Kinda feel a bit late to this party but eh what the heck. I'm very much like this at the moment. In some form of perpetual spiral of loneliness, boredom and depression only broken by a brief high when friends come visit. But then it starts again when they leave and I'm all alone again...

welcome, this place is a wealth of knowledge and there's always someone that'll help you out. Stay safe out there and all the best, N0MAD

The thing is wildlife do develop illnesses Especially cysts and parasites they're by no means immune to it they just don't show it as much. This is why you flea and worm your cats and dogs they pick it up the same as we do. However yes you are correct successive use of chemical treatment of...

So a few things i will add to what has already been said but you seem to have gotten them all. Like yourself i have given myself a few bugs through inattention. There are 3/4 ways of making water biologically safe to drink, and ill say that again biologically safe. Depending on where you are...

Followed him since the early days, he is awesome well worth watching.

yep pretty much agree to everything above

Looks like a good list, maybe a few things i'd change but looks like a solid list. ATB N0MAD

As with anywhere, there will always be those people that try and stir up trouble. this little snippet pretty much sums up Manchester.

Yeah that sounds about right for us mancs' we don't support the EDL just the same as the likes of Isis and any other Fu*kers who want to mess with us. Nomad

Okay so i know this isn't travel related and if it isn't excepted please delete. I know that there are fellow brits and Mancs amongst us. Even as a small number we are brits and we have the war time spirit and camaraderie. I can say that as a manc we will not be divided or broken. If...

ROI Is Republic of Ireland, i.e. Not Northern Ireland , the United Kingdom is only England wales Scotland or Northern Ireland. ATB N0MAD

Hello and welcome to STP ATB N0mad

I'd be wary of going down this road. I've had problems leaving countries before after my visa had expired by about 4 days. ATB N0mad

As far as I'm aware theoretically yes but I believe there's a no return within X amount of time to stop people doing that. Whether or not it is correct I'm not sure I'm just going off what it was told a few years ago.

'ello and welcome to STP, it's great that you Listened to your inner self. I had a simillar experience when I was in high school and ended up crashing. Travelling is the best thing you can do. Everyone here is über knowledgeable and willing to help. (Though most are in the US) ATB N0MAD.

It's a pain in the arse, I've tried to get a working visa before. It's doable especially if you apply along side a job application. For me it took to long and had way to much Bureaucratic red tape, so ended up to late for the job. ATB N0MAD

I use a bottle jack rated to about 4000kg. I like having a little extra lifting ability just incase

hey and welcome to the site, i see @Matt Derrick has already welcomed you. As matt has already said how are you planning on getting around do you just plan on hopping trains? or are you open to any form of travel? whatever you plan the folks on here are more than knowledgable on everything...

No, im not from betws-y-coed and i'm not actually in betws-y-coed i'm a few miles down the road, i'm here for work. regarding the flag, if i knew how too i would. but with all due respect i don't see how this is relevant

Hey and welcome to Europe, First of make sure your dogs passport is upto date and get any vaccines required or its going to be a pain the in arse to cross any borders outside of mainland Europe especially getting in to the UK or ROI. Secondly, just go with the flow, ATB Nomad

How do you find the CB? ATB keep travelling nomad

Thank you, and to you. I will post updates when i have updates to post. At the moment i am just trying to save up some money to be able to afford it. For the moment i it's just going to be my own two feet and the tiny car i've got out front ATB keep on travelling, Nomad

'ello and welcome, dem some honest folk 'er, I'd parrot what other people have said about not going to the slab in the summer,if you haven't acclimatised it can be lethal. i know a bit about mechanics as do most trampers on here, What are you looking to learn? ATB keep on travelling, Nomad

hey and welcome, I'm sure someone here will be able to help you out. ATB keep on travelling, Sam

So this is my 2 Pence, I've lived out of a pack and a few extra bits and pieces for about 4 years now as a free lance outdoor instructor and guide, i move around with the job and live where they put me up or in a tent. I've stayed in some real dives hence the tent. The most rugged i've found...

what kind of pack are you using? Also what are you using for emergency comms?

Thanks for the reply, I know my basic mechanics almost ended up as a mechanical engineer, I've got a 'recovery and tool kit' that i have the majority of what i need, Unfortunately space for me is limited because life is rubbish and i canae afford much, I'm currently travelling out of a MPV but...

Well that's one way of doing it

So i'm not sure where to put this, wither here or in rubber tramping hopefully here will suffice. I'm looking to put together some kid of blow out/ emergency kit or bag for use when i balls up in the middle of no where. I used to have one but i cannibalised it for parts and no need to get...

When it comes to Sleeping bags find one with a decent comfort temp rating relative to when your going to be travelling, Lower for colder regions and higher with a built in fly net for a warmer climate. BUT remember that you can always open a warm sleeping bag to cool off, it will be harder to...

Damn i forgot about the ear plugs, yes use them they work wonders. Second the thing about pillow cases, They come in really handy just like stated above I usually use a 15-20 litre dry bag and in my opinion they are better than a pillow case because well they're water proof you can keep you...

So, your stealth camps are they for travelling and sleeping Urban or just because you have to? One thing i've been told and found out relatively early on was that you can't skimp on a good nights sleep. Some people may argue that fact. Out of all my kit the biggest and bulkiest item i have is...

A hammock is something I've always wanted to try. I'm saving up for one for when I was to have a lounge about. I think for sleeping a shelter I'd still use a small light tent/hopped bivi and a fly.

Welcome to STP, there's no better time then the present when it comes to learning. Read all you can from the site it's a great asset.

Hi and welcome to STP there lots of great people here.

If you're keeping in touch with the adopted parents and there's no reason that you couldn't keep in touch -all be it at a distance- with the adoptive parents. Then at such a time when they/baby are ready they could get in touch.

I'd second this, sounds like a good idea. I'd use it

So this is my idea as well, i was originally going to buy my van off the company i work for but insurance and other such things are pushing me away from it. So i'm after a estate car or MPV more stealthy and more grey man. I'd stay aware from any kind of branding or stickers and stay grey...

So this is my 2 pennies. Did daddy know you were pregnant? if he didn't then i'd suggest you leave it as is. No need to kick that nest. If he did then he may be around in the future if he decides he wants to be part of it's life, which as it's adopted will be slim to nil. i'd seek some legal...

Hey and welcome to STP, i'm pretty new here too. Everyone is great and if you ever need anything just ask. The majority of people will be happy to help.

Hi & welcome to STP. Safe travels

hi & welcome to STP

Osprey make amazing packs, as a mountaineering instructor most of my packs are osprey and they do stand upto some serious abuse. A definite must buy in my opinion

The Top part is very much how i felt, i'd have to try extra hard to get someone to atleast acknowledge me. After a while i just stopped trying and ended up with a couple of friends which i still eventually lost contact with,

For me it was high school i was constantly bullied for the smallest most stupidest thing; My lisp and stutter - which only comes out when im stresses and being bullied and in highschool really contributed to my stress level. The fact i cared for other people and wouldn't look down on anyone no...

Hey, it's a strange one this but you'll fit right in

Hi everyone, new to the forum I've been poking around here for a while but finally decided to register and join in the fun. No trees were destroyed sending this post. However a few electrons were slightly inconvenienced.
