I just bought this: It's 30" wide and it came in the mail today; it's got to be the most comfortable pad I've ever owned. It's more comfortable than a regular bed. Weighing in at 1lb 12oz, it's hefty, but it packs down small, and seems to be worth the weight. I've been skeptical of air pads...

Was curious about experiences with this. I've got a spot I know of by some nice moving water where I know virtually no one ever goes. It's close enough to resources - library, bar, post office, places to find a day's work, etc - but very seldom traveled. It's a stream valley with extremely steep...

I felt that I risked derailing the "Matt Derrick is a Fascist" thread with a discussion that emerged on identity politics, so I thought I'd move my reply over here. Feel free to join in. Thanks for the engaging reply. Obviously, to forego the use of "mammals" and "amphibians" as categories is...

Howdy! It's been a long winter, and I'm looking forward to celebrating spring with some like-minded souls. I was chatting with some people in an anti-civ forum I frequent, and we were lamenting of the ways in which our perspective has alienated us from other people, even within the "anarchist"...

http://www.ihpva.org/home/ These guys are going to be meeting up and doing a speed run through the high desert in NV in a week or so. They've had fairing-covered recumbent bikes do 70+mph there before, entirely powered by the human body. I'm moving too slow to make it there in time...

Because why not?

Anyone get into this mode of bike life? Right now I have a Catrike road.. The laid back position is incredibly comfortable, and the rider is able to draw an immense amount of power from against the seat. Hills are not the easiest until one gets their 'recumbent legs' and highway visibility to...

https://www.theguardian.com/world/interactive/2013/jan/15/gun-laws-united-states I am considering getting an Arizona concealed carry permit this year, a permit which is recognized by some 37 states, and 3 of the non-recognizing states are open carry states. That is all but ten states in which I...

Pretty good video about installing a CB on your bike. I think I may install this on my motorized recumbent trike so that I have the option of being social anywhere I'm at, or radioing for help / weather updates, or maybe even finding some work (?). I even wonder whether, as a bike tourer, it'd...

Some of you may know this man.... the king of the camp kitchen, writer of sake-drunken rants, and master of homegrown scholarship... he is currently passed out on our new rug, a moosehead ale in hand.... A wild @creature in his natural habitat!

This my most recent endeavor: The Rust Temple. A warehouse space for artists, dropouts, survivalists, cyberpunks, and all manner of freaks to congregate and create whatever they please. Starting at $80 monthly, we're looking for folks to fill the space with, and we have a LOT of room. We're...

WHO'S the lord of snickers bars, the drive-thru pigeon pimp, pumping down America's streets, slick with grease and tanning lotion, the lord of drag queens and mountain dew, the gasoline-sluggin' bastard who's gotchya, no matter what? YOU'VE heard of the Godfather, well baby, forget all that -...

1547: "If it happens that a vagabond has been idling about for three days, he is to be taken to his birthplace, branded with a red-hot iron with the letter V on the breast and be set to work, in chains, in the streets or at some other labour."...

From a Yelp review, not my writing: An island where patience is a virtue Patience Island is a small, very uninhabited island of a little over 200 acres. I say very uninhabited because nobody goes here. It's only about 500 or so feet away from the north part of Prudence Island and although...

Homepage Sign in / Sign up Nina Ray Dec 5, 2016 A World Without Rape If we really want to end sexual violence, we need to think more about support and less about punishment. Two weeks ago I saw the man who raped my best friend. I hadn’t seen his face since right before it happened a year and a...

I have, eh, maybe $500. And I have a typewriter with which I can write poems in the street for money (in English). Should I get more if I intend to bike or hitch around indefinitely in Europe?

Here's a whole bunch of photos to check out from some recent winter journies with a bunch of StP folks. @Notmyname @LeeenPocket @Yancwhatchuwanttho

thinking of crossing the border in McAllen to Reynosa, en route to central america. The region of south Texas seems like a mystery to me, particularly around the gulf. Anyone been? What is going on down there? Also: are the small-town cops really as harsh as I've heard?
