Awesome.. that’s about 90 miles SE of me. I’m up in north middle Itasca county

Tramping, not “trapping”...

NZ is awesome, by far my favorite. www.helpx.net and you with have a roof n a full belly for 4hrs of gardening or whatever. I traveled all over the South Island n places on the north. Your right about the poison but DOC posts everywhere before they drop it in. Trapping permit for full use of the...

Way back when, I had a thread on here always blamerin’ on about living in the brush. I’ve been all over Missouri, Minnesota, Wisconsin searching n chillin on public land. Lived off the land In an underground shelter in Minnesota for a grip. I’ve been on the road since I was 16 n now I’m forty...

Right where I’m at. Paddle in only, off grid, self sustained n a visitor early now n them. Total off grid n went legit n got my own setup. Now nobody can boot me off.. northern minnesota

Pieced together.. The roof is that white tyvek house wrap n garbage bags laid out like shingles. So far dry. The frame is recycled lumber and the walls are spruce saplings.. Windows were free.. Working on rain water catchment and a small stove so I can fire up the canning of venison. I'm also...

Here u go jaguwar

Well three months later and I'm out n about. Camp is banging but boring now that the work is done. Just getting things geared up for winter now. About 75 gallons of water stored so I don't have to walk to the spring every day. Deer season is approaching and I'm ready to harvest . Been looking at...

A few years ago I was living up in Minnesota in an underground hideout. I left for the slabs and west coast for the second winter and it all caved in on my gear. Everything was mold and wet. It wasn't bad when your there keeping it dry n shit.. I don't trust the underground. I say though, it was...

I've got my rubber tramping chariot! Plates are expired now but I'm back roads anywhere in need to go

Hey. Found a new place and spent the last few days scouting a camp. I think I'm close to being up n rolling again. Little more secluded and water access only is what I think I found. Gonna be in town for a day or two.

Lived awhile in a Mazda van. Built a raised bed and stored my shit under it. Whole back was pretty much bed n bins. If it gets slightest bit cold, everything gets condensation all over it. The wet destroys everything n the mold hides in mysterious places. A little heater helps but then ur...

Get a small piece of board. Tie your line to one side of the board that would go to your hook n bait. The other side of the board, attach a wire through the board about in the middle but at the end of the board and tie your line to that. Need a river for the current to ski it out in.. Walk away...

Thanks all. Think I found my next spot. N it might be legit. hmm can I handle not being slightly stealthy and pissing on "the man".. Lol. It's fairly close to the rail as well but requires me to work a certain amount of hours everyday in trade . One more freedom place to check before and start...

I have a wood stove for it too. The fabric is like pulling apart in spots. Think it's from sun exposure or something. It's canvas and made slot of years ago

Heck yah.. Used to stay in an underground shelter but it collapsed, then did the tarp tipi thing. Then scored this big ass tent from a guy after cutting a few truck loads of firewood in trade. Love it. Have some winter picks of it as well. It's getting pretty weathered now n might have to figure...

Paul.. It's a possibility depending how things pan out. I started in the bush, learned some stuff, went on the rails for awhile then went back to the brush. Nobody fucks with you in the brush. Out of sight out of mind. Well, mostly nobody fucks with you. Gypsy.. Most difficult thing to face...

Hey all. Made it about a year living in the brush without outside influence. Last week my camp was found by mushroom pickers that reported me to the local law. They came out and made me tear down my home and shitter. Had to pull roots and head back down the road. Looking for a new place. I'm in...

I've found one that's wet n not very big. It's at the head of a spring. Also found like an old dugout or something, it's all caved in but hand hewn supports n what not. Need a metal detector. Building above the ground in the pines n cedars not down ;).

Ok found wifi. Laying low in southern MO in the Ozarks. Found a place on public land that has limited access, plenty of wild goodies, mild weather in winter, fresh water spring, cedar trees to build under to stay out of sight & farms n civilization about 5 miles away. Looking for other like...

Anything on this? Interested if it's not another pipe dream. Also ready to launch. Dough n tools.

So any forward movement on this? Spot picked out? How many members? Keep us interested up to date for when the time comes, people can make the final decision..

