Hello there. I just found this neat website that has some pretty awesome sandals and clothing. Some made from hemp. The sandals are so nice looking to me! I'm for sure going to get a pair come payday. For more information, click the link below, please: Nomadic State of Mind: sandals and...

Yep. I went ahead and did it and it actually took 44 hours to complete! I do have an older system; 2002 make/model. I'd have to say, it's really zipping around the web a bit faster now that it's done! (Perhaps something like this only needs to be done once a year or even once every other...

Are the injectioons as bad as you thought they were going to be??? (That's my most, main fear, I guess)! That's having to give these injections to myself!!! Can you still go off and have fun, ever??? Or will I be confined to the space of my new home??? Thanks a lot, I really will keep up...

Hello. This question's for "Matt" or "Widerstand" or "IBRRHOBO".......... I bought and installed "System Mechanic" on my PC. (I'm about to start a defraggler on my "Drive C"). System Mechanic stated this may take as long as two full days to complete. Question is: Why would it take this long...

Thanks! I'll sure follow your posts on how you're doing with treatment, as I'll be starting Interferon around the first of September. (I, of course, have to complete a full one year of it though)! I've read and heard horror stories as well about it, but will hope we are both like those few...

Found this article about a dude living in a cave in Utah. he's also been cash-free for almost 10 years, too! (Click link below, please): COULD YOU SURVIVE WITHOUT MONEY?MEET THE GUY WHO DOES: DETAILS Article on men.style.com

Hello all. I stumbled across this website and I'm glad I did, because this place has good brand name items from, backpacks, knives, flashlights, stoves, boots, tents, bedrolls, socks and just about "ANYTHING" you could need out on the road or rails!!! (I even found "P38" can openers here)! Just...

My Maglight!

On our way to Selkirk, me and another bo got pulled off our train out by the airport in Cleveland, Ohio, by a stupid ass cop and the cop said: "What's your social security number"? I said my SS# real fast-like to him, then he said: "Slow down! I'm not a typewriter"! My partner said: "No! Your a...

Right up my alley here! Mix honey with Gatoraide! Also take a lot of Folic Acid (Folate) and lots of "B-Vitamins" as well! Gargle with alcohol mouthwash too! (This will alow just enough alcohol to seep into your bloodstream through your gums to ease the DT's a tiey bit)............

Most Armadillo's would not die if they were to stay still or ball-up when a train rolls overhead or a car rolls overhead, but what happens is that they jump up from being scared, thus they hit the underside of the train, car, truck, etc, etc, etc and bam/boom/guts/yuck!!! lol!

That's an Armodillo

I hate my life. I agree here! I have had countless people pull over to give me a ride, just in order to ask me if I'd mind sharing a freight train adventure story.....(The most common story they look foreward in hearing is the ones about hopping on the wrong trains, or the ones where the bull...

I believe anybody can do a trip like this! Being, I was still a cronic alcoholic and did not eat right either and made this trip just fine........... Thanks for the reply........

Oh, yeah! I did this quite often when I went from hobo to drunk out on the rails between 1995'ish and 1999'ish! ha ha! I'd be so sick, (not from the alcohol, but from the Amonia and Uric Acid buildup in my system from the booze), that I'd feel so sick I didn't feel up to walking much and I'd...

Sewing up the air-hoses is when the yard-workers walk the length of a train that's been put together and hooks each airline hose together where the cars have been seperated during humping down into the bowl or shucked around down other tracks being put together on the departure tracks...

I hate my life. The more independant you can be out on the rails, the better you are. (You have the say-so on what you do or where you want to go then)! Just get out there on the rails by yourself and learn all you can on your own. Having a crew-change guide or railroad map you don't really...

I'm not sure how/where this post got derailed, but the original story's about the Dempster Hiway in Canada, but the last few posts are about the Dalton Hiway/Haul Road up in Alaska's North Slope Bourough.......haha .....lol! (It doesn't matter, just in case someone new to these posts here under...

Well, with a "Tax and Duty Free" store, the deal is that after you make your purchase, you have to exit into the other country. When I was on the USA side of Nogales, I walked into the "Tax and Duty Free" store there, but in order for them to sell to me, I had to enter Mexico afterwards. Same...

No. It's not illegal to go up there what so ever......There are tons of people that drive this Dalton Hiway! I mean lots of cars and trucks that drive this..... On average, there's roughly a half-dozen cars every minute each direction and it's very different up on the Dalton Hiway hitching! (You...

No that's not true! In the 1980's there used to be a checkpoint about 150 miles north of Fairbanks where only tanker and supply trucks were allowed beyond the checkpoint, but they have sence torn that down and anyone can drive up the Dalton Hiway (Haul Road)! Fences are not allowed on the...

Check out the "Dalton Hiway" there up in Alaska! Catch it just north of Fairbanks and it'll take you all the way north to Prudhoe Bay on the North Slope! (Arctic Ocean area north of the Arctic Circle)! Check out Seward, Alaska while you're there as well! Awesome places! Good luck up in Alaska...

As long as you fear "NO PLACE",........you'll one day get to see them all; like Parke Thompson......(The worlds most traveled human being)!!! Been to all countries on Earth many times over.

I have been to Newfoundland twice and Nunavik Island too. (Newfoundland both times in 1992 and the rock in 1996)..................Both are beautiful to me,...not because they are awesome to the eye, (although they certainly are), but because of the awesomely great people that reside there!!!

