Kerouac is Awsom!! I got his documentary on rubber tramping couple yrs ago. I still watch it ever couple months. Am slowly collecting his writings.

That's the one!! Ped, U are AWESOME!!!!

It would help if I knew what the thing is called. Then I could Google it.

I am trying to find a link to a hamock shelter. I thought I saw it on hear but now I can't find the link. So it might have been on another sight. But anyway. It's kinda hard to explain. It was a hammock like contraption. Looked sorta like a 3 armed starfish.(mabe only 2 arms. Can't remember.) Or...

My math adds up perfect. A normal trip to the laundry cost me $6.50. $2.25 a washer. Then $2.00 for a dryer. $6.50 For the card, I put $9.00 this worked the washes, but wasn't enough for the dryer to fully dry. So I added $2.00 more. Still didn't have dry clothes. Already admitted I SHOULD have...

Hmm... 1st one SHOULD be One thousand, Two hundred Thirty Five dollars. 2nd. No, I did not. She read it off to me, then I signed. Ok. Got me on that one. Guess I am just old enough to remember when "Customer Service" meant "Making the customer happy so they would come back & do business with...

Hear are 3 examples of how I have been LEGALLY ripped off this month. 1st. I checked my bank balance. Says I have $1235. So I check my bank history. Every thing I've used my card for is posted. Because I DON'T want to over draft, I double check Every thing. Yep, according to the info I have...

Since I read this the other day, I actually HAVE been noticing plugs on the odd light poll hear & there.

Being rather successfully at it, too. Last I heard. But.... I kinda wunder. Why is it that when someone tosses this idea out there, they ALMOST always say " in Mexico"?? You know, folks, not every one in America is living the good life. I know America is the land of fat, spoilt brats. But...

I don't know, mabe "rules" is the wrong word. I was looking up info on slab city via the post on this site... Some time last summer or last fall. Came across a thread... Or post, by some guy who gave the "impression" that he was Mr. Big Dick at one of the commune type areas there. He posted this...

I've wanted to go to slab city ever since I first heard of it. But since reading some post on here by folks who live there,(year round I guess) I havnt been so interested in going. To many rules. I thought slab city was a place to be yourself. But then I read these post... It sounded more like...

U da Man when you're having so much fun with the brand new washing machine, you won't let you're wife use it.

This is not indepth, helpful advice. Just something I thought of while reading this thread. Back in the 50's & 60's, the mafia owned most all the Gay clubs. This was OK cuz they paid off the cops to keep harassment to a min. On night the cops decided to raid this club called Stonewall. Started...

The average american citizen will never rise up against the u.s. government. Americans are WAY to fat & lazy for that. As long as the government lets the people sleep in the house, eat scraps from the table & tosses the people a couple bones now & then, the people will continue to be good little...

"Go up... then make a left". That cracked me up!!! Really, though. I was going to suggest swimming. But I guess hiching it is about the best way. To improve U'r chance for a ride... Dress For Suck'sess. Sorta tight shorts, no shirt. Or a unbuttoned shirt. Trust me, in my younger, fit'er days...

The meaning of life...... Is to live it.

It's been a long, slow prosses.

I don't know about "getting in". But I would think a big city would have water spiggets all over. Find one in a discrete place that has water to it. Hook a hose to it & there U go. This & a bucket Will also get Ur clothes washed. If the spiggets is a bit to obvious, Maby use said bucket to tote...

There is a thread on here someplace about this guy. It was an interesting descusion with a link to an article with pic's.

Rattlesnake derby in Mangun Oklahoma. But really, Dude. I've driven from one side of this country to the other, top to bottom. For festivals, follow the highway & read the billboards. There is ALWAYS a festival going on somewhere. For cool stuff, stick to the backroads. It amazes me what folks...

Eager, nice looken rig. Loven the garden boxs! I could be wrong, but it seems a bit unusual to find such a youngster traveling/living in a camper. I think it's kinda awsome.

I love my van. I get made fun of alot, but in 3 yrs, I've only been harassed by the popo once. I spend alot of time thinking up ways to live rent/mortgage free. Have come up with really good ideas, too. But with all that, I'm going on 4 yrs in the van. Now, if I could only come up with a way to...

I'm gla U said "high top". I can't preach enough on the joys of head space! I've thought alot about getting something smaller. Less conspicuous & cheaper on the gas. But can't quite bring myself to give up all the room in my van. I'm a big fella & I never feel cramped in it. For long term...

With all the news coverage & political pandering, I think the middle class has become the new upper class. I say more power to ya! I personally would be conciderd lower class. Both socially & economically. So I really didnt have much to "miss" when I moved n2 my van. It's not so bad once U take...

The feeling is STONG in me, today. To escape the tyrony of the cracking whips. Sunlight calls me. The wind sings for me to walk the quiet path. To listen & learn it's secrets. Today I have a breath stealing desire to feel grass in my hands. To smell water flowing. I want my shelter made of wood...

