So I used to play guitar a lot, but drifted away from it for about 10 years or so. Now I got a new (to me) guitar from a pawn shop and I'm looking to get back into it. Thing is, I used to go to ultimate-guitar.com but I just checked it out now and wow is that site spammy now. So I guess I'm...

Hey folks, it's been pointed out to me that there's a bug in the message board software that is causing users who qualify for reading the train hopping and urban exploration sections of the website (10+ posts and a completed profile) are still not able to view those sections. I'm a bit busy with...

Hello all my beautiful squatties, it's that time of year again where we start discussing where and when to have our annual Dirty Scouts Jamboree event! This is just a thread for us to hash out what would work best for everyone in terms of location, time of year, and what we'd like to see happen...

Pender Island: The Canadian Town Where Hitchhiking Is Encouraged Brendan Sainsbury 5-6 minutes I’m standing by the road outside of the Otter Bay ferry terminal on Pender Island in British Columbia, waving my thumb optimistically at the oncoming traffic. Behind me is a green...

Hey everyone, while I haven't had time to make a video about the van build I've been working on for the past few months, I figured I could at least write about it here and share a few photos as I finish it over the next few months. I chose the 2010 Ford Transit connect on a bit of a whim; I...

I thought a lot of the things on this list were pretty interesting and worth sharing here for anyone interested in traveling in countries outside the USA.

UPDATE 05-01-22: Something got hosed in the migration process and after several days of struggling, I decided to give up on this move for now. We'll revisit it at a later date. UPDATE 04-21-22: I took another stab at importing our data to the discourse platform and... SUCCESS!!! I finally...

As per @ali's suggestion, I have added the 'wow' reaction for those that want to express their amazement for any particular post. This reaction uses the same icon as the old Epic reaction, while the epic reaction will use a new 'exploding head' icon. ^^^ epic ^^^ wow

9.15.2021 7:15 AM Back in spring 2011 — the end of black truffle season, before the climbing roses bloomed — the Couchsurfers gathered at the Palazzo Massarucci, built on a hill north of Rome at the beginning of the Renaissance. The castle is said to have hosted Lucrezia Borgia, the Vicar of...

This is the original Dan Durston X-MID one person ultralight tent. Comes in original bag, never opened, never used. Been sitting in my closet for about two years, so I figure it's time to give it a new life with someone that will enjoy it. This does not come with tent poles, as it's designed to...

You're now looking at the new website design I've been working on for the past 3-4 weeks now. Like most of the new additions to StP recently, this new layout is designed to be more mobile friendly, and hopefully easier to navigate for everyone. I'm sure it hasn't escaped you that I've changed...

I thought this was interesting, mostly because no one really talks about the influence banks have on society and the world. They are the epitome of capitalism, yet no one is really fighting them or trying to reign in their control. ---------------------------- Aug. 19, 2021, 9:16 PM CDT /...

Just a quick update to let you know I've switched the 'reactions' system out for a new one. This is the system that lets you react with various emojis to people's posts: All the previous options are there, but the big change is that the point values of some of the ratings have changed...

So, after over a decade of putting if off, I finally got off my ass and put in my application for a US passport. It's always just been one of those things where I'm like, "agh, $140 bucks is a lot of money, I'll do it later," and well, you know how it is, weeks stretch into months, months to...

hey folks, thank you to those that reported the spam they were getting in their inboxes. i had a russian spam bot hitting us pretty hard today for some reason. things have calmed down for the time being, but please let me know if you notice any other spammy shit going on.

Hey folks, I know it's been a long time since I've announced any updates to StP. I've been pretty quiet overall, mostly just due to being in deep consideration of what to do next, not just with StP but my personal life in general. I have to admit I've been in a bit of a slump in regards to StP...

Hey folks, unfortunately due to mechanical issues, we came up short on having enough boats to take everyone out to cypress island. This has forced us to change the location of the Jamboree at the last minute to somewhere near Cle Elum, Washington. The current plan is to meet in Seattle at Jimi...

I just saw the above video on youtube, looks like due to the ease in pandemic restrictions, there's a flood of people applying for passports. Currently there's a delay of up to 18 weeks so if you're planning on traveling internationally, you should probably apply asap. On a side note, I know...

Just wondering if anyone has preferences on drinks, food, etc. I know there's campfire grills out on the island, but @iamwhatiam do we need grills to put on them or wood, or charcoal? all input is encouraged :)
