You should just go around the whole country to the south and drive up the coast of CA and go back east. ;)

Dude, centralia fucking rocks. I was out there earlier this summer. Drove my car like 80 down the shut off highway. Going to PA in 8 days to kick around, Spange a bit, and do some hiking. Welcome to the site, brother.

Seriously, Digihitch was my god. I too will help, if you need it. Seriously... No talk, no bullshit, only truth. I'd love to see the old girl resurrected, in part.

Fantastic.

Hmmm. I'd like to comment on this. First of all, this is all pure speculation, and it can turn out in a multitude of ways. For example, the venus project, https://www.thevenusproject.com/en/, holds that when technology gets to the point that you describe, where machines can carry out much of the...

Meh. I think we've have become a little more jaded, and a little less willing to trust or help someone out, but do I think things are, strictly speaking, more dangerous? No. I think we're programmed in modern society to be more afraid. I don't usually buy into conspiracy theories, but when most...

I love things like the recording app, I can see so many uses for it. but what really impresses me is that the company isn't recording everything on private servers or some shit. Can't imagine google doing something like that... :P

Good luck finding a home for you dogs. They seem like they'd be pretty cool animals, based on breed.

You're welcome. Someone once said (I forget who) that the people of StP (Squat the Planet) treat strangers better than most people treat their friends. I've always taken pride in this fact and it's one of the reasons why so many people hang around. Don't be afraid to comment on things or voice...

Sounds pretty great, if they would allow it. It'd be pretty hard core.

Try telling our forefathers, you know, the people who built this country with back breaking labor and the sweat of their brow, they couldn't live off the grid... :p

Sweet! That sounds really cool. I'd never thought about a sex shop collective. I am back in my home town for Fifteen more days (Held quite captive against my will) and was just thinking about setting up some sort of collective business here in town. Also housing. There is a serious lack of...

Lol. You remind me of me, before my first hitch. My first hitch trip actually only happened because of a lie, and I was terrified the whole time, so if I can do it you can too. :p Check out the site, read some stories, get to know people. The world out there is awesome. There is a FUCK of a lot...

You know what @Odin, you're right. Thank you for educating me in this matter. I feel like a douche. It's funny how we tavelers can forget that our stationary equivalents are humans too.

Make no mistake, I'm not intending to come off as condescending or rude. If that is what they want to do, fine. I mean, I've crashed in my car and stayed in one spot for about 4-5months before. If crashing in the city and kicking it in the park is what they want to do, fine. That's fucking...

There is a difference between the chaos this system ensures and the chaos of the system we strive for. You can't say the system we have is the one we want. Just because they're both birds doesn't mean they're the same type of bird. One is a robin and the other an ostrich. But yeah, they're the...

Fucking shitty, but then again, I for the life of me can't see why anyone would want to camp in plain view on the sidewalk like that and use it as their main residence day after day... excepting the mentally unwell, of course.

Agreed, Art. It helps that people are being respectful. Someone 'round here would have written god suks cox on the wall in red spray.

Totally agree with this. It's really cool to see a church and a pope living up to it's true responsibilities. I am amazed no one has tossed them out of this palatial building.

I'm curious as to wether or not this guy got out there and saw some shit.... it's always a shame when the kids don't call home. :P

I'll bring the gas, and the lighter, you bring the ski mask. Also, I never really thought about lying. Always figured they'd catch me on the background check. I feel confident to do most jobs. Unless it's something real technical, you can usually learn it in a few days.

Yeah, I reread some of my old stuff that motivated me to take up the lifestyle in the first place today in the library. Sort of realized I was being a whine ass, even though there was a lot of truth to the everything I wrote in my original post last night. Thanks for the tips about swift, Jim. I...

Not quite sure. I had a lot of fun checking out all of the little towns on I-80 earlier in the summer. We found this little town, Brooksville, that was so quaint it seemed fake. I am more of a wilderness guy than a city guy, but like to have the option. So something about an hour from a city...

Yay, someone else that is in GR! Welcome to the site. ^_^

Haha, I don't actually want to live in the marriot. I think I'd burn it down after a week. Thanks for all the suggestions, guys. I'll definitely look into getting my CDL. I've thought about it before, and just never made it happen. It wouldn't be a terrible job. My grandpa did it. I think half...

A guy I know from around GR. He sells pot, a lot of pot. He's fucking smart. The kind of smart where he doesn't even do anything in particular to show it and you can just sort of feel it ooze off of him, like cologne. Thanks for the school bus driver idea. I never really thought about it, to...

