So my old USGI MSS woodland bivy is kicking the bucket and I'm starting to do some research for a new one. Someone introduced me to the USMC Improved bivy and my first impression was WHY THE FUCK HAVE I NOT SEEN THIS BEFORE!? I hate mosquitos, even moreso, I hate laying in the wrong fucking...

For three bucks, I scored a military wool sleeping bag liner thing that looks like this: and I'm thinking about felting (washing and drying it hot to get those fibers nice and tight) and using it as a sleeping pad. I've never slept with one of those inflatable/foam pads before, mostly just...

So I picked up this skinny scrawny black dog on the side of the road in the middle of no-fucking-where Missouri. She was infested with bugs (ticks, fleas, worms, all that jazz) and I was pretty sure she had parvo. But 4 months later, she's sleeping on my feet in New York. I've been slowly...

i originally made this for myself a year ago while researching tips specifically for females and thought this might help others too (not meant to be gender-exclusive, for it's really applicable to all). this is just a list of ways you can keep yourself safe while travelling. #1 trust yr...

Just stumbled across this and thought I should share this brilliance with ya'all -- i will definitely be trying to do something similar to this -- maybe the alice on one side and sleep sack on the other... Source: http://sipseystreetirregulars.blogspot.com/2012/11/praxis-military-bike-bags.html

hey ya'all ! i've currently got a jeep liberty that gets less than 20mpg and i'm looking for something smaller with better mpg (30+) that's reliable, low-maintance, cheap and popular for cheap parts. would like for it to be small enough for a 6 foot girl to curl up in the back with a medium...

so i'm driving around the country with the jeep for a little bit then i plan to sell it (really don't want to deal with insurance / registration / gas / possibility of getting in an expensive accident / etc). i'm looking at hitch-biking and it sounds kinda awesome. i can ride out of a bad spot...

i'm not going there anytime soon but i'm digging around for some good spots to hang out at. there's a deaf college there that I can score some floor space at (probably food too). i'm kind of determined to hang around at dc a lot as a home base kinda thing since it's familiar and has a huge deaf...

I already know what yr going to say. Bad fucking idea. Background: She's 8 years old and a total house dog. She currently has a bad foot (swollen and vet can't figure it out) and limps because of it. She does have some dog aggression issues but has been doing A LOT better since I've started...

Basically I'm looking to see whY ya'all travel and live yr lives like this? I am not asking in a condescending way but rather curious to if everyone has a core reason for travelling or if it just varies for everyone. Also it could good for inspiration for others.... to hear stories of such...

Well I just poured through the whole backpack section here all morning and still cannot figure out which pack would be best for me. The ALICE packs tend to pop up a lot. My buddy has a medium and I tried it out, it is really fucking bulky (not sure if it's because he has a ton of shit strapped...

I'm looking at the pros and cons of each and would like for you guys to throw me yr input. So far I know that synthetic is cheaper and dries out quicker while down is much lighter and warmer but takes ages to dry out. So what do you guys prefer? Down or synthetic sleeping bags?

I was at the rainbow gathering in tn earlier this year and hitch hiked my way back home. It was fun + now I am stuck here. I wanted to get back to travelling but the boy i'm with doesn't want to be on the road during the winter. we are both jobless and living off my father, something that...

i'm talking 'getting a volkswagen that runs on water and driving around the country a bunch of times and doing whatever the fuck happens' kind of traveling. i'd have the bird in a harness and on a leash at all times. she'd sleep tucked in my neck. when it's too cold, she'd be folded in my...

so i was on the road for just over a month. dude, time flies out there yet at the same time, it feels like a lifetime. a different kind of a lifetime. got from ny to tennessee - chilled at the rainbow for roughly 3-4 weeks (some guy fell in love with me there and ended up following me home) -...

I'm genuinely curious as to why everyone is traveling, nomad-ing, vagabonding, hitching, hopping and whatnot. Everyone seems to have their own reason whether it be personal issues, the government or whatever. Tell me why yr doing this. I'm curious.

I'm set on getting on the road with a truck and living out of it. I'm planning on pan handling for money and gas and dumpster diving for food. I will go where I please, pick up hitch hikers along the way and just be own my own with my pup. Headed south for now. Once the truck breaks down, I'll...

so I'm deaf (can still hear a bit with the aid of a chochlear implant) and i'm seriously considering getting a pup to train to keep her ears out for me. good idea? what exactly should i train her to do? i'd like for her to get my attention when someone is approaching us without making any noise...

I'm really trying, I really am. I'm doing my last year of high school online and I just can't bear to do anymore. I'm throughly spent from eleven years of nodding to obedience in the educational system of our society. it's so draining and it stresses me terribly. it makes me feel like I'm not...

since I was waist-high, i've always had this urge to just leave - to travel. i'm actually taking action now - leaving probably in the spring when it gets warmer. i've got a lot of strange and useless skills and facts stuffed in my head. i need to learn how to survive out there first (train-hop...
