    HelpX?

    I've heard a few bad stories, basically hosts expecting too many hours of work and not providing food. Nothing really terrible though. You really should put up an honest review though, it warns others and makes the whole thing work.

    Max Stirner

    Certainly, I think that there's a certain type of person who chooses nihilistic thought as an excuse for their arrogance rather than any real belief in such doctrines. I had to look up Jon Birch, from my new found Wikipedia knowledge I ask: Why bug-scratchin? I thought he must have been a...

    Max Stirner

    Stirner is in short an individualist, I think he's well worth reading and considering for anyone who is an Anarchist or even just interested in Anarchism regardless of whether they agree with any of what he says. Which of course is why I created the thread. Sadly Stirner and Proudhon are often...

    Long time to answer, haha, but: it's pretty easy, depending where you are. In large cities and towns waiting and washing dishes is the easiest work to get, bar work requires a ticket sadly. Construction sites that aren't union, the small ones, will hire labourers, tradesmen too sometimes...

    Truth and Beauty

    'The Orthodox book mentioned above ( of wich Im not fully saying the title of all in one piece in case of copyright bullshit)...', I'd be amazed if you could breach copyright laws anywhere in the world merely by writing the title of a book out.

    A question for the admins

    I've read their last few, I'm not reading all 56, some a bit eccentric but nothing nasty or personal. Maybe they get worse?

    No I haven't, just this one which seems okay. Will look at his other posts.

    A question for the admins

    Haha, 209's post that wasn't in any way offensive seems to have caused some angst. Still, nothing wrong with angst, teen or otherwise :) And dammit 209, sarcasm can be recognised when written.

    A question for the admins

    This is general banter though is it not? Perhaps we should change the title to general discussion. I quote: 'If it doesn't belong anywhere else, it goes here. Rant away my friends!'

    A question for the admins

    General banter sounds like the section to spew filth to me. Not that I'm an admin or anything, however, taking the piss out of people who take themselves too seriously is a worthy task, certainly some of those here. We all need to be humbled occasionally, anyway, if you get banned you can always...

    I've always wanted to see the Siberian Taiga, with or without mastadons. Hope I don't get cleansed.

    News & Blogs Moscow cleanses its crusty punk population...

    A suspected couple of serial killers have been arrested in Moscow, investigators reported. They are believed to have killed at least seven people in a crusade to ‘cleanse’ the city of its homeless population. The killings were committed between July 2014 and February 2015, Russia’s...

    Which bike should I fix up? ( pix inside )

    Bike #1 is simpler and if you do end up doing more road/city stuff, as you think you might, suspension just means more effort and another thing to die. Honestly though, either of them haha, back to sqare one. Maybe there should be a #3.

    Squatting/repurposing a vacant building long term

    This is a bit late, however, seems worth pointing out. If you want a lower Voltage from a power source for small devices, mobile phones, smart phones, lamps, AA/AAA battery charge etc. Attach a car cigarette lighter socket to your power source, use a USB plug to take power from it. This cuts the...

    Australian Museum of Squatting.

    Hey guys!

    Hey Gargamel, definately the best character in the smurfs, other than that cat. You seem well travelled, I'd be interested in your experiences in Romania and Hungary, I'm heading over to that part of the world in a year from now.

    Potential adelaide squat.

    This has potential if any group of squatters wanted to move in and push out the existing squatters. Not the best area, but at least you're close to the airport ::troll:: Residents angry over ‘dumping, drugs and danger’ in government’s abandoned Camden Park unit block John Stokes Guardian...

    Max Stirner

    I was surprised that a search came up with nothing when I typed in Stirner's name. Apart from the fact that he is a well known figure in Anarchism, he is, perhaps more importantly, the first (that I know of) to espouse views of Individualist Anarchism. Individidualist Anarchism, that glorious...

    which boots?

    Vintage mountaineering boots or solid european hiking boots are excellent, there are certain caveats with that statement though: They take a while to break in, they're really warm so ideal for winter or alpine conditions but terrible for warm weather, they take ages to dry if they get soaked...

    Why being a 'drunk punk' and an 'anarchist' don't actually go together...

    I think you're always going to get that though, at least in any loose community of homeless people. People shouldn't claim some sort of moral highground because they booze and take drugs, but I think they have every right to drink and use drugs. I've never understood the straightedge mentality...

    I'm not telling anyone they have to smoke, drink and take drugs, was just commenting that this thread is being a bit puritanical.

    Why being a 'drunk punk' and an 'anarchist' don't actually go together...

    I agree that alcoholics and junkies can be a problem (though some of the staunchest people I've known have been junkies), and it's not desirable to be dependant on anything, but you can drink and take drugs in moderation. I don't take drugs or smoke but I drink reasonably often, get drunk...

    Soon to be Vagabond!

    Well dearie, a car is pretty convenient, you always have somewhere to sleep, can always charge phones etc, can carry water for washing and a bucket to wash in. Travelling without a car brings a lot more freedom and a lot more discomfit. Only you can really answer that one, what style of travel...

    It's a good country alright, very relaxed people and easy winters. The US looks pretty nice too, same as Aust. desert, tropics, forest, beaches, all in the one country. Cool summers, trout fishing, poaching. Mountain shack is epic that's for sure. It's a bit rough though, pit toilet and still...

    Hello, looking through this site, seems to lack Australians. Shame! Done a fair bit of squatting, hitching. Happy to answer questions regarding that sort of thing from an Australian perspective. Interested in minimalist solar. Have a mountain shack that I visit irregularly. Will travel in...
