    News & Blogs Hitchhiking across Russia

    After spending the last few years sailing and abusing Duolingo/italki.com, I've been teetering back and forth between going to Russia or Ukraine as an English teacher or Just chilling out some place in the woods, USA and becoming a mushroom farmer or something. When the corona virus started, I...

    My guide to Austin, Texas

    @Matt Derrick I'm falling victim to the opinion that out of towners are making the prices go up by moving to Texas with their huge money saturation from the jobs they used to have elsewhere. San Marcos was a pretty small town with $400-$500 studios and a clam skyline just 10 years ago, then all...

    Which State has the best homeless resources in your opinion

    California. haha Food stamps that let you buy hot-food like McDonalds and Dominos, really swanky homeless shelters, allowance cards, free bus tickets to any place in the USA that will answer the phone and say "yeah, i know that guy"... not to mention the weed trimming scene. if you show up in...

    off my head i'd say to replace the canvas with corrugated steel or something, but thats just as likely to get blown away...i realize i'm essentially talking about making a home made RV, but at $5000 you can't really get something that isn't already half stripped for parts and splitting at the seams.

    Tiny, tinyhouse?

    I bought a tinyhouse book with a picture of this guy who built a barrel sauna onto a 25ft trailer that looked really badass. it was sectioned out and looked kinda like a sailboat- then the back section was split left and right for two private cabins. i'd go with the layers canvas top more...

    Tiny, tinyhouse?

    I'm not some indoor cat who broke loose. I drew my circle and that's all there is to it. I'm wanting to leave Texas and move to Cascadia. you can move a tiny home cross-country without wrecking on trees, bumps or crazy corners if it isn't one of those huge double-wide trailers. its exactly...

    Tiny, tinyhouse?

    Last time I rented a place it was $700 a month with $700 deposit and I was barely making $1000 a month. It was a one bedroom apartment on the top floor of one of those complexes. I didn't have the furniture to live in the living room, let alone spread out into a whole other room with a closet...

    Tiny, tinyhouse?

    I don't want someone hanging around saying all the reasons they wouldn't want to do or not do something in pursuit of a life; sure there are some valid points in the world, about the world, leading all kinds of ways around the world- but some of us actually live *outside* and i'm one of the ones...

    Tiny, tinyhouse?

    1. I found this really spiffy looking all metal car carrier thats got an 8x18 deck and a GVWR of 7,000lbs thats for $886, but the guy hasn't written me back yet. the tinyhouse forum people on say the trailer should be about 18% of your total build cost, so i figured $1000 trailer is a good...

    Tiny, tinyhouse?

    The upshot of this would be that an RV comes with its GVWR tag and a title with its max weight capacity written out. haha I *could* do that, but i'm not wanting to make a huge pile of RV scrap. my mom said i could use her giant airplane hanger garage to build something. it's pretty cut and dry...

    Tiny, tinyhouse?

    So i've been daydreaming over all these tinyhouse videos on youtube after watching videos about sailboat life and converting busses into houses- but I just want to live in something like a comically small, sturdy studio apartment on a bumper-pull trailer for the next 4-8 years. with Sailboat...
