Nah you should have the right to ask why they need to know certain bits of information. If they can't give you a fair answer then there's plenty of other co-ops out there.

So we should let them build the pipelines? Okay, cool...

I don't think complete destruction of this system would be possible because it's a direct reflection of human pack-mind mentality, at its very source code per-say. It would take a literal act-of-god or equal catastrophe to uproot the established powers that be. Past humanity's own conscious...

You know, I have spent a lot of time thinking about this exact scenario. Perhaps not specifically related to the Sabal Trail, but this would be of course related to Standing Rock. Begging the question why haven't the Sioux and other entities simply take arms and run the local government off of...

I live for the momentary escapes. It's impractical for me to completely ditch society at the moment, but perhaps one day if we reach "fuck it"

Do it... I feel very much the same way, but fortunately things have been on the upturn in terms of jawbwerk here -sigh- stuck for another year or two. Oh well... time enough to get my rubber tramping wanderlust rig together proper. It's beautiful that you're taking your friend out of there, I...

Easiest way to accomplish this would be a global wifi manager app. Ahem, you just wouldn't want to put specifically your private network up there.

Extreme climates have always fascinated me - whether or not I would travel through them or even live in them I've done some considerations. Mainly the deserts and arid regions of the world tickle my wanderlust. IF I was to live out there, I would do as was said above and burrow, at least...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, You are one of the most amazing people I've had the pleasure meeting on this site, everything you do for people is incredibly self-less and appreciated. Thank you for being here. :)

Do you need a place to park while you work on it? Meaning you'll also need power for tools + space to work and lay stuff out while you build it? I think the best option would be having an agreement with someone who owns a patch of farm land that might be open to that, maybe in return for work...

Pretty much. It is concerning though when large nationalist movements begin to acquire authority and with it begin to affect others by whatever extremist beliefs they have.

I am the joint faerie.

Welcome, future vandweller/overlander here. Looking forward to seeing and hearing what you have to share?

As far as trekking, hiking and work - my $8 skull candy ear buds from walmart have been exceptional. I've even put them through the wash a few times accidentally and still not a single problem. I say if your planning on hoofing it rough and light, cheap and practically disposable ear buds are...

Atlas straps are pretty versatile, you can get them on an overhead beam and it will work okay.

I think the worst health affliction I've seen on the street was this poor soul who had some form of flesh eating bacteria or otherwise degenerative infection in his legs to the point he would probably require an amputation. This was in the shadow of the Trump tower in the middle of Chicago...

Welcome to StP and exactly. To hell with the societal expectation of only living to work only to spend money on things we don't even need. Capitalism is only another form of a cage.

Don't worry, I'll compromise the security perimeter of the internment camp with [Redacted, need to know] and maybe some more [Redacted, need to know.]

I am so fucking surprised \s If anything though, the release of this would hopefully be treated as evidence in HRC's ongoing investigation. Or so we think. I don't believe the establishment powers can take their only horse out of the race. Trump is a wildcard and Bernie is considered radical...

Okay, so update. I bought this battery a few weeks ago before my road trip and it performed stupidly awesomely. With the exception of two caveats. (1) It gets warm, because the case is metal it conducts the heat from the sun to the battery cells, but the trade off is it cools better when...

For the record, I don't support your reasons for wanting to go off the grid. If you wish to discuss this, it will need to be elsewhere. However I will try to answer the questions you have to the best of my ability. Your concern: The collapse of society Here are the considerations...

See the part of the problem with America is we have private property rights but with strings attached. It'd be cool for anyone harmless to go about roaming, trust me it's not about fear. I've done plenty of personal roaming and wandering through all kinds of properties growing up and even now...

That it does. And on that note, are you looking for any piece of gear in particular before you set out? Welcome to StP.

Take a look a the creepy tech patent google just filed for: ================== http://www.forbes.com/sites/aarontilley/2016/04/28/google-device-eyeball/#46d0b4854141 Google has a penchant for far-out tech that never reaches the market. The latest is a method of injecting an device into an...

