    Chicken Coops

    Couldn't really find an appropriate place to post this so I figure I'll ask here. Does anyone have any experience building a chicken coop or raising chickens for eggs? I'm trying to get 3-6 hens to produce eggs for myself and the neighborhood (I figure giving people free shit is a good way...

    Cheapest form of trailer/camper

    I'm not sure if the van forum is the best place to ask this, but does anyone have a good sense of the spectrum of pricing on trailers you can get? I found a pretty insane deal on a lot of land in New Orleans and I'm about to buy it. A couple thousand bucks to be a few blocks away from St. Roch...

    Question for Matt about General Banter

    Ever think about moving this section to the very top of the list and making it the default forum? I think it would be cool if STP was more of a place for punks and travelers to just bullshit, in addition to asking specific questions or sharing specific information. I go on reddit sometimes...

    Rockaway Beach

    Yeah, like the Ramones song. I'm going up to New York to see Merzbow later this week -- does anyone know if you can sleep on Rockaway Beach? Will we get fucked with by the cops, homebums, or murderous gangs? Would be chill to have a free fucking spot to sleep since I don't know the squats up...

    Punks in Mexico

    Hey Guys, I'm gonna go back to Mexico and visit a massive punk rock flea market, then write an article about it afterwards. I'm kind of curious about what subculture and being a punk is like down there in general, as I get the impression they treat it different than we do. It almost seems...

    You Caught My Eye

    I was skiing at Steamboat Springs a few weeks ago with a couple of my pals from Duke, and we stopped at the main street Starbucks to warm up with a decaf mocha frapuccino -- two pumps of caramel. You had on a North Face fleece and polarized Oakley's sunglasses. We chatted for a few minutes...

    What would you do if you didn't live in a tiny urban environment?

    Maybe you don't. Either way. I've got a backyard, but bed bugs are driving me into my girlfriend's 3rd story apartment and I've suddenly been struck with tons of ideas of stuff I'd do if I wasn't so cramped. I got some shiitake mushroom spores that I'm going to inocculate in logs when I find...

    Resources for DIY Boatmaking

    Hey guys, first foray into the boat punk subforum here. I see a lot of threads about finding work on a boat, but has anyone had any experience building their own raft or boat on the cheap before? I'm looking for a project to work on this winter before it warms up here in Richmond and I'm...

    Diesel Engine Swap

    All right, so this is a van forum on a punk travel website, so obviously there's been 15,000 new threads about Bio-Diesel. But does anyone know how difficult it is to do an engine swap on a NON-diesel car to put a diesel engine in? Obviously it's going to be case by case basis, but how often...

    Cities in Mexico

    Well, I got a one way ticket to Mexico City, and no plans on what to do from there. I figure I'll stay at a cheapass hostel there and make some friends. Might help to have some vague ideas though - anyone hitched or hopped around before? Can you recommend cities that are chill, cheap, and...

    Engine Swap

    Anyone ever done this before? My GMC motor seized, and I've got a friend who's down to do the swap for me if I can find a new one. Anyone got any experience or knowledge about what to look for? I'm pretty stoked about doing it, actually.

    A Closer Look at America's Conversion Vans

    I've lived in a 1982 Chevy G20 and a 1995 GMC Vandura. The chevy was older and more prone to cooling troubles, but its spacious interior and inviting atmosphere made it stick more fondly in my memory. Personally, I'd never consider an econoline, and the ramvan is a bad joke as far as I'm...
