Ive been an stp member for i think oh maybe 15 years? And this thread is it for me. If you (mods) can't wrap your head around the fact that homeless parents, including myself, live im constant background fear of CPS, an organization that doesnt even need a court hearing to kidnap your kids and...

So I'm watchin' and I'm waitin' Hopin' for the best Even think I'll go to prayin' Every time I hear 'em sayin' That there's no way to delay That trouble comin' every day No way to delay That trouble comin' every day Well, I seen the fires burnin' And the local people turnin' On the merchants...

Definitely agree, actually funny story I was a volunteer sheepherder for a Dine family for a couple of stints. I feel like in many parts of the east coast, california, europeans pretty much did eradicate the native tribes. Like for example I lived in connecticut for a little bit and there were...

True. But the land most of us walk on (US) was all shysted from the Indians through shady deals and tricks and bribery of chiefs, as well as outright theft, genocide, biological warfare, and environmental destruction. Canada is no better, their government was stealing First Nations children away...

Hearing broad reports of more people purchasing farm-shares at small farms, also buying of seeds. Also my elderly grandmother has had neighbors offer to shop for her. Price of gas being down is cool seeing as I just drove an RV 1000 miles. Heard that air pollution and car crashes and even crime...

I just recovered from what I am pretty sure was Covid-19.I broke our thermometer on day 2 so I never registered a fever on us grown-ups, my stepkid had a 102 or 3 fever earlier on. She woke up uncontrollably coughing and choking on her mucus one of the first nights, having a difficult time...

I've had a little stepkid that calls me Daddy for about a year now. Do I miss boosting, riding trains and hopping fences? Sure, but my life now is more rewarding. Go for it, there are too many stupid ignorant overfed reactionary mouth-breathers breeding (the majority?) I think we forget...

One year off booze, 3 years without hard liquor. I went from riding freight trains and scamming to living in an RV, having a family, and a career that changed my life. Still miss scams but not the sick/poisoned/hazey feel that alcohol gave me. I had to stop wanting to drink first.

What up? My life now is travelling in an RV for work from jobsite to jobsite with a partner and 2-year old. Riding in the RV is way easier with the kid than riding in a car, we have her carseat in the front seat and she loves the view from the "bus". It has it's challenges, keeping the...

Kinda an aside, but there is solid evidence that Donald Trump was prescribed amphetamines ("Tenuate Dospan" a so-called diet pill) in 1982 by a pill mill doctor, and there is a lot of testimony that he has been a user of designer amphetamines ever since. If you watch his behavior it is...

It’s unlikely that company that stole 42 towers on paper will pay a $236K FCC fine In Featured News by Wireless EstimatorApril 9, 2018 The FCC has proposed a penalty of $235,668 against Aura Holdings of Wisconsin, Inc. for the willful and repeated failure to provide truthful and accurate...

my biggest regret also is hurting my exes. i also regret getting caught up in love and losing my reason in the face of infatuation, but then, i guess that's what love is, right? i also regret putting up with actions and hurtful behaviors from those very people and not just splitting up with...

Can you share your knowledge of circumcision with us?

yeah what he said. Shipping containers almost never have keyed locks on them, instead they have the tamper seals. In addition to the plastic or light sheet metal seal, there is usually a "high-security" seal like this , or sometimes this Also you may find a bolt with a nut threaded on and then...

There are a couple semi setups one can hitch a ride on successfully. A lot of people in the northeastern US take old van semi-trailers and cut half of the back doors off so they can blow wood chips in, like so. One could easily hop on at a stoplight from behind, you'll eventually end up at a...

Not something I usually post on, but I just finished reading this https://carrotquinn.com/2018/01/17/my-experience-being-bullied-by-lint-clint-hikes-bunting-in-the-long-distance-hiking-community/ (Long-ass page but worth reading. At the end are testimonials from the subject's former...

I'd like to recommend flat-soled Ironworker's boots to anyone that wants a boot and not a sneaker. I used to have a lot of pain in my heels and finally figured it out that it was due to wearing boots with heels. The raised heel puts all the pressure of your step where you don't want it. Also you...

My beefs: 1. Located in giant swamp called Louisiana, infested with mosquitos, chiggers, ticks, black flys, alligators, backwards redneck cousinfucker slaveowner descendant sugarcane planters, and highly regressive "justice"system 2.Bourbon st is, as Matt once told me "a place everyone should...

Really good article from the Guardian (UK) on the free-ride-out-of-town programs in the states and their side effects If someone is less ignorant than me at inserting the article and media, feel free to do so...

love the video man!

If he has the athlete's foot/ boot rot/ (distinctive smell and flaking dead skin between his toes), pick up a tube of clotrimazole, or other similar antibiotic creams ending with "azole". Nothing else works for me so nowadays I just carry a tube 365 days a year in case.

Yeah, it's a pretty decent hitch, St Ignace is a decent small town just across the bridge. Avoid Escanaba like the plague, that place sucks.

ey man i really didn't sleep much all november-december-january, it really does go hand-in-hand with depression. That whole time I was also suicidal, I don't feel like talking about it with family and I have only a few friends I can barely discuss it with. Actually the internet is the only...

