    On Selling Out

    Any of you crusties ever sold out completely? I'm talking 9 to 5 with a lease and stability. If so, how did/are you faring? I've been a crusty traveler for a while. Years ago, I was hxc into computer science, but gave up that passion for degeneracy. I've had amazing experiences. I've truly...

    Cheap Land w/ Lax Zoning/Building Codes Near a City?

    I know I'm asking for a holy grail, but just figured I'd throw the question out there. Looking for some land where I can build an experimental homestead. Don't want to be too out in the boonies as I enjoy some city life. So tired of being fucked with due to codes and regulations because Karen...

    Tucson, AZ to live?

    I've been thinking about Tucson as a home base as well. It seemed pretty dope when I passed through. Met some cool people at an anarchist coffee shop called Revolutionary Grounds. It has some of the cheapest rent and a high minimum wage. You could live comfortably with a shitty part time job...

    The Impossible task of finding a bike touring partner!

    Honestly, probably just gonna end up touring solo because I've had two people pretend like they were down but totally bail when it got down to getting serious about it. I wanted to start in the summer, but waiting around for people to confirm fucked up that schedule. I mean, I get it. I get...

    Car dwelling

    I've been living out of my prius on and off for the past couple of years. It's honestly great. You can buy a used prius for like $3k these days and they last longer than your average car. Toyota also has the cheapest maintenance costs on average out of all the makes. Aside from the amazing MPG...

    Los Angeles Parking Spots

    Very useful. Just left LA. There's some nice nature hangout spots in Griffith Park, but not much overnight. I usually hang out at Griffith Park or the beach during the day. If I'm near Griffith Park, I park near Silver Lake/Glendale. There's lots of side street parking around these areas. My...

    Hammock life?

    Yo, glad you posted this. Didn't know this was a thing but is exactly what I need. I've been using the hennessy hammock. It's dope, but this flying tent... yo... it's perfect. Bivy and hammock in one with no need to set up a rainfly? Been looking up videos and reviews. It seems legit. I'm all...

    Popular cities

    This. My personal favorites for finding youth are those medium sized towns centered around a college or two. Tons of open-minded youth appreciative of travelers. Even better if it's an music/arts college as that usually means tons of dope free DIY shows.

    Hitting the road Saturday full time

    Hell yeah, man. It's your life. Your family might not understand, but it's okay. Just might have to convey that this is what you really want to do with your life. Good luck.

    How do you sleep discreetly in a large city?

    It's usually best to go to the outskirts of town and try your luck there instead of the city. I usually just take a bus or train out and find a place near the stop, usually a wooded area. If I absolutely have to stay in a city, it's always abandoned buildings, churches, or roofs of businesses...

    Veganism and what it can mean for you!

    The two main arguments I see criticizing veganism is that it's expensive/not accessible to the poor and it's still vulnerable to the evils of capitalism. Which are fair arguments. You go to a vegan cafe compared to a non-vegan cafe and 9/10 times the vegan cafe is gonna be more expensive...

    Shower idea

    If you're already at the beach, might as well just hop on in the ocean with your soap. Much better shower idea imo.

    Decent sized pack for small sized people?

    I've used the osprey farpoint and porter and love them. You can get either 40L or 55L. 40L is all I need and makes it a lot easier on my back. The smaller the better, imo. The best thing about these backpacks is they have panel loading rather than top loading, so you can easily unzip and see...

    How to choose an appropriate piss bottle (for guys)

    Some call it lazy, I call it being efficient. Especially when you're city camping or in a public lot, you might have to walk a good lil distance to get out of sight. Not to mention having to get dressed. As per principle, I don't use piss bottles if I'm drunk or fucked up in any way. That's...

    How to choose an appropriate piss bottle (for guys)

    Gatorade bottles are the best. Large capacity, large opening, and a secure lid. If you can't fit your dick in a gatorade bottle you might actually be a horse.

    An often overlooked item for gear- socks!!

    Socks and underwear are the two things I'll dish out some money on for quality. From my experience, the best kind of socks are ones that have at least 70% merino wool. They are great for both warm and cold environments, comfy af, dry fast, and are anti-bacterial. They also are super easy to...

    Crusty by Choice or Consequence

    Lol, damn dude. Yeah, mine are pretty bad right now. I have such a huge rip in the front that I'm genuinely concerned that my dick might pop out sometimes. I also have the ass rips like you did in that pic. You're basically just in your underwear at that point.

    Crusty by Choice or Consequence

    When I lived in a house, I was already thrifty and looked a lil homeless. When I left, I took my nice thrift clothes with me to avoid immediate judgement and police. Honestly, if you look good, you can get away with so much shit. People trust you more and are more willing to engage with you as...

    I've been watching you all for years.

    Oh man, Chiang Mai is great. Nice mix of modernity and dirtiness. Incredibly cheap too, as is most of Asia. I had an apartment in the "hip" part of Chiang Mai for $80/month and I ate out for like $4/meal. If you eat local cuisine, you can do $1/meal. You prolly already know that though. Well...

    Best Cheap Alternative Cities?

    Looking to get a home base pretty soon. Want to avoid bourgeois as much as possible and be in an alternative community, preferably with a nice music (really into noise n shit) and anarchist scene. Also, it's gotta be cheap. I have a few places in mind like Denton TX, Philadelphia PA, Richmond...

    Possible Squats Coast 2 Coast

    Foreclosures are great for many reasons. For starters, they're usually fully functional, clean, and secure. Also, by law, foreclosures are public record. You're basically provided a list of available homes you can curate just for you! Is the small, one-bedroom home just not up to par to your...

    Featured Short Bus Conversion Experience

    Can't really decide between an RV, van, or bus. Can you stand up in your short bus? Do you think a 6'1" person could stand up in it? Love the conversion tho

    I've been watching you all for years.

    Just never made an account. Cool community though, so here I am. I'm a good ole Texas boy who got too deep into anarcho-communism which led to him dropping out of college to be a dirt bag. Been vagabonding for like two years or something. Been in the mindset for far longer. First year was on...
