The laws are spastic on this issue. They vary in the extreme between states. Open container laws can apply even in an RV (which have no special registration in many states) no matter where it is. It can be considered an "open container in public" in some states since you are not "home". Open...

Very nice! For those who care, I might mention that at that power there are potential long-term health concerns about the placement of the antenna. You might want to place it as far from people in the vehicle as you can to mitigate that (again, if you care much...not everyone does). It will...

I might suggest that Freetown Christiana was a bit closer to AnCap than mutualist and that Catalonia was expressly an effort to be Anarcho-Syndicalist, not mutualist (though most left anarchists do try to "claim" Catalonia, don't we). However, I'm totally with you on the notion that it isn't...

It's noy my cup of tea, but to help out, I believe @Mutualist means more like https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutualism_(economic_theory)

I was going to comment about our rig, but I travel with @bluebadgerblue who described our rig beautifully already! :D We've though about a CB as well. I'm interested to find out if other people get good use out of one.

I've slept under "No Overnight Camping" signs plenty of times in our cargo trailer. I've even been given tacit permission by shop owners when the signs were posted due to local laws. It's a bit of a blur. We try to stay outside the city since there is so much public land out there to stay on...

I'm basically an anarcho-communist, though I'm very particularly inspired by Murray Bookchin's libertarian municipalism/Communalism from within that school of thought.

1. I am not a pacifist. I will defend myself and my comrades. I also believe there is a time for violence. That said, violence is a dangerous thing. You cannot take it back, amd you may turn possible future comrades or bystanders into enemies. It doesn't fix much and can be a PR nightmare. Use...

We are finally here! Big red pickup and a white cargo trailer north of the main meeting area.

We'll be there soon. We were set upon by old friends for a while. So we are incidentally still a few miles away. Hope to see folks some time this weekend!

Fair disclosure, @bluebadgerblue and I travel together, so we've been around this and back (and have similar opinions). Never get pulled in front of a judge, and you won't have to worry about much! :) I'd add that if you talk about it anywhere on the 'net except here, you'll get buried in...

We do Walmarts when pressed a fair bit. Allstays.com has a list of most Walmarts in the country with reports on whether they let you sleep there. It takes some guesswork out of it. We mostly stick to boondocking because then we can go weeks without driving. If you don't look like much, you...

You gotta get out of New York! Everything is illegal there. In most of the West, hitching isn't illegal unless you are near a prison. I lived in Upstate NY for some 20 years (around Albany). I don't miss it. The easiest way to get a ride in Upstate NY that I found was to stand next to a...

@Matt Derrick ^^ that would be him

So funny thing, Bob Wells, who organizes the RtR and runs CheapRVLiving.com was just visiting our camp today, and he said he'd give you a ride if you want to come. He is very interested in discussing Squat the Planet, the community around it and other stuff with you on the way.

I or @bluebadgerblue could easily do a write up now, @Matt Derrick It's low key and a mixed bunch of folks.

I'll be there with my wife @bluebadgerblue !!! We were there last year and loved it. We live in a cargo trailer with a big red truck...and you can't miss our hair and our kid. Say hi if you all come!

It must be awesome to be able to travel across countries as quick as we travel between states. I'm jealous of you guys for that...but I bet it has its own serious drawbacks, so not that jealous. As for getting up the guts, I have no idea. I already lived on the street back when I was...

Among the other things I've done, I have a Master's in Library Science and have worked in many libraries. Bring up vagabonds and the homeless in a room full of librarians and you'll get as diverse a bunch of opinions as you may have had experiences of libraries...funny that. Don't worry, I...

Thanks everyone for the welcomes! I don't know if we will make it to the Jamboree at this point, but you never know! We did make it to the Rubber Tramp Rendezvous this year, and that was awesome. I imagine the Slabs are pretty cozy in October. About pics, the website listed on my profile...

Yup that was us!

Nice to meet everybody! I'm a 39 year old computer programmer and part time sideshow performer who was tired of being broke while living a normal life due to huge debts, and I decided to be happy instead while living on the road with the love of my life and her daughter in a cargo trailer some...
