Hey Ivan. I'm Preston. Taurus the Bull. I've hitched the country but never caught a train ....

I'm planning on hitting road again 1st or 2nd week of August. Currently in Corbin Kentucky. If you get down this way, hit me up. Looking for a road dog myself. So much easier having someone else's back. Text: 606-545-3478

Been watching videos on the AT. There are some good ones on youtube. The girl "homemade wanderlust" has done all 3 in North America. She's a triple crown hiker. Check her out. Good luck!

Hey man and welcome! I love the mountains, all mountains, but especially ... the Appalachias. I was born and raised there. Southeastern Kentucky. Small town named Barbourville. I was just thinking today how great it would be to forage for the morels right now, as they are in season. Also, this...

First 4 or 5 seconds appears to be messed up. This was my buddy encountering a Class III. We done this for fun, but I would strongly recommend that if you kayak or raft as a means of travel, that you always familiarize yourself with your river. Research the river by name and find out about the...

Just below Cumberland Falls, Corbin KY ... From this point down to Noe's Dock (10 Miles) consists of many Class III & IV rapids. This of course, was done without carrying any type of camping gear.

A friend and I successfully floated a 74-mile section of the Cumberland River in southeast Kentucky in just 2 days. 10 hours paddling (off and on) per day. The first 70 miles was basically slow but steady paddling, with the last 4 consisting of Class II rapids. (Shoals) We were carrying quite a...

Rip up the Greyhound ticket and hitch....?

Agree with "MarsOrScars".... I've had my $20.00 Wal-Mart Skull Candy ear buds for 2 years now. Have dropped em in water a few times as well. Still work perfectly fine. And to me, they seem louder than most buds in this price range.

Hey man and welcome! Lots of good reading here, you just have to dig in. I can tell you from experience that you should try to keep as low-key as possible when you have something to drink. Try to avoid crowds. I too, enjoy drinking. But I would suggest that you try keeping as low-key as possible...

Great story with pictures! Keep 'em coming!

Good Morning and welcome Mark! This site has lots of great reads and info. While I have been through Wyoming and Montana several times, I have yet to see Yellowstone. It's on my list for sure. Maybe you can give us all an employee's perspective on what to expect when rolling through by thumb...

These are by far the most comfortable steel toes I've ever owned. As I mentioned above, I gave my walking shoes (NB) away to lighten the load just because I felt easy walking in these things. Brought it up in the forum because I have read where guys are sometimes looking for a work boot to get...

Where and when will the next one be Matt, any idea?

What a low life. I'd rather lose all my gear than my dog. I'll be on the lookout.

Just watched an episode last night of "Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath." The Scientology Church is tax-exempt. Their leader is worth 50 million.

From Wikipedia- "A pilgrimage is a journey or search of moral or spiritual significance. Typically, it is a journey to a shrine or other location of importance to a person's beliefs and faith, although sometimes it can be a metaphorical journey into someone's own beliefs." Pilgrimage...

I have had many steel toe boots over the years including the top premium brands such as Red Wings and Rocky, as well as the more economical ones from Wal-Mart like the Herman Survivors, which in my opinion were the best all-around work boot on the market, considering wear and tear and price...

Hey Sock Monkey, nice to meet ya! I googled Wren Hollow and first page saw lots of results for an elementary school in ... Missouri, I think. Anyhow, what you have going sounds interesting. I travel through Florida sometimes and was actually thinking about Marianni / Panama City since I haven't...

Canavan, cool office! I was assuming you had some type of camper van. This appears to be a flat bed of sorts. Do you sleep in the small confines of the cab, or hit up the motels ... maybe pitch a tent from time to time? The flat bed would be a great cook platform for a charcoal grill to be sure.

Vancouver Island looks awesome, at least so much so in the reality series "Alone." The first two seasons was shot there, with season 3 currently airing from Patagonia, South America. BC is on my bucket list for sure, beautiful country up there!

Motels can tend to get stuffy sometimes, even when someone else pays for them. Perhaps, you may want want a change of scenery? The getting there can be penniless, the friends along the way, priceless. Welcome to the campfire!

Hello Canvanan and welcome! A road dog is anyone who travels along with you. I.E. Hitchhiking, Rubber-Tramping, and/or Train Hopping. Although, the latter is usually known as a Fellow 'Bo. (Hobo) At least, that's always been my understanding. You mentioned, thinking about taking people along...

Hey Natalie and welcome to the world of being on the move! A road dog is good to have, especially when first starting out living as a traveler. There are advantages and disadvantages to be sure, but if you're a rookie, it would definitely be worthwhile meeting up with someone with your...

A little bump in the road to start out a New Year, but glad to hear you're back on the trail. Good luck and fortune to you fellow traveler!

Hey Matlock and welcome to the world of travel! I was coincidentally browsing Alaska's craigslist and came across this post. I'm sure with more research, one could find better paying opportunities up there, (ad says $11 / HR plus overtime) but this is a phone number post and could be useful to...

Sounds like maybe you're there because of the New Year's Eve party? If so, that would be totally cool. However, after the party is over, I'd say get the hell out of NYC and hit somewhere warmer. As you mentioned, the competition will be rough, not to mention winter is fast approaching and most...

Hey Dustin and welcome to the world of travel! Because of your age and experience level, I'd recommend you try finding a buddy (road dog) that can join in your adventures for awhile. Ideally, someone that has a few miles behind the belt. Finding someone can be tricky and sometimes, more often...

Far too often, we read posts that indicate an urging to leave after winter is over. Winter just officially began 5 days ago. A lot can happen between now and spring. Which brings me to the next thought ... What happens when you are out there and the winter starts all over again? Nomads have the...

Sounds exciting! I'm going to be following your post.

Sometimes, we just need to go.
