    Need Legal Advice or just tell me what you would do

    St Augustine anti-homeless group harasses StP community

    I am roofless, because of my own choice. I feed myself with my guitar and I provide myself with transportation with my bicycle. I have never met these 'night raiders' and I go to St. Aug very often to play my music in the streets and wont stop for anyone. I not only know my rights, but would...

    St Augustine anti-homeless group harasses StP community

    I used my fb account to report the group as a racist, discriminating hate group. Can't wait to see the response.

    Trike tour?

    DOug is a friend of mine. We are going to meet up when he hits Florida, going to show him around some. I bike tour and live off my rig. My hustle is the guitar and country singing. Nice to meet you.

    FL appreciation post (Stockholm syndrome)

    I can't advise on that. I am a small town guy all the way. It is the hustle bustle I try to avoid. Hard enough staying alive on my bicycle through the small towns without effing with the cities lol. I have never had any trouble anywhere actually. But then again, I don't go looking for it either...

    WOw, if they arrested students for disrupting classes when I was in school, I would've spent my young years in prison lol, wtf?

    FL appreciation post (Stockholm syndrome)

    I'm a Native so I guess that helps - especially with the heat, even at my age I can handle that just fine. The Police, all over the State are so used to me, they have grown bored with running my ID and other things they play around with. Unlike Croc, I find that Martin County is the further...

    St Augustine anti-homeless group harasses StP community

    Wow, just got back from Busking there at St. George about a week ago. Made good coin. I wish I would've known this before I went. PS The police on bikes were quite kind honestly. :D

    Bama kicks down nice::

    Well just remember on your second train journey, that those East bound trains, can make West bound destinations, a helluva lot more complicated than they have to be. You only have Georgia left :D I am glad Alabama was kind to you and your new road buddy. :D

    A small mental tip I use...

    At 55.5 yrs old, I am in good health, but not necessarily top physical shape. When I use google maps for a destination, I use the "walk expectation map" for my arrival time. I only use this when I have the occasional gig that I must appear for, not my busking. I normally beat that time by a long...

    Water proof on the cheap.

    A tip for folks with just a few dollars. I bought these to protect some of my gear in the all day florida rains - despite some of the reviews, it did just that and I am quite happy to get two water proof bags for this price.. :D...

    Wallet Thread... or Small, Flat Pouches

    I keep my $/docs hidden in my gear. I carry a dummy wallet. In the wallet is a 2nd State ID that I obtained by telling them I lost one, $3 cash, a worthless Visa card that I already spent the cash on, a few business cards I don't actually want. And that is what the robbers/thieves will have too ;).

    A lot of this I didn't know, very helpful. Maybe a bump will help someone else. :D

    surviving the winter of my isolated mind advice

    I will add, throw open your tent in the back yard and live in it for a minute in the cold so you can see what that is going to be like - make any repairs changes to gear - stuff like that.

    Well, I use a bottle. And like I said, a lot of times there is NO BUSH or other obstacle.

    stealth pissing (aimed -no pun- for the guys....)

    Well, I haven't had to do it in anything but shorts - I'm in Florida. I sit and pull the shorts to the side and let go - quickly. That is as graphic as I need to be I guess. Each there own, but at 55, it is not as easily held as it once was. :D Not unlike pissing in a gatorade bottle on a road trip.

    stealth pissing (aimed -no pun- for the guys....)

    I take this very seriously because of the sex offender part attached these days. I sit yes, sit in metro areas where it is impossible to hold and find a safe spot because of closings. I have gotten quite used to it actually. That dumb law, made it very practical for me. I find that a parking lot...

    Getting Free Shit...All...The...Time...

    Living off my bicycle in this "Homebum" situation for almost a year, I get an over abundance of everything - not solicited, just given. At first I was wondering "wtf?". Then I remembered a scripture I read once, about providing me a hundred times more than I am willing to share. So I kinda take...

    Trailer coupling.

    Because of the severe weight I carry on my cargo trailer, about 200lbs and I weigh 252lbs, I moved the coupling up on my bike rack to take stress off my shaft and spokes of my back tire. It is working nicely so far. This is the 2nd back tire I have had to replace because of all the stress for...

    Decent Rain Proof Tent?

    In the mean time, this represents what I do. I tie mine with only about 2" of headroom. As I say, my shelter is only for sleep. That low profile I have found to resist the worst of Florida's thunderstorms. Again, I use another tarp for the ground.

    Decent Rain Proof Tent?

    Decent Rain Proof Tent?

    I live off my bicycle in Florida. I don't have much $. I use two tarps from walmart - the cheap blue ones. One for ground, one that I stake in a diamond shape with three points, and then bungie the fourth gaumlet towards a tree. It rains a lot and I haven't got anything wet. I only setup for...
