i think u forget to mention that u need to distinguish from hippies who are mature and dont walk around with the dreads and the hemo tye dye skirts and t shirts. wavin peace fingers and skip hoppin down the freeway. then theres the ones like myself who understand u cant change the world without...

but then she sits there and says shes gonna go hitchin with me or rvn after the beet harvest if that ends up being real good. i wont leave is wha ti tell my self, but my heart feels otherwise sometimes. i dunno anymore.

and as i was saying im not running from a responsibility, as many old conservatives and folk like that put it, im running from what someone else has preplanned for me to be my responsibilities, and in other words, someone elses preplanned life. meaningi cant be me. i cant be me. the point of my...

seriously people especially my woman really dont get me when it comes to feelings, emotions, etc. yea yea im a guy but im a freedom lovin hippy who wanders around in the country. the city aint my thing. people here are dicks and are all like government lovin fools. fuckin hate that shit...

ha i cant remember the exact name but i know ive talked to many other people about this in person. the beet harvest. i keep saying festival because it reminds me of like a full moon festival from harvest moon, which is a video game series, or like the midwinter moon harvest out of some...

agreed. if im haulin ass and pushin my limits i can do 30-35..maybe pushin 38 miles in a day. im talked 16 hours minimum, depending on terrain. at least the first day or 3 i can do about 25 to 30 but after that i drop back down to 20 minimum. weather is also a factor. but 200+ miles in a week...

on I40 goin west out of amarillo, a few miles out there is some sort of knock off carhenge. theres also a mysterious sign off one of the exits to bumbfuck egypt that reads "Bates motel" . hitchcock ppl. yea. cool shit.,

it was because of this man, that i discovered digihitch, which led me to become a hitchhiker, and shake off the ways of the world. if it wasnt for him, I wouldnt be who I am now. much love. R.I.P.

same dude. my heart goes out to you. i recently was left by my beloved for a short while, and despite what people say about being a man, i never cried so hard and for so long. full-on bawling without a care in the world what anyone who saw might think, bc know body could know the pain i was...

Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay Books and Dice USED to be what I would carry around. If I end up leaving this lady of mine to seek out my old life , call me crazy (but hey thats the point of the thread right?) but im gonna ask for a lock of hair. If i dont get that then itll be the rpg books lol...

I carry a 3 1/2" fixed pocket knife. When it comes down to it, any "cutting edge" or "fine point" object will do damage when it comes into contact with human skin. even the most dull edged knife can make a great shank. But instead of just carrying any old pocket knife, I make sure its NOT...

honestly, go single. all the trouble ive been putting up with now for 4 months bc of this city girl, i wouldnt have had to deal with if i never had initiated the relationship. to any1 that wants someone in their life, trust the ones that have already been there, 90% of the time all that awaits...

avoid dating is good. the only reason i am with who i am now is cuz i stumbled into their house a few months back lookin to get high. shit happened and shit happened. now im faced with the decision of leaving her behind (which i will if she dont wanna come with) when spring comes cuz shes a...

Im planning on buying a winnebago lesharo if i can find one for under 3000$. dc if its a piece of crap, that can all be changed. :P

I started traveling for many a reason. When I got out of the airforce, I left with a lasting impression on me by the airforce that didnt help my view of the world change much. Before I went into the airforce, i was more or less pissed off at "the world" or "people" in general. I didnt really...

to newton, ks. like 30 miles north of wichita.

awesome. well happy belated welcome

yea always store wood. shit if u have to put soem dry wood down u rpant legs or something the night before. its better to be uncomfortable then to be freezing in the rain starving cuz u cant cook ur food. if u cant find any dry wood, find some cedar trees. red cedar wood and branches work great...

So, I figured Id post up on my "travels" as of late. If you can call them that. I havent been moving around so much as gradually shifting to different parts of the Wichita and surrounding metro/suburban areas. Pretty much a homeless bum. Around the beginning of September I got a job at this...

all u need is a fire and a tin can to cook it in. hell even an empty pop can works. just make sure u get the instant kind cuz waiting on rice for 40 mins to cook is almos tnot even worth it.

use the leaves from red cedar trees, or pretty much any cedar trees. crush em up and rub them all over u. ull smell nice and piney for a few hours. i use it to get that weed smell off my hands.

im letting u know froma guy that survives off a mainly white rice, 10 pounds is WAY TOO MUCH. 3-5 pounds is enough. make sure u pack it well too, bc its annoying when all ur shit is sitting in a bunch of white rice in the bottom of ur bag. also at least bring some salt and pepper, cuz saying ur...

when i die, id like it to be alone. id like it to be left in the woods alone, stripped of all clothing so i can return to the earth leaving no trace of mankinds modern world. decomposition id prefer, but if i get eaten by animals, thats alright too. i wont care cuz ill be dead.

if u wanna stay warm layer up like this. First layer from skin being 1. 1. longjohns/thermal wear 2. heavysweatpants for lower body/heavy sweater upper boddy 3. 3-4 pairs thermal long socks (wool is the best). pair of pants lower body. goose down jacket upper body (optional) 4. insulated...

