You gotta get out of SoCal, yo. It's going to be incredibly difficult to overcome addiction being around that area, and the triggers you have around to go back to using. I don't know where you are at in SoCal, but it might be worth going to the nearest place where travelers are (train yards...

Update: I got rolled on by CA Park Rangers not a few hours after making my post on this thread. Talked them out of giving me a "no alcohol in the park" and camping citation. Coincidence, eh?

Not trying to be a dick here, but most of them have probably been banned, cause cops aren't the only people they like talking shit to, haha

This is exactly how I feel. I have 3 rules that I make very clear when vetting road Dawgs: 1. No cops 2. No Violence 3. No Drama I used to work very closely with LEO's in my previous career. I know how they operate, been through alot of training with them, and know alot of the lingo. Also know...

I'll edit it.

I'm failing to see the connection that Jim Abler has to this thread. Can you enlighten me?

I came from a conservative state. I used to hold alot of racist/misogynistic/hateful views. It took a hell of alot of personal work to realize I was on the wrong side of ideology. So you can say I have actually questioned my views...many times. I think we an almost all agree that being a tankie...

There it is. 🤦‍♂️ Omg. Ok. I'm done here, hahahhhahaha Alright man, yer views are yer views. Just make sure to keep exploring knowledge and philosophy. But to answer your question...no. I don't really. I have ideals that don't really waver for a reason.

Nice! I'll also add this for people, Rail Guide app. It also shows historic and abandoned railroad lines: Rail Guide

Um. Why does it seem like you equate leftism and liberalism under the same umbrella? And why is this even a debate. Leftism has literally never been the establishment in this country. And if you think the Dead Kennedys were not leftists, I don't really know how I'm going to keep having this...

Dude....what? Come on. That.....sounds like some AnCap shit right there. Dude....fucking....what? Ya the difference is that punk has never been controversial in an oppressive sense. That also sounds like some AnCap or neo-nazi shit. For real, people aren't personally attacking you, or...

Edited for paragraph breaks. This is a great post. I'm been thinking about going to Rainbow for a while now, but have never been. Thanks for the info. So glad you mentioned contribuing to Nic at Night. That guy/girl/person is such a savoir when you are tripping balls and need a cigarette 🤣

I would  love to play in a chess tournament. Like face to face though. Im not very good, but i would like to learn more about the game. There is a reason why this game has been around for centuries. Good cognitive exercise.

Ya, those are a great option if you can afford it. I watched 2 guys try to break into one in the bay area for like and hour with no success

Without blowing up my spots, I stash me gear all the time. You just have to be smart about it. Places with little traffic, check for footprints, know the art of camouflage, and know the area. You'll be fine. I've recently got another compression sack where I leave all the shit in there and...

Edited original post to add paragraph breaks for easier reading. Suicide is a personal choice, and it shouldn't be illegal, or looked upon as an action of 'weakness' or 'hopelessness'. But is should be the last option....after the last option has been tried, and everyone should be encouraged to...

This is what I also wanted to post, but without the 'teriyaki' part.

This makes me kinda sad to hear all the evidence you've provided about the podcast, but im sure glad you did. I fell for that shit head over heels apprarently. The deception is fucking maddening. And it makes the riding culture even more venerable to outside critique that it already is. Thanks...

I'll have to research this more. If your claims are true, we need to bring this to light. There isint alot I can't see from this link other than it being from 2012. But I'll check it out and get back to this link when I get to a place I can load it more efficiently.

w00t! Thanks for the help y'all! Curious to see what this holds for the future of StP!

Hey folks, we've found ourselves a genuine wackadoodle in the wild. Watch, as they constantly use ALL CAPS and a bunch of ellipsis...................

Bend man dies after dog attack at homeless encampment, deputies say - https://www.bendbulletin.com/localstate/bend-man-dies-after-dog-attack-at-homeless-encampment-deputies-say/article_a57d4570-2670-11ee-ae81-1beb66affe38.html Been saying for years that dogs are my #1 safety issue while...

Very much agreed. I 100% agree with this. Along with legalizing drugs, which would stop, or severely restrict his fent/Tranq shit that's happening. I do not believe that because you have an addiction, the rest of society has to suffer because of it. Not saying addicts aren't suffering, they...

I was just up there for quite a while. Housing alone won't fix the houselessness issue. The fent epidemic up there is  insane . Almost every single homebum was smoking fent, and no one I talked to wanted to do anything about it. there has to be mandatory treatment requirements/proof of...