That means "Free ride" on anything! (Like a tic or flea is to a dog)! Parasites being on a dog or other mammal taking a free ride......As in train hopping, hitchhiking, etc, etc, etc,........

They "JUST" freed the captain and killed the pairates!!! (Turn on CNN)!!!

That was in 1993..........(In total, I have been up to Alaska 13 times since 1989)!

Looking south back towards the Alaska Hiway while on the Dempster Hiway. It was spring of 1993. I was now on my fourth trip hiking up the Alaska Hiway heading back to Seward, Alaska in the thickness of the hoarding mosquitoes! I truly was terribly far away from the decay of the south! I had...

I can easily say there are about, on average, 75% less folks hopping trains then where 10-12 years ago.

Man! Those Salvation Army blankets that are made from wool are warm eh?! (A lot of people don't know this about those wool blankets either)! They truely are a good warm blankie !!!

Damn, "Arrow"!!! I "JUST" seen "Persepolis" the night-before-last!!! Ha ha! (Quite ironic eh)???! lol!!!

Hello there! I just seen a really well done movie about a homeless couple the other night! Danny Glover and Matt Dillon are the two homeless persons in this movie too! It's called, ....."The Saint of Fort Washington". It's a 1993 film and it follows the two as they become very good friends as...

I've got an "REI" mummy-bag that I'm selling now. (I'm only asking $25.00 too)! It is all in working order, (zippers, no holes). Only used four times too. At first I was skeptical when I first seen it, being it only weighs 8oz!!! (I sware to God)!!! It only weighs 8oz!!! This is why I was...

This is a beautiful piece of weaponry here!!!

I also agree with "Widerstand" in what he's also saying. Most people who would have a firearm place themselves too close to others while in an argument, browl, fight, scuffle, spat, etc, etc, etc......(Whatever type of dissagreement they may have, they are always way too damn close to their...

I never place myself in an area where I can get jumped by somebody with a knife or mace. I always am far from walls, alleys, corners, etc...(for somebody to come up on me with a knife or mace, I'll see them before they get close enough to be within range of their knife or mace. This is why for...

I know that in Texas, you used to be able to carry your firearm on your person visible to others.......(Not sure about now though). Me to as far as someone not pointing a knife at me or threatening me with one, I never cared about having a knife for protection. (I carried one for cutting rope...

I carried a small .22 for about 17 years. I would have it taped to the very bottom of my duffel bag in case the police ever went through my things, it would have a better chance at staying taped to the bottom, being that when the cops search your bags, they usually tump the bag over and hold it...

Me, "Josh" Long-Gone, and "Cosmo" were in camp at the "Red Barn" in Spookaloo way back in like 1990-1991 along with like another few tramps and bo's. "Cosmo" and "Joshua" Long-Gone got into a personal spat verbally. It eventually escallated into a fist-fight! I tried stepping in to break it...

Riding the ferry from Port Jefferson, Long Island to Bridgeport, CT is nice! (Only costs $10.00 walk-on to ride too)!

I hear you! I have been in camps over the last few years and seen used needles and end-caps lying all over, vomit piles where you used to lay your head, and Dairy Queen twist-cone piles of shit 14 inches high "next" to the piles of vomit as well!!! No respect! No respect at all!!! Lot of times...

I'm still amazed I made that entire trip without one flat tire or any mechanical problems either!!! lol!! Ahhhh, I guess if I had somebody else to share the ride with, I'd go again in a heartbeat!!! (I don't mean somebody riding along in my trailer either)!!! Ha ha ha!!!

Man! (Yes indeedy)!!! Counting "EVERY" step on a staircase too!!! (Even when I already know exactly how many steps there are)!!! "NOT" stepping on certain cracks or certain "lines" on the sidewalks too!!! Ha ha!!!

In your case "IBRRHOBO" it's both environmental "AND" organic. Ha ha! Environ"MENTAL"! LOL!!! You just had to remind me about them flaws!!! Ha! (I "HAD" forgotten about them until I read this)! DANG!!! :mad: Oh yeah, "Ravie"..................(I like "EVEN" numbers too)! Things have to add...

Hell yeah brother!!! I saw a lot of good fights in that place too! ha! Even seen three guys jump another "loud mouth" in there and he wound up getting shanked too,........supposedly he died on the way to the hospital from what I'd later heard!

The last time I was at Big Mike's was in 1993 or 1994. There would be a huge pile of packs all in one corner and leather at the bar! ha! After Mike died, I never went back there again. Soon after that, his sister died! That sure was a rambling place back then! I remember when "Pac Man" turned...

You can fly with a rifle or bow. (Of course you have to check them "underneith" the plane)! ha ha! I have seen literally hundreds of people check guns and bows, knives on planes, they just have to be placed under.

Yes. (I'd not do it again)! ha ha!

I just noticed that there was a post about bikes again and traveling by them. (This story about my Alaska bike trip was so, so far down, it was almost gone and forgotten)! I'm doing this post to revive it back into view, so the newest bike lovers may read this entry, being they may enjoy it...

This photo here was taken on the "Haul Road" that runs from just north of Fairbanks to Prudhoe Bay on Alaska's North Slope. (It's an unpaved hiway all the way too)! I actually rode a bicycle from the small township of Seward, Alaska all the way up to Prudhoe Bay while pulling a two-wheeled...