Hey i have actually. Theres alot of good places to do it. I love the flint hills though, very good area to camp in. I did it for a few weeks earlier this year during the summer. It wasnt bad. Theres alot of cool ghost towns and stuff to camp in as well. darkkansas.com is a great place to find...

trash bag stuffed with newspaper.

I dont mind temps in the 30s or 40s, but anything below 30 starts to bother me. But only if its like that continuously. If every 3 days is 20 degrees, then the next 3 its 30s or 40s, ill stick around. But if its like 20 degrees continously for a month ill leave, but i wont head to someplace...

thats what i do the most of. just walk. especially in the backwoods, cuz no ones gonna pick you up anyways. just walking places is the best. no plan watsover, no people helpin u out, just walking. u get quite a sense of accomplishment after walking across a state in a week.

just avoid people. look i know everyone tells you to head to the PNW forests and stuff, but thats considered pro-wilderness survivor. u needa start out something much more basic. i recommend the midwest. especially KS, OK, NE, MO, etc. we have lots of forest areas that arent as majestic as those...

nice pics. yea washington is a place i needa head up to still. 1.5 hrs from seattle is still a lil 2 close though imo.

hitching at night is normally just stupid and north worth the effort. i stood outside the flying J on the west side of amarillo from like 10pm-1am in multiple locations once , and every looked at me like some freak. "normal" ppl generally wont pick u up at night, and "strange" people will...

daaaamnnnn do i know what ur talking about....

I couldnt really think of a better forum to put this in but Im curious as to why everyone here on STP does what they do, as in why do you hop trains, why do you hitchhike, why do you squat in urban area, or wilderness areas......its really been bugging me.I mean i know theres pry like a million...

Like uncivilize said, you need alot of acreage to truly live off the land. in my own experiences, which are not so much living as surviving, find a woody area in the countryside, in a rural area if possible. It might be a good idea to have a gas station somewhere close by, close as in like...

I live in wichita, KS, and whiles its not washington or northern california, we do have a small community of tree lovers living in one of the parks here. Theres 2 "camps", both hidden in the trees. Theyre about 50 ft from each other. about a quarter a mile away to the north is another "camp"...

Any kind of flying dog is pretty good imo, but the best is OLD SCRATCH AMBER LAGER, but flying dog is still hard to find in lots of places ive been to, they usually only carry em in the bigger more "modern" liquor stores.

sweet, ill be heading up to new england when fall comes, so Im gonna have to hit this area up and see how it goes. :D

So I know theres a topic below about slowest hitching, but what about hitching/walking roads with virtually no cars, people, animals, etc? I ask because im heavily into walking down the loneliest roads on earth, dead, rural, etc, i love em. I bring a few to the table today. 1. Route 49...

I find sunflower plants work well. The leaves are normally pretty massive 6 -12 inches, and since its a weedy plant, where one sunflower plant is, many more are sure to be found. they work well for roofing material.

Hmmmm thats a hard one. Prolly my smokeless tobbaco. I get incredibly pissed eventually...when I dont have any.

30 miles a day is pushing it for most ppl ive met, hell even for people who dont do this kinda shit. u have to take into account as well pack size, terrain, weather, etc. all that shit can make someone whos slow go fast and vice versa.

id sell them on craigslist. bring the smaller instruments. i dunno. it sound slike a big hassle and what not, id sel them, tak ethe cash, and buy new ones in the future ifu decide u just can tlive without them.

WHen i was las tin iowa, I walked all the ways from Ames, east to Nevada, to Colo, to State Center. Then I stayed the night in the park bathroom at state center, then the next day I walked south to route 30, then south again to state highway 254, then west to Rhodes, the west to Collins, then...

hmm.....that never happens......ive been to my fair share of raves stateside and european, as well as in japan, and ive never heard of this before happening. maybe ppl get their shit stolen or sold bunk stuff, or maybe a drive by shooting once in a great while, or stabbing, but never a stampede...

i honestly havent seen any qts on the interstates

Im really not a fan of truckstops as far as hitching a ride is because most of the truckers have company policys and gay shit like that about picking up hitchhikers. but they are good for spangin and dumpster divin. :) TA's suck imo. ive never had any luck there. Flying J's suck too imo...

Im normally aginst these kinds of things, theyre kind of annoying imo. but watever. My names Blu. Im 21. I like to travel, be it watever means, but I prefer hitchhiking and the like to cars boats or planes. Im from wichita kansas lived here most of my life and while at times it can be nice...

Maybe ill try, im heading out of kansas on the 3rd i believe so i may not make it up there by the 6th but maybe the 10th. im always down for chillin in states parks or the wild for that matter.

The excerpt is below i went ahea dand copied it all because making a username for the site to read th einfo its listed on is a pain. But im gonna be going to this and would be cool to kick it there with some other stper's. The Chilluminati present an open air camping festival brought to life...
