    Decent Rain Proof Tent?

    It was,was in the process of taking it down. No fun to sleep in a wet tent. I had the msr hubba in the past, 1 person variety. I put it away damp into storage, couldn’t deal with the mold smell...

    Decent Rain Proof Tent?

    I have been hanging out the past few days at a nice spot by a stream in Upstate NY on a friends property. In the past 24 hours, we got like 3 inches of rain. Usually I build a shelter or hang a hammock, but no place for either. Left yesterday before the rains hit and just returned to my...

    R.I.P. Rosa

    It may or not be a painless death for the person who unfortunately overdoses, but it is most definitely painful for those who knew and loved the person. I saw a documentary on TV about heroin once. It said that dealers will spike some of their offerings with fatal doses of Fentanyl because...

    R.I.P. Rosa

    Shit man. Sorry for your loss. I bet she was such a chill person. I’m glad you are continuing on in her memory. Having a shot for Rosa. Heroin is a killer man, lost too many good people to it.

    Stupid Hurricane hitting NC

    Thanks @siid. Told him if he needs help I'll head down. I've ridden out a few storms myself, this will be his first one. Like him I typically don't give about mandatory evacuations, but I get my shit together before shit happens. He isn't.

    Stupid Hurricane hitting NC

    I'm freaking out a bit regarding this hurricane hitting NC. My cousin lives on the coast, directly in the storm path. He has a pet racoon that roams during the day, but comes back to chill at his place at night. My cuz is ignoring evacuation orders because he doesn't want his coon to try to...

    News & Blogs Bussed Out: How America Moves it's Homeless

    Doesn't surprise me. Rather then help out those that need help, a ticket to another city is apparently what the local [resident] population wants so they don't have to deal with the homeless. I will say, some homeless want to be homeless. I get that and agree. But the people who are homeless...

    Something really terrible happened today

    Shit he sounds like a bad drunk- but... molesting somebody is not acceptable and a huge issue. Line was crossed. Hang in there. I’m sure this is hard on you but keep your head up. Sorry you have to deal with this.

    Best cop spotting apps?

    Another option is getting a BaoFeng UV-5R. They are like 30 bucks on amazon and get all of the rr, police, and even aviation frequencies. I know the older ones allowed you to transmit on the frequencies as well, not sure about the newer ones. It is against FCC rules to transmit though.

    Featured Accidental Ocean Sailing

    Yea never fun when the tides don't go your way. Water is powerful! My solo sailing was mostly in and around the Hudson River and Long Island. I had my engine die on me with no wind going though Hell Gate on the East River. Horrible stretch to sail anyway, this compounded the issue. Glad...

    Photos Sailing my boat from Cape Cod to Newport Rhode Island

    That's awesome! I just sold my boat. Was too much to single hand. It was a 79' Hunter 37C. A friend of mine is a delivery skipper so when I get the urge to sail I just crew with him now. I lived on mine for a while, but it got old... and expensive quick.

    Best places in America?

    Catskill Mountains, NY. Used to be "the destination.'" For camping out, places everywhere. A rail line runs through the area, and the Walmarts still allow overnight parking.

    Swimmin holes across the USA!

    We have some cool spots in the Saugerties / Woodstock area of NY. Kaaterskill Falls has a sick spot behind the falls. It's a 2 tier 260' drop. In the middle is the spot. Lots of action from tourists now though on weekends, and the state is making up regulations because people keep falling...

    Hello From Woodstock, NY

    Been in the Woodstock area now for quite some time. Might be time to get back to my past. Traveled heavily from NY thoughout the US up until a few years ago. I'm building a wilderness get away now that I'll use throughout the winter, then come spring I'll decide where to go. I used to teach...
