    Website Updates I need your input on StP's upcoming restructuring plans!

    Love it. While I still travel and do some seasonal work, I often find myself at a loss on how to contribute to the community. My interests have heavily pivoted towards self-sustainability and networking to survive the oncoming shitstorm and grow as a person. I feel that my activity would...

    Newb to StP. Hello from the oregon coast.

    Hey there, hope the coast is treating you well! Oregon is an awesome place, but it does only have two seasons - rain & fire. Stay dry out there. If you head more inland at any point, hmu. Might be able to lend a hand somehow. Best regards. Editing in to say my bday is a day after yours, fun fact.

    Sorry to see it go, but I totally get where you're coming from. I'd love to see the Discord community stay up for as long as people are participating, and I am willing to lead on that if you need.

    Genderqueer

    Isn't that the truth? Traveling as a wlw couple, I've definitely dealt with people who wanted to hate crime us. They just have this look in their eyes like they're waiting for the open hunting season. That's not too far off. Be safe, queer fam.

    Website Updates So, another one of those 'StP roadmap' discussion things

    Looking forward to all these changes! Social media for dirty kids has seriously needed a platform for a while. Many of us like to avoid the big companies that use our data for sketchy purposes. The co-op sounds cool, will definitely be a lot of work, but you're not wrong about the direction...

    When I first started traveling, I was leaving out from Florida to walk to NC to visit friends too! Plans changed early on though, and I ended up heading out west instead. Funny little coincidence though. Work-trades can be really awesome, but there are also cruddy ones out there. Be selective...

    Resolved Seeking input on changing some of the goals of StP

    Yeah, you know this was an idea I had bouncing around for a while, but it's impossible to actualize with the situation I'm in without stable electricity or money, haha. I would definitely help out in support of this idea if you manage to bring it to fruition! :) I'm transitioning from being...

    Question Dogs and bikes

    I'd recommend getting a Bike Tow Leash or similar bike bar-type product to prevent the dog from darting in front of the tire and yanking you around if unexpected stimuli rears its head. I've always wanted to bike with a dog but haven't yet, aside from basic desensitization for a dog that was...

    Stormy Day

    Hey all, this post is a heads up about an untrustworthy and abusive traveler/festival/GDF community/rainbow kid. She came to visit my and my partner's land recently with our mutual friend, Bilbo. Upon arrival at my place, she was very hostile and rude, despite a warm welcome. She blamed her...

    Looking to travel for cheap

    Well, you came to the right place for that. Lots of great resources here so shuffle through. I would recommend having any important documents in order while you still have an address because it's a lot harder to acquire them after the fact. Hitchwiki.org can give you some pointers if you're...

    2022 Jamboree 2022 Dirty Scouts Jamboree Location Discussion Thread

    There is a large pullout right off of a paved road with a very rough road down into the woods - you'd have to have a good rig to do it. As a heads up, I might be traveling to do some carny work and not be able to make it to the jambo. ): Plus with the air quality, you might wanna do a different...

    Imgur Album of Prospect Got some pics yesterday and pinned the coordinates. It is further down from the other camping road and restrooms than I remembered. It's also a bit hazy, we should compare AQIs between locations.

    2022 Jamboree 2022 Dirty Scouts Jamboree Location Discussion Thread

    As far as Prospect goes, Hersberger Rd has tons of little spots along the river. Just a matter of what's free. Maybe a quarter of a mile up the highway from there is where I took that photo along Bybee creek. That spot would also be nice and the water is deeper there. Room for several cars at...

    2022 Jamboree 2022 Dirty Scouts Jamboree Location Discussion Thread

    What about the Rogue-Siskiyou National Forest north of Prospect, OR, along 230? It's halfway between southern Oregon and central Oregon. A stone's throw from Crater Lake, but there's a lot of beautiful river spots (crystal clear for the Rogue) out that way and plenty of shade from the old growth...

    Nice. I often find police don't know the law. Do you know if the property was owned outright? If it was financed, it could go up for auction again so be aware.

    Oh boy, Plush is totally the middle of nowhere. I don't mind that location, but last time I was down there, I don't remember there being much shade. I didn't go to the Hot Springs though. Looks like there's at least a few trees in the pics. Probably wouldn't be too busy.

    Hard for me to know my availability this far out. Weekends tend to be better but the spots will also be busier then so it's a double-edged sword. I'll try to make it to whatever works best for everyone else if I can.

    I've used the net Matt linked when I was in Alaska to combat the giant monster mosquitos up there. It worked alright and was fairly lightweight. You need trees for it to work though. Currently, I have a sleeping bag with a built-in bug net. I like it for the creepy crawlies like spiders as...

    There's Eight Dollar Mountain in Selma (most accessible), Elderberry Flats by Wimer (less cell service, but nicer imo), Hellsgate by Merlin, and then the Smith River NorCal spot I mentioned previously is a bit south of Cave Junction, OR.

    I won't be able to make it unless it's PNW. Always wanted to attend one of these! Might I suggest NorCal? There's some really sweet camping spots in the Smith River National Recreation area. Would be closer to Southern Oregon Punx Picnic than the other event though.

    Love the name, Ducky! Always loved The Land Before Time and all things dinosaur, rawr. Can't hear it without feeling sad about her poor actress, however. I go by Scat. It's the sort of the name turns people off because their brains jump to fecal matter, instead of alternative meanings like the...

    where to store your paperwork while traveling

    As someone who has lived in several houses with my dog, I can honestly say she prefers traveling and even behaves better. It's more stimulating for her. She's always hiking and hanging out with her person - gets to feel like a pack traveling to all their territories. Her basic needs of food...
