I thought this might be a helpful and comprehensive guide to making as much of your own gear as you can. :) Enjoy! http://www.backpacking.net/makegear.html

thanks all of YOU! your comments validate all of my experiences. as far as having the "feeling" of being used....well i can see your point, and sometimes it is a big misunderstanding. however i think it is human nature to use others. i also think it is all about how selfless or selfish the...

well, thank you very much! you made me blush. heh heh :)

:D

ooops! thanks. did that.

truly....this same farm is sitting empty right now. kinda sad. it's not really squattable either. i am hoping to have my own farm in the next year. i have been slaving to the man almost long enough to qualify for a loan........*grumble* and happiness at the same time. :0)

aha! i love it! :D

LMAO! that is hilarious! :)

plan to leave shortly after christmas or new years. headed down 95 to the 10 prolly to stay out of the snow. i will definitely keep you in mind. :)

mushrooms are great. if you don't have or want kidney problems. not sure if i got kidney stones from them or if they just made them worse, but they sure didn't help. i also like the blast off power of lsd.....i also think that if your psyche is strong enough you can take as much of it as you...

right back at ya. :) thanks!

true that.....

i take the lsd a lot less now than i used to, mostly because i can tap into the strange lands all on my own now. without it. sometimes i have a blockage that i need help getting through. lsd can help that, but you have to be willing to not take it as a joke. your psyche is wide open to messages...

thanks so much to all of you. i am glad and saddened at the same time that others have similar experiences. it's nice to not feel alone, but you certainly don't want others to feel such pain. much love to you all for reading and for SURVIVING it, to become who you are today. i especially liked...

your interpretation is exactly the opposite of what you are describing. meaning that others use and dispose of HER....not vice versa. :) thanks for reading.

Every once in a while there is a girl born, who does not belong to anyone. Nor does anyone want to belong to her. She is alone, except for the use and disposal of others. She has no fairy godmother, her happy ending is accepting that this is her destiny. She was born to make a band aid for...

In our last episode, Throw Away Girl was faced with a decision. She knows what she should have, but does not have the inner strength and love that she needs to demand it. Throw Away Girl knows from her history that she will never BE equal. Even her friends don't get it anymore. They tell her...

The Universe has it's patterns. Everything circular, elliptical, predictable, yet slightly wobbly. What seems random, is actually what is meant to be. How can we understand our existence within the grand scheme? All is nothing. Nothing is all. Human beings are caught up with their concepts...

When we left Throw Away Girl she was contemplating our human perceptions of what reality and interconnectedness really mean. This line of thought has led her to wonder; when do you yield to the supreme workings of the universe? Throw Away Girl would like to believe that she has some control...

When Starchild was around five or six months old, Throw Away Girl and Soul Starer were invited to live at a commune. It was a large warehouse that had been used by a mexican hefe to house his migrant workers. There were also two school buses, an airstream, a winnebago, a trailer, a geodesic...

When Throw Away Girl was living at Pearl Drive, the clan decided that they were all going to go to the beach in Noyo Harbor to watch the fireworks. They set the fireworks off from the headlands, at the GP mill, which rose above the beach. The plan was for some of them to take some LSD and have...

When Starchild was 3 months old, Throw Away girl and Soul Starer found a cabin, in Elk to sublet for 3 months. The cabin was set high up on the ridge in the pygmy pine forest. It was a small, L shaped, old growth redwood cabin. When you first walked through the split door (one of those that...

After Throw Away Girl left the Goat Man's farm; she and Soul Starer got a tent. They went back out to the state forest, where there were several other people camped out along Big River. They found a spot right next to the river, between two redwood trees. The two trees were about the same...

thanks very much! i think you are right about the siddharta thing. i look at my life as a quest to liberation for sure. i have several more stories that i will be posting, so you can read more for sure. :) my baby is going to be 13 the day after christmas. he also has a little brother (11 in...

As Throw Away Girl walked down the street; her blood began to boil. What a Crazy ass Goat Man! She went directly to the payphones, in front of the post office; where she called her parents to tell them what had happened. They already had some idea that Goat Man was crazy. When her mother...

