'In the very depth of his being, not merely in word but in deed, he has broken every connection with the social order and with the whole educated world, with all the laws, appearances and generally accepted conventions and moralities of that world which he considers his ruthless foe. Should he...

Are you talking to ZE DOLPHIN?! Does he call you at HOOM?! He is saying "Eee ee-eee!" And you are saying "Ee-ee-eeee. Ee ee."?

Water in short supply? Isopropyl alcohol on a wad of cloth or TP. Dab where the sun doesn't shine and other funky areas.* Now you're knockin out some of that aromatic bacteria. *probably not in that order though

You get what you pay for. I own a pair of 7 dollar canvas shoes from walmart. Their weaknesses show after no time, then you bust out your super glue and try to get that insole back from whence it came. Look for comfortable athletic/casual shoes that have THICK SOLES. PUMA ROMAs should be...

Yeah, dude. What's your deal? Permanent Slab City resident (for the most part)? Only the strong survive. But, like you said: ACCLIMATION is the word. I feel like WATER is the be-all / end-all to colonization. I've seen 26 gallon portable cisterns. Military surplus, for sale, online They...

I wasn't biking, but i went to a lil music festival, and i forgot a mess kit / metal pot (to boil water for coffee). Just cut the top off an aluminum pint can, and that was enough to make it happen. (My campstove is very small.) I usually regret it if i forget bug spray. That is a must...

People totally do that... Even itinerant workers and what's left of travelling-salesmen of sorts have been known to purchase junkers for a few hundred stones, drive them where they need to go, and then abandon them. I imagine that the more skill one has as a mechanic, the more success one might...

Gross. Ancient gnostics would say that there is no sin, only ignorance. Stoics would say that it isn't THE EVENT, but how we JUDGE the event. I say Fuck Em. Maybe one day they go to pull their guns, and some alert traveler already has his trained on them. Life is so random. Death as well.

Where do you get your waters from? (Also, i like you & Matt's YouTube videos. Keep that goin. They make things more real, and keep the dream of escape ALIVE. :)

*spare... i meant 'spare'. Booklearnin.

The militaristic nature of the United States provides its civilian market with plentiful surplus goods and equipment. These pouches come in various sizes, will resist SOME rainfall, and can easily be attached to backpacks, bicycles, and hipbelts.

Unfortunately, the only way to get used to a heavy pack is to... just get used to it. People that train for long distance thru-hikes (like the Appalachian Trail) might load their packs with books, or water containers, to get used to carrying 50-60 lbs. of weight on the back. Never...

No way. You're not crazy, man. Countless times I've considered ditching my deadend job and hitting the road. Never does the wanderlust leave you. Get it while you can. Often considered how much money i could save if i stopped giving half of it to a landlord, and instead just started camping...

Surly tires are heavy. 1000 monetary units will get you a good bicycle (+ a spair intertube, and a portable pump). Try smaller shops, bike coops, or fuckin Craigslist; never know when you'll find a 'diamond in the rough'. I've only had Treks. They're awesome, and can take a beating. I think my...

'Politics is bunk'

---> Anarchism, in the philosophical sense, could be seen as drifting into the spectrum of right-wing politics at times. It appears this way because Anarchism promotes (and in many ways, demands) independence and self-reliance. Often Anarchist theory resembles Nietzsche-esque principles...

Cool. You should go for it. Require new people you meet to earn your trust. Be wary of men. You should seek female companions... yes. And rove the uncharted shroud like the Amazon tribes of yore! Go 4th! Huzzah!

Yea. That's right. Sunburn sucks. I got pretty roasted a few weeks back. Once you're cooked, the best remedy is those aloe gels, found everywhere. I proclaim that the best will have LIDOCAINE included in the ingredients (- and ALOE VERA, I would hope).

Sweet. Got any pics of that baddad?

Is it.... 'Bonaroo'? Music festival in Tennessee?

Yea. The Midwest is pretty close-minded when it comes to unprofitable wanderlust. Good luck out there. It's tornado season.

♧

Oh. No. I'm not on there. I do like getting attention sometimes, but I don't love technology enough to commit to a long-term...

No. Why? ...did you see someone that looks like me on there?

Is that... Cinco de Mayo¿ Or Tuesdays in the school cafeteria?

Wait..... this was... years ago. (Sad face)

Jealous about your east wind visit. I've been curious about that intentional community for years. I'm up in des moines. Lemme know what you think, if it goes down. I hold positive expectations for that one.

This summer?

That's awesome. I always wanted to hike the Appalachian Trail. I think you're near the southern trailhead. It's akin to an odyssey. ...now that I think about it, this is about the time people start trekking north (for a complete thru-hike), to be on the trail for 4 or 5 months. Wow.

Bicycles are cheap. I find decent posts on Craigslist sometimes. You could spend less than 200 stones (not including panniers/saddlebags), and come away with a decent middle-o-the-road bike. Other resources include pawn stores, or thrift stores and flea markets. Bicycles are more easily...

Hey, budday! Where'd you take that picture at? What about a bicycle, with cargo bags? Slower than a car, but simpler. Camp along the way. >check out the bike threads

Billy likes to drink soda.

Fat Tire is good.

Very Sad Day. I had to bury my friend today. A beautiful place in the forest, where you hear the sound of the river, and birds fly overhead. I always found peace there, and now he will too.

JOE HILL

That author also wrote two follow-up books. Another good one is 'Travels With Lizbeth'. It is very real. (Different author)

I develop illogical anger towards bloodsucking mosquitoes at times. If I had a steadier hand and a jeweler's loupe, I'd fashion miniature crucifixes and post the lil bodies of the bugs I've killed around my tent. And let that be a lesson to the other would-be parasites! .....yea, I use a tent...

Cool. Which way are you thinking?

-wait... so does your guy ever wander off? Explore your camp perimeters? What if he's hunting bird, and you have to bug out of your camp or something...? : ( Have you ever gotten separated?

That tie is priceless

(*notice he's inside... Cmdr. Meow-Meow thinks he's tough, but he's a pussy.)

Dude, your shit is the bomb. Really inspired by those bucket panniers. I wanna craft some for my bike. They seem optimal. Um, even MORE inspired by your pics. Jealous.

Bear Grylls, eat your heart out.

Temperate climate zone means roads get to' up.

Road bikes are good for roads. I always stray. There are lotsa off-road adventures, and train tracks for lil Robs... so Robs have mountain bikes or hybrids. NOTE- I remember reading about frame materials, and how a bike with a steel frame is easier to have repaired by weld, should it...

here's muh bike. She needs more cargo shtuff

This was 4 years ago. I wonder what happened.

are we...? are we becoming insects? only in the past few generations, in the last century, has it come to be that a greater percentage of people on the globe live in cities & metropoli, as opposed to farms & rural settings. it's interesting to equate the bustling cities to insect hives...
