    First time out, not much of a plan yet

    if you have any other options, do not bring your cat with you. most cats are not at all suited to this kind of life, and you're brand new to this and don't know what you're doing.

    Is it worth ditching my tarp for a bivy?

    Definitely bivy. Way better at keeping you dry and protected from the wind, and they’re breathable so you don’t get soaked from condensation. As a bonus they don’t make that annoying crinkling sound. Tarps are miserable in comparison. I’ve got one of the old USGI ones like the camo one in this...

    Any leads on where to find cheap land online?

    Is Nevada having the same problems AZ is having regarding wells, where you just have to keep drilling wells deeper and deeper? (I'm talking specifically regarding wells. I know that AZ, NV, CA and MX share a water source and there's major problems regarding that)

    Any leads on where to find cheap land online?

    Can't vouch for them but I browse smile4uinc.com sometimes. Some of the listings are kind of lame (most of the ones in KS/MO are like... fishing lake getaway type things) but the ones out west are mostly actual land. There's one 5 acre spot in AZ for 3k right now.

    Snake bites, your dog or you

    Not sure where else this is available but in AZ it's common for people to take their dogs to rattlesnake avoidance training. It's supposed to be very effective.

    grey man/anonimity

    I traveled with a bike for a while and I had a few funny experiences with this. One was in Niland, CA. I was walking a stopped stack train looking for a ride when I saw a vehicle in the distance, driving along the tracks toward me. I figured it was BP and I wasn't too concerned but I didn't...

    An interesting fact to cheer you up

    Aren't you the same person who equated owning an NRA sticker to domestic terrorism? Yet you think it's just swell for someone to unknowingly feed someone else semen or blood? What in the fuck is wrong with you guys?

    Vaccinations good or government 'spiracy? Lessons from San Diego

    This comment got me curious so I looked it up. The Pew Research Center and several other institutions have found that antivaxxers are pretty evenly distributed across political parties. Also, amusingly, both sides thinks the other side is more likely to be anti-vax: Anyway yes vaccines are...

    Shariah Metzger, Jace Lee Greene, Zack Greene (aka Spoons) for animal torture in Asheville

    So, without getting the police involved, how do you propose that evidence is collected as to how the cat died? Crowdfunding an autopsy? Then what? I know this is not a popular opinion here but there is absolutely a time for getting the police involved and this is it. Of course, even if they...

    Shariah Metzger, Jace Lee Greene, Zack Greene (aka Spoons) for animal torture in Asheville

    JESUS FUCKING CHRIST Somehow they manage to make it this far in life (really, it's amazing to me that they remember to breathe) and their accomplishments amount to those of a psychopathic 5 year old. Killing and torturing a sweet defenseless animal in an attempt to make their instagram friends...

    Any online students?

    I am working on a bachelors degree online and I would not want to try to do this while traveling. When I take exams there is a proctor who watches over webcam and there cannot be anyone else in the room, or any noise in the background. This would be hard to do while traveling. Even just...

    California knife laws

    Not necessarily. States laws on this vary wildly and can be really hard to track down. Here's a few that I found by looking at the red state laws: Arkansas See 3.2a at https://static.ark.org/eeuploads/asp/Arkansas_concealed_handgun_carry_license_rules_effective_1-1-2018.pdf Ohio (though they...

    California knife laws

    This is incorrect. I can't speak as to how it relates to knives (if at all) but as for firearms there are several states where you legally have to inform them that you are carrying, even if they don't ask. The red states below are like this. https://www.usacarry.com/duty-to-inform-laws/ In the...

    Kombucha for feeling good and for DT's

    While I can't say I've noticed any "immediate" benefits from kombucha, I've been having a bottle a day and it's pretty much eliminated my lactose intolerance. Being able to eat some cheese pizza without severely regretting it was a really nice side effect that I was not expecting.

    Video The Free Tea Bus - Crazy Awesome Bus Conversion

    I met him in Green River, Wyoming probably around 2010, on a hillside at the spot I was going to wait for a train at. Only hung out with him for a couple hours before one of us caught out, but he was good company. He made some claims regarding rides he had done that seemed a bit far-fetched but...

    My best friend is missing from Wilsonville, OR

    I get that you have good intentions here but this is absolutely terrible advice. Possibly leading to involuntary commitment of the guy who is missing, and/or charges of filing a false police report for the OP.

    Cheap but good quality sleeping bag?

    I've always been a huge fan of Snugpak for high quality budget sleeping bags. The Travelpak 2 which is pretty small and light, and is good down to ~27-32F, is $39 shipped on amazon. The Travelpak 4 goes down to ~14-19F, for $53 shipped on amazon. Paired with a USGI goretex bivy ($50ish on...

    Whats in your tool kit? Favorite tools? What I carry for a motorbike.

    Also Knipex pliers wrenches are amazing, I use them several times a day. I have them in the 5" and 10" sizes. For me they completely replaced crescent wrenches, mostly replaced channel locks and often fill the role of open/box end wrenches, usually doing the job better than any of the above. Not...

    Whats in your tool kit? Favorite tools? What I carry for a motorbike.

    Since that's a Japanese bike there's a good likelihood that those are JIS screws, not Phillips. If that's the case, Phillips screwdrivers will fit more or less but are much more prone to camming out and fucking up the screw. JIS screwdrivers work great in both JIS and Phillips screws, and can be...

    90 is going to be obscenely huge and you aren't addressing the size fit wise. Most good hiking packs will come in ~3 fit sizes per capacity size..
