Yeah, Id love to go but don't have my passport and its a long way away. I might even prefer to just move there. America is going down the toilet.

Hi, im half finnish myself. Never been to Finland though. Bet it's awesome... in the summer.

It turned out to be post covid syndrome.. I'm a covid longhauler. Still dealing with it. It's getting better very slowly but it may be years before I'm normal again. How do I deal with? I just deal with it. Try to look forward the bright side of things and stay positive.

If you wanna go west take the bus to Lawrence and get to highway 24. Hitching thru kansas isn't too bad. Just don't hitch the interstate and the cops will leave you alone. I've also hitched south out of kc. I think I went 291 from lee's summit. Hitching thru missouri in general is pretty easy.

There is nothing you can do about it. You can't control the world around you but you do control yourself. This is why I became a hobo. It's my way of dealing with this fucked up world. To quote the great George Carlin the planet has been here for billions of years and will be here billions more...

Hello everyone, I've been a traveler on this site for a while. I initially didn't believe the covid was real or mostly thought I was immune. Then I got it in July. The initial infection wasn't so bad. I lost my sense of smell and minor upper respiratory issues. The post infection is terrible. I...

Matt Graham from dual survival carrys just a small blanket, knife, and chia seeds, and survived for 6 months. I personally have hoboed with just a sleeping bag and small bug net and phone and was plenty comfortable. Just have to make a pillow every night and find shelter like under a bridge if...

I enjoyed bike touring/stealth camping. You can carry more stuff like food, water, tent, ect with a bicycle and go further faster. Usually pretty easy to wheel it into the woods and lock it to a tree. There aren't any issues I can think of other than it's probably harder to hitchhike and...

Good tip. Now that you mention it, the place I went to never asked for my ID. Too bad I gave them the real info.

I appreciate everybody! I had to call like ten places this morning but eventually got an online appt for $25-80 depending on pay scale. I imagine I'll be on the $25 side of things. I'm already feeling better pychologically knowing I have something to look forward to. This site comes thru for me...

So, I came down with something 2-3 months ago after riding the greyhound cross country like a cold maybe rona (I did lose my sense of smell and taste entirely), and the symptoms went away but I developed tonsillitis (swollen tonsils and lymph nodes) which hasn't gone away for like 2 months now...

Walmart has lightweight blue backpacking tarps in the camping section for $10 unless out of stock which are great for the money. The grommets will pop in a wind storm if you tie straight to them so tie to a lil stick instead or put a rock in the corner and tie around that. For $10 who cares if...

I prefer a super light and cheap set up so I use a cheap light $10 tarp and cheap $13 polyester sleeping bag only. I think the bivy is unnecessary and would hate to lay in a bivy for many days of straight rain. If I lose something or gets stolen, it's no biggie and I just get another set up.

Ahhh... Where's the sense of adventure? :) Guess I'm one of the few fans of Florida on this site...

Prefer sleeping on the ground. Hammock s are super uncomfortable for me. Plus the mosquitoes bite right through them. Only good if you literally can't find a piece of dry flat ground which I doubt. Usually always somewhere you can sleep... I've slept on a pile of Jagged rocks in the Everglades...

You can get a mora for less than $10 on Amazon which will do just about anything you need to do. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01K27GRSO/?tag=squattheplan-20

Cody Lundin has a chapter in his book, 98.6, degrees on it. It's not complicated. Just embrace the cold without being stupid and let your body adapt. We all know people who go out in the snow with shorts and a t-shirt. They do it so often their body adapts including adding brown fast and more...

I found a brand new Sierra designs 0 degree down bag that weighed 3 lbs on Craigslist for $60 once and it was super warm and lasted 3 years so definitely see what you can find there. But yeah, the mss bag is the generally best bang for the buck but certainly not ultralight. I've been...

Looks like they're usually made if wool. They appear to be very practical and versatile. Basically, a wool hoodie/blanket. Wool retains 70% of it's warm when soaking wet. Also wool doesn't absorb odors so you wouldn't have to wash it too often especially if you get one with natural colors like...

Florida does suck when it comes to hitching. I hitched from Ocala to Panama City last winter and made it but usually have to wait like 5 hrs on average for a ride. It was especially tough in the Panama City area. Mostly rednecks and not the type to pick you up. I'd be careful around Panama City...

Personally, I don't get a bike too expensive and then I use the cheapest $5 bicycle lock cable at Wally world cause I figure it keeps most people from taking it and the people with tools will get it regardless so no need spending extra on the lock and haven't had anyone steal it yet while...

I've had one and they are definitely cool, but nowadays I'm a hard core minimalist and since I have to carry everything around with me and it's not a necessity cause I can cook over a fire just as easily, I got rid of it long ago. Also, I actually prefer a regular fire cause the fire lasts...

Its a bicycle with a shell. I prefer a bicycle without a shell and simply carry or attach a tent. Doesn't draw attention and can camp anywhere and get around much more efficiently. Plus, a tent will have some airflow and not be so claustrophobic and cheaper.

Gonna have to soldier up cause the war on the poor is here. A spoiled rich brat who never worked a day in his life and has no idea what it's like to struggle will have no sympathy for anybody but himself and his billionaire friends. He's already going after the homeless. In Vegas, they're...

