    probably removing the left over tobacco so they can re roll it. I remember people who took out the trash doing this in a facility I was at. Empty the ashtray, take all the left over tobacco from the butts, roll it in bible paper or whatever they had.

    Banjo Playing Hippy chick

    Hey, I recently ran into this girl in chicago, probably like 2-3 months ago. Blond hair, skinny, average height, vegan/vego, plays the banjo. We talked about Banjo, I let her borrow my phone to tune her banjo and I asked her a few questions about her hopping life, I probably came across like...

    Pack Capacity Inquiry

    I'm in the same boat, I don't want to bring too much, or not have enough. I guess dry runs are the way to go but I don't think I have that option

    Being Offered Drugs on the Road

    I never thought the common sense no nonsense approach of "JUST SAY NO" would ever make sense, but in the end it really does. Maybe not for the kids in those DARE presentations, but for real life drug addicts. Just Say No. I know it feels like it's impossible, but no one really is forcing...

    External Frame packs in city environment question.

    Just because it immediately marks you as homeless, especially in an urban environment. Chicago has pretty strong laws protecting homeless (illinois bill of homeless people's rights) but still, you're walking around with a big framed pack with a sleeping bag and whatever lashed to it, I could see...

    External Frame packs in city environment question.

    What are your experiences lugging an external frame pack in urban areas? Do you get more shit from the cops? Kicked out of stores/public places more? I know certain places have bans on camping packs, but Chicago isn't one of those areas. I'm torn between a more stealthy set up that involves...

    Favorite Songs for Guitar Busking?

    Walk. Smoke on the Water. Toxicity. One. Sanitarium. I dunno what else would be a quintessential annoying song everyone learns when they start playing guitar. Sweet Child of Mine? Obviously Stairway? I'm not asking what you played at that party you brought your first acoustic guitar to in...

    Docs or thrift boots

    I like the ladder lace cause it's really fucking tight and doesn't come loose easy. Issue is taking on and off but for hopping I don't think that's really an issue.

    Docs or thrift boots

    LOL i realize I had it backwards, Those docs look like they'll ruin your feet. The military boots look much more comfortable. I thought the military boots were docs, and the docs were like a set of paratrooper cocorans or something. For some reason I read Docs and thought Timbs, I saw the...

    Docs or thrift boots

    Comfort/utility over fashion, but If you want to be hardcore and punk rock and uncomfortable fuck yeah do it to it. Either your feet will adapt or they wont. I'm flat footed and I've sprained my ankles so many times, I can't afford to look cool.

    Damn, boy my face is red! Sorry, it just seemed like you were having a bad trip. Well, depending on the species, they might not live on a human host. Probably just cat fleas, they'll bite you but you shouldn't have to worry about them making you their home. Good luck with that. wash with...
