    Rats, theft, trains and being a dumbass :)

    Pinky and Brain, love it! Also yr precise description of off loading from a car. I’ve done it a few times and it’s no joke. I do hear things down in the US have tightened up in the yards, both with Bulls and gangs. Sounds like it’s getting rough as well up in the Great White?

    Cop shows up while moving from squat

    Ya plus utilities in yr own name, plus mail, means a legit ID WITH SQUATS ADDY. Even the most hard nosed cop ain’t gonna fuck with that

    What if I started a squat in my hometown just for the summer?

    Most long term squats generally are middle to larger cities as, #1, small towns folks have eyes on EVERYTHING, and #2 cops in smaller cities/ towns aren’t used to and can be real ducks with squatting. I’d look for a structure that has obvious signs of long term abandonment, and an ingress egress...

    My guide to Austin, Texas

    Good overall report. I lived and temp squatted a construction site there wayyyy back in late 80s. In those days the post punk scene was awesome and the town still had a small town vibe, pre tech boom. One Big prob I had camping near there was FIRE ANTS. Be fucking aware of those frikkn little...

    'Residential' camping and squatting on Public land

    Ya it’d be useful to find out which areas in particular are cracking down. I’m ‘camping’ on BLM land here near Moab, which has a fairly small homeless population, and only a few venture out into the wilds . The lowdown I hear from folks in the know is that if you trash a place out ya they’ll...

    Public lands and YOU! Why you should give a shit.

    This is an older thread so hopefully some of the issues of privatization are being re examined? As a person who is now literally squatting BLM lands, I’m conflicted. Yes we should not only stop the mining and grazing (or cut it down) on national forest and blm, but many folks are being forced...

    Squatting federal lands

    The current state of squatting in most cities, unless folks are interested in rust belt or other cities with failed economic prospects….is fucked. After many years squatting in Suckfrancisco, the tides finally turned. We were incredibly lucky to hold a squat in the mission for over 8 years...

    What happens to a squater after auction on forclosure with a significant tax lien ?

    My My exp is they kick you the fuck out. If you have electricity in yr name, mail, etc, you can lengthen yr stay several ms depending on city, by forcing them to evict you. But even during “eviction moratorium “ they are tossin folks to the curb using every legal maneuver the dirty filthy...

    Absolutely. Hammocks in ANY hot weather sitch are awesome, great on the back, THE MOST ingenious piece of nomad furniture EVER invented. By our Native friends down south…some folks even rig them for winter camping, tho a heavy bag is necessary

    where to store your paperwork while traveling

    scavenge for an airtight metal box, bucket, etc. head out to the sticks, bury it at least a foot. Have some kinda location method to find it as terrain constantly changes, and so does memory. that's all I got

    I gotta say my exps in greyhound have SUCKED. Their only motive is to suck as much cash as they friggin can...my advice, if you ABSOLUTLY HAVE TO RIDE THE GREY RAT, is to buy a ticket for the next stop, then keep ridin past it to yr destination, or as close as you can till they kick you...

    squat for a month?

    When the city''s got me down I head out to the sierras or somewhere closer by, like Mount Tam. Squatting in the wilds is great fun, you get to build your own special little squat-fort, long as its hidden. Its still possible to squat in the bay area, We're in the Mission in sf for 5 years now at...

    Why you DONT want to be a Gypsy (from meeting the real gypos.)

    that's why I use the american term Hobo -aristocrat, hobo having the respect of a vagabundo (spn for vagabond, another fav of mine) of a low consumption ( save of course the vino), light on the planet kinda travler, who mostly makes his own way without getting handouts. I don't personally hate...

    Hi!

    In a sense settling in one place, especially for a veteran rambler, is yet one more form of travvlin'. In that you're LEARNING TO KNOW a new place, to feel at home with it. The older I get, the more I appreciate going back to the really special places I found while on the road, as well as trying...
