    Question A question regarding the bike i bought for bike touring

    It's the bike you have, who cares what people on the internet say. Put a rack and bags on it and go. It's a fine bike until it isn't, if it works, it works. Just go!

    How are you doing? Happy Easter. Happy 4/20.

    Spent the day in a park with my dog, hanging out with the older crowd that day drinks. Smoked a bunch of weed too. I started out my day down by the creek and made fried potatoes and tea for breakfast this morning. Got kicked down vegan wings and spent the day sitting in the sun petting my dog...

    Favorite airport to sleep in?

    I've only ever slept in one airport in Regina, Saskatchewan. I made friends with the cleaning staff and had a great time despite the circumstances of why I was sleeping there in the first place. I was working in the province and my grandmother had passed away. The contractor I was working for...

    First train hop

    How are you going to identify your "ztrain"? It's a specific train. How do you know which IM it is? Wait until you find out about bringing bags. 😋 In all honesty that "confidence" you have is just the right amount to end up in trouble and that can look like many things from being arrested...

    should I wear camo pants in public or should I go more casual when homeless

    I don't suggest it as when you're spanging people may mistake you for a GI Joe and make finger guns at you while shouting "Pew! Pew!"

    how to travel with kids?

    I second the "don't" reccomendation. Not saying you can't do it but that "the state" and various institutions will most likely take issue with raising children like this which will make your life much harder.

    Shots fired, Didn't stay long

    In Spokane Washington, found a shooting in town. Suspect was arrested a few days ago but according to the inter-webs it's an 1.5hr walk from Sta Plaza. Couldn't find anything closer that was recent. Weird. 🤷‍♂️

    Sounds wild, got a link to a news story about the shooting? Seen there was a police shooting there about a month ago and a few other issues in the past including limiting washroom access to combat public drug use.

    Has anyone crossed the Rainey river from Canada to America or vise versa

    That's the point I was making when I said get a passport as well. Hard to expect to be spoon-fed info like this without any real contribution from the user requesting said info.

    Has anyone crossed the Rainey river from Canada to America or vise versa

    As in swim across? I don't reccomend it. 🤣 Get a passport and it shouldn't any more difficult than any other border crossing location. https://visitsunsetcountry.com/rainy-river-ontario-canada
