    Workamping in the Eastern Seirras Sucks

    Here is the thing guys. None of you know me at all. You want to attack my post for whatever not that constructive reason, cool. That was my experience. You have a different one? post it, I wont be a dick and attack you for it. I was posting to be helpful. I'm really disappointed by the...

    Workamping in the Eastern Seirras Sucks

    The two points are separate. I'm not using anybody as a tool. that's just like your opinion man. The point is, nobody is living off the land anymore. nobody is subsistence hunting in the sierras, we cannot go back to a time before Europeans fucked up the balance of ecosystems that used to...

    So you do care actually? Here is the thing about fossil fuels. Animal Agriculture releases more carbon than fossil fuels at this point. If I could afford an electric car, that's what I'd have, but I live in a van, so by nature of living in the world we currently inhabit, where I am forced by...

    Workamping in the Eastern Seirras Sucks

    The part you should feel guilty about and I suspect you already do, because if you truly didn''t give a fuck you wouldn't be writing back, is this; It is totally unnecessary to eat meat. Your enjoyment does not preempt another beings right to life. Plants are not considered sentient, even...

    You literally cannot get more than 7 miles from a road. That is a fact. The furthest from a road in the US you can be is in Yellowstone NP and it's about 7 miles. Sorry to burst your bubble. Please show me my contradiction. We are not Lewis and Clark you dumb shit. I provide for myself the...

    Workamping in the Eastern Seirras Sucks

    By nature killing is cruel, from that axiom I am totally willing to deduce that not recognizing that is stupid. So I fail to see how this is a generalizatrion. You cannot be a hunter and not be cruel, so either it's plain stupidity or cognative dissonance and refusal to engage with empathy...

    I disagree completely that without hunters we'd lose the wilderness. We have lost the wilderness and it is because of hunters, but I agree completely about the instagram #getoutside people. I love ultralite stuff because I have a bad back though and canvass military packs just don't cut it. I...

    So here is the thing, if we were talking about criticism, I can take that, when some guy comes on here swinging with hostility I'm going to swing back. I say things like snowflake tounge in cheek and obviously some people aren't really familiar with sarcasm. Also the idea thst this is city...

    Workamping in the Eastern Seirras Sucks

    I actually find it kind of hillarious how easy it is to bring you opinionated snowflakes out from the woodworks. Anytime somebody drops a fact you're just around the corner with nothing substantial but a moronic opinion to slam them with. Now that that's out of the way, you want to be discuss...

    you're an idiot. these people are from rural cali or Nevada, I talk to them and then I clean up their trash. Outdoorsman have this narrative monopolized and it's absolute lunacy to believe, like they are "controlling populations," of what? stocked fish and quail? give me a break. Its...

    So, prima facia that's what I thought the job would be like, but it's actually more work than it looks like to the outside world. We have one LEO for about 300 square miles up here. As somebody that doesn't believe in the police I don't call them unless somebody is burning the park down which...

    Workamping in the Eastern Seirras Sucks

    So I kind of felt inclined to share my experience as a campsite host thus far, mostly as a warning to anybody thinking of doing this, but there have been some good moments as well. I found a job in Humboldt Toiyabe National Forest on workampingjobs.com. In fact I had like three offers from...

    Van, bus or trailer?

    So, personally I like the trailer idea. If your truck does, you just get a new one and don't lose your whole rig. The downside is that a lot of places don't let you just park them on city streets... I think it could be easy to get around by slapping a landscaping or plumbing logo on it and...

    Sounds cool. I'd definitely be interested once you get water hooked up.

    Injured my back.

    I kind of figured. My response was a little tounge in cheek as well, but I'm not always great at internet sarcasm. lol. Joking aside, it did cross my mind, but it's not for me.

    Injured my back.

    I'm on medicaid now, but they want me to go to physical therapy for a few weeks before trying anything else and I went once and was immobile for a few days afterward, so it's kind of a bunch of bullshit. I've found some stretches to be helpful, as well as rolling my back on tennis balls, but...

    Injured my back.

    Yeah, but I rule it out based on my tolerance to risk, which isn't high, my lack of a social network wherein exists demand for anything that would be profitable and the fact that I don't know anybody from which I could acquire product at scale. I'm not a particularly out going person, which is...

    Injured my back.

    So, I have been living in my van for a while, was living and working in Portland and developed a back injure from being on my feet and repeatative motion(I can no longer deny that I am over 30). I made a stupid decision to house up at a friends house across the country to try to recover. So I...

    Is there anywhere wild left in america?

    I think this largely depends on what you consider wilderness. For the most part, every parcel you would want to stake out is owned by somebody. Public lands have a lot of rules and don't exactly smile on people living off the land. That is not to say that there is nowhere to live wild, I just...

    Featured The Ultimate Wifi Stealing Setup

    So, I noticed that debian's pastebin took the code down on this project. I have been working on a similar project and would be happy to post the github link, but don't want to step on any toes here. Figured it would be good to mention here though, since I am sure there are lots of other van...

    Ask me anything about vehicle repair

    Thank you for the expansive response. I do need to get I jack actually. My van was a Comcast service van in it's previous van and it had a server rack, which I had to sawzall out piece by piece because it was welded in, but to that end it also had two 90AH deep cycle batteries, which are...

    Ask me anything about vehicle repair

    I have a 1999 GMC Savana van, what general purpose tools should I have on the road with me when I travel? What are common points of failure? What kind of stuff should I not attempt to fix myself aside from the transmission? I really appreciate you offering to share your knowledge, it is...

    I'm all alone and scared.

    This is a really unfortunate post. Traveling can be really rewarding, but being thrust into it without being prepared is definitely scary, but you aren't alone. I think many of us start off traveling in a way we hadn't previously expected. I think this is a totally valid response. I really...

    I'm back, thanks for still being here.

    Hi everybody, I haven't posted in a while, forgot my username and pw so I made a new account. I have been on here for years, but intermittently. Anyway, it's good to be back. I'm glad to see things are still thriving here.
