With an ax! Even with the head clean off, rattlesnakes make a lot of reflexive movements for a decent amount of time after you get 'em. I've heard this can include posthumous biting, so wait a while before slicing the thing up.

Come one, come all, to the..largest gathering of hipsters on the East Coast! The Siren Music Festival is happening on July 18th, 12-9pm, at Coney Island. Free!

Oh, oh, I have an Humboldt cop one too! They are none to happy about traveler dogs, eh? I was with a few people sitting in some random grassy spot in Arcata, behind a store or something, and a cop rolls up and after asking us all our names, hometowns and "And what are you doin' in my town?"...

I think Mouse said it best; only thing I'd add is don't plan to bring more stuff than you can carry. Shipping your stuff to your supposed destination? Bad idea, not only because of what happened on your trip but also even if you had succeeded in hitching and getting somewhere fun you might've...

True that. I've thought vaguely of hitching alone but man, I can't even walk home alone at night without getting harassed/followed/etc. Bullshit.

I've been rubbing oil from garlic cloves and soaking my foot in hot salt water and the nasty has cleared up almost completely. I highly suggest it; hasn't been long enough to tell if it's gone for good, but the garlic stops the itching immediately.

Whose mail is being forwarded? The last owner/tenants (by name), or all mail directed to the address?

I don't think it's possible, as a street address is one of those legal blahblahs. Why do you want to change the number?

What are some good home remedies for athlete's foot?

Yeah, I started walking down I-5 once after getting sick of the on-ramp. Bad idea.

I'd say all action, symbolic or otherwise, has its place and value in rebellion. There's definitely dumber things to get arrested for.

Hahahahaha.

I got an infraction ticket (merrr, shoplifting..) in Arcata with the court date mid-May (which, when I got the ticket, was about a month away). There was no way I was sticking around for that crap, but I like Humboldt County and didn't want to have any warrants. So I just went down to the court...

Probably 'cause New York is a concrete cesspool of toxic waste. Kidding. Kind of. I'm here! Where in NY are you?

50/50 chance of dying during childbirth? That absolutely can't be correct.

Hahaha, well, I didn't want to start the topic, but since you asked.. Super 100% pro-choice, I am. Although I hate the bi-partisan options of being "pro-life" or "pro-choice" in a debate that should never have reached national politics as it is and just serves as a distraction from things that...

Are you saying you can't get enough personal space at Hellarity? Preposterous! :P If you come back to the Bay, I'm always down to work on houses. I'm not there now but should be back in a month or two..

Seriously? What the hell is this fight about? If one of my friends died and I found out strangers were talking shit I'd flip out, too. What exactly happened when this kid died is basically irrelevant. He's dead. Respect the grieving people he left behind, don't walk on the tracks like a...

To Anyone Who knows about buying fixer upper cars and getting them repaired does it sound worth Ha! I was thinking along those exact lines, get a car, convert to bio..and I looked at this exact same car on craigslist. Where do you live?

Interesting, I was kinda thinking along these lines today when I told my dogs off for trying to hunt down a bird that got stuck in our porch - room walled with windows, ya know, bird kept flying into the glass trying to get out - and then I thought, why am I trying to supress their animal...

Five Points was the name of a historical neighborhood in I think Manhattan, but the 5 Pointz I mentioned is just a warehouse in Queens. They might've gotten the name from that neighborhood - I'm not sure.

I'd assume the majority of people who are brought up staunchly Conservative/Liberal/religious/etc etc etc stick pretty close to those beliefs - otherwise regional stereotypes such as Bible Beltin' Southerners and hippie dippy Californians would switch every generation, no? My parents are pretty...

Isn't WWOOFing labor in exchange for knowledge/experience/room/board as opposed to paid labor?

The squatter's life in England must be so quaint.

Hahah. Ever hear that Bill Hicks skit? "Fundamentalist Christians say that God created fossils to test our faith. Does that bother anyone else, the idea that God might be fuckin' with our heads?.. 'Heh heh heh, we'll see who believes in me now.'" It's true, though. If someone doesn't want to...

Hahaha. Tyra Banks. This NYC activist was on some bullshit talk show, too, and the host treated him like a disease. I don't think they'll be eating out of the trash anytime soon -

Hahah #3 is the best. "while under your roof, they will talk shit on 'house punks' while their shitty dog attacks your dog."

Awesome, thank you!