No, but I did sell a filthy pair of undies for 10$ plus all the change in the center console of the kid's car, it was like 3 or 4 in change so 13 or 14 total for my skidmarked tighty whities. This is back when I was more attractive and youthful

Yeah fuck it, I just quit a job paying 40.52$/hour with a one-year ride to full union journeyman status. For different reasons- the boss was a d-bag, an ass-clown, a nincompoop, and a twit, and there was an insane family sitcom situation going on there, but it is still relevant. i have a good...

Oh whoops meant to like it. the thing about power lines is that they aren't hazardous at all unless you're grounded. Look up "liveline lineworkers" to see an illustration. The same way a bird can sit on power lines, because they have no path to ground, they are alright.

I always had this dream of designing a little carriage that would travel on the wires and you could pedal it in a granny gear for getting up the hills, a little basket that hung from the wire, totally self-contained. You could even paint it "Utility Service Vehicle'' on the sides. Only thing...

Man, don't beat yourself up. I've contemplated suicide too , hard, many times, and I actually feel like more of a loser for lacking the balls to ever try. Look at it this way: you are in a situation where you have options-what to do, what path to take. I suggest thru-hiking the Appalachian...

The kicker to all this is that technology has put us in this jam- smartphones are rendering drivers brain-dead. I ride around with a coterie of 20 and 30-somethings on long drives for work, and NONE, not a goddamn one, puts the phone away when driving. Every single one texts, watches videos...

Well they can't tell that you specifically used that money to buy the land. For all they know, it could have been your paper route. Student loan debt is different legally then regular debt. It falls in the same category as child support and debt to a govt agency such as the IRS or welfare...

To cross into Mexico you usually just walk thru a turnstile, they don't even check your ID. To go more than 20 miles in (except for Baja) you want a tourist visa which you can get at the border for 20 or 30$. For Central American countries, most of them charge you when you leave the country...

I camped at a random ass pullout west of Sekiu, it was nice little stretch of smoothstone beach and the tide didn't quite come up to me when i woke. Just look for the wide spots in the road on the stretch of road that runs near to the ocean. Dunno if that helps any but there are good spots for...

The Phoenix area was once home to large centralized settlements of Hohokam Indians, who deserted their cities hundreds of years prior to European settlement of the area. Archaeologists have no definite answer for why the Hohokam left. Perhaps they knew something whites did not.

Nice sounds like unlike most new travellers on here you actually have the initiative. The coffee club or whatever it's called is cool, the Range has music on Friday nights, there's a catfish farm you can fish in the irrigation canal just upstream from the access rd to the slabs, you can also hop...

One thing I like so far about motorcycle touring so far is the ability to go down bike paths/ around gates to get to a campsite. I have never liked camping in car-accessible places b/c if you can get there by car, it means police can get there by car also. You can take a bike around or even...

It's a touring bike. I'd like to get another locking box but they're damn expensive. Now it's summer I don't need to carry much so it's all good for now

Resurrecting this thread. i just bought me a motorcycle and Boy Howdy do i fucking love it! I have always despised driving, and have a bad habit of falling asleep whilst doing so that has almost resulted in my demise several times. There is no falling asleep on a bike, It's the perfect...

1. yes 2. i would hit someone in self-defense. and i've definitely destroyed people's property as an act of anger but that's not something i'm proud of or wish to do more of 3. there's no shortage of things that can be done. cooking, first aid, community support, electronic, etc 4. it's a blurry...

Anybody else notice that when groups of (almost exclusively) young, white punks move into black neighborhoods, the young white punks only hang out with each other and almost never with the majority of their neighbors? The three places that immediately come to my mind are KC, NOLA, and...

So I'm posting this because there's a massive stigma around having or having had STDs. Which is total bullshit. When I had HPV symptoms I searched the entire internet, and every single person who wrote about having HPV wrote anonymously, even if it was years in their past. So back in...

that sucks. The one time i met him was at black butte, he and some other folks were benching there as i rode slowly by after catching out of dunsmuir and i threw a box of dumpstered tomatoes at them, caught him square in the face with a tomato pretty much by accident and he immediately laughed...

Yes you don't need insurance in NH and one or two other states, but to drive out of state, you still need it no matter if you have NH plates Sent from my Z831 using the Squat the Planet mobile app!

This is a good story. You guys are quick to judge. It's not like he's talking about rape or murder here. Yes, I'd be mad if my whip got stolen, I'd be out 700$, but it's still a good story. Have you ever read "You Can't Win" by Jack Black? Plenty of slightly unethical stickyfingered episodes but...

No, I told them explicitly not to search. Vehicles can totally be searched with only probable cause. Look it up. My lawyer was a middling twit, but I went over the issue thoroughly with him and also researched it on my own. Drinking is a separate issue than searches. But RVs are considered...

(To be combined with original post) It was sunny and clear when I left my cozy motel room. As soon as I arrived at the yard a hotshot pulled up and I drank shots of maple syrup and ate cheese and crackers until we sided out by the Indiana line. It started snowing and I said fuck this and...

Cops can totally search an RV without warrant. RVs aren't an exception. I had a locked toolbox in the back of a truck one time and had the cops bust it open, no warrant, my lawyer said they should impounded it first but once at the impound there was no problem Sent from my Z831 using the Squat...

I've started forgetting pieces of my travels, so i figure it'll help to get them down. This story starts Christmas a few years ago. I was living in the boonies in northern new england in a derelict former hippie commune turned end-of-the-road trailer park. I got fired from my full-time gig...
