I'm with you on this. ACAB all the way, but the real problem is "the system" not the individual cops. In the moment they are just humans, with guns. I do my best to not admit to anything, but otherwise I'm as up-front about things as posssible. "oh yeah, i've been out hitchhiking for months...

I think about this general strategy: Stop any bleeding, then keep injuries clean (clear of crud, use water and a little soap but not too much), closed, and bandaged (we can list sizes and categories of bandages all day but all we're doing is finding something clean to keep it covered). "How bad...

@Matt Derrick I hope that you can feel proud of the good that this site has done for so many people, and that you can feel good about what must have been a very difficult decision. Thank you for everything. I will cherish the bandannas ❤️

Based on my meticulous data, I wouldn't be surprised if hitching this takes a week or even more. I have a decent tent and keep to myself and I don't know anything about finding places to sleep otherwise, or if this would take you away from places where you can pan if you need to. Anyone know...

My wait times have all seemed short post-covid but I just haven't been hitching enough to know. That said, they've also been short-term adventures so I usually am able to look cleaner hitching than I would at home lol

I'm considering a stp-style hitching/freecamping trip in Cape Cod with a friend. If it was just me I'd go an find out through trial and error but my friend has a lower risk threshold so I wonder if this is a terrible idea. My goal is 5 hikes, 16 miles total, but with some transportation...

Yeah, I got a lot of good rides around the mountains, and east of Denver, I'm sure this was just a getting-out-of-large-cities thing. It was less that I was trying to get out of Colorado and more that I was trying to get to Lawrence, KS. I appreciate this tip, Cheyenne -> Omaha -> KC might...

Thanks yo. If it takes me that long to get a ride I'm going to start walking. The mountains are nice! But goddamn, the prisons and the wealthy adventure tourists.

Part one was a train ride yesterday, a whole ten miles east out of Grand Junction before the cops kicked me off. Back in October for a court date, unless I decide to become a fugitive. Fine. I caught 2 good hitches across to Golden and camped out. This morning I took public transportation to...

Maybe you're already doing this but in my experience, the more explicit you can be about expectations the better, even to the point of writing them down and posting them somewhere in the house. That way when someone's not participating or is causing other problems, you can either point to the...

I'm originally from Lawrence, KS, living in DC now, sitting in front of a computer full-time and cooking with Food Not Bombs on weekends. I've been a lot less nomadic than most of y'all but for friggin' forever I've been wanting to take most of a year to travel- hiking, hitchhiking, trainhopping...