Bend is cool to see and experience. It used to be my home base for a while, but the bougie-fication the last time I went rubbed me the wrong way, and I don't think I'll be going back anytime soon. Go eat at the Family Kitchen. It's one of the best soup kitchens I've ever been to. Shower truck...

In light of StP eventually shutting down, I have to revive this fucking thread, because I love this place, and all of you fuckers. Greetings from under a bridge in north Portland!

I have been seeing flyers for this event at like every catch out along the west coast, haha

Where is this in Washington? I might e interested....

Well, fuck. I know I haven't been around posting in the past few years. And I've also seen a decline of activity recently. I totally get your reasons @Matt Derrick you gotta fulfill your aspirations just like the rest of us. I do wanna thank you for everything StP related. This website...

I've only hitched a few times post COVID, as I'm appearently on the 'fuck hitching because.....trains'....well...train. Bit it seemed abut the same. I did spend 6 hours trying to hitch out of Rice, CA though. That sucked. But I think it would have been that way in that location regardless of...

Me and my road dawg are in Seattle now, and will be here for a couple of days. May be able to meet up and get you some info. Can't guarantee it,but might be able to. We are hanging around Ballard/Fremont area. Feel free to PM me.

I know this is out of left field, but its kinda related, nd funny AF...and Robot Chicken features mostly all of the references to cartoons/shows we've been talking about... CAPITAN PLANET!!!!!

"He's our hero! Gonna take pollution down to zero!" God damnit I loved the 90s.... Rocko's Modern Life would be so great to see revamped like they did Beavis and Butthead. I think the new B&B is even funnier than the old one. "Welcome.....to HECK!!!! MUHAHAHAHAH!"

There is an entire section about this topic. Which you found, and posted in. Please use the search feature/search through the van dwelling threads before posting questions. I can guarantee many of your questions have already been answered in one of the threads. Especially about just buying a...

Grundens isint bad, but they are heavy and they don't hold up the greatest.

Ya, I hate the whole 'Karma' concept as well. But I try to actively ignore that. I just think the responses on that media platform are just more, i dunno...authentic? You can also choose what is thrown into your face, and can filter out all the political/social bullshit by only subscribing to...

That 'broke' monopoly man tattoo is sick. So is the squatter symbol one. Great shit. I have no tattoos atm, but I'm hoping to find someone to get a couple, or do them myself in the coming months.

I feel that accessing the past site content is one of the most important aspects of StP as it is now, and that feature is invaluable to this being a community that seeks to assist new travelers/be a source of info and prior experience that is available nowhere else on the internet....so thats a...

So in an awesome turn of events, I will finally be able to attend another Jambo! My suggestions for locations are: Bend, OR: in the Deschutes National Forest somewhere between Bend and Sunriver. Or perhaps on the Metolius River north of Sisters. Highways and trains get there. Ashland, OR...

Oh shit: Ted Kaczynski dies in Prison at 81

It used to be Hotel Hotel Seattle, but covid killed that small buisneas, like it killed every small buisness. Orange Village Hostel in SF is awesome. $30/night for a bed. Free breakfast, cheap laundry (free soap!), a hangout room with TVs, games, instruments, etc. I always hit that place up if...

I've been listening to the Lost Dog Street Band recently, and that is some of the best folk/americana that I've heard in a long, long time:

It's all about that Fifle Goes West, yo! That movie had something getting into my eyes on multiple occasions. Also, Capitan Planet, Animaniacs, Hey Arnold...all those late 90s early 2000s classics

I also have a fox story: I was sitting in Wishram, WA waiting for a train to Bend, and just sitting and overlooking the train yard. I felt this little brush on my hair from behind me. I swatted my hair, and heard some leaves crunching behind me. When I turned around, I was face to face with a...

Spectacular, god damn those are awesome.

Posting in a thread, rather than messaging you @Matt Derrick , mainly because Im wondering if others are curious... I'm curious if the site still has a "Media" section, where people can upload pics/videos. I remember this used to be a thing, but I cant find it anymore....if it still exists...

Thanks for the context. This is kinda why I wanted to open this thread up to see if anyone else has interacted with the guy, and see if the accusations are legit.

Traveler Beware... r/vagabond

Welcome to StP! What part of the country are you based out of?

Carry a big stick, and hit the ground in front of you, loudly, three times before making the next step. Like, Gandalf style. Snakes can feel vibrations in the ground, and will move away from that type of sound, that or rattle. Either way, you will know if the are there or not. I do this...
