    Help me decide wtf to do with my life

    Firstly dude, what your doing with STP is a pretty big deal. I'd say bigger than any 9-5 job, especially as the site grows into a truly international space. This stuff here is some life's work type shit, if you know what I'm saying. As the leader of a worldly site, its probably a good idea to be...

Just keep in mind most if not all the countries in Central America charge exit taxes of $20-25 (could be more now as its...

    What Bivy Do you Recommend?

    I went from a tent, to a bivy, to not even carrying a tarp. Even bivys get to fucking big after a while. That being said my bivy has served me well in all seasons. I'd have to get back to you on what kind it is (was a gift), as its not on me at the moment. The main draw back to consider with a...

    Hey guys, Nikon Kidd here trying to be the next great vagabond photographer

    @Sheeves dude, also there is no point in going out and doing exactly what people have already done. Not only are you creating something that's already out there, your also not contributing anything new to humanity as a whole; and as an artist that's kind of what its all about. I'd try to find a...

    "Once a 'bum' always one"

    Tent, tarp or bivvy sac?

    FUCK TENTS straight up. They are extra weight to carry, they suck to set up, and they really fucking suck to take down and re pack every day.

    bridge between Russia and Alaska could lead to the ultimate road trip