When we left Throw Away Girl and Crazy Goat Man; they were at an impasse. Throw Away Girl decided at that point to make herself as scarce as possible. She went about her chores and kept to herself as much as possible. During the next month or so; she and Soul Starer got to know each other...

When we left Throw Away Girl and the Crazy Goat Man, they were knee deep in goat shit. By this time Throw Away Girl had been broken in, and had fallen into a routine. Since most of her time on the farm was solitary; she would get up when the turkey gobbled in the morning (which, incidentally...

This is the first of a series of stories I wrote a while back, for therapeutic reasons. They are based on some of my experiences, most names have been changed to protect the innocent and not so innocent. I hope that you all will enjoy them. :) When Throw away Girl decided to go west, she...

witch hazel for the bunghole sting or just plain hemorroids.....and yeah baby powder/gold bond is great, but pure cornstarch is better. cheap, easy to lift, and/or buyable with foodstamps.

thank you very much! :D she is coming along really well. i got most of the small repairs done. sink, windows, light fixtures, paint on the appliances......now on to the meaty task of fixing the floor.

gotta give ya that one. even though i do like the west coast more.

some states do have debtors prison. new hampshire is one of them. but the deferment/forebearance options are best. :)

there's least coast, then there's best coast

they will come after you no matter what.....but they have to find yo ass first!!!!! happy trails sporadic ghost!

straight up.

forgot to say that you can get scraper tools of a lesser quality at any drug store. it would be better than using a needle at least. definitely get the free dental if you can though. :)

http://www.freemedicalcamps.com/ this link got lost in another thread. the cost of healthcare has come up in a few other threads, so i wanted it to have it's own thread. i hope it helps folks take care of themselves better. if you have any other links, or knowledge of how to get free medical/...

http://theherbgardener.blogspot.com/2008/01/using-herbs-for-dental-care.html hydrogen peroxide and baking soda are great teeth cleaners. i prefer just the baking soda myself. it would be a good abrasive for you, but will make your gums bleed. gum disease is bad fuckin news. please take care of...

to be be a pilgrim is only to make a pilgrimage or voyage to a place of honor, to pay tribute. it doesn't matter what thing you are honoring on the pilgrimage. so really the only difference between a "traveler" and a "pilgrim" is that the traveler doesn't practice religious/ honorable intent? i...

straight up, sistah! my doggie is leashed at all times. you don't have to know anyone at the gathering.

ummm i love to travel alone, but an 18 year old female should be very cautious about traveling alone. that is not to say that i didn't do it just fine, BUT it is a huge risk. a huge one. one that could potentially cost life or at least life as she knows it. some things you can never recover...

thanks all! i needed something a bit bigger than a van, and i like the idea of being able to still drive off from my home on occasion. hence no rv or even conversion van. i also have my sons travelling with me. so i have to have the bathroom feature. (child protective services will not own my...

yeah. tough call there. those mohawks DO kick ass though........

wtf? blame yourself. whatever happened to personal responsibility? if you wanna kill someone that is on you. not your fuckin parents. and as far as being a "gang", that mentality is an unfortunate human trait. accept it. we are all a part of some gang or another. it's all about how far, and in...

just picked her up, for 600 bucks. she needs a bit of work to be ready, but soon come! she's in great shape for her age. can't wait to be on the road again, and in much better style now. it's been too long since i had my bus........

that would be an excellent thread to start. :) and the freemedical one is a good one to start it with.

if it's the tooth. please get it checked out! an infection that near your brain for an extended time can fuck you up forever. find a dental school in your area. the students are well supervised and have all the current education to help you out and often times the fees are on a sliding scale, in...

lavender oil rubbed around forehead, eyes, and the bridge of your nose. don't get it in your eyes though. i have sinus infections all the time. the lavender oil and the previously mentionedsaltwater up the nose work the best.

sarah silverman came out during a time when i was "dropped out." guess i better check that shit out. living in the woods doesn't do a damn thing for pop culture knowledge. :D

haha! y'all are too funny! lemonaids...:) nice to meet ya.
