no ones EVER been able to explain the benefits of bitcoin in a way that makes it seem even remotely worth it. not to mention with it not being backed by anything but, peoples opinions of it, its got a HELL of a price that you have to pay with real US dollars. why in the hell would I waste my...

juice and UPS are freight trains that run from philly to florida. I hope you weren't the one that marked it as stupid because that's a MUCH better way to travel. hitching fucking sucks and its mainly walking and waiting for that one good soul to stop and pick you up. it CAN be an interesting...

I can cook ramen in the beer can I just emptied into my mouth with a beer can that my road dog just finished

well... right now i copped a walmart molle digi camo pack and only have about 32 pounds of shit including a 5 pound bag of dog food. i STILL can fit a screw top gallon jug inside it with my sleeping bag strapped to the bottom. its honestly the best pack ive ever had. im still not entirely sold...

and.... i lied. just had my cold steel fixed blade stripped off me by a cop in nashville tn. apparently they're super serious about that shit there. if its over three inches they take it and cite you. either way, really dumb to try and hide a fixed blade. always better to keep it on the hip...

I never had any issues. I have my shirt tucked under my knife so I can actually get to it. No point in carrying a blade on your hip if you can't whip it out easily imo.

My advice? Read this forum before posting. I learned more through creeping on the forums and then googling shit I had questions about than just plain asking. Few quick tips. .freights are not Amtrak. Schedules are not concrete and can vary by eight to twenty four (or more) hours. .don't be...

hahaha... thats insane! to be honest i would probably let her just move in. hell, she made the effort to go all that way and i would have been sharing food with her for the better part of a year anyway.

^thats what im saying. i wouldnt want to spend a winter outdoors of a constant 32F, let alone -whatever. surely you know someone who can help you out with renters rights. you could always come out with the "i have literally no where to go and obviously no money" thing. some parties might just...

the more i read about squatting experiences, the less i care about finding a squat.

apparently you already know what to do, so why ask? nothing freezes when it stays dry...? the thing about coats is they are waterproof/resistant. the outer shell protects you from the elements in ways that layers just wont. being wet in winter is a death sentence, seriously. not to mention loft...

if you're really that broke, you better go steal a good sleeping bag and winter clothes and dip the fuck out as soon as possible. that or do some research while you still can on google and figure out a bunch of ways to stay warm during the winter. im still confused why you dont have winter...

the dude who just said he saved your life... just saved your life.

id be careful of surplus blankets. unless you can find one thats 100% wool. if you get a canvas pack make sure its waxed or to wax it yourself. the pack i posted is like 60 bucks, no idea what that is in pounds. its pretty sweet, i can live out of it quite comfortably with a bedroll strapped...

condor makes a SWEET backpack that i use. http://www.condoroutdoor.com/147_urban_go_pack.aspx id invest in a rugged wool blanket but, i love me some wool. i guess if you're not traveling all that much you wont need incredibly durable items but, damn wool blankets are so useful.

i wouldnt but, im not you. as mentioned above, thats a legal mess that i want nothing to do with.

if cost is an issue, dont follow my advice. get a condor waist belt, the two i have both come with molle webbing. just go online or to an army navy and stock up on all kinds of different pouches.

as far as best performance vs. cost goes, dickies pants and walls jacket from walmart. things i spend money on, boots, my wool blanket, back packs and weed. i just dont want these items to fail. clothes rip, fail and get abused far more frequently than what they are usually meant for. i know...

fuck that noise. i want at least three pairs of socks, three pairs of underwear and another pair of pants. preferably a dry set of thermals too. clothes get wet and wet clothes SUCK when you cant get dry/warm. being wet/cold on the road is basically a death sentence if you dont keep it in...

holy crap, that sounds fucking rad! if you're still looking for help/company i could try and make my way out there in the coming months.

dry bags are the absolute shit. i dumpstered a broken sea2summit dry/compression sack and even without the compression straps this thing is awesome. roll it up and squeeze all the air out or pop my clothes in it and they stay bone dry.

from what ive noticed, squats tend to change pretty rapidly. its a word of mouth and right place, right time kind of thing. focus less on having a place to stay and more on creating a place to stay. i mean, crack your own squat, make your own rules.

