    Brazil, and a few freights maybe??

    So if all goes well with work contracts this summer/fall I will be heading down to Brazil for a little Urbex and also hopefully try my hand at a few freights down there. Just wondering if anyone one here has had any experience in the country. I've been through most of Latin America and I'm...

    Is this worth fixing up for long distance travel?

    Would make a great city hipster bike, all you need is a mustache and a plaid shirt and your good too go. Not sure what you mean by long distance, but I wouldn't take that thing on any trips longer than an hour. Cant go wrong with the price though, but I would get a bike with gears if your...

    StP gathering in 2014 discussion

    If STP is covering the travel costs I'd say we should all meet in the middle east. I've always wanted to go, so it be like two birds with one stone. The workshop idea is pretty cool, I think it could be a great chance to inspire folks to venture into new things.

    Work ethics and shit

    I feel compelled to throw one more point into the work ethics mix. I think our freedom as individuals is directly tied to our work ethic, and this is the single biggest reason why people who lack in this department grow up bitter. I also believe that this lack of "work ethic" is one of the...

    Work ethics and shit

    People need security, fear change and the unknown, so they sell their souls for a false sense of happiness. I grew up in a government town where like most places you go to school, get a degree in whatever, then take a 9-5 job in the public sector, working inside a cubicle for the rest of your...

    Anyone know any good books about revolution?

    There was this book at a university library I used to hang out in back in the day. It was a thick hardcover book called "blue prints to revolution", I cant find anything about it online, and I've only ever heard/seen it at that library. It was by far the most amazing and detailed manual I have...

    How to prepare for vagabond life?

    Hmm.Wondering about what clothes to pack for out west in the summer time.

    Dude, umbrellas really? At the end of the day its down to what your comfortable with I guess, but an umbrella?? In my opinion most people over pack. You don't need 10 pairs of pants ext. I'd say one change of clothing. One hooded sweater, a tuque or a cap. A few pairs of socks for sure. Have...

    Lock picking

    To be honest I couldn't tell you, most of the locks where the basic 4-5 pin tumbler type. It was always just a matter of applying slight torque and raking the pins until you got it, def no 007 type shit. I certainly enjoyed popping the locks on things where people tried to keep us out, but for...
