    staying warm on the road? how to, tips and/or gear advice?

    Newspaper is a fantastic insulator. It's lightweight and it's free. If you need a few degrees extra protection, line your coat, pants, shoes, sleep bag, anything at all with a few pages. You'll feel like a jackass the first time you do it, but you'll stop feeling like a jackass when you see how...

    Hey everyone just wanted to say this site rocks

    Look at stale foreclosures that havent been sold to a private owner, or look for listings of bank-owned properties in your area. A cursory google search of where you're at shows it's a bit tourist-y with lots of state park land -- That usually means foreclosures get snatched up pretty fast, but...

    How do I begin to plan my route?

    If I had that much time to plan that long of a trip, under the most ideal conditions of having the time here's what I would do: Plan an A route and a B route, one being an ideal route northern route and one skewed south of your ideal route because most of the big potential detours look like...

    In a bad spot but got plenty of litter? Here's an easy chain crochet using plastic bags as a sleep mat. Bonus points, throw this whole thing in a bin bag lined with newspaper and you've got a pretty cozy thermal sleep mat!

    Bernie Sanders

    500 a month in savings is a ridiculous amount even if you're steadily employed. Trying to get 100 travelers to do anything is already enough like herding cats, let's not turn this into a high fantasy of 100 people somehow getting solid above living wage jobs with 500 a month in disposable income.

    Good morning everyone!!

    Sorry to hear about your situation. That sounds really rough. With an old dog like that, you're probably gonna want to stick to ride shares and hitching. And stay away from Rainbow if you don't know your way around yet. Easy entry, but greenhorns are a mark for scams in that community in the...

    Looking for ideas for an “unethical” app

    on my first round test for a similar thing (mentioned above) with referral/invite codes, this security measure was bypassed with a "cop" (in actuality, a friend acting as a cop would in order to test this feature) gaining physical access to the phone of a user. That "cop" then sent an invite...

    Looking for ideas for an “unethical” app

    Waze is a little different because it's reactive to real-time police initiatives in a way that prior to Waze was reserved for people who had the money to install a scanner or radar alert in their car. The nature of Waze is that, it responds to how police change, police don't change in response...

    Looking for ideas for an “unethical” app

    I very strongly prefer to keep information like this as word-of-mouth only and not even share it online. When a spot, scam, loophole, or patrol gets blown up for everyone to see, it gets fixed up REAL fast and stops being relevant. Your app will be racing against people whose living it is to...

    I'm trans and there's no way in fuck I could beat any MMA fighter in a fight under any circumstances. The question asker is not trans, and there's no way in fuck he could beat any MMA fighter in a fight. The great equalizer in competition is discipline. Not genitals. Also, bathrooms are for...

    The Pronouns Thread

    This word is mostly a word used today in pornography that fetishizes the freakishness of the "chick with a dick" having sex. It's exploitative as fuck, but beyond that, it's something that most of us (for real, MOST trans people) have heard in a hateful way thrown at us at some point in our...

    The Pronouns Thread

    I've been bad about checking back on this thread, I've got a bit of catch-up to do. A lot of this has already been addressed, but re-stating a bit won't hurt nobody. The issue of "They" being a misgendering term relies almost entirely upon the speaker not shifting this to "he" or "she" when...

    The Pronouns Thread

    100% of the time, yes. That's a word I'd much prefer I only hear other trans people use in reference to each other, and even then only in a very friendly way. Non-trans people should not be using this word.

    Honestly, what's confusing? The way I write is really backwards to some people, I get that, so maybe it's just something I can rephrase or try another route on? I'd really like to foster understanding moreso than just let people be confused.

    Emma was a really friendly, welcoming, and supportive person in the midwest-to-south folk punk and travel circuit.

    That was my own fault in poor contextual editing, @Engineer J Lupo -- I absolutely did mean to mark that as paraphrasing and not a direct quote from you. That was supposed to be more like, this is how that sounds to me, not this is what you said exactly. My apologies for that. Which, no, I...

    Which injuries do you regret the most and why?

    Landscaping is the worst. That shit ate my legs and hands. Money was right, though. My most regrettable injury was from when I was a kid in scouts and a friend dared me to cannonball off of a stack of firewood onto the sidewalk. Now I can't feel my left knee. Oops!

    LETS TALK ABOUT RAPE!

    I've been assaulted while hitching once by a stranger, but generally speaking when this has happened to me it has been people I know who did it. Especially after I'd come out as trans, men who were close to me must have seen that as some kind of an "in." You aren't alone, you'll never be alone...
