I've not ridden that way but since u haven't gotten any input yet: if I was gonna I'd go KC to Memphis on BNSF, Memphis to nola on CN Or KC to Shreveport, Shreveport to nola (both kcs I think) The first option is prob ur fastest

Beautiful! I wasn't super cynical about ppl before traveling but traveling absolutely made me see how many caring and generous people there are in the world

And he called himself "pro life" 🙄 what a liar

Shit bro, never thought of it like that 🤔 should I shoot it?

What's ur preferred way to come down from crack? I usually just smoke weed til I pass out but if there's xanax I'll take 1 mg. Don't like using booze bc it makes me feel like shit the next day whereas if I stop drinking shortly after I start smoking I feel fine the next day. Anyway, happy...

In the summer I almost always travel w tevas. Great grip that's held up a few years worth of summers now even walking on ballast with a pack. Ppl try clownin on me for em bc I look mad dorky but I never have boot rot

Reminds me of Your Mom's Name crew from Fresno like 20+ years ago

No but I know a good shower...

One of the best travel stories I've read on here

God, talk about a place where a house up goes a long way lol

Dude come on seriously??? The more ppl who do this and see this the less resources ppl who actually live outside have. U literally tagged home depot on the video wtf I hate youtubers more by the day, y'all have no regard

First of all, welcome Second of all, yep almost all travelers are young. U don't meet many over 30 who are homeless n traveling, we tend to settle down or die before that. Behind walmarts would usually be the least safe places to sleep. I think it's fair to say that the more homeless ppl in an...

I made a DIY happy hoodie w two dollar general beanies that I cut the top of. One seemed too thin so I got two. This is only my first time having them on her on a train but it is definitely helping some even tho I have to adjust her ears under it pretty often. I think if made with higher quality...

Not sleeping visibly and not telling anyone what u have of value (includes using ur laptop in a Starbucks when bums are hanging there n will see u) and not passing out drunk will prob keep u from having to deal w this problem at all. Common sense prevents most people related problems on the...

Current fav song is How Will I Know by Whitney Houston

I'm rooting for ya (no pun intended), this would be rad af. Love hearing ppl's wingnutty build ideas. It's fun to do something different

@Jerrell u got any?

Hey so basically my thoughts as someone who's been riding, mostly full time and very much mostly homeless, for going on 5 years now I think if you've done a good amount of research (safe rides being #1) then pack a backpack and go. You'll figure out if u like it real fucking quick. Like homie...

Ayy, always good to see an update from ya dude! Glad ur still kickin Whatchu got goin on in March?

A sweetie of mine is from Peru and just moved back. If u have instagram I can try to connect y'all on there or signal

I personally try to not be flat broke, especially bc I have a dogter to worry about. Makes u feel like shit when u have no money, there's no decent food in the trash, and ppl are standoffish bc they're sick of the homeless in the area and u gotta eat mayo packets from the gas station for dinner...

Venmo: @Lyle-Ah I don't think deciding to not have a permanent residence and wanting to sleep outside even tho u have the reliable option to is "wrong". I think if u got rid of ur money and started panhandling or accepting financial help from ppl (misrepresenting urself) that'd be wrong but...

We love a slice of humble pie! Welcome back If you've read up on whatever's available then go get em, tiger. Mentor is a good idea in an ideal sense but honestly plenty of the ppl that know "how" to ride trains are mad reckless and are gonna show u how to be a shit show anyway so I don't think...

There was this gal a few years back (anyone know what happened to Arya, is she still around?) who like walked mostly out of long island. I don't think hitching there is very good. My family is from there too n since it's just like not of the local culture to be warm to strangers those places...

I think Kaya is all healed up right @Eng JR Lupo RV323 ? Nonetheless this is a good idea in general for folks who need affordable vet care

Nah never heard that but I don't rly hang out w ppl who just hitch/walk. Sounds like some annoying ass kids who would say that tho @Batsy to echo what Matt said, FTRA isn't rly a thing anymore tho there's a couple of them still alive I think? and scum fucks haven't been a thing in a long time...

We love to see a homebum turned traveler!!! Don't let ur dreams be dreams 🍀

To echo what a few folks have said, the 10 can be hard to hitch on and Texas in general can be like that, but the kick downs are THIQUE. Would prob be worth mentally and financially preparing to have to get a bus or two to fill in the gaps

Ugh I thought we were rid of Brodie

A legend in our community and one of the people who remind u of the warmth in the world, please send some warmth back his way. He'd never ask y'all for help personally bc he's always trynna take care of us instead. Kaya is such a sweet girl who's recently overcome dog aggression and loves...

Playing off what everyone else has been saying... Everyone's different in what works best for them, if you're comfortable alone don't feel like u need someone to travel with. Just traveling with the first experienced ppl u meet bc they know more than u isn't a great idea. Don't settle bc if...

The soft cases at pet stores are good for having a collapsible carrier but at night while ur sleeping ur rat might go exploring and not come back. I've heard of this happening with cageless traveling rats. But if you're willing to risk that then yolo. As long as they have a place that's their...

This is a "waking up at 4 am to catch my train" game changer

You're not going to be able to travel the ways u listed without being around hard drugs. Period.

Yooo love this thread!! I had a fucking sick squat in Brooklyn last year! On the note about electricity use, if u have an analog meter in the basement like a lot of older houses in cities they shouldn't know to check ur use if ur not living there on paper. That's how it was in my squat in...

Sorry man, I gotta second Matt n Lupo, this is like an unhinged idea. I'm from Florida, spent 20 something summers there, and would still never live in slabs in the summer ever for any reason and I PREFER the heat to cold. The dry heat is worse than humid heat in my opinion bc it's sooo much...

Is this a BYOLM offer?

Set your own goals. Avoid people who give u requirements for what u put on ur own body bc at the end of the day they're insecure and unhappy with themselves or else they wouldn't be concerned about wtf u put on urself.

@ACAB1312LIGHTER all hail Franky rat!!!

"I'm not resisting, I'm just fat" LMAO U never fail to get into some crazy shit, lupo. Glad ur alive to tell the tale

Stoked to have met u on ur first adventure, Miles! It's also nice to read a lil backstory from u here since we only kinda touched on it in person. Ur a lovely bean, a talented artist, and I'm excited for u to be finally living a fulfilling life

STOKED TO HAVE YA BACK!!!

Yo, fellow queer person here. I also stay in the south for winter. Slab city is def worth checking out if u haven't been. A lot of ppl talk shit on it but like anywhere else, u make the time u wanna have there, choose friends wisely. But it's a sick opportunity to live in one spot for free...

Gainesville and Tampa fnb are still goin strong from what I've heard. Tho Tampa fnb has been saying they're in need of more volunteers. Check out the CMC in Gainesville for folks who might know about more of that kinda stuff. https://www.civicmediacenter.org/

Homie, get on a train n do something fun! Sounds like u need it. The world is ur oyster an all that 🦪

Haha, love that ur operating the train ride. We oughta start a gofundme for one of those wooden train whistles for ya.

Knife/weapons on ur right side, away from the driver

Seen him in Jan/February in the slabs

Sometimes there are outlets on the back of vacuums/air machines at gas stations.

@Beegod Santana seems a lil counter productive to head SE when they're trynna get NW. If we're talking closest place to vegas to catch out easier, needles would be closer and easier since flagstaff isn't usually a cc or wasn't last time I tried to get out of there wbd? We had wbds blowing past...
