It's best to try to go through a door if you're going to break in, but if it has boarded up windows on the first floor, there's a very high chance it's a burn out. You don't want to be squatting in those. Usually windows on the first floor have bars on them so most places don't feel the need to...

I haven't been there in 10+ years but I squatted in a building in Chinatown by Sunday Breakfast Rescue Mission. That place has since been reclaimed by housies and turned into apts and shit though sadly. Every. Single. Traveling kid who passed through Philly knew about that building and it was...

I don't ever personally remember doing it myself but I knew a few people that talked about doing it. Might have just been a couple niche cases then, or maybe a regional thing because the area was dangerous.

Really? I thought it was kinda common

Bare minimum, you're gonna want a couple changes of clothes, a marker or two (edit: black, for making panhandling/destination signs), a climate appropriate sleeping bag, a tarp and maybe a yoga mat or some kind of sleeping pad if you don't like hunting for cardboard. Additional things I suggest...

I'm really bad at picking up red flags, but one piece of advice I can offer you is to have somebody who you can send plate numbers of who picks you up. Send them either a decent quality picture or a text containing the state, plate number, make and model of the car, it should all be on the back...

I would like to share with all of you a trip I've been planning for a couple years now. I started with a handful of graves and other destinations with the trip ending at Bruce Lee and Brandon Lee's graves. As I've shared the image of it around, I get more ideas from friends and others who see...

Delivery people in general are pretty cool, got picked up in... North Hollywood if memory serves and got taken to Calabasas. The person who picked me up was delivering flowers and only had one thing left that day.

If you have a little extra money left over, since you're gonna be filming it with a gopro already, you should think about live streaming it. You'd need a couple charge banks and cell service. Was watching a guy on TwitchTV hitchhiking through Europe before the pandemic happened, he has a pretty...

Hello there and welcome aboard! You alright with being called A-A-ron? Southern Maryland you say... Whenever I think of Maryland, I'm always reminded of @bryanpaul, maybe with any luck, he comes back to us and you cross paths with him.

A friend of mine bought a camper a few years back and she didn't take it to a mechanic, ended up getting stiffed on it cuz it actually was a piece of shit that broke down not far from where she bought it. As with any motor vehicle, always always always take it to a mechanic before you purchase it.

Yeah it didn't occur to me until today. Moving over to the other thread now

I mean you're right but I'm kinda giving him the benefit of a doubt that he wouldn't have gone on with a rant like you described a few posts back. Maybe he'd have just use a lot of harsh words but ultimately not something actually ban worthy. He'd probably have caught a bunch of flak from people...

Damn, I was hoping to pull him back from the brink of a ban before that happened.

I've been stuck in NYC for the last like 4 years in an apartment. I want to go into the woods for awhile and live off the land, somewhere I'm not going to be bothered by landowners or cops/rangers. I want to be able to build stuff and if I have to worry about rangers kicking me off of state...

Would that happen to be the train threads? Matt wanted to change how that works because a lot of people have apparently been just making one post and never coming back Edit: I think there should be two options for being able to post in there. The first one is a certain age for your account and...

Welcome aboard! I would love to hear some of your stories from the last 10 years, I always find tales of others travels very interesting. As I'm sure many others among us do too.

If you have the money for a high end camera, you're better off getting a high in smartphone instead. Unless you're shooting pictures with a super zoom lense, most smartphones have equal or greater cameras than more digital cameras on the market. I might be wrong but I think there's phones with...

Looking to give away one or both of these tarps. I bought them back in 2016 and left them in a drawer and never used them. Only discovered that they're too big for what I need like 3 days ago. The colors were listed as brown and green, though the green is more of an aqua. Will bring to you if...

That's weird as hell This is from the SAS Survival Handbook, make something like this to skin him. Make sure you put a drip pan below to collect the blood to avoid attracting animals to the area. If you want me to post the full page, lemme know

Without seeing it myself, it sounds like it probably hit the bumper. It probably took the impact straight along its whole body, maybe the chest. Sounds like the lungs ruptured cuz of the blood. You'll know for sure when you start cutting passed the broken bones.

Huge respect for not leaving him to rot. Make sure you don't hit the scent glands around it's anus while you're skinning him. If you plan on using the meat, check the liver for spots, I don't remember what it is but it's bad, discard the meat in that case. There's a chance he had rabies, you'll...

