Wouldn't it be awesome if there existed giant eldritch deer ticks that were the size of a pully grown pig, but then when they fed off of enough prey items they could swell up to the size of a cargo van?

I like to cuddle rattlesnakes kept as pets. IMO, that's much safer than train hopping. I'm more confident that I'm not going to lose a limb with the rattlesnake than the train. Maybe if I ever do try train hopping, it might change my mind, assuming I do it unscathed. My little Nippy never so...

Train hopping is perhaps the cheapest way possible to get around long distances. I've never tried it, but I've always wanted to and the guides here are excellent. Anyhow, I have a story which was told to me that is not for the squeamish. If you are squeamish, or an animal lover, you may not want...

Overall, this is a good post, but I take issue with your assessment of trikes. I can cover more miles on a trike than ANY other type of bike in a day, and not even feel worn out. A trike can be fitted with gearing low enough to climb any hill. Mine has gearing that allows me to climb 25%...

Hello. I've lurked on this site a bit before joining, and I'm impressed with the wealth of knowledge and experiences available to peruse on this forum. I am planning to live off grid, and do some travelling. I'm far from being there yet. I have a job tieing me down and am helping to care for my...

I've been rear-ended by a truck while stopped at a light. I designed a rear bulkhead sufficiently sturdy that it saved me from injury. The tail section was all fucked up and I had to re-true the rear wheel, but I was able to source some used election signs and re-build the tail out of coroplast...

I built one. It is basically a microcar. It currently tops out at 45-50 mph on flat ground depending upon battery state of charge, and I get 150-200 miles range at 30-35 mph cruising speeds with a 1.5 kWh battery, the equivalent of 3,000-4,000 miles per gallon in terms of efficiency. Crossing...
