My pack is similar to the Wolfpack 65. And do be careful of putting to much weight in it. In time you may be able to carry a bit more easier, depending on your type of travel. Most recommend not to exceed 50 pounds. My first pack I kept around 25-30, now my pack ( I just weighed it) 84 pounds...

Here are some guideline for eating wild plant life. In most situations, if you don't know what a plant is, don't eat it. You can live 3 weeks or more without food. You can live a lot less long with poison in your system. Only eat wild plants if you have devoted a good deal of time to studying...

Step 1 Use the shadow stick method During the day, try the shadow stick method. Find a stick about three feet tall and put it in a flat piece of ground with no greenery nearby. Mark the end of its shadow with a rock. Wait 30 minutes, and mark the tip of the new shadow. The connecting line runs...

My story is almost the same, lost my wife and 2 kids in a crash, when I was 21. the day after my 22nd I walked out of my job and started walking down the highway, never went back. When the silence gets so deafening, I feel them close to me, can almost hear them. maybe i'm just crazy ............

Gratz!!! I leave in about 2 weeks for my long walk, a 2600 mile journey. Can't wait to read about your journey. :)

I was just talking to a good ol' boy and he was telling me that Oregon has the most ghost towns and abandoned towns in the US, upwards of 200 of them. Sounds like plenty of room for people.

I guess this was back in 2000 or 2001 that this happened. I was hitching between Pueblo Co and La Junta and kept hearing this mewing sound. I couldn't see anything so was starting to think I was loosing my mind. The sun was starting to go down and I decided to find me a spot to camp. After I...

Glad to be of help, helps if you have someone who can gauge how much of a piece you will need while you are wearing them, but if not take your time may take you a couple tries but i am sure you will get it.

I think I can help with that, first step is to cut the seam from the crotch to about 4 inches down each leg, more if you think you need more room, the patch piece you will need will be diamond shaped <> sew it in. simple as that

outside Tucson

I know they were just upset by not getting the guys they were after. I take it in stride and go on.

yep. i don't get lucky often but when i do its really good.

So this just happened. Sleeping soundly in my tent and I hear a commotion. I peek out and see a couple guys running by with cops on their ass. I think they got away but the cops came back to my spot and trashed everything, shredded my tent and tarps and took what they thought had value. Only...

Got my name from some old timers, like Boxcar Jim, Whistle Stop, and Maggie Rails, when I was new to riding rails, about 35 years ago. They gave me the name because I jumped train as easily as an antelope jumps a fence (can't do that anymore). Needless to say the name has stuck with me for many...

There was a time...long, long ago, a boy who became a man who had an itch. This itch was all he thought about for about...oh...10 minutes and hit I-5 with his thumb out. He never looked back. That is me. I have been to every state in the continental US riding rails or hitching. I don't mind...
