Dickies! They hold up really well. I wear them when I skate, and they hold up really well. Sometimes, they can be hard to find in smaller sizes though in the store for whatever reason. so if you were a 28 or a 30, you will have more luck ordering online...at least that's my experience

hmmm this is actually a hard one. I'd probably have to say a key ring with about 25-30 keys from some abandoned houses I've been to.

It was downtown Pittsburgh. I was tired as hell and after walking AT LEAST 13 miles, I came across this nice running/bike path along the river, and there I found a kayak rental place. Stole a tarp and layed it down in the middle of the bike path. Got in my sleeping bag and fell asleep haha

welcome back my dude. haven't been on here forever either. Good to hear from you again.

I got kicked out of school that's whyI'm homeschooled. I think that's why it's really hard, becuase I used to be In regular school at one point.

Anyone else on here in high school? Specifically Homeschool? I feel like not having to worry about all that school and law shit would be a lot easier for me to go out and travel, but I don't know?...I'm just sorta talking to myself becuase I don't have friends to discuss random shit with. Oh...

I have a Molle II fieldpack. It's pretty big (because of the frame) so it's not super optimal for train hopping, but it works its not like you can't train hop with it, and it will last you forever. And mine was only $45.

thank you so much! I will keep that all in mind when I look for a van. Hmm I am pretty handy (and so if my boyfriend, whose traveling with me), but now I worry if we do get a VW and fix it up, it will break down or something and we will go broke trying to fix it. So I will have to keep that in mind.

So my original plan was to just hop trains and hitch rides, which is good and all, but I started thinking about maybe taking a van instead. So I have a few questions.. Van reccomendations? (I was thinking like either a service van or an old VW bus. I want to rip the seats out and put in a bed...

One full change of clothes (in the pack, I'm wearing one set of clothes obviously haha), one thermal, shorts, wind breaker, coat, 4 pairs of socks, 3 pairs of underwear, and boots

hey guys. So I'm headed for the slabs this December over Christmas break. I've been doing research and all just trying to prepare the best I can. For all of you that have been there if you have any important things to know or any advice, let me know. This will be my first time heading out west!

Tame Impala is my go to

I recently poked myself. It's on my arm, says 'es lebe die Freiheit'....which means long live freedom in German. I plan on getting a tent by my ankle next. maybe a mountain range on my ribs and then the flipper logo on my thigh. just some ideas

Hmm this is real similar to my list. My advice: cut down on the clothes, especially on pants shirts and coats. 1 coat is plenty. Instead of taking blankets and a sleeping bag, get a sleeping bag for lower temperatures, that way you will still be warm and not have so much extra weight. I agree...

I'm a pretty cold person, and so I was thinking about getting myself a pair of bibs. Especially with winter approaching here where I live now...but also i was thinking ahead for the future. Any of you that have travelled with bibs before, is it worth the extra weight in the pack? Do they keep...

And I thought 35 pounds felt back breaking. Haha

I'm from PA as well. Welcome to STP!

It's near springboro

We approached a trailer. My boyfriend, my cousin and I. It was falling apart. There was a tarp covering parts of the roof, with tires on top of it to hold it down. Surrounding it was an unkempt yard with trash mangled within it. Cats were roaming about. There was a fenced off area with small...

Hey, I'm in PGH too, leaving once I graduate in June. Good luck, dude

I'm sure with nore thought, I'd think of a cooler place. But right now, I really want to go explore the abandoned Knoxville College in TN. There's so many places in the US I want to see, it's hard to pick one lol

Nice dude. Welcome to STP.

Hey everyone. I took suggestions and tried to figure it out some more. I updated my packing list. If anyone could give me and more thoughts or feedback on it, that would be great. Clothes: -Black Jeans -Jean cut offs or athletic style shorts (I'm not sure which would be better) -2 T shirts...

Okay gotcha. Thanks

Hey I have some questions and am needing a bit of advice with things. Would anyone be willing to shoot me a message to help me out? Much appreciated

I really like this idea, and it's not too bad I feel like by my next pay check I could afford it. I don't remember if I replied to you yet, but thank you

Okay so I took in suggestions and came up with a better list. I eliminated some of the clothing and replaced it with a coat, I'm a cold person so I figured that would be better than a bunch of flannels and T-shirts. I made a post about sleeping bag suggestions, but they're all pretty...

Oh I didn't know that. Thank you

Thank you!

Woah really? That is great to know thanks

Yeah I did hear this about emergency blankets.

Okay thanks...i work at goodwill and haven't seen any yet, I will keep an eye out tho

So I am trying to get a better sleeping bag then the one I currently have. The one I have is just one from target, it's not meant for much more than sleeping in like a cabin or something. The funds are low so does anyone know a good sleeping bag I can get that isn't going to break the bank? Thanks!

Hey I'm underage as well. Welcome to STP! Just read everything. Read threads, comments, send messages, ask as many questions as you want. I'll be on the road within a year best of luck to you

Hey. Nice to come across this. I'm 17 I'm in the same boat as you (for the most part) ....dont talk to your parents about it, I promise you it won't go well. When my mom found out about what I was doing, it was terrible. She just shit on me and told me I wasn't allowed to go (even though I...

This is awesome. As a girl who plans to travel soon, it's really cool to see something like this.

I'd say both. It's not a ton of extra weight in the pack and both a knife and multi tool can come in handy at different times.

I am going to get one of those implant things. They last for years and so I've heard they lessen your period a ton and are effective

Thanks haha much appreciated

Hey yeah id really appreciate it if you gave me a rundown of your pack. You seem pretty experienced. Thanks for the advice

Yeah I see what you mean. I've started to weigh my things I'm just around 30 pounds

Ahh, you remind me a lot of myself. Because of that I feel like a lot of people expect me to use my 'talents' to get some job and live in some house and just be some other person. I really want to just say fuck it and travel forever.

I'm planning to travel soon (train hopping mostly) and I'm trying to get things together. Can some experienced people take a look at my list and see if there's anything to add or subtract from it. Thanks! Clothes: Black pants (jeans) Jean cut offs Bandana Vest (with black hoodie) Two t...

Hey my name is Mady. I just joined (my boyfriend talks about STP a lot) and after lurking around for a bit, I decided to make my own account. I'm 17 and I'm a senior in high school. I like punk music and collect vinyl. I'm preparing to mostly trainhop across the United States in the summer of...