id really like to do it with two wool blankets and a bivy. as heavy as they are i much prefer the rugged, adaptability of a blanket over a sleeping bag any day. the warmth thing sucks though, great for three seasons but, winter is a bitch.

good tips man, im pretty unfamiliar with the desert. you think a 15 degree bag, gi bivy and a wool blanket would do the trick? haha might even be over kill, i just like having the three options.

nah i know the desert is cold at night. its just not so bad having a cold night when you can look forward to a warm day. i was actually headed to ft. lauderdale myself. i was just wondering what most of yall do in the colder seasons. with the way the weather patterns have been georgia aint much...

how many of you guys on here travel full time? where do you guys spend the colder season? the south east is pretty damn cold, unless you head to south florida. im planning on headed south and i was wondering if anyone had any input. i guess the desert might be a warmer place to be but, riding...

shit man my fault, i read that wrong. thats really blows having to leave her behind but, its probably for the best.

busted foot? and you want to take your pup on the road? that doesnt show a lot of care to me.

LMAO

i completely disagree. im buddhist by nature so i tend to try and defuse aggressive situations or at the very least shy away from conflict. im not afraid to speak my mind but, regardless of the words of others i hold them to the higher standard of actions speaking louder than words. if a...

you gotta be fucking retarded if you're not going to use condoms. random traveling kids who havnt showered in a week plus and have fucked countless other traveling kids with HIV, herpes, syphillis... so on and so forth.

i usually just ride it until i crash. sometimes you just need to take a day or two to sit down and sleep, eat and collect your mental faculties.

im down in philly, you planning on hitching or hopping?

cliff bars, trail mix, peanut butter, beans and fresh produce are basically my diet when it comes to living on the road. if you're walking miles every day and constantly on the move its best to eat a little bit all day. if you're like me and waiting in the bushes to catch out for hours, you...

cool man, im down to bounce for south florida on the second.

thats what im sayin dog, shits cold in philly

how long you gunna be around? i may head down after the first.

when you wanna leave dude? you wanna wait till after new years?

gotta say, in combination with your avatar, your demeanor is fucking hilarious.... just sayin haha.

a bivy and tarp is like pb and j. throwing a hammock in there for the times when you want off the ground is great. i just like having options haha.

in mexico, id stay away from that shit. boil the piss out of it or dont drink from their rivers and lakes. could be good ol' american deceit but, dysentery and giardia kill brah.

i plan on riding the juice to fl come spring. if you want to wait out the winter im down to travel with you. im pretty new to things but, there's always people to meet on the way that know whats up. philly is a pretty popular spot for people to ride through, you can meet somewhere there.

read my post more closely, its fairly clear it was referring to other towns in your area. there's no need for angrycaps, especially when you didnt quite read what someone typed. maybe you should do some research? a short ride to atlanta and you can find just about anything you need. either...

buckle all the way, or paracord. i love my paracord :)

go steal an SOL thermal bivvy. good ground sheet and adds quite a bit of warmth for those cold nights. its also small as hell when rolled up and thrown in its stuff sack. macon georgia right? isnt there some freight lines that run through there? i would just hit the rails and steal from other...

i made my way across the state via two different trains. i should have been spotted while i woke up in my bivy and looked over some bushes at the road. right as i did this a cop drove by and had a clear shot of my shoulders and head as i looked at the road. other than that i got stopped...

i would like to be placed somewhere in the wilderness and let the animals and nature reclaim my energy

my advice? buy a tarp and a cheap bag from walmart, spend some change at an rei/mes or raid their dumpsters or at least go online. there isnt a whole lot you can do if you cant do any of them. if you have a salvation army or other thrift stores in the area thats probably your best bet.

hahaha, 8-12 hours EVERY DAY? thats not realistic at all man, gotta factor in terrible sleep, rain and severe weather, running into crazy people, cops, terrain being inhospitable for walking (let alone temperature and wild life). i thought about doing the same thing, then i discovered freight...

the only system that can every actually work is one of mutual appreciation for your fellow man. humans are hardwired to feel each others pain and joy. a natural reaction to seeing someone get seriously hurt is a very common "OHHHHHH" where the face scrunches up and you almost look a way but...
