Well if you end up biking thru roseville area on the way down, hmu.

Had some heart problems cause a delay, but I've Been training myself by biking 10-20 miles at a time, definitely still planning this trip, but want to make sure I'm prepped and ready. Not to mention my bike isn't equipped to tour. Atleast not right now. My rims are starting to split and I need...

But seriously, If you don't feel safe, then bounce. Don't trust anybody, even if you feel you can trust someone, don't. That's not saying you can't be civil, but learn to sleep with your eyes open. If you don't give them a chance to do you wrong, you'll be o.k. Overall tho, if you treat everyone...

@alexxx Take a tip from the champ.

That vid is from union square in nyc

@7xMichael I should be spread on toast, because I am jelly. But seriously, congrats, that sounds like a dream come true.

If I'm to be honest. A penny board is NOT the board I'd take on a trip like what you've described, and personally i dont think it qualifies as a long board, You'll find when your pack's fully loaded, that small of a wheel base/deck to be precarious. Further, penny boards are a bit flashy, and...

Out of curiosity, what's your gear list like? And what board you taking with you?

Sooo, here's an update, I did some research and figured I should be safe rather than sorry, and learn to sail solo before I bother finding a vessel of my own. I've narrowed down what school I'm going to take my intro classes at, now the fun part, saving up $. For anybody who doesn't know that...

If you plan on being coastal the whole trip and crashing out on/near the beach. I'd take the 0 degree bag, those coastal winds bring lots of cold ocean mists/gusts.

You should give a listen to Rodrigo y Gabriela. Their self-title is fire.

I can tell you one thing, most every college will get your new home towed away if you park on campus. Which would probably agitate your financial position much more then needed. If you have a 24 hour store or gym near by tho, you can post up in a van there as long as you are a customer, but you...

It's a 21 and up event. Weekend passes are $40. Just FYI.

Well, after much deliberation, I'm going to have to sell my current ride. No way I can get enough cargo on this beast of a racer to make it northbound. Hoping to buy a new bike, one more tour/cargo friendly since I think I'm going to make it a slow trip, and want to be able to haul a bit of...

Can somebody please pin this thread? I'd been looking at camping stoves all morning and this beauty basically mimics the best stove currently on the market for ultralite gear, (evernew Titanium alcohol stove) which is $99! Needless to say this can-stove is an important money saver for any...

Well I'm going to start getting the logistics figured out today. While I can, I'm going to hang around my town for a few weeks, since I was offered a temporary place to sleep indoors, and gotta buy some new gear before attempting this. If I make this a bike tour, I'll need a lot of cash for...

I actually own a guitar, but it's an Inherited '69 classical, wouldn't risk it out on the road, sentimental value and it's delicate. I don't want to sound rude here, and I mean no offense to all you beautiful people that feel the need to do so, but I do not condone begging when at all...

Update for whom it may concern, My job has been put on hiatus, so it's time to trip up to portland to visit my aunt and try to get work there so I can focus more intently on my glass art studies. Plan to be back on the hunt for a houseboat ASAP, hope to be setup, and melting glass in Portland...

Ahoy, so in summary, I'm doing a bike/longboarding tour from Sacramento, CA to Portland, OR. As of yet, I haven't hitched, hopped, tramped or toured. I've been locked in a metropolitan setting, living nomadicaly since the age of 15, with a 1 year hiatus to try out my "friends" advice of being...

When preparing a pack, for any journey, you should always prepare it, double check "essentials"(which constantly change upon the journey), then cut that in half. If you can, keep at least 3 methods to make fire, 2 extra bandanas, a small folding mirror and unwaxed dental floss with a curved...

Small update: Today I got messaged back about a houseboat for sale for $1. Description stated it has dry rot. Not sure of the extent of the damage, or if It'd be worth the work/expense to fix, or if I could even fix it. Alas, I'm going to continue my quest, and call the gentlemen selling it...

You can get an old macbook (Like all white plastic one) for under or near $100, and It'll let you run MOST mac programs. Downside, it's stuck on OS X 10.6.4 Also might help if we knew what style music you plan on making.

These are so rad, I wish I could find property or someone willing to rent property to me in my area, because I have access to crazy amounts of second hand or sometimes just extra unused construction material. @couchissatan that looks super legit, I can't imagine that trailer under the home was...

Well, matt, after looking into it quite a bit more extensively, my multihull/mobile glass studio dream might be a bit too ambitious, both in price and realistic functionality. I'm thinking that a houseboat, or something similar might better suit my needs/wants. Ultimately I'd like to be able to...

Well, Upon doing some studying, and realistic thinking, I've decided it's time to start small, for even the largest jungle starts with a seed. While I do have quite large plans for the future, currently it's time to learn to crawl. (Or sail as the case may be) As of this post, I have no home...

Thats good to know.

Ahoy, I've recently been entertaining the idea(and quite intently I might add)of saving up money, getting my ASA certifications and Trying to get work in either tahoe or maybe the sac delta, I specifically hope to ultimately acquire a metal multi hull vessel (of rather large size, and needing a...

Hello, I'm just so glad to have found this resource, as it's quite a relief to find other like minds. Well, long story short, I'm at the end of my teenage years, and upon some serious soul searching, coupled with plenty of lonely nights, I've found myself run-a-ground, both mentally and...
