left it in bushes. Once my road dog got arrested and I stashed his pack for like 10+ days this way

Congrats on coming out and on your plans to remove yourself from a toxic situation! Stay safe and have fun!

I'd say Guiness, but they won't get rid of their isinglas :*(

TFW someone with relevant life experience has advice but they get ignored and nay-sayed by everyone because misogyny. My only advice would be to avoid cis dudes. Men are trash (and not the good edible kind; definitely the scum at the bottom kind)

Idk, this article largely lines up with my traveling experiences; most travelers that I've met aren't doing anything revolutionary, they're just surviving. Which is fine, and good for them for not taking their boss's shit anymore, but becoming an ex-worker isn't about freeing up our schedules to...

I mean, I think your best bet might just be to have rain gear. I used the Sea to Summit Poncho tarp. It's got enough room to put it on over your pack; probably not the greatest for places with prolonged heavy rain though. A rain suit and pack cover would be better in that case. If you use...

to be honest dude, hitching is dead simple. Just look like someone people would put in their car, have a thumb, and be willing to wait. It's also easier to hitch alone than it is in a group. Hitching in Florida is pretty hard though, I only got two rides from Jacksonville to Pensacola and one...

As another Ohio native, I can say this is 100% true. You must feel the Ohio misery!

Good luck man, the only advice I have is to go sonewhere you've never been before. My next trip will be to the west coast.

Hey there comrade! Welcome! If you're ever in Ohio let me know. I know some really awesome queer anarcho punk kids in NE Ohio! I could point you in the direction of a free show or something!

Well, that makes sense. Could be a good option for some folks

$2 a day * 30 days in a month= $60/month, so I'm confused as to how $100 means you're good for a year? I spend about $30 every two months on my tracfone (and I could probably spend less than that if I needed to but I'm housed up and working, so fuck it)

Side note, I'm not a huge fan of ALICE packs. They are pretty durable, but, for me, the good points end there. Give me an internal frame pack any day of the week. Some people like them, but if you end up walking any kind of distance, your back probably won't. There are some mods that make them...

Yo, that's rad! Welcome! I have a hippie disguise, does that count for anything?

Well, I wish you luck! I'm gonna be headed west eventually to hopefully find somewhere with more folks like myself, so I understand that. If you come through southern OH feel free to hit me up.

Hell yeah dude, awesome!

Yo dude, good luck and safe travels and welcome!

No, YOURE Gwendolynnn! (And IM drunk, yay me!)

Idk, I had a bright red yuppie pack for my trip and never had any problems. I would imagine that big old grease spot is probably enough to let people know you're broke and not worth robbing. You could always just rub MORE train grease on there if you were really worried about it though?

Hey welcome! I'm not sure if you're looking to travel or if you are just looking for a good place to squat. Either way, I wish you luck, but as long as you accept that you're just not gonna be able to ever own your squat through squater's law, you can squat most places pretty easily. I...

I think you hit it on the head. Just get a pack together and get out there, you'll be fine!

Hey, honestly, it's really not as hard as you'd think. im 26 and I finished my first trip last year. There were some hard times, sure, but trust me, it's not hard to stay alive. If you take a sleeping bag and a shelter, then you only really have to worry about food and staying away from...

See, you gotta watch out for those "nice guys." Stick to the scoundrels!

Do they know you plan to leave? I think it's good to tell them ahead of time. Then, just say goodbye the last time you see them. Give them a call once a week or so if you can and at least let them know you're alive. Even if your relationship is rocky, they'll appreciate that. Be prepared for...

Welcome dude! I second the whole don't let people know you have money thing. Also, I'll say that on the road, money wasn't really super necessary for me. IMHO, that money is probably better sitting in a bank account so that once you are ready to settle somewhere, you have a little start up...

Yeah, I don't think anyone is gonna be willing to kickdown to someone with a laptop. Seems like a bad idea to me

It seems to me that you might be more comfortable just throwing some camping gear in your trunk and sleeping outside. For me personally, I'd MUCH rather sleep in a tent with my sleeping bag than sleep all cramped up in a car

Liberationmoves, I'm not exactly sure what you mean by your reply, but your tone makes me think you might have misunderstood my post. I would consider myself part of the extreme left (I'm an anarchist). I don't know about plutocracy, but it's certainly an oligarchy. I wouldn't juxtapose...

I got an email about this a while back. Their "demands" or what have you are designed to fail and create no actual change. More of a "let's make the extreme left feel like they're doing something so they don't actually do something!" kind of deal.

Yo dude, I'm a bit south of you housed up and working. If you need any gear and think you can make it down here, I'll give you a hot meal (warning: hot meal will be vegan) and any gear I have and don't need in the near future. (Planning on replacing some things before my next trip anyway)

I don't carry any weapons at all. Just stay away from sketchy people and you'll be fine. Course, I'm also a pretty large male, so, ymmv, but I feel like if I'm armed I'm more likely to be involved in violence than if I'm unarmed.

Update, I finished my trip in November. It was rad and definitely one of he bear experiences of my life. Oh, also, I remained vegan the entire trip. Well, except for once my road dawg gave me some bread he thought was vegan, but after eating it I think it probably had egg in it. I don't count...

I've been in the fuckbox with a suspended license for a while now and let me tell you, it's not worth it. You get pulled over once and you're pretty fucked. As much as I hate the state, if you're gonna rubber tramp, I'd say get your license. It's a lot less headache. In my case, one tiny...

Listen to your heart and to what god/the universe/whatever is telling you. My experience is that nothing good can happen when you're on the wrong path in your life. Be brave and go for it!

I'm pretty partial to my Merrels. Occasionally they can have some qc issues, but they'll send you a new pair with no hassle at all.

sweet man, please do!

I used to do security at JFS here in Ohio and the safelink guy that came around seemed pretty legit. You don't get many minutes/texts for free, but it's something. I know all the homebums were always telling me they didn't have any minutes left on their "obama phone" when they came in to use...

I looked into this kind of housing, but in the long term, this thing would DEFINITELY have water issues. If you want to build below grade, I think WOFATI is the way to go. Straw and plaster is pretty common in places up here in Ohio and it's pretty god damn wet. You just need a good "hat and...

so, no shit, there I was: I've been staying with my Dad in this shithole town (Alliance, OH) and working a shit job to pay off some fines for driving under suspension (which is a whole 'nother can of bullshit). Anyway, point is I ride my bike everywhere. So, I'm headed down to the grocery store...

for when you meet people: Hey dude, what's your name? Just call me "help! that man stole my purse!" Everyone else does Why do anarchists only drink green tea? cause proper tea is theft! hey, I've got a knock knock joke, but I need you to start it okay, knock knock who's there? ... *doge face*

Awesome dude! Thanks for the tip!

As we used to say at one of my old jobs, "safety first, safety always here at the factory of sadness!" Hahaha! I'll do my best man, and thanks for the warm welcome!

Improvising I suppose? I'd like to ride a train at least part of the way, but I've heard mixed things. Some folks seem to say get the hell out there and do it, others seem to think you should find someone to show you the ropes. Other than that I'm hitching and walking

Thanks! I almost always do!
