    A Quick Reintroduction

    Hi, I suppose a short reintroduction is in order. So awesome to see this community so active and alive. Kill me though I can't believe it's been 11 years. Anyone still around from then? Myself: I used to be a bus rat. Trains were always my fascination but because of my Klinefelters and...

    Problem with scanner

    I think he meant that he spent hours looking around his house for the physical manual. And what the fuck was the point of your post? To insult him? Or are you just trying to up your post count to get into the trainhopping forum?

    Problem with scanner

    RadioShack PRO-82 200-Channel VHF/Air/UHF Handheld Scanner (200-0315) You can download the manual there. But I agree man, it doesn't look good. I own a newer model but don't really know enough about scanners to even guess what the problem is. If you bought it off ebay rather recently (like...

    All that BullShit about the collapse of Civilization

    The collapse of Civilization, lol wut? True, in the past certain civilizations have collapsed in the wake of extraneous internal and external conflicts, but it has NEVER caused the apocalyptic fallout so many believe it would. Rome may have fallen, but it didn't throw Europe into a constant...

    Yellowstone NP

    If you don't have the cash for a bus ticket, hitching would be the quickest/easiest option. Else you could take the BNSF to Laurel (Denver > Cheyenne > Casper > Laurel), then take an MRL to Livingston/Bozeman. Of course you'd still need to hitch from there.

    What classifies someone as a "slut"?

    Wow man, and I thought it was impossible to get conversation this stimulating outside of facebook.

    Salutations!

    Just remember to use the search function and read old threads before asking questions because the answer may have already been posted. Not a whole lot of trainhoppers left on these boards, but good luck!

    Dnc/rnc 2012?

    Ahh yes, the "false-flag vandalism" theory proposed by Alex Jones. Seriously though, I just wish that the more liberal states like California and New York would see the benefit of decentralization (like the ability to dictate their own drug and health insurance laws) instead of trying to force...

    New Puppy

    IIRC it's usually at least 8 weeks before puppies have been fully weened. But if he takes to eating dry food right away you should be fine. If he absolutely wont eat any dry dog food you might need to buy some esbilac powder (puppy formula) and give that to him for a week or two while he gets...

    KELOLAND.com | Sioux Falls News & Weather, South Dakota News & Weather, Minnesota and Iowa News If you click on the link there are some pictures, one showing a softball size crater that one of the hailstones left. Might ruin your day if you were hit by one of those.

    AHHH, the fool moon!

    Increased animal activity is if anything, probably due to the fact that it is more light out due to the moon. And that light makes it easier to see wild animals that you might otherwise not. But I checked wikipedia, and there doesn't appear to be any correlation whatsoever between a full moon...

    Four wheeler/ATV

    There are cities where ATVs are street legal, but it varies from place to place. And you're damn likely to get pulled over if you're driving that thing on the interstate (though highways would likely be fine as farmers do it all the time). Truth be told, I'm not sure if you could find many...

    Ego tripping with the phrase "my girlfriend" or "my boyfriend"

    This thread seems like some chan shit to me. But usually when a woman I've recently met decides to mention or introduce "her boyfriend", I usually interpret that as nice way of her saying "Hey fucko, quit hitting on me, I'm taken". Never really considered it a possessive thing.

    GreyHound to california

    As someone who just rode Greyhound, yeah it sucks fucking balls. The floors on some of the buses I rode were sticky as fuck, a few people had some serious BO. Unless you've ridden Greyhound a few times before, you won't fall asleep on that bus. And most Greyhound employees are complete assholes...

    hitching through texas

    I just passed through Amarillo Texas the other day by greyhound, when we were leaving town I saw a guy with his dog trying hitch east from one of the on ramps. Due to some driver bullshit we ended up having to turn around and go back to the station. When we were finally leaving Amarillo again...

    Should I bring my iPhone?

    maybe check out Citrix for the Iphone that or maybe an Eee PC running *nix and GNURadio would be fairly manageable in the thick of things.

    Sneaking into hotels/gyms

    A lot of the motels I've seen still use older pin tumbler locks to secure rooms. Taking into consideration the fact that these locks were probably manufactured on the cheap and built to be master key'd, even a novice lockpicker could pick/rake them in a relatively short amount of time (<90sec)...

    Weapon Sites

    I've checked out some of the sites I've dealt with in the past (and trust), but none of them seem to accept paypal. If Paypal is absolutely your only option, buy your stuff on Ebay, likely the cheapest you'll find the stuff anyways. Just make sure you check the sellers feedback before dealing...

    Legality of carrying knives (and other weapons?)

    I live in South Dakota and getting a CWP is pretty easy here. So long as you pass the background check and pay a $10 processing fee the permit is yours. I believe we also have the highest percentage of permit issues per eligible citizen, with some counties being over 11%. Safety classes seem...

    Area in America to rough it

    To anyone that's interested, I know of a piece of rarely used private land that's located up in the Black Hills (South Dakota). It's of good size, and located just outside a small town called Custer. Once you get to Custer, there's a highway heading south out of town, if you take it for a few...

    Hows Flagstaff?

    I had wanted to go back in January, but I kept hearing on the news they were getting pounded repeatedly by snow. Made me laugh a bit, too bad for those old folks.

    Hows Flagstaff?

    I finally got some money together again and am thinking of greyhounding out to Flagstaff AZ. Apart from the Grand Canyon, is there anything to do there/check out? And is Flagstaff an easy place to hop out of for someone who's fairly inexperienced?

    Crust punk recommendations?

    "From Ashes Rise" were only given passing mention but they are by far my favorite crust band. they're one of the few bands I actually own albums from. Check out the "Nightmares" LP, great shit. "Totalt Jävla Mörker" is a great Swedish crust band too. "Cursed" aren't technically crust, they're...

    Bump key

    I have some. They do work great but it does require some practice (though not nearly as much as actually picking the lock). It's fairly easy to make your own but if you have absolutely no idea what you're doing you can end up jamming the key inside of the lock requiring a locksmith to remove the...

    Some horrible infestation

    I'm not sure about the welts, but everything else sounds like scabies. Permethrin is used for scabies (it's an insecticide after all), but I doubt your cream is strong enough to wipe them out. The wash cycles are most likely killing the scabies on your gear, but unless you kill the ones on your...

    anybody got any ideas for cheap knives??

    Brand isn't a huge deal, but blade steel is. Look at the writing on any blade before you purchase it, if it just says "Stainless Steel" on the bottom of the blade pass on it, these knives are never well made. What you want to look for is a knife that will tell you exactly what type of steel it's...

    Now for a rather unpleasant topic

    I did a bit of searching on this site but couldn't find a thread that covered this topic, Removing human waste from squats. I'd like to know what methods some of you city squatters use to dispose of your waste. I know that it's going to be dirty business by any method, but having feces lying...

    Hi, names Tao

    Sorry I haven't replied sooner, my internet access is limited. But I chose Vegas for a few reasons. First my local airport is fairly small and there aren't many places they fly to, and a flight to Vegas is dirt cheap (almost twice as cheap as getting a greyhound ticket, I've checked). Secondly...

    Hi, names Tao

    Yeah I meant Bulls, couldn't think of the proper term. As far as clothes, I don't mind dirt or anything, I'm from South Dakota. I'm just not sure what the rate of wear on my clothes would be. But thanks for the heads up, that'll make my load quite a bit lighter. I didn't really plan on coming...

    Hi, names Tao

    Greetings. I've never actually squatted before but it's always been of great intrest to me, and I really want to give it a try. Right now I'm not doing anything with my life, I'm 20, have been out of school for well over a year and am currently leeching off my parents . Because of my grades...
