https://squattheplanet.com/threads/hitchhiking-megathread.37046/ Might want to start with the pinned thread right at the top you posted this thread in. Since you must have had trouble finding it, I linked it in this post.

Welcome to StP! Cool pictures and I enjoyed your write up on The Garden. Any suggestions on books for beginners about gardening?

The GI Joes I found at the park when I was little - they were friggin cool and should count, fight me. Haha 🤣 The day I found a $20 dollar bill literally flapping in the breeze in the grass on a day I needed it most. It paid for dinner and a beer. Today I found a Manfrotto tripod with a pistol...

So I'm a little confused...you made topics asking about sex work at Slab City... yet you're apparently "running away from home" just wondering why someone who is of legal age needs to "run away" instead of just simply "leaving home"?

Yes please. A sewing megathread/guide would be awesome to have pinned somewhere.

If you catch out of Denver no one says you can't switch directions or railroads in another siding town or c-c point to catch a train to where you want to go.

Not sure what you mean by "better trains", better than what? Union Pacific and BNSF both have yards in the Denver area. If you're just looking to go "somewhere warm" they should be able to get you started in the right direction...are you trying to go somewhere specific? But you can hitch hike...

Welcome to StP, there's tons of info to be had here, read through some old threads, ultilizr the search feature and don't forget to check out the library section of the forum. There's even a few banjo books you can download there.

I don't know if anything would actually come of it but is there a customer line or something you'd be able to call or email to file some kind of formal complaint for being put through public embarassment instead of being taken to a private area to conduct the search/pat down? Sorry that...

I want to make a leather one so it holds up better, been wearing out the britches from sitting around. My problem is I need to go get a carpenters framing square to be able to cut shit straight. My eyes ain't what they used to be and I can't eyeball a straight line. Might see if I can get...

If you sewed the crotch at all like the sewing on your vest/hat in your butt-flap thread then I say you should work on your technique. Thread the floss through the needle double back and tie the ends together to make a loop of floss with a knot in one end and the needle at the other. Tighten...

If you're not a citizen life here will be significantly harder. Background checks are part of citizenship so you'd most likely be flagged right away. Depending on what your warrants are for, a deportation may result in you being handed over and held by US customs until they can get you back for...

Do you listen to Sierra Ferrell? John Prine and Townes Van Zandt kick ass as well. You a fan of folk punk at all?

No one is going to just write out that kind of information on a publically viewable forum such as this. I reccomend crossing legally.

Get a passport.

Hello Georgia, welcome to StP, check out the library section of the forum. You might find lots of good resources there. What are some of your favourite country/folk bands or artists?

To find a partner that actually makes me feel like I have value, like I matter, someone that makes me feel understood, someone I can just hang out with and call my best friend. Shit's falling apart around me but I just want to find someone to love and to be loved by. Someone that has my back...

I have dreads too and just wanted to mention, the reason behind the rasta wearing of locks. It comes from the biblical character Samson who was an isrealite and who's parents took a nazarite vow on his behalf. He is said to have had seven locks on his head which the rastas believe to be the...

Depending on how low "pretty low" is you may want to get them replaced before setting out. I'd personally go for the small "mom and pop" tire places instead of the big chain places. They're usually more likely to wheel and deal with you and can sometimes offer you a used set in good shape for...

Well...listen to Mr Cunning Linguist over here! 😝

So...do you like stuff and things?

I'm not from the area but if you have gas money is a bus ticket not an option?

My ex and I were supposed to do the Allegheny Passage from Pittsburgh down to Washington DC to go wander around museums and stuff. It never happened but if I get the chance I'd love to make the trip some day.

This might be a dumb question but is that exactly how the forum would look? Kinda digging the minimalist format upfront and then having the subcategories from there. It looks good to me so far. I agree with @marymemarryme

"You tink youze tuff or sump-tin?!?! I've got a bean pole witch your name all ovah it der TinCanBryan...dat's whatcha get for tryin to be tuff...see who's the friggin tuff guy wit a bean pole in his ass...wait till da Don ears about dis.. Not givin a friggin bike to Johnny Beans...whose dis...

Thanks for the clarification, this makes it a lot clearer as to the situation. Yes if the idea of the bike handout is that they need a letter vouching for them and they show up without kinda changes things. There isn't much of a way for you to find out except to start asking everyone else about...

Welcome to STP, check out the library if you haven't done so already!

I'm not sure whether to be happy or upset about this because all of my days plans now involve smoking dabs and watching this playlist. Thanks for this dude! Wanted to contribute a few documentaries myself.

If pawning a bike for $20 also makes their lives better who are you to judge? Hand out the damn bikes. I feel like you're taking offense to the streetname thing for no reason. Some people may be wanted, may be running from abuse, dealing with mental health issues, etc... there are a lot of...

Just for clarification, you did end up going to Chicago first then down to NOLA? Did you take the CN/IC Route? Anything worth mentioning about the way down? This could almost be a story of it's own.

Thank you for bumping this, I hadn't read it previously. It was really well written, I enjoyed the pace and it captured my attention for sure. You should definitely write more. Great pictures too by the way!

A whole bunch of interesting info for learning to play the banjo

A book by Joseph of the Black Death all stars with instructions on how to play the clawhammer style. Includes a collection of popular busking tunes, comprehensive chord diagrams and a guide to DIY banjo repair.

I just googled the soundcloud, there's also an instagram account associated with the it. I can't view it, don't have an account so it blocks me pretty quick. Here's some links https://m.soundcloud.com/rizzyukulele https://www.instagram.com/rizzynjunx/?hl=en Edit: someone let me know if the...

Welcome to StP! Check out the library section, lots of good resources there. How do you travel?

How old are you? Have you actually read old threads on this forum? You'll need warm clothes, long johns, insulated bibs (or non depending on how much travelling you do), a sturdy and warm jacket like carhartt, winter hat, gloves...if I was you I'd travel south for the winters. Why stay in NY...

Welcome to StP, check out the library section there's lots of useful info there. What kinda of music are you into?

If that's what ya got or what you have access to then lace them up and get going. Replace them when they get too worn out. Rinse and repeat. I usually wear whatever work boots I can get my hands on. But I wouldn't want to be wearing jungle boots in New York winters...or any real snow for that...

Welcome to StP! If you haven't done so yet, check out the library, tons of cool stuff there. I'm in southern Ontario myself.

What do you think you're posting on?...🤔

I subscribed! Looking forward to seeing your travels.

The temperature ratings on sleeping bags don't mean "snug as a bug" while sleeping in your undies at that temperature. It means you'll be alive, miserable but alive. What I'm getting at is that even with a cold weather bag you will still need to be bundled up yourself depending on how cold the...

Fair enough, I've never been. I have a friend down there visiting people, I was hoping to pass along some cool stuff to check out.

Asking for a friend. What's going on in Jackson this time of year? Anyone know of cool spots to check out, where do the punks hang, good railfan spots, any anarchist bookshops? Basically where's all the cool stuff and people to be found? Really appreciate any info!

Welcome! If you have the means to do so, post some pics of your travels! Would love to see views of Africa.

Sorry for your loss

My dude, you're missing a golden opportunity to rerecord the song with "consensually cum on your face" in the lyrics and upload it as a jab at people. 😋

Winter where...Orlando Florida, Winnipeg Manitoba, Anchorage Alaska? Makes a big difference. Can you provide a little more info? On the road how, hitchhiking, train hopping, bike touring, walking?

Welcome to STP! If you haven't already done so, check out the library section. Lot's of useful stuff there.

Diaper rash cream. I'm completely serious. Works good for razorburn too.
