    STP treehouse commune?

    Yup, a very real possibility to take into consideration, in Big Sur too, and some other pocket areas, just be smart, and if you find some plants, turn around and walk the way you came. Not only is it the people who own the land, but it's been a big and fast growing problem that the Mexican...

    STP treehouse commune?

    Yeah, I'd be down to help out with projects, I have similar plans of my own, and am sure there's several people here that do as well, maybe we can start a network or something. Kind of hard to make a commitment to live with folks you've never met before though, of course. Start learning...

    All that BullShit about the collapse of Civilization

    Civilization, as has been stated, is generally the rise of dense centralized populations (urbanization, cities) dependent upon intensive agriculture. All those things you mentioned are culture, and have existed in some form or another since probably the dawn of man, but the extreme complexity...

    All that BullShit about the collapse of Civilization

    Well, wanting the collapse of industrial civilization and thinking it's imminent are two different things. I think we have other threads here for the discussion of whether civilization is "good" or "bad" so I'll try to keep it simple and on topic here. In the big picture, you can't argue that...

    SaberCut Saw

    If you search, like yahoo shopping or something, you can find a kershaw for just a little more than the Gerber. Gerber's quality is shit now. The Kershaw is a quality saw and not that expensive.

    SaberCut Saw

    You can tie paracord around the handles of the sabre saw and throw it over a branch to cut up high, but its a pain in the ass and you pretty much have to stand right under it, which isnt very safe. I like the folding saw because its really easy to use and cuts fast, especially the kershaw, which...

    Travelers in the Wrong; My rant on selfish arrogant dirty kids

    It all depends on who you associate with. I guess its easier for me to avoid because I'm older and don't look like your typical traveler kid, but I come across the kids you're talking about in my travels, I just ignore them. I prefer camping out to squats, which helps alot too. Hopefully you and...

    Nice! Only one of my grandmothers spoke it, came over from Romania. I asked my dad for something cool to say, he told me "zy nischit azoi klieg:" "don't be so smart." That's the most appropriate of his limited Yiddish vocabulary:D

    Ha! Maybe. I understand what they're trying to do, and it's admirable, but I think some basic respect, compassion and tolerance is more genuine and beneficial than so many definitions, divisions, isms, etc. The problems they address are mostly socially constructed, and it seems like they're...
