    Open Organisation of Lockpickers

    ^^Yeah, no kidding. When I was in MDOC custody last time there were a lot of guys in for possessing burglary tools. Granted they had extensive criminal histories but I find it hard to believe that having bolt cutters is deserving of many years in prison....

    A comparison - Carhartt (prada?) vs. Walls gear. Bibs, coveralls, coats, etc.

    Carharts have gone downhill since they became so popular. My buddy worked for the daughter to the fortune in Grosse Pointe and they're made overseas now. I find Dickies to be a bit tougher than carhart these days. As stated above, it's hard to beat Duluth. They are pricey but very well made...

    Spanging the Pigs

    I think the last time I saw actual "stamps," I was at people's park.. We were stopped for spanging at a rest stop in AL once and they gave us vouchers to grab gas and food. I have a few places give me vouchers for $50 a few times but they're only usable at certain stores. I had always heard...

    Adventure calls for me

    I would agree that a bike is the best way to go, depending on the weather. I've been wanting to go the boat route, but it's going to be more than I have to spend. Go for bikes! You must have physical endurance to accomplish what you have. As for you mentioning autism, I used to tutor kids...

    Open Organisation of Lockpickers

    How does the idea of burglary tools actually manifest? If I'm caught with a squirt gun I go down because I'm a felon - no knives or cutting devices. But, what if I'm on a job-site and I have snips? Fine to LE. Walking home from the same job-site with my snips and it's possession of burglary...

    Getting Ready To Go

    Ola! Lots of good advice in here. I had a lot of luck meeting people when hitching first, and then eventually I met a few folks who showed the ropes on trains. Always remember how dangerous it can be but also how rewarding and addicting traveling is. And have fun!!

    Seems kinda odd.

    Yea, I guess it is common! According to wiki, approximately 100 firefighters are arrested for arson every year. I guess I get it, I'm a pyro at heart.

    Hitch-hiking Highway 101

    The max, eh? When I lived in PDX I would take the max to beaverton every day with no fare. Never caught, but close. Did it for about 2 years. I guess I was lucky because all my friends have been arrested doing it.

    Don't know what to do

    I have to agree, it sounds like you have already decided it would be best to go. Tough one, man, I don't know what I'd do in that situation. Wish I could offer better advice.

    How is "you got to go" enforced?

    A valid series of questions. I often refer to said policy as a misnomer because of what you just proposed. Honestly, I would not ever call the police. I don't trust the police to do anything. If I were unable to physically stop something horrible at the time, I would make up for it later. I...

    How is "you got to go" enforced?

    I wouldn't say that squatters are more violent than anyone else either. Squatter is such a broad term at any rate - there are always different types of people in any situation. Lord knows I've seen much worse behavior in "civilized" folk than squatters. Transients are often incorrectly...

    How is "you got to go" enforced?

    Yes, this is exactly what I meant. Isn't this fairly common with gorillas? It seems like I read that once before. The coordinated violence was quite common in the squats I've been in. I noticed that it often wasn't spoken, but certainly prevalent. I think that humans have the ability to...

    How is "you got to go" enforced?

    Definitely relevant to squats. In Detroit squats it was always a group decision, but the politics of such can be tricky. Violence was often chosen in that culture. Never, ever were the police intentionally called.

    Ya know, I never thought Maine would be that muggy, but the last time I was there it was horrible. I was counting on cool weather but it was downright balmy. My dad lives in Newfoundland and my plan was to shoot up there, but Canada doesn't like me because I'm a habitual felon. To the OP, I...

    Good thread! I agree with @cantcureherpes - you have to start somewhere and you are doing something worthwhile. Props to you on that. I like your ideas, and it is achievable. I ran a food not bombs in Lexington, KY for many years and it really didn't take all that much. Just a little...
