BJJ and a little bit of Muay Thai, IMO, and you're pretty much golden. I trained BJJ, MT, boxing, wrestling, and Judo for about a decade, as well as some MCMAP while I was in the military. Haven't really trained at all since I've been traveling though. I wish I could find a roaddawg who knew...

The problem with a knife, IMO, is more that you don't really have any non-lethal options. A knife in the liver will stop anyone, but it'll do so more than most of us would want I'd wager. I do carry a knife, but it's just a tool for me, not a weapon. I dunno about the golf balls though. They...

Anything by Cormac McCarthy, but The Road, Blood Meridian, or No Country for Old Men are probably the best starting points. Best living American writer, and best American writer since Faulkner IMO. Finally buckling down and giving Moby Dick a read. Once you get the flow of Melville's prose, it...

So, I've been pretty lazy and stuck around the Bay longer than I intended, but I've gotta bounce. Probably taking off tomorrow. Any tips? Places I should stop by? Places to avoid? Easiest way to GTFO of LA if I get dropped there? I don't really need any advice on getting out of the Bay (I'm...

YES! It seems like most of the kids I meet are shwilly as fuck, and the few that aren't are straightedge. I don't begrudge anyone their own relationship with substances, but neither extreme is right for me.

Anyone coming from or through the bay? In Berkeley right now, but I can get to somewhere else if need be (BART fares are easy enough to duck ;)). Just me and a pack.

Screw it, I'm gonna try to go. If I can get a ride arranged (from the Bay Area) I'll go for sure, otherwise I'll start making my way down there on my own later this week, and it'll just depend on what luck I have getting down there.

So, introductions... My name is David. I hit the road in May. Before that I was in college for four years, and before that I did four years in the navy. I've basically spent my life so far doing what I was supposed to do, so now I'm enjoying being actually free. At the moment, I'm on my way...
