    Almost Every State As Lone Female

    I'd say a lot of this is in line with my experience, though when I was travelling more in California it was a bit cheaper, slept in golden gate park in SF a lot and that didn't used to be a problem, but I'd say SF is one of the least friendly places to homeless people now. It used to be more...

    New Reddit for Leftists

    I would understand what you are saying more if that is what I saw happening. At the moment I see a fairly positive community. People are not bickering and infighting as much as most anarchist communities I have been a part of. I really do get a sense of some left unity for the first in my...

    New Reddit for Leftists

    That is totally fair and I think that is an excellent point. I am not going to try to push it on anybody that isn't into it, but I thought some people here might dig it. I do agree that we need spaces where we can engage with more diversity in thought. I also understand what you mean by sub...

    New Reddit for Leftists

    So the simple fact of being involved with any leftist movement is that there will be infiltration and if that was your concern I would say you had a legitimate one. However the site isn't developed or hosted in the US, so the site being some sort of conspiracy to entrap leftists is unlikely...

    New Reddit for Leftists

    I thought you guys might be interested in this site: http://raddit.me it is a reddit clone, but without all the alt-right non-sense. It is very heavily moderated(which is honestly a good thing these days). Check it out if you are into that sort of thing.

    Soylent or similar meal/drink

    Anybody tried this for longer trips? Seems lighter than regular food and maybe could get one through a bind. Obviously not ideal if food is to be viewed also as a morale booster, but I'd like to hear some pros and cons. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-J120A using the Squat the Planet mobile app!

    Unemployed forever/Retired at 27.....

    I hear that. I wish it weren't that way, but everybody will always try to get a cut and the only way to stop more middle men inserting them between yourself and the things you need is to figure out how to be more self sufficient... When it comes to it, we don't need natural gas or the people...

    Unemployed forever/Retired at 27.....

    I definitely can relate to this. I've moved around all of my adult life, trying to maintain some semblence of "normalcy," all the while, but most potential employers want to see a resume that shows you are settled and stable. I guess I don't really like that feeling of being stable, but have...

    News & Blogs Can the Appalachian Trail Survive ‘A Walk in the Woods?’

    Also what this shows is that we created such complacency with capitalism that anything free is seen by society as having no value. That alone is why some things need to be socialist.

    News & Blogs Can the Appalachian Trail Survive ‘A Walk in the Woods?’

    Sometimes it's best if greenhorns stay out of the woods. I did a little day hike along point Reyes and there were kids with their Bluetooth speakers playing dubstep everywhere and slim Jim wrappers and beer cans along the trail. Since cops made harder to party in the cities they've driven the...

    Bay Area Hiking Buddy

    I've hiked around the bunkers in the Marin Headlands a bunch and even stayed at the environmental camps there. Its a pretty awesome spot. Also been diggin Tilden in Berkeley, though I don't think your allowed to camp there. I want to do some stuff in the Mt. Tamalpias state park. I've found...

    Bay Area Hiking Buddy

    So as I've said before I am currently stuck in Vallejo for some indeterminate amount of time. I have been really having the travelling itch and have found that hiking new spots(sort of) stymies that itch. I actually may be heading up to Washington at some point now, but the plans are kind of...

    Prepping Your Phone for Life as an Anarchist

    I was just restating what you said in a less equivocal way, thats all. I never said CarrierIQ is firmware, but there are potentially firmware equivalents out there are actually all of android technically functions as firmware, since the OS is flashed to the device. CarrierIQ is actually a...

    Prepping Your Phone for Life as an Anarchist

    As far as Carriers being able to turn on and off your gps, they have no hardwired way of doing so if your phone is off, but they do have software and firmware to do so. Look into CarrierIQ. You can verify whether it is on your phone with the Logging Checker app I recommended above. If you...

    Prepping Your Phone for Life as an Anarchist

    Thats very good news and very good to know. I still think it is important to protect yourself as best you can from corrupt police who are not educated about our rights and their responsibilities. I still believe that encrypting your phone and using a passcode of some kind to unlock it are...

    The Neighbourhood Hippie Squat that Seceded from the European Union

    Best place would probably be detroit right now. Could buy quite a bit of property and have very few enforced rules from outside governing bodies. However, to actually succeed from the union is not really a likely scenario here. Our government is too tyrannical to allow that.

    Prepping Your Phone for Life as an Anarchist

    I was very resistant to the idea of getting a smartphone for many years. When I heard about backdoors installed by default like carrierIQ I resolved to stick with my nokia brick for as long as I could. Then I started working at an electronics recycling place and was introduced to both Android...

    Urban Farming woes

    This seems like a ridiculous thing to ask, but how do I get ladybugs? Also what ratio of Dr Bronners to water? I used some neem. Helps with the aphids, but the ants just bring more and seem completely impervious, but the plants seem to have a tough time with the stuff. I'll try diatomaceous...

    Urban Farming woes

    So I live in Vallejo, CA right now. I'm not traveling for the time and so I've laid down roots, literally. We had a pretty big earthquake last year that knocked down a big stone wall and I built terraces with the rubble and planted tomatoes. Now the ants here are bringing little bugs onto the...

    Anyone carry a Linux OS flashdrive with them?

    I think computing from a usb creates a lot of computing problems that I can't see past. The biggest of those problems is that you must always be able to find a computer where the bios hasn't been locked down. Sure there are a ton of stupid people out there that don't know what bios is, but...

    2015 North American Hitchgathering, California, July 13-18

    I'm going to try to make it. Is it frowned on to not currently be travelling and go? I am currently not on the road, but this seems really fun, so I figured I'd stop by if I can. Also I think the wiki says it is in July not August.

    I have been doing dreads for a little over a year now, but I am doing the don't give a fuck method. It mostly works. They don't look professional, but I want low maintenance. Mostly I use dry shampoo and try to mitigate oil and they do their thing on their own. I could never understand...

    Using bitcoins in your travels?

    Yeah it can be hard to get them. The mining algorithm has a difficulty rating that changes, but is currently not really worth it. Sometimes if you keep up to date on hardware you can get some new asic miners that will pay off of you get them early, but I'd say for most of us on here it isn't...

    you can actually use them to get gift certificates on gyft. so you could live on them, but you need some reliable method for getting them. Not really sure there is anything really worth it. Sent from my SPH-L720T using Forum Fiend v1.3.

    Anyone here a fan of Black Metal?

    I've been mostly listening to atmospheric black metal from the Pacific NW lately. There is a lot of really good stuff going on. Atriarch, Ash Borer, Wayfarer, Wolves in the Throne Room and Agalloch have been getting a lot of play at my place lately. I also dig some of the older Norwegian...
