So your coming in around Chattanooga? Eastern Tennessee wasn't bad hitching. Not super easy though either. I never had a problem with the cops there (hitchhiking). Stay on the grass. I doubt they will bring you to jail. The cop was just trying to deter you from hitching.
Right I'm not denying that's the case for most addicts. It just didn't happen too me. I got lucky I guess. I also quit heroin cold turkey and people don't believe I did. I know a lot of people who relapse. I just don't make a big deal about getting clean and I think that helps. It was just a...
I was housed up when I used it. I actually take care of myself better mentally and physically when I'm homeless. All of my psychological problems come out when I'm stuck between four walls. Its bizarre really.
I had a friend get me onto it and it made me so fucking paranoid. I couldn't keep...
I'm not condoning it but I have tried it. Watched some very good people deteriorate. It keeps you awake and kills the feeling of hunger which are Two of the biggest problems homeless people deal with. I'm sure I'll get hate for this but I'm just saying I get it that's all.
Got some friends who have had real shit luck on greyhounds. Getting stranded ect. I never had a problem and I have done a few cross country trips in my time. Greyhound travel gets shit on but I think its dumb. We all have one thing in common in the travel community and that's wanderlust. Let's...
Or when I was rubber tramping and would stay in the same place a few times people would rev there engines or park real close and slame there doors. They got no lives, mate.
Just wear layers with a polyester or nylon base layer. Get some of those emergency heat conductor blankets from Walmart and set one up behind you like a tarp. Build your fire. You'll be almost too warm. I have been camping at night in northern Maine for a month now. You could also make a snow...
Well that would be Oligarchy. But yeah he was referring to tyranny of the mob for instance the French revolution. I mean these are 2,000 year old ideas but a lot of his Politics still hold true today. Oddly enough he thought Aristocracy was the best form of rule which would kind of be akin to a...
My knees and back are shot from sleeping on the ground and in tight spaces. I'm only 30. I don't regret the life I chose but I can see why our ancestors died at a young age.
Been on the road since I was 18 with a 4 year break when I thought I was going to go straight (I was miserable and feel...
Universal basic income is the only idea I have heard in response to the AI question. It won't happen though because of idiots who are bitter about "having to work" and seeing others "get something for nothing".
you know the big timers already have an answer for potential civil unrest due to lost jobs from automation. Its militarization of the police force and intimidation tactics.
If we could just sieze all the abandoned buildings and empty houses in the name of the people and give our brothers and sisters (that want it) a place to sleep, I wouldn't have anything to complain about.
Funny how Florida is ranked the "freest state in the country". Its too bad the place is a shit hole because I love the weather. Great place to spend the winter. The people just ruin it. Like every other place.
I started hitching backwards with the east coast and the south and did the pnw last and I was amazed at how easy it was. You can even walk on the highway in Oregon. Wish I learned the ropes out there instead of the east coast.
I had a friend who stayed on Oahu and he said it depends on the area. Its just not very helpful because once again I hear that Oahu and the big island are very different.
No walls yet but you might be better off going through California/Tijuana. The Texas border can be sketchy as fuck (depending on where you are crossing of course).
Yes I have used the search function on the site first of all. Does anyone have any tips as far as stealth camping is concerned? I hear conflicting reports about beach camping. Also how's the dumpstering and food pantry situation?
loitering without drawing attention is a fine art that takes time and patience to perfect. Bey has the right idea when he said to use several different places and rotate days and times you hang around these places. also sleeping in the cold at night can be nigh impossible sometimes so if your...