Nice, this painfully reminds me I must fill the void of not having a good trail dog in my life soonish. I really miss my last dog-bro.

Hell, on the topic of being global as @Tude mentions, there's no one saying where you can't go and I'd certainly consider expatriating. It's so much cheaper to live in South America, I myself am still doing a lot of homework on the region so I can't really be pointed to as an expert. However, I...

Welcome to StP, sucks you got thrown out not on your own turns but you'll survive. I've been surprised of what people have been capable of. Anyway, you're making a good first step -- getting connected. Here you're going to find a lot of resources to get ideas from and on top of that...

Yep. At any point a person wishes to add more convenience to their life - they sacrifice security. It's like building a house, but giving more and more doors and windows. I'm not really active on social media, aside from the book of faces. I don't partake in the whole...

Fortunately you can transfer or find ebooks for most popular tabletop rpg games. So all one would need to carry is a tablet, but it will require a charger. Still, much less weight than carrying around books. I would probably just have a physical scratchpad for extra notes.

Happy to see another rubber tramp here. Welcome! Hope I could ask you a few questions when I get around to buying a vehicle and building it out (still padding a budget)

I've been oogling at this portable battery for my kit https://www.monoprice.com/product?c_id=108&cp_id=10831&cs_id=1083110&p_id=14576&seq=1&format=2

I'm developing a little, nefarious tool that actively and automatically audits 802.11/IoT tech. Hoping these findings will push people to learn and adapt methods of electronic encryption. Otherwise, they risk everything. I'm still skeptical of kitchen appliances becoming widely network. I could...

I think because it's a co-op effort to invite people on to the land to help the natives document their case and as extra hands to help with livestock in return for a place to stay.

There needs to be more video of these pigs abusing indigenous people. Nothing will spark rage on the internet moreso than that. It would certainly damage the government's and that particular mining firm's reputation.

That being said, should one choose to install anything, they have that ability to modify or change it. Also with the concern with all of the driverless cars, there's a huge concern for safety and another open door for attackers to just make people dead and have it look like a complete...

Welcome to StP and safe travels. Lots of great information here. Like you, I also feel trapped and am working on hatching my escape plan. It's gonna piss people off, but I've learned to accept that fact and go with "me" Anyway, lots of great information here to help you along the way!

I'll be honest, this thread did make me tear up a little. May your kitty rest in peace :'(. I am still sad about my first dog passing last year.

Get the license and maybe get back out by rubber tramping?

I've had this idea floating in the back of my head for rubber tramping, it's pretty simple. Taking a page from couch surfing, it would be cool to have a service where people could host driveways or their parking lots for rubber tramps, places where they could park for free and clear of...

<3 The Distillers

Commercial flight as in... cargo plane?

Awesome, welcome to STP

Yep, and I'm one to talk because I don't do it enough, but these skills do require practice. The more you expand your knowledge, the better if not enjoyable time you're going to have crustsurfing Mother Nature.

It depends on where you're staying but these would be the most ideal pointers. (1) Stay dry. That includes sweating. Don't bundle up so much that you are sweating endlessly. It will act as a conduit and the heat will be sapped away from you. If you can afford it, get water/sweat wicking...

I'll try to contribute any findings from research when I'm up all night tonight, lol. Otherwise, I guess that makes sense in a sort of sledge hammer + glass window way. Shock the brain with a huge dopamine rush as a sort of reset. And yea, there are a lot of "ego-killing" effects I've seen and...

That sounds like a very, very extreme form of care. I'd be worried about patients forming a dependency on MDMA in order to regain their natural behaviors. Very interesting though.. have any more info on that?

Welcome to StP! Looking forward to stories.

I found another site that specifically lists free wifi spots. Thanks to r/vandwellers https://meshable.io/map

Never had to really put up with warts, but I'll store this in my mind somehow for future use...

I use the phrase "It's a date" all of the time with friends and strangers as well. I definitely try to make sure the other party knows that I am asking them out with the intent of dating, usually after I've established I like them.
