I've Just had my mind blown a little bit by this guy. I think I need to try and summon up my ability to find happiness again in reading a book, the rain and Springtime.

Sorry, I don't have any leads in France off the top of my head, I've never actually been to Paris. I'll ask about though and If I hear of anything I will post it here. Good luck!

I have a waterproof hi-Vis coat I wear for farm work, it's bright orange at the top and dark blue at the bottom and looks like the coats postal workers wear over here. It's great, nobody pays the blindest bit of notice to you if you're wearing hi-vis. You can shop lift, ask people questions...

@nahaae I feel that your responses here are definitely bordering on rule breaking with regards to hate speech towards other people's religious beliefs. That isn't acceptable on this forum. I have posted the link to our rules below for you to see. https://squattheplanet.com/help/hate-speech/ If...

Hahaha some of this is pretty accurate to be honest. :p

There is an @Odin on here, no idea if they are one and the same so I've tagged them in this post just in case.

Not sure all the photos copied below, so click the link if you can to see the rest. This place looks epic. I hope they look after it. http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater-manchester-news/inside-hulme-hippodrome-how-squatters-13562709 Inside Hulme Hippodrome: How squatters have...

Ah it was good to meet you too @roguetrader!! So nice to see some photos from the weekend. I'll have to see if I have any to add. It was a great start to the summer. I hope you've enjoyed the rest of yours. I'm sure I'll be there next year. :)

Ha your dog is called D'Artagnan and your friends have the three musketeers! This totally reminded me of a cartoon I used to watch as a kid called "Dogtanian and the three muskehounds". Heres the terrible theme tune from the 1980's. Sorry it's really awful but I couldn't resist.

Welcome! If you want to see who's about in your area that wants to hang out then I'd highly recommend making a post in the road dogs and meet ups section :) https://squattheplanet.com/road-dogs/

STP are holding the Dirty Scouts Jamboree in Slab City in October. Heres some details for you if you're headed that way. https://squattheplanet.com/threads/official-jamboree-information-for-2017.31057/

Yeah you can make "ink" by combining charcoal and alcohol into a paste, I've seen a friend do this and it did work. I've also seen someone use biro pen ink but who knows what chemicals are in that. Honestly tattoo ink is pretty cheap and you're a lot less likely to reject it or get an...

Welcome! We've got a section where you can make a post and see who's about to hang out with and travel with. Hopefully you'll find some cool new friends there. https://squattheplanet.com/road-dogs/

We have one type of venomous snake and that's called an Adder. I've never seen one and they are pretty shy and easily scared off. Their bite is more dangerous to dogs than humans to be honest. We have spiders that can give you a nasty bite but nothing deadly. There's sometimes jelly fish in the...

This makes me so relieved that I live in the UK and round here the scariest wildlife I'm going to encounter are the local people or maybe an angry badger. Honestly the thought of trying to sleep knowing bears are even a possibility makes me want to cry for my mum. I encountered a snake here...

Going to move this over to sex and relationships section. I feel you on this one. It is really hard. I am going through something very similar with a friend who I consider or maybe considered is more apt to be my best friend of 20 years. I was his "best man" (yes I know I'm a woman!) At his...

Welcome to the site, if you're thinking of heading to slab city then the STP Dirty Scouts Jamboree in October would be a good time to go. Heres a link to more info: https://squattheplanet.com/threads/official-jamboree-information-for-2017.31057/

I know this might not be the popular answer, but coming from someone who feels like an old age pensioner round here I just want to say that you should milk the comfort of your family home for as long as you can. I obviously don't know your situation and if its shit where you're at then I'm...

You could make a post in the road dogs and meetups section to see who's about in your area and is up for hanging. Hope you find some good people. https://squattheplanet.com/road-dogs/

Moved to USA destinations section :)

I'm going to move this over to furry nomads. I know it's about gear but it's specifically dog related so hopefully it'll get spotted in that section. I have to say i am also in awe of your dogs that carry their own gear. There is literally no chance my dog would put up with it. She has a shit...

Oh also there is a thing called Poste Restante where you can get post sent to a post office whilst in the UK. They don't all accept it so you have to check and they only hold onto it for a set amount of time, but that might work for you. Heres the link to it...

Just realised I might actually have some thoughts on this. Forgot you were in the UK! :rolleyes: Have you spoken to your doctor's about the fact you want to travel as they might be able to arrange stuff for you? I don't take any ongoing medication but I have been to lots of different doctors...

Hey no worries on that, I'm going to move it to the staying healthy section as it's about prescriptions, I think that's a better fit. If anyone has a better idea though I'm open to suggestions. Hopefully someone will have some useful info for you :)

Ah just seen you've got poncho on your list, that's the coat sorted then :p

Unless I've missed it I can't see any kind of shelter on your list. Like a tarp or tent. Everything else seems sound. I also like to pack a waterproof coat but then I live in England where it rains forever.

What was the shit being used for? Human compost?

Castrating lambs and butchering/dealing with dead sheep is probably the most miserable I've ever been whilst working. You cannot get the stench of dead sheep off you however many times you wash your hands. I would insert a photo here of me with a severed sheep head but it might make some people...

Tampons also make good improvised wound dressings if you pull them apart a bit. You can also stick them in stab, gunshot or other puncture wounds to soak up blood. They're also good stuffed in your mouth if you've got a bleeding gum or are bleeding from losing a tooth.

I have a safe that's bolted into the body work of my van. It's really well hidden and if I'm out for the day away from my van I can put anything valuable in there. So yeah not having anything nice on show (not that I've got anything worth stealing) I even remove the phone holder I use to put my...

Moved to travel stories section.

Moved to art and music section.

Well done for trying though and even more well done for admitting you weren't ready. I've had a few friends crash head first into living the horsedrawn life only to realise a few months down the line that they don't have the skills or money to care for a big horse. I find my dog is enough...

If you haven't already you could make a post in the road dogs and meet ups section to see if there's anyone in your local area to travel with. https://squattheplanet.com/road-dogs/

As a moderator I'm sorry if we've missed a thread that should have been looked into. I'm not sure which thread it is specifically you're referring to so if you'd like me to have a look I gladly will, just link me the thread. I think it's really sad when people make the lives of fellow STP'ers...

I think you win, hands down the most hardcore!