I couldn't find any existing thread about this, but, music swapping! It should happen! Well, actually I'm just looking for a couple o' albums (Rosa's I, Mississippi, You & Anti-Product's The Deafening Silence of Grinding Gears) that I can't seem to be able to pirate by my usual means and...

There's also a "food porch" in Northeast, on Garfield St off of Shaver. I don't know the exact address but it's easily spot-able with it's punky type vibe. They always have food for the takin', breads and produce and these weird local "healthy" burritos which are kind of gross if you eat them...

Your mom drives a Prius.

If anyone is in Humboldt and does want to get involved with the sit, I can put you in contact with someone. I helped out a bit while I was there, they're always looking for people to go into the trees, or food stamp up some grub. I think Arcata's pretty decent. The forest fuckin' rocks...

Well, we'd been telling inquiring neighbors (who were mostly ecstatic that someone was finally doing something about this house that had been abandoned for over 10 years) and nosy po-po that we had an agreement with the owner to work on the house. The city got wind of this and contacted/fined...

I hate my life. I journaled that exact sentence a couple of weeks ago, realizing so many things in myself that I was trying to change via travel. The beauty of travel (for me, and probably many others) is that it pushes along those personal epiphanies. But if you find mediocrity in stationary...

Oh man, I feel ya. High school is the worst. I used to cut class and walk to the public library just to be able to do something of my own choice, I felt so damn stiftled and restless. I do think I could've helped my situation by indulging in stimulating, creative things. Indulging in art rather...

Oh! Fun! I was planning on heading up to Seattle in any case, I'll probably be around for this.

ABC NO RIO! on, I think, Rivington Street & Stanton in the LES. Really awesome community space, FNB cooks there on Sunday, and there's poetry readings and punk shows and the like. As for little-known hidden away type things.. there's the highline, doesn't have trains run on it anymore so it's...

Evicted!

So I and a bunch of kids are working on a house in Oakland. Any help is awesome, but we especially need some assitance with starting the electricity. If you're around the area and have knowledge in that field or just wanna hang and clean, paint, install windows etc lemme know!

I always wonder that too, how people end up on this website and especially traveling/squatting/dumpstering/etc in general. Me, I'd just moved to NYC after graduating high school and I was a Google fiend, trying to find anything and everything interesting in the City.. I'd heard somehow of...

This has helped me immensely, thanks for the tip off :)

My friend is an Eagle scout and does a lot of winter camping, when I asked him for handy boy scout tips, first thing he told me is to never get a cotton sleeping bag (apparently cotton absorbs the moisture from your body, making you colder). If you have a zero or sub-zero degree bag (I hope you...

I tried the un-monogamous thang with the aforementioned person, actually. My former pseudo-boyfriend agreed, he was totally not into the idea of possessive relationships either. I could and often did make a completely solid, logical case for eliminating monogamy all together; I mean, really, why...

I loooove Sylvia Plath. I never read The Bell Jar but her poetry is amazing. Some of my recent favorite books are The Unbearable Lightness of Being (Milan Kundera), cuz I'm a sucker for novels that are drenched with philosophical ramblings. And Sex Drugs & Cocoa Puffs by Chuck Klostermann is...

I was at Hellarity in October, they're still kicking ass in court it seems.

I used to have my sleeping bag held on by one or two bungee cords, floppin' and unravelin' all over the damn place until some kid showed me how to bungee it up properly.. Pretty simple, just roll it up real tight, wrap a bungee cord around the left side of the rolled up bag and a bungee cord on...

Hahahahaha. This thread is really funny. But uh.. extra strength deodorant? I personally love baking soda, keeps everything dry and smellin' pretty decent. Body spray doesn't really do much for ya if you stink, and I find it really irritating to the nose, usually just smells like rubbing alcohol..

Ahh the landfill is pretty sweet, only been there once, though. Some of those sculptures are amazing. You live in the Bay? I feel bad for the complete off-topic nature of this post so I'll share another silly thing I've done when boredom has struck hard: A few months ago I was insanely bored...

Agree about taking up knitting, I've been knitting like mad lately. I also like to sew random things and try to make something funky, i.e. my new SOCK GLOVES! Which are basically just different colored socks cut and sewn together. They look absolutely ridiculous but they were pretty fun to make...

A little background: I'm in a bit of a shitty situation with someone who I began dating very shortly before I left to travel, and now I'm back home and planning on leaving again, soon. The problem is that he's staying on Long Island, and I don't plan on staying around here more than necessary...
