    frozen doors

    If your in freezing temps I would assume you'd be wanting to have a stove handy. Some good life advice.

    Hey y’all!

    Because people are concerned about being exploited by the media. Painting a bad picture over the travelling community. It's been a thing for awhile.

    Where do you leave your backpack when going into a store?

    I lock mine to my bike unless its really sketch out but I tend to avoid those areas anyways.

    Do you sleep with a weapon

    You should really be more worried about having your valuables out of view and your bike locked up. your more likely to be stolen from then assaulted unless your female bodied person. Just fyi. I usually keep something around. Another good defence is being somewhere where the ground makes...

    best places for free camping near santa Barbara?

    There's alot of good places. Dont know how long your staying but I definitely recommend you get a bicycle because it's hard to get to any good spots without one. Really nice scenic area between goleta, gaviota, and solvang. You can get your bike on all the buses. Unless your really dead set on...

    Good dual Self defense/utility knifes for a reasonable price?

    Throwing knives are illegal most states. Anything classified as a ballistics throwing weapon are illegal to carry around on your person. The only way you can carry them is in the trunk of your car. Check out mora knives. They're inexpensive and good quality fixed blades.

    I dont condone snitching but that's an article from 10 years ago. C'mon folks we have all done things were not proud of. Nobody's perfect if there was any reason I would not respect anyone it wouldn't be for what they've done. But for not recognizing their mistakes. Holding sh# like that...

    Long shot: My brother passed in 2007, "Danny Boy (Falla)" in Elk River, MN from a train accident...was hobo'ing it, riding the rails before he passed.

    For sure when I did a quick search the results I got were it kinda existing nebulously through people using hashtags. so if she might contact that community that way. that's kinda what I meant in my original post. (Should a been more descriptive, my bad) I seems I remember hearing that awhile...

    Really awesome dude. This is so sad and so out of the blue. Haven't seen him on here in a while. Met him at the jambo in 2015 he was really nice to me when I wasn't feeling good. Seemed like he had the whole world going for him. This is really sad.

    MSR Whisperlite multi fuel stoves

    Refill adapters so you can refill your butane canisters with cheaper more widely available lighter refill canisters. Or there's adapters for your stove head to attach to those green propane canisters.

    How Slow/Fast do you let your clock get?

    I keep a pocket watch out of convenience. It's much easier to keep track of time when im busy getting ready for work in the morning. Or when I shove my phone in my backpack and im trying to catch the bus. That way if i miss the bus I can do something else while i wait for the next one. It's so...

    Just starting out bike touring and looking for advice.

    I might have blown a spoke once. And it's literally as easy as buying a new one and putting it in. You probably should know how but it's not a big deal. You'd have to really put your bike through some sh* to blow a spoke. Keep your spoke nipples greased. Might want to replace your sealed...

    25 tarp shelter configurations (infographic) - what are your favorites?

    That's cool you just gotta remember the more easy it is to set up the more likely it's going to be effective. A lot of those examples are good if your going to leave your tarp up for long periods. Honestly just use mine like a bivy 75% of the time. Burrito fold over setup. Remember bungee cords...

    How will covid and economic crisis effect travel culture long term? Discuss!

    Honestly travelling can be a good way to avoid contact with people. If your always in a big city hanging out with people your going to get sick anyway. Hitching might have more people not picking you up but the good days of hitching have been dwindling for years. Biking seems to be pretty...

    Just starting out bike touring and looking for advice.

    I started out zip tying a four gallon milk crate to a rear frame. Worked really well. You gotta figure two gallons water and food/ sleeping stuff. Keep a good hardware store nearby. Get familiar with fixing it. Hand pump and tire patching knowledge is a must.

    What are you listening to right now?!!!

    I bounce between Ramones, dead kennedys, Gbh, blitz, Cock sparrer, DRI, Bad Brains. And country Marty robbins, Roger Miller, Johnny cash. There's a lot of inbetweeners. Ministry, synth and noise type stuff. That's just a vague outline I also like a lot of classics.

    what are some questions to avoid asking people you meet traveling?

    Having preconceptions is really off putting for me. False sincerity. Bogus questions that you don't actually care about an answer. Trolling. Wasting my time or being treated as expendable. All things I pick up pretty quick and dislike.. Honesty is a good policy being treated like a normal human...

    Protecting a train riding dogs hearing

    Maybe if you left them in for days or weeks but the reality is you'll probably have a hard time keeping them in that long. It's really a null arguement for the sake of personal feud.

    Protecting a train riding dogs hearing

    Cotton balls aren't going to give your dog an ear infection. Being a stupid dirty oogle letting them get ear mites will. In fact you should probably clean your dogs ears out with cotton balls (with mild solution) on occasion. I'd recommend this to anyone who has problems with their dog around...

    Is it worth ditching my tarp for a bivy?

    Patrol bag tarp combo is my go to in wet conditions. The bag is water repellant and keeps you somewhat warm when soaked. Right now im literally just carrying a tarp and blanket. Summer months. Also sleeping on a tarp gives you the advantage of sleeping on top of natural fibers. The tarp in the...

    Cotton balls for ear plugs. A vest or something to wrap around them gives them a lot of comfort. You could also give them a sedative.

    Thru-Hiking Vs Long-Term "Camping"

    I don't know the area but you could make a semi permanent base camp. Just stash a tent and stuff there. If your not there for long periods just pack it up and hide it. Get on a path that you can take a bike on if possible. Keep some canned food. Get a water filter, stove n such. Heck if you got...

    how the fuck do i find work with a dog

    Sell stuff online. Get PayPal pos device and sell stuff. Get a car/van whatever. If you have too much stuff get a storage. Maybe use a dog walker. Work some where pet friendly. Gardening/ outside work. Maybe get rid of the rats they're too cantankerous. If you have a bunch of junk sell it.

    Does CBD really work?

    So I'm just going to add my $.2 From what I understand cbd is just the other compounds in the plant and because of its legality (it not being actual thc) has made it more legal and available widely to the public. Cbd seems most commonly available in ointments used topically for pain relief joint...
