Thanks Tude :) im finding so much cool stuff on here already. I found this awesome book in the library called days of war nights of love thats really getting me inspired to start doing more things.
The House is called Faith house. A local church owns it and rents out rooms to younger people are are doing environmental work, social justice, community building or anything in between. The church subsidizes the rent so its a cheap place to live right in Sandy hill. They do lots of dumpster...
Hey everyone, I use to post on here several years ago but have been off the radar so thought I'd re-introduce myself.
I've always felt sorta stuck between two worlds. A few years ago, I was hitch hiking around and working on organic farms. I was really sick of society and basically wanted to...
You get better at finding spots once ya start doing it a few times. I use to suck now I tend to always find decent spots. One of my first times out hitchhiking rolled into a new town and it was already dark just ended up sleeping under a tree in a park (no tent just with blanket). Anyways, got...
Yeah, my dad was telling me when he got out of college he could afford a car, rent a 3 bedroom house and still have enough money to go out a little working a job earning just a bit more then minimum wage. Times have changed for sure. The big killer is rent..I'm visiting Toronto right (and can't...
Thats so cool ! I just got to know their stuff while hitchhiking and travelling for the first time these last couple weeks. Met a punk freight hopping gal who gave me a copy of days of war nights of love.
Just wanted to link something out, maybe someone can put these books/zines in the STP library. These are fucking rad, these have really opened my eyes to things, shaped my way of thinking. Check out days of war nights of Love especially. All books can be ordered for cost of shipping + printing...
I wish I could come but I don't have the skills yet. I am learning tho, taking courses and spending most of summer outside. I will follow tho, maybe in the future !
A good one for the bartender
What's the difference between you and a zebra ?
A zebra's got a bunch of bars and an asshole.
You got a bar and a bunch of ass holes
If your in Ottawa and looking for gear, check out irvings rivers in byward market. Just bought canadian army bivy and other gear there for good price. Plus owners are nice and will help you out.
Thanks for sharing your experience with this bag. I decided to order it. I have this wool army blanket, im getting a seamstress to use it to make a sleeping bag liner. Also, I've got an emergency blanket at the bottom of my bag, if it gets a bit chilly will pull it out like you suggested...
I just discovered jungle sleeping bags, their seems to be a very good one by snugpak, and also British and French Military issue.
Most sleeping bags are to warm for me in summer and even spring and fall. This seems perfect, reviews say you sleep warm in 5C, and with liner and proper...
I like hard work actually, I do a job for me not the man paying me. Work hard for a bit, then I can relax, not work and do whatever I want to do for an extended period of time because I can live simply and dont require a lot of money. I like what you can do with money, although I know its just...
My dad took me when I was a kid once. We ended up semi lost, their was swarms of mosquito's and snakes all over the place. And we didn't find any gold but it was a good adventure
I am going through the same indecisions about life, and the fact that what I want seems so different from everyone else, especially parents/family. Surprisingly I read a book called "zorba the greek" and it helped me calm my over thinking and analyzing mind. Maybe check it out if you got free...
I will be trying it also, if it keeps you warm and toasty in Alaska must pretty good for anywhere else in an emergency. The two space blankets can basically fit in your pocket so its nothing to carry really.
Walking is one of my favourite things to do. Recently on a walk I found an orchard that's about 20km from my house. I would take the bus about halfway there then walk to the orchard. Sit down, read a book, talk to myself and relax and bit then load my back pack with apples, and walk back home...
Maybe go to BC? When I was in the navy I got sent to esquimalt which is near Victoria for a few weeks during January. I think the coldest it got was around 5C, which I thought was perfect sweater weather :)
I think we moved around the various ones in town. My first day we were in a smaller market in Beachwood village I think the place was called. I've been here for a year, so don't know how it looked by the stadium before, but from what I saw place looked fancy and had a bunch of restaurents.
I was working at a place called farm team cook house. Absolutely disgusting place, don't eat there. Just got this gig at this place that makes pizzas in the farmers market and catering events. Its cool, everything is fresh and made from scratch and we cook the pizzas in a portable wood burning...
Hey, Nice to see someone else from Ottawa! I'm heading out next summer as well. For packing, i'd say have a look at this and pack somewhat along those lines except for the military items, Cheer.
