This happens to me too, OP, and I find it pretty offensive. Not only do I feel like they are trying to find out if they can approach me sexually, I sometimes feel like folks are trying to find out if I'm traveling alone and hence an easy mark. I generally don't answer the question. Sometimes...

Heirloom seeds = heaven

Nah. I feel you.

Hard to get good corn anymore. It's all GMO and over processed etc. I rarely eat corn now. I do love beans, squash, and rice though. Beans and squash could be a hoot to grow on a traveling rig.

yes!

I follow you and feel you. Thank you for taking the time (and effort) to put this into words. The distinction between solitude and silence is crucial I think. Most of us don't get good silence without solitude. Yet this unity among/with others, in the silence, is truly the heart of the matter...

The waterproof rooftop box has changed the minivan into a palace. Space inside for living is priceless. I have winter clothes, bedding, some extra food (lightweight), etc in mine. I don't have to access it daily which is a plus for me. It's kinda my long term storage for light weight items. The...

What do you mean by "to an extent"? I would welcome your perspective and experience on all this, if you feel up to sharing it that is.

Thank you for this post. I appreciate and support your experience and perspectives. I didn't know about these two books and just ordered them. One of the reasons that I travel solo is because of my need for deep solitude and silence. I'm more hermit than anything. The road is the place...

Great rubber tramp adventures to you.

This is fan-fucking-tabulous. I do wonder though if contemporary horse ass is the same size as ancient horse ass?

Great photos and stories. Thanks for sharing. Hope you are feeling better too.

Really enjoyed this post. Thanks for sharing your time on the road with us. Great to see the stories of women on the roads, rails, and trails. Will read your other adventures now too.

Great question. I carry a small box of watercolors, a few small brushes, a water brush, small watercolor postcards, water color pencils, and a few colored markers. These days I also indulge in a coloring book or two plus tracing paper. I also have art/index cards, a couple of eyedroppered...

I'm really moved by this. Thank you for sharing. Such dignity, aliveness, contentment. Wisdom and love are here too.

Great thread here. Thanks crampicide for starting this and including so much really useful information. I appreciate everyone else's contributions too. I really do prefer to use earth medicine, herbs, whenever possible. Far less wasteful than pharmaceuticals. I also like being self-reliant...

Sad to hear all this especially since you were there to help. Hope you are safe and sound tonight.

Plus a man's dirty junk can give a woman a UTI .... it's all related.

Just make sure the wipes don't have nasty ingredients that don't irritate you more. I got a UTI once from some baby wipes. I sometimes use a little apple cider vinegar on a clean cloth to wipe down.

1 - not strained in the love/sex department. But then I'm not interested in someone to travel with right now. I love being alone these days. So I guess you could say my primary relationship is with the spirit that guides my travels, with myself, and with the planet. It's also not strained in the...

Since I want to be left alone most of the time and live my life without bringing attention to myself, I'm half dirty from the road and half ok looking. Too dirty and I get too many looks. Too clean and respectable can have the same effect. So, somewhere half way between. I also try to stay...

Great guide. Thanks for posting this. I'll also add that wearing polyester/synthetic underwear will really make things worse. Go for all cotton undies or put a cotton rag in your panties. The vag needs to breathe too. So let her air out whenever possible. It's one of the reasons I tend to wear...

Found Rise Up this morning while searching down the creator of the Love Yourself Zine in the STP Library. And then I discovered they offer email services etc etc .... and then I came back to STP to give a shoutout to anyone who might be able to offer me a referral to get a Riseup Red account and...

I forgot to include the all important activated charcoal. It's a great toothpaste on the fly, but even more importantly can be use for mild poisoning etc. I accidentally ate some oleander a few months ago and the activated charcoal meant I didn't have to go to the ER. Can also help with stomach...

I know I'm late here, but great thread. It's good to remember how great garlic is too. I carry: garlic ginger root peppermint/spearmint salt white willow bark tincture coconut oil essential oils baking soda apple cider vinegar

This ..... And for a male bodied one to take at least some of the contraception responsibility is a big deal (a woman still has anxiety about pregnancy with condoms). This non-invasive method seems like it would really clear up a lot of male bodied concerns about cuts, scissors, snips etc...

Great post. Thanks.

I have always wished that the topic of birth control included what a male bodied person can do to keep their sperm to themselves or to make sure they are shooting blanks. I get tired of how female bodied people tend to have to take most of the responsibility for this. It's not that I'm...

Actually, it's true. And even now, in some subcultures of subcultures, moon blood is thought to have tons of power and energy.

This is why I finally registered. Yup. Not evah not never. Sovereignty over our bodies (no matter the gender or non-gender) is a basic human right. Too bad we can't take it for granted yet. Thanks for this radicalness affirmation.
