    Squatting Ghost Towns Out West

    Hell yeah, well I'll be in PDX in a week to recruit some comrades to go on an exploratory adventure around OR if you're around. Trying to put a small rewilding/rural squatter crew together.

    Squatting Ghost Towns Out West

    Yeah it really is a matter of logistics. Although as I said, there are plenty of ghost towns in OR that are unvisited, near water due to the fact that they were mining towns, and not too decrepit. If it worked out and turned out I'd need a vehicle I much rather go in for a horse than a car tbh.

    Just curious

    Oregon, Idaho, Montana have plenty of squattable, uninhabited lands. I squatted federal land in the mountains of southwest Oregon for 3 years without a single unwanted visitor the whole time.

    Just curious

    Yeah I concur, even urban travel is getting to be a drag. I'm looking towards hitting the trails and backwoods and abadoned places like a new frontier movement anticipating the collapse of the post-industrial hegemony. Thinking it'd be smart to have a partner or even a small crew for this...

    Squatting Ghost Towns Out West

    Hey comrades, I've avidly developed a huge interest (both historical and personal) in ghost towns of the 19th to early 20th century and am musing on the idea of squatting one, or at least exploring more of them out west than the handful of tourist attractions I've seen and the one so abandoned...

    Queer Identity, Dating Apps, Etc....

    Question though... Do ya'll send pics (such as on Grindr) when requested or wait until you know someone personally, and how has this affected your ability to use such apps?

    Queer Identity, Dating Apps, Etc....

    I have to agree here to a certain extent, Grindr and other apps are tools than can be used for both positive and negative outcomes though definitely born from capitalist hetero-patriarchy and its insistence on traditional nuclear-stye relationships. My biggest problem personally has been meeting...

    Experiences wearing punk vests traveling

    Almost got shot on the border of Washington and Idaho ( Lewiston I believe) wearing my vest with an upside down flag back patch. Biker threatening us and flashing his piece and I just shrugged like "come at me". He left and ever since that I've only had positive responses. Don't wear it anymore...

    Statistically, how dangerous is our lifestyle? What are some precautions we can all take?

    But, as always, having a reliable road dawg is the best solution to unsafe and dangerous situations. In my experience at least.

    Statistically, how dangerous is our lifestyle? What are some precautions we can all take?

    Thanks, solidarity is important in this realm, specifically solidarity with all women (whether one is a queer man or not, they experience the brunt of this phenomenon which includes transwomen for sure). Here's what I was referring to... Statistical Safety of Hitchhiking

    Statistically, how dangerous is our lifestyle? What are some precautions we can all take?

    I carry a concealable tactical knife and a Mace canister usually, haven't had to use either yet but I'm a man also. Tbh I have been sexually assaulted twice, as a queer person, once while homebumming San Fran on a bunch of drugs (I'm now in recovery) and once by a formerly-good friend. I've...

    Anyone know Edir/Aether in the Bay Area?

    I'm looking for this dude from the Bay Area. He goes by Aether sometimes, his name is Edir. He had dreads last time I saw him, wears a carved-bone/tribal spiral nose ring. Pretty tall, half black (Berber to be exact), and is a Muslim who's also into Mayan shamanism if that rings any bells. He is...

    Feral Forager (great zine)

    So I have heard a lot from rewilder folks about how much they love this zine! There's an old thread about it on here too. It is super awesome not only for newbie rewilders but also for more the experienced. Lots of great knowledge and skills and some fun theory to get into. I figured I should...

    first time squatting in the woods... sink or swim in Ashland, OR

    As for the police, most of them don't care about camping, smoking, or drinking in the woods/other stealthy locations. Watch out for the cadets, park narcs, and all the overweight cops (diet problems=emotional problems?). I've found that there are many good stealth camps fit for setting up a tent...

    Tribal anarchists living in the woods of sw Cascadia

    As of lately though the other "founders" have gone hitching around the west coast to network with other anarchist and eco-pagan groups! But I'm unofficial "caretaker" so I'll be up there most of the year...

    Tribal anarchists living in the woods of sw Cascadia

    September-October would be awesome! yes the group is going strong! We've begun planting a variety of scattered forest gardens, begun studies in terracing and microclimates, setting up a wildcrafts, economic botany, and wild mushroom barter-sale network in the closest town. We have one central...

    Anarcho Primitivist Wilderness Commune

    Yea, I'm doing this in southwestern Cascadia (Oregon/Cali border) in the wilderness, the thing about "fighting the governemnt" is, as something of a philosophical anarchist myself, I'm not going to go out and attack cops wih weapons but as a landless peasant, if they invaded the wilderness and...

    ~Just a Disclaimer: What we are doing is experimental and flexible, it is not always fun, rarely easy, but it is fulfilling, raw, authentic, and enlightening. We are in danger constantly, the wrong fall or a run in with a repressive authority of Babylon, but through this we live in joy as well...

    Tribal anarchists living in the woods of sw Cascadia

    It is rotating, we are all nomadic or at least semi-nomadic folks so whoever isn't traveling is spending time in the sacred land or in Ashland/Rogue Valley. Visitation from comrades happens often (or almost never in the winter-months). I am up thee quite a bit alone as well but I enjoy solitude...

    Digging a House... Literally

    I'm building a large semi-subterranean "burrow" but as opposed to digging out the side of a hill I leveled the side, built the structure using debris/ logs/ tarps/ recycled material and am now working on burying the structure, returning the hill to it's original form 'cept now it'll have a house...

    Tribal anarchists living in the woods of sw Cascadia

    So far we are still forming, I have spent significant time on the land exploring, learning and constructing a semi-subterranean earth shelter. My major roadblock is the acquisition of resources without currency- a roadblock we can creatively overcome. Best thing we did is just let the tribe form...
