I wasn't sure if there's a better forum for this, so feel free to move mods if it's more applicable elsewhere. I am planning to start up my blog again, and I was thinking of a different way to present content that hasn't really been done before (a difficult thing to do nowadays). I came up...

Awesome man! Been looking forward to this. Will definitely be picking up a copy.

WOW I am so glad he was found. Was really expecting the worst. Is it just me or is the story not quite adding up? Did he get off the train and then slip on ice and fall back into the train's path where it ran through his hand? Otherwise I'm not really understanding. Thank you @Tude for the...

Hey, nothing wrong or unoriginal with starting a Youtube channel. When I am off the road, I long to ride again and the best riding channels make me feel a little closer to it. Just add your own flair, and I'm sure it'll be great! You can count me in as a viewer

Sweet pics, some cool places in there.

Lol, this is exactly what I'm talking about. How we are supposed to help you? A post about what? Try looking around for yourself and trying to figure things out before asking. You'll probably have a lot fewer questions. Also, SEARCH BAR.

A while back, some kid messaged me about a particular route, I decided I'd help him out. I type out this really insightful paragraph that would really help him out, hop outs, time of trains, etc. Good shit. And the kid never responds, not even a simple thank you. I haven't seen him on here...

Welcome to StP! You're in the right place

I am also in Atlanta and in need of a ride!!!

I'd love to get a link to your playlist!

Oh man, the memes on those are hilarious. The joker ones especially...

I know most people on here won't naturally be a huge fan of the genre, for obvious reasons. But I just find myself coming back to it again and again, even the mainstream rap. I really respect the creativity, and I really enjoy just listening the beats and flow of a lot of artists. I am...

Welcome! Sounds like a great plan. I have thought about getting a van once my rail tramp days are over. But that's a long way off... Also, i just gave u a follow on instagram! :)

I kept getting told the whole line was really hot. I figured I'd getting somebody to ride it with me, maybe in the next couple months, although it will be cold as hell. What was your experience?

Lol I stopped browsing the memes awhile ago. Some pretty dank ones in here tho

Great pictures man! I last minute skipped on riding the hi line this summer, your pictures are making me regret it lol. Welcome to stp!

Well it seems like all these suggestions have all turned into realities haha. But, if I were to get a tattoo, I'd consider getting the line from the New Hampshire license plates: Live Free or Die I love it, it's short, to the point, and boss as fuck.

Cool man! If you're in NOLA in September, you could maybe try and make your way to the slab city, CA in October for the jambo. That would be a good way to connect with people from the community, which you mentioned. Just an idea though

You've got a solid list. One thing I would take into consideration is the weight of your pack. Pack all your stuff up and walk around with it for a bit. If it's too heavy you may want to consider dropping some things. Personally, I try and have around a 25-30 lbs pack because it allows me to...

Mine has the same thing! I hate it too, serves no purpose...and mine is pretty damn bright. Use that energy to charge my phone! ::arrgh::

I totally agree with what everyone has said so far. Some good resources you could look into: hitchwiki has a lot of good info for all things hitchhiking. Also, there is a good link in the library of this site in the hitchhiking section with all the laws for each state. I'd take a look at it...

A link to the one I bought.

I bought something similar recently. Totally worth it in my opinion, saved my ass a couple times. I get at least 5 or 6 charges on my phone but mine takes a loooong time to charge, at least 12 hours. That's a downside because unless I'm sleeping near an outlet I can't really charge it. But I...

Not trying to be a dick, but maybe just google it?

Would that actually work? Wouldn't when they scan a copied ticket it would show up as a duplicate or something. If not, that would be the coolest possible way to cap that adventure.

So are these locks unpassable? How do you even go about passing through those, or in a canoe is it possible? I'm sure I'd encounter at least one along the way somewhere no matter where i start.

I definitely see the magnitude of the trip, and I'd be planning this for at least 6 months from now. I don't even really now how to gauge how long something like this would take...months? But I'll definitely be putting in the work soon to research this, just wondering if I'm going completely...

I got this idea I'm super excited about... so hear me out and feel free to destroy me if the idea is terrible. I'm thinking train hop and hitch up to Minnesota or wherever one of the tributaries of the Mississippi starts from. Should be cake, just rail tramping with my pack, nothing new. Get...

Just look up recommendations on the internet man, there are thousands of articles with exactly the kind of info youre looking for. As for GPS, literally every smartphone will come with one, but you have the option to turn your location off and more or less disable it.

Freecampsites.net is a cool site. If you're in the area where there's a free one you have an easy place to sleep where u don't exactly have to lay low and you're not paying for anything. Just make sure the campsite is legit .

I struggle with this too, I think you just have to keep writing, you eventually improve. Also I think reading books helps you learn different writing styles and stuff like that.

Just got a fucking court date for trying to hitch a ride in Des Moines, Iowa. Such bullshit. I think I'm going to skip out of town today hopefully. I don't see why I'd want to come back to Iowa...for anything...plus the date is next week and I need to be home anyway. fuck I'm so pissed.

I came upon this through reddit, and it's an easy way to conserve space in your pack by rolling your clothes into a compact roll, similar to the hobo roll I guess. For a t-shirt: For jeans: For socks: For a day's worth of clothing: Hoodie: I thought this was a good method...

Damn, those no shows are disappointing. Didn't think anyone on this site besides me enjoyed rap lol

Cool pics! Who all played at Sound Set?

So they're being accused of knowingly doing this? That's fucked if it's true...

If you have a phone with a battery, you can get an extended battery that will make your phone last something like 5x longer. They're a bit pricey, but if your phone supports it your phone can last a whole week without having to charge.

No advice to give, but I'll probably be heading there next year so make sure to update us on how it goes!

Yeah I feel you, there are so many other places out there waiting to be experienced. Best of luck with your travels. And I may have to take you up on that offer sometime...

Dude, that's an amazing video! You should make it its own thread. Love the stuff your putting out and maybe I'll see you on the rails once you're back on the road.

I'll try to make it if I can, sounds like a ton of fun. And to whoever made that poster, it is FUCKING AMAZING! such good art skills lol

That's a nice squat! Fun video too, got a couple laughs out of me.

yeah, I really like the tarp cause its real light and folds up nicely, but if I cant get it darker I may have to get a new one unfortunately. Dont really want to use a bright orange tarp...

Wow, I didn't even think about the paint markers. That definitely may be the way to go with the bag at least. The tarp will definitely be difficult, I'll have to look for other options.

This may be an odd question, but I have an orange tarp and a mostly orange sleeping bag that I would very much like to keep. The problem is, bright orange isn't very stealth. I'd rather it be black, a dark gray or blue, just not orange. I was thinking about possibly trying to get some black...

Wow man, incredible pictures! You've been all over the place! Hope the summer goes well for you.

I don't have a lot of musical talent, but I picked up a ukulele for cheap from a music shop, and just started watching youtube videos, namely the Ukulele teacher. From there, just practicing and playing and you can get better at any instrument. I really enjoy playing the uke now, and it's a...

That's a great video! Awesome footage as well. Very inspiring to a young buck like myself.

StP, this place is incredible. I had a chance to make it out there a couple weeks ago. It is absolutely beautiful. The coolest thing about Big Bend is that it is basically a giant mountain range that sprung up in the middle of the desert, with forests and rivers all around. It is an incredible...

I've definitely had periods in my life where I looked at people and just wanted to meet that standard or be like they were. At the end of the day it never seems like it ends well, I've just tried to learn to be me, and if you don't like what I am then fuck you (lol). People that don't accept...