"found that a 4-way key for water faucets is a very handy thing to have." Lol you would never think of this till u need one.. I traded for one of these years ago and still cherish it like a lump of gold.. This and a gerber multi tool are my two favs..

What Benny said. Learn it now when you can make mistakes and still go back to mom n dads and eat, get warm, and sleep in clean sheets. Learn busk'n/fly a sign/, eat a few road kills, do some dumpstering, go campin in the rain, get wasted and tell people you have a 100$ in your pocket and they...

Wisconsin/Minnesota seems like they are everywhere. I used to stash stuff in them is how I first seen this. Corn dragged out by the tree rats and munched on top. Turkeys come around for whatever is laying around and dinner is served.. Maybe the barrels are not "everywhere" but seem to be. Rail...

Some dandies Doobie

At what stage is this project and have u relocated yet? Prior military here with a medical background. Just ended a couple year bush stay cuz the shelter collapsed and the loggers found me on paper mill land. Looking for a place to start over. Five years of wilderness living in the Midwest...

I'm pretty sure there are some laws against catching a turkey without a license, but the most easy and simple method involves a 50 gallon drum. Without a gun or traps of course. Not that I carry one with me but they are everywhere along the rails where I am at. So are the birds. I go to the...

Morel mushrooms are the bomb.. Perfect time to start looking for these in your travels. They are easy to identify and awesome eats. They only have one vaguely similar shroom that can cause u issues but its easy to tell them apart. The easiest way to tell the false from the true variety, is to...

Would be cool to build one from drums, Metal or plastic I wonder.. seems though plastic would be easier to work with. Getting ready to hit the road but will follow posts. Hit me up if you decide to hit the south pacific on some junk. I would be in in a heart beat. Matt wats your future boat...

I second travelin's comment.. But your more then likely gonna blow it off and not take the advise becuz u wanna get clear and free from those family bonds.. I am not familiar with the Houston area so not a lot of help to yah unless u come to the northern Midwest at this time. Find a traveling...

Roadkill Eating roadkill. Some people turn up their noses at this. So starve. If done right, roadkill can provide an free meal. every young brat ive ever seen on the road will damn near destroy their car to have the 5 second glory of squishing a critter. Part of the philosophy of travel is to...

Unfortunately, the days of simply cupping your hands cowboy style into a creek for a safe drink of water are over. Water purification is no longer just for water sources that look questionable; you should use some type of purification before drinking from any water source in the wilds. You ask...

didnt see your second post before i startd to babble. you got the idea but just remember, more is better when it comes to drinking stagnant nonmoving water. i had girardia once and shit my guts out till i got to a hospital. not bad if your in town but i was about 12 miles from the nearest road...

the frontiersmen died from rabbit starvation cause they didnt follow the native way of thinking. there is little or no fat in most wild game, its really lean. the natives would supplement with eating the organs of the animal along with the meat and thats how they got buy. some people wisened up...

pond water will be ok for the crops

gotta be careful with pond water. all kinds of nasties in there. you can boil it for ten minutes to kill almost everything in the water but then you have hot water to cool before use. i would first strain it through cheese cloth or what ever you got to get rid of the chunks, boil it, then if you...

Wilderness Survival: Free info covering all aspects of survival. heres the military versions of survival to help with the basics. its pretty good, just get out there and fuck shit up is how you learn though.

Sorry all, found out that the law doesnt like people like me telling them their down falls... anyways, im back and here to talk shelter, when i first started, i quickly learned that shelter was one of the main needs for survival. without it, you are cold and miserable, sunburnt and exposed. you...

this is the first step to living in these conditions. unless your in an area where there are no weather changes, cold, heat, wet....the earths temp is a constant 52 degrees. you been in them on your urban exploring trips. the rain gutters and sewers under the roads and byways. its cool in the...

When i first decided to move into the woods, i had a general knowledge of how to survive for a period of time that allowed a person to be rescued. Hell, i taught these classes to a youth military auxillary group called civil air patrol. i was a member long before i went into the military and for...

I'm getting ready for travels and want to like up with some fellow kids. I've lived in the woods for the last 4 years and have developed a method to my madness that i would like to share with those that want to learn. i have never been questioned on what im doing, ive never been located by...
