    Tips for long distance kayaking

    I've been doing a lot of research into a long distance kayak trip. I recently got an old town kayak and the only places I've been able to take it is lake Lanier and the Etowah river. I'm north of Atlanta and have been thinking of the Mississippi next spring. I wish they made kayak seats more...

I managed to get a asst. manager job last winter at a deli and I was fat after a couple months haha I used to take whole boars head roast beefs and hams and chicken, like 7 pounds at a time. I also used to try getting overnight shifts...

    lol we must be living on the same level man. I was hit by a drunk driver when I was 13 and broke all kinds of crazy shit. But I always tell people that as soon as the ambulance got me, the pain went from an 11 to a 1. I was telling the driver to take me home and not tell my parents lmao morphine...

    Yup.....im fukn pissed

    I was so antsy when I got mine out, it just ended up feeling like they pulled a dried up scab off. I had stitches in my nail bed too bc I cut my finger in half, long ways-through finger nail to knuckle.

    Greenhorn hitchhiker having a good time!

    I love hitchhiking. If I didn't have a new dog id be out this summer. Im saving up to try the ADT in April. I don't know how new you are but always remember to check to make sure child safety lock is off and always get in the car first and then your bag and do the opposite when getting out of...

    Smashing racism on the road

    just throwing it out there, when I was in Europe they called cigerettes "fags", its not always a derogatory term. Context is 100%.

    Yup.....im fukn pissed

    Ga. has the same bs law about workers comp too. Something like you cant sue your employer for getting hurt if they have coverage. Only if you can prove Negligence. I cut my finger in half long ways at work bc someone didn't screw a blade guard on a deli slicer. Any lawyer I talked to wanted 25%...

    Moments that made everything worth it?

    I got hit by a drunk driver when I was 13. She was given alcohol at a work function and drove home. I got a 100,00$ settlement. My parents put me in a psyche ward right before I was 18. I was in there on my birthday and my mom brought papers she told me were for my discharge. I was so thorozined...

    Moments that made everything worth it?

    My parents were the same way. The ONLY way it will get better is if you extricate yourself from under them. Work until you graduate/turn 18 and start your own bank account in the mean time. DOnt ever let your parents know how much money you have, get direct deposit. Ill tell you word for word...

    incompatibility with reality

    killing yourself is pointless and creates more problems. Whos gonna find your body? A kid maybe, your parents? is that fair to put on anyone? My best friend just killed herself bc she thought no on cared for her and she was 100% wrong. I hope you find something that improves your outlook dude...

    IM just throwing it out there, ive never known one person to live a long healthy life on heroin. Ive also seen someone OD right in front of me and it def wasn't painless. They were convulsing and puking and trying to scream for help, it was horrifying.

    Moments that made everything worth it?

    I feel the most relaxed when I can set down my pack without worrying about keeping an eye on it and being anxious it will get ripped off. I walked the entire Silver comet trail almost entirely tripping on shrooms and when I got to the other end I literally felt like I completed a wizard of Oz...

    How do people travel with this addiction? I assume it would be hard being sick all the time. Sorry for your loss. I also just lost my best friend of 20+ years 2 weeks ago. Heroin is a killer.

    Walking shoe recommendations?

    You don't want completely waterproof bc the moisture from sweat wont be able to evaporate and that will leave your feet damp. Much easier for foot fungus and blisters to occur.

    Anyone ever hitch a ride on the fly?

    when I was a kid I lived near so many miles of train tracks. we would get bored and throw rocks at boxcars bc we were little assholes. Ill never forget the day I saw someone throw a rock and watch it bounce right back and hit the same kid in the face. His lips and nose were destroyed. Trains are...

    Worst State to Hitch Through?

    Georgia for sure. Not so much the daytime but at night is when all the tweakers come out. If you hate small talk but get picked up by one of these fuckers, youre screwed.

    Free water locations while traveling. Is there already a list?

    I have a lifestraw, I guess I could have been more specific. My fault. I wasn't near anything that even resembled a puddle or I would have used it. basically, I cant believe ive never thought of looking in an obvious place like a school playing field lol

    Free water locations while traveling. Is there already a list?

    I was walking through a redneck town in north Ga and I was incredibly thirsty. I started to get a little nervous bc its 90 degrees by noon and im miles from a store. I got an idea to cut through a closed for the summer middle school campus. low and behold a water spout right next to the playing...