Long time no talk, STP. I've missed you all quite dearly. Been a very interesting few weeks without you. Got engaged, had a threesome in a 400$ a night suite on the 21st floor of the marriot, got into scams, got out of scams, got picked up by an old man at pride. Dyed my hair for the first time...

Because 1.000.000 don't care. 700.000 think it's hopless. 200,00 are too afraid. And 100.000 are busting their ass trying to make a living.. The few outliers like ourselves try to kick ass, but have a hard time of it.

Thanks a lot for the info, guys! Sounds like it will be a pretty chill trip for the most part. It S always nice to go to places where the fucking crustLords haven't devestated the local population like hoards of riding vandals.

I'm probably gonna take some heat for this but fuck it, we're a community that values free speech: I feel like he is a douche for fucking with the river like that just so he'd have a 'cool' place to camp. When he gets bored of it, dies, or gets kicked out or whatever, the fucking island he...

Hey y'all! So here's the deal, I am leaving MI in three days. I am far too in love with the lakeshore in my home state and want to do some covert camping along it for a week or so, but then after that I'd like to hitch up through the U.P. to WI and then west through MN, ND, MT, ID, WA. Then...

Congrats on your sucesses, 2yrs is huge. I had a six month stint of probation smack through the middle of summer and I never thought I'd make it, so you certianly kick ass. Happy Bday, mate.

@sofarfromhome Good luck finding a travel partner. I stalked your profile the other day out of curiosity after I read something you wrote and it seems lke finding someone is really important to you. I'm getting back on the road in five days, but I want to be alone for a month or so. Otherwise...

Welcome to the site. ^_^ When you quit, make sure you do it in a deliciously hilarious way and share all the gory details. I'm four days from quitting my job. I really want to wait for peak business, throw my hat in the shake machine and walk out. I kind of love my boss though. He has given me...

I'd agree with once a bum, always a bum in a certian sense. I mean, MOST people go from traveling to housed up eventually. All you have to do is hitch somewhere and listen to all the old guys who pick you up go on about their reckless youth. I DO think though, that we never stop longing for the...

She's hiding in her basement with her friends who still haven't come out since '99 for fear of Y2K being just a little late. It'll happen ANY day now.

As black bart roberts always said, "A brief life, but a merry one."

yeah, part of this culture you want to photograph is about always going for the next biggest adventures. If you're willing to Follow in ANYONES footsteps, then you are missing a piece of the puzzle. Plus, people in this culture, at least around here, seem to be tired of having their picture...

You have pretty good answers to your questions, so I'll just throw in my .02C on some things you DIDN'T ask. Plan to be standing on the roadside for a WHILE until you know what you're doing. Some people have a knack for picking terrible places to hitch, but as long as you do it on a mostly...

I understand that business insider is probably not got much cred around here, but here you go: http://www.businessinsider.com/jade-helm-conspiracy-theory-2015-5 Some people in Texas think the government is secretly planning a giant military coup to invade the state Read more...

Love it, Bro. It looks exactly like what I need right now. Here's to hiveranno camp v.2.0::drinkingbuddy::

Fuck yeah. Home-state pride. :P

Yeah, Soap is a joke. I rarely use it, though sometimes I'll wash my hair with soap in a walmart or something, but that is purely because I like how my hair is when I do that. Just scrub and splash around make sure to wear deodorant or something after. Smoking yourself and your clothes works if...

Just dive on in. I bathe in a local lake every day when I'm in my home town working.

my boyfriend and I have eaten so much free dumpster pizza.... there have been times where we've gone to bed hungry rather than eat pizza again. Got to try the pretzel pizza from little caesars the day it came out. :P

JUST GET MARRIED ALREADY. ;)

If you made money once you can make money again. Leave without it, find a new job, and get a new lover. One that isn't a douche.

I've left with no money and I've left with 1200$ in my bank account. I had rather more fun with $0. Actually came back home with 20$ in my pocket (this is when I still had a home). I feel like having more money just insulates you from the grit and the reality of living outside. You have to do...

I don't really think it's a school thing. It's a simple fact that the market is becoming rougher and rougher as capitalism is becoming increasingly strained and outdated. Options are becoming far scarcer for businessmen, marketers, and yes, even artists. I think it's a cultural thing, and, no...

You don't have to worry mate, soon your wanderlust will become so all consuming that you have no choice but to just walk out the front door. 's what happened with me, anyway. If you want to leave, grab a backpack and walk out the door. The rest will sort itself out.