The Lady rewards me plenty, and doesnt ask near as much in return. But hey, to each his own. Now, back to toppkc... Try blowtorching the sand castle, I like to know how that turns out. Sounds groovy.

Haha, umm..... No.

????? Sounds a little if'ie to me. But hey, good luck with that.

Travelin, can you please text me. I REALLY want to talk to you about you`r farm !!! Dolittle, 903-951-6446.

For me it's in the blood, I think. I come from a long line of Rovers... On my Da's side. I've often wonder why I can't stay in one place. I first remember the feeling hitting me in my mid teens. To eas it up, I'd walk the 17 mile circle around the community I grew up in. When I started...

Even "digging n2 an exsisting hillside", I would think u would want something to keep the top from caving in... like, mabe Supports?? But mabe, not. What do I know. I've only "built" like, Four dougouts. I guess that doesn't count, though. Since a dougout isn't a cave. Good luck with ur hole, dude.

Also might I suggest, as with any relestate, location location LOCATION. U want HIGH enough up the hill that U don't flood. U want a good, clean, year round stream or creek close to U for water. Plus U want a place with a lot of windfall for cooking & heating. Of cores, U can cut U'r own wood...

For that size U can use tree trunks for supports. Just strip the bark & limbs off then hack a V shape in the top ends to fit U'r cross pieces n2. As for tires, check all the local truck stops, gullys & creeks. People are 4ever throwing them away. But try to be creative with U'r supports. Mabe...

Barbuchon, that is a wicked cool set up. Is the shed in someones back yard, or on the land of someone you know?? I really want to set me up a small cabin, buy can't aford land & don't know anyone who owns any.

Back in the day, I was a sandy blond. Mostly got the salt & pepper thing going on now. I like different things about different people. But tall, square jaws & dark hair trips my trigger, extra points for face hair in abundance. Funny thing... with tall beefy guys, I want to be their bitch. But...

I've tryed to watch this a few times, never got it to play. But, on this topic... I have LOTS of info/ideas on building small shelters, cabins, huts & such. MY problem is Land. I've tryed to buy land several times, but ended up loosing it. Don't know anyone with enough land that I could borrow...

Turtle, what turtle??

"Guilty or robbed". I understand that feeling. Only I call it "No commitments". Hooking up is a fun activity, but after the incounter, one does feel a bit empty in the heart area. Guess that's where the "robbed" feeling comes from. As for not being a drinker or user, I hear u on that, too. I...

True, U DO have to be careful. Even in "long term" relationships. No glove=No love. But on that note, U will be EXTREMELY lucky to find a lover who will STAY true to U. NOT SAYING IT DOESN'T HAPPEN. Just saying don't fool U'r self n2 letting someone elts fool U. I'm 47 yrs old. Not only have I...

Pretty much ANY Gay dating site sucks big donkeys. They are either full of folks to deep in the party or, as you said, folks who join then forget about it. I've met most of the guys I've dated through friends. Lady friends at that! Seems like the girls (Gay & Str8 ) knows all the Gay boys...

All good leads. Thanks Gguys!!

I recently moved to Tulsa, am starting a new job. However... I was planning to live off my tax refund till the paychecks started. The problem is, I haven't had a verafiable address, other than a PK Box, in 3 yrs. No physical address =no new PK Box. No bank account. No Fast Loans, ect ect...

It's good you had the know how. Sounds like a Hot set up. Sory you rolled it. Like I said, it's a cool deal if you got the time, money & SKILLS. In my case, though, I woulda had to hire all that out. Mine was a rush job. At the time, I had 2 choices. Live in the van, or live on the street. Not...

Ok, here is my suggestion. BEFORE you buy Any van, talk to people who KNOW about converting a van to RV. I had the same plan you got, give my van all the modern conveneance of home... till I found out I could buy a small (van type) used RV for about the same money. So I decided to go primative...

I had several thoughts on what freedom is. But they all sounded like cliches. So instead, I will answer this part... What motivates me? Food. I like to eat. No one elts will feed me. I get up every morning & go work so I can feed my self. That is simplafing it, but its all the same...

Yes, clutches rule! On days when you've run the battery to low, all you need to jump start the heffer is a clutch & a bit of hill or incline! Get the ol girl rolling & pop the clutch. Jerk jerk & your off & running.

I really, DESPERATELY wish I could retire & travel the USA in my van. But alas, I have no talent for earning the coin. Other than the type talents that require a physical address & to much time spent away from you're home. Plus the rising price of gas has me worry'd.

P.S. Carberater over injecters any day. If you ever run out of gas, injecters are a bitch.

I have a 91 extended top van. The extended top adds 2&1/2 to 3 ft. (I haven't mesured.) The only side windows are 1 each in the 2 side doors. The inside has quater inch pliwood top to bottom on both sides, also on back door & forming a 1/2 wall between drive seat & cargo area. All 4 sides + the...

I've given this idea some thought from time to time. Not practical for me. But I DO love the idea that you can whip off the hiway & set up camp for the night in the woods or behind some bushes, could even eas your way along a river bank to a privet spot. Also love the gas milage.
