The trip was about what I expected. An entire bus of about 40 people got stuck at the St. Louis station. We where about 7 hours behind after a driver took the wrong route and made several extra 30 minute stops. In the end it worked out nicely because Greyhound gave us all free food and a $100...

I was expecting an erotic hobo tale after clicking this thread.

The Appalachians are pretty rad. Now's a good time. It's starting to cool off and it's not super cold yet.

You'll be probably need to get something like a leather holster then sew on the holster. I keep a weapon in a leather case that hooks to my belt and slides inside my pants. It's practically invisible and cops wouldn't find it unless they gave me the TSA treatment. The whole apparatus is...

I checked them, from Jax to St. Louis was around $700. All it said they had available was first class so I don't know if anything else cheaper is out there. Greyhound is looking to be the cheapest option unless I can catch a ride. It's too hot out for me to hitch. I wish I had left 3 months ago...

I checked the mega bus schedule and it comes to a lot more because of the multiple buses it takes to get there. They don't have any direct routes. Unfortunately I can't by my tickets in advanced because I don't have a reliable ride to Jax. I have to purchase them the day of leaving. I had a...

That is the question? I'm trying to get from FL to MO to ND. I'm considering Greyhound. I recently read about them stranding a bunch of people in the northern states. I'm curious if anyone traveling along the south and midwest has had any troubles with greyhound as of late?

I'm curious what state you're in? I'm not interested in joining but just wanting to know where you chose and why? I used to be big into survivalism but since I got really sick last year I've haven't had it in me to live outdoors. I want to get back to it now I'm feeling better. If you get a...

That's one good way to use a utensil holder. You get enough squared off bricks or rocks and you can put them close together and make kiln/stove out of them then just set the pot on top.

I think it was one way. I'd have to check again. I was rushing through the site just to check the dates.

Thanks, it's pretty expensive but nothing compared to what I owe in court fees lol. For anyone else interested the route is from Bellingham, Washington - Whittier, Alaska it's about 800$ without a cabin.

Enter without a passport or more accurately put travel across without a passport. I have no intentions on staying there I just want to get to Alaska.

I'm curious if I can get from the lower states through Canada to Alaska without a passport? I'm not planning on making the trip until sometime next year but I can't get a passport because I owe the state lots of money which I can't realistically pay anytime soon.

I got a Dell i3162 netbook last week just for the road. It's actually way more powerful than I expected. The downside is the battery life sucks on it. Maybe four hours of video unplugged if you have the brightness maxed, which I always do. I installed Linux Mint on it and it works fine with the...

Good luck mate. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. lao tzao

Bluebird is the only other option if you can't get netspend or paypal. There are some others but they only serve very limited areas and won't transfer well. Bluebird is in Walmart and Target so it's everywhere you go. If your SSN is banned then you might be shit out of luck because they all use...

Something light but filling like canned chicken or tuna. Then maybe bring a few packets of mayo and mustard for flavoring. Cheap food sounds like a good idea but it isn't. Things like spam, canned spaghetti, etc. are mostly processed waste and grains. They'll go in and come right back out. You...

I appreciate it. I'm still leaning towards Grand Forks but it depends on who is heading what direction. I just picked up a gig for this week so I'll probably head that way towards mid June because I get a full month of food stamps then. I certainly don't want to hang around here any longer than...

I was looking mainly at Grand Forks. It's a small college city. Bismarck was my next in line. I'm in Florida now and pretty much anywhere is cooler than Florida during the summer. If I can find someone on this site who knows there way around Portland especially the wooded areas then that might...

Cool weather :) North Dakato also has more large cities than Maine and more job opportunities. I'm considering areas that have the mildest summers and more jobs. Maine is overall the coolest state but it's nothing but small towns and cities. Even Portland is microscopic compared to most other...

I was wondering about Maine myself. Right now I'm trying to head to north Dakota but Maine was a consideration. Even though main is farther from the pole it's overall cooler. I hate the heat and I don't plan on going back south once I leave. I want to get out by June if possible.

If you head through Jax let me know. I'm about ready as I'll ever be.

Like Gaucho said just get to know the area. I would ask around about a specific place ahead of time before you go there so you'll have an idea of what it's like. I always advise extra caution in Florida because there are a lot of counties who are tired of dealing with the masses of tramps...

The police are my only concern. Florida is probably the hardest state on hitch hikers. I've been considering catching the mega bus or greyhound into Georgia then going from there. Get to the east coast and you should be able to get a ride on i95 north if you come up to Jacksonville you can...

If you're still near Florida around the end of May I'll be heading north. Unless I catch a ride on the ride boards before then.

You're heading the wrong way lol? Summer is almost upon us. I'm in north Florida trying to get to North Dakota or anywhere it's cool during the summer.

What do you mean by disappear? Do you want to change identities and leave your old life behind or do you not want to be found by anyone? Me personally I would buy a small plot of land in the middle of the mountains or just take a plot. Then using only basic tools I would build a small farm for...

What did you use to keep warm at night? Did you have a blanket or just the clothes on your back?

Hi everyone. I wrote this really long introduction thread but the system flagged it as spam so I'll just stick with a simple hello.