I worked as a flagger over the summer. They gave me a free place to stay, like super upscale, hot tub, sauna, ect. and the easiest job in the world. Literally, just hold a sign all day. Had no bills and made bank. This was in Colorado so, I just got high as fuck all day and held a sign. Lots of...

Thanks! I'm definitely nice, as far as naive, I don't think so, but maybe I'm being naive :) I hope I have no problems with the law as well but I'm currently in Florida so.. wish me luck ;)

Yep, 90% of my vids are me drinking a beer and just saying what's on my mind. I do plan to do better more exciting content soon. We'll see, thanks!

Hey everybody, I've been a hobo a while now and never introduced myself to the community as I tend to be on the shy side but STP definitely helped me in so many ways to get my bearings and point my life in the right direction so I'm very thankful for that. From legal advice when I've been busted...

Personally, I think Sarasota is a good place to spend the winter. I was there last year during the polar vortex and it was like mid 80s and sunny. Anyway, if you want to move north there are city buses that will take you to Tampa for less than $10. I don't recommend Tampa or Jacksonville or...

I'm in Vegas now and have seen multiple homeless people with shopping carts and all bent over the hood of a police car in cuffs the last week. Ive heard lots of homeless complaining about it. I've got a camp on the outskirts and out of view so I've had no problems. The weather is great though :)

You can stash your stuff. Just use commin sense. Make sure no one sees you stash, and/or stash deep enough into the woods. Ive never had anything but weed stolen from me, but im careful and have good insticts. Generally, good stash spots are best found using creativity or just doing the work to...

Ive never heard of that brand so id be suspicious. Why not just get an Osprey? Theyre proven to be durable and lightweight. Ive beat mine all to hell for years and it still functions perfectly and its cheaper than the one you posted. The one you posted seems very gimmicky when alo you need is...

Probably best to get a phone, tablet, or laptop with 4G LTE or hotspot. Maybe luck out and find a free wifi connection nearby and possibly use a wifi extender if need be.

Why fresno? That place sucks. But good on ya. Not sure how hitchhiking with a bike will go.. I'd probably ditch it.. but doesn't hurt to try. Personally, I'd keep it simple and stick to i10 the whole way. All you really need is a blanket, maybe a bug net (I ripped my out of an old tent), maybe...

I eased myself into it. I left my dickhead roommate and started living out my truck. I kept my stuff in a storage unit. Then, I got rid of my stuff and the storage unit and packed the redt of my stuff in my truck. Then, i got slowly got rid of more stuff so I had more room in the truck. Then i...

We appreciate you!

That is similar to my list when I first started.. now, i literally carry 2 blankets, clothes that I'm wearing, backpack, mosquito net, couple permanent markers, vape kit, deodorant, and toothbrush.

Yeah, got my truck broken into twice while I was sleeping in the back with camper top on. The strip is awesome but the rest of the city is a shithole. Homeless dude just sat down next to me and started smoking meth. We talked for a bit but then he got all fucked up and started speaking in...

I have stored my stuff at 24 hr fitness in Vegas while I went to the casinos. Probably did it 10 times without a problem but never stored it there long term. Other option is to stash in a patch of woods. Also, you can usually get cheap small storage units but can be a problem if they close...

I've done both. Yes, a vehicle will limit your experiences. Backpacking is less comfortable, but adventures aren't supposed to be. I'm much happier without a vehicle for lots of reasons. I walk around and don't give a fuck about anything.

I forgot to bring a bike, wish I had brung a bike.

Also, side note.. cicis pizza has a competition where you and a partner enter a competition for $50 and if you can finish this huge pizza and two 32 oz drinks in an hour you win $500. I can eat a ton so if anyone is in Houston and can eat like a champ, let me know. The pizza is thin crust and...

Been flying a homeless veteran sign but I was actually thinking of flying a need work sign in front of home depot cause I'd actually prefer work over what I'm making now. Also, been thinking of trying a funny sign.

I'm struggling in Houston flying a sign due to a lot of competition. Is there a part where I'll do better or any other tips? Would I be better off going to Austin or somewhere else nearby? Also, does anyone know where I can get some weed? Haven't smoked in a month. Thanks!

Just go for it. Yes, the ocean in the PNW is awesome and definitely worth checking out. The weed is definitely good as well but I'm not gonna say it's all that much better. Your tolerance will go up and the high won't be that much different... till you start dabbing.. but that gets expensive.

Welcome. Fuck leases, contracts, or anything at all. If you have a dream, go for it and I promise everything will be alright. Easy? No, but worth it, yes!

Yes, this was for 2 unopened beers at the beach and nothing posted anywhere about no alcohol in march. Every other month it's ok. Even the state's attorney said it was bullshit. I'm not overly worried about it. Just wanna get it taken care of as easy as possible. I like the food not bombs...

Wonder if there's some church out there that would be good to me.

No matter how rough things get, they will only get better with time. Like, if you've never camped before, it will probably suck at first, but once you get used to it, it's not so bad. And the more you learn through experience, the more you'll be able to get comfortable and improve your life. The...

I have to do 28hrs of community service for a bullshit charge. I can pick any non profit like goodwill, salvation army, church, homeless shelter, animal shelter, ect. I prefer somewhere that will fudge the numbers for me. Like, i do 4 hrs and give credit for 8. Or at least, the service be fun...