I'll let you know towards the end of June

Yeah, you're right. Here's the list and map for the road trip. Note that with the way this website works, I can't put Chicago in cuz if I do, it'll do some funny shit and alter the course. Also, ignore the times/dates, it autofills them. I've actually taken a fair bit of the inner states that...

I've been living in NYC for over 5 years now, counting the time I was homeless to now. I've been getting tired of living here, but at the same time, I don't want to just leave and/or move elsewhere or become homeless again. NYC is a very convenient city and everything I could ever want is within...

Sort of an update https://www.instagram.com/katdharma/ He looks like he's homebumming and got most of his face tat removed. It's looking unlikely that anybody is gonna ever run into him again

This is actually pretty old. I'm surprised it wasn't posted before.

So I wanna get a crew together to bike the legendary AP. I don't want to go it alone and I've been meaning to hike it, anyway. I'd like to shoot for fall of next year, north to south through biking. If anybody is interested, let me know. I'm still working on getting physically fit and if you're...

I did not make a "blanket statement". The words "drunk" and "native" can be separated. If they're sober, there's no problem, therefore that was in no way, shape or form a blanket statement

You're acting as though this were an isolated incident. Its not. It happens all the time. They crash all the time. its so bad that New Mexico state troopers sit outside of their bars just to arrest them. Its out of control. And that's not being racist, its being correct and attesting to facts

The reason why I said that is because of an event that happened between Albq and Phoenix where I got picked up by a native from the Laguna Reservation. I don't want to go into too much detail, cuz if word gets back to his rez, he can be kicked out. Regardless of that, he was really fuckin drunk...

I'm not backpedaling. Natives have a higher drunk driver rate.

Well, the reason being is that they have no tolerance of alcohol in their genes. The ones I've ran into had a lot of problems. We didn't crash, but its still a hazard you have to deal with. I heard from a native that he's able to get the equivalent BAC that a white man would get from drinking...

I don't know what road my life is taking right now. I'm sitting on my ass collecting SSI. maybe I'll go back to school. Maybe I'll stay like this for the rest of my life. Maybe the war everybody is gearing up for will happen and I'll come out on top. But right now, I have no clue

So I feel like this needs to be posted for you guys to learn from my mistakes. I was homeless for damn near 6 years. Do I regret it? Hell no. No, the reason why I'm posting this is so you don't have to fuck up like I did Lemme start from the beginning. I was 17 and my parents weren't the best...

So, since you can do it, if I'm not too late... For the outer edge stuff. Make an E somewhere along with the stylize A or a hammer and sickle. Cuz then you can wear it however you want instead of have only 2 options

Not always. you could attract the wrong kind of attention with this and have no rides come through. Always check local knife laws with the police. Just ask them, "What is the legal blade size here?" IF you are carrying an illegal knife: Say thank you officer and walk away somewhere like a...

This thread is not allowed to die Bump

This has the makings of a very good thread... Anyway, some people I've seen on the streets just don't give a flying fuck and are total oogles about their lives. They get schwilly as fuck and/or high as fuck and just do whatever. These people are the ones that get arrested more than anything...

No problem. Alot more people need to fuckin read this

I have a CFP-90 and got rid of an ALICE for it. Make sure you buy one MADE IN THE USA, not China. Mine's falling apart like a bitch

Hell yeah. You're on my team

I've been too out of touch for the last 2 years. I can't meditate ever anymore. I used to, but some mental block came along and boom. I can't do it anymore >_< It annoys the fuck out of me.

In jail. No, he admitted he stole it, but tried to say I was with him and knew it was stolen.

Aug 19th, 2012, Monday. I got a ride into Jacksonville the night before, tried to get out as soon as I could. Stayed up all night cuz the bugs suck ass. I try to doze off a few times, but get woken up by somebody, rain or bugs. I finally catch a ride at around 2 PM. 2 guys in the car, ask where...

Well, looks like I can stop my manhunt. Time to put the sword away... Just as soon as I find Casey....

Somebody should sticky this

Thanks for the feedback all. I knew I didn't have everything lol

I've been wanting to write this for awhile and I have no idea if this is the right forum for this. It seems to fit though. My story is a long one, but that's not what this is about. This is about what I've learned while I was on the street. A set of codes that one should abide by to make life...
