    Motorized biking

    So my friend and I are debating hitting the road with motorized bikes (mountain ones). Does anyone have a lot of experience with this? I imagine we'd be recommended to get tubeless tires as soon as possible and think about getting a trailer (I use a roughly 60 pound pack), but more information...

    Good bye my first squat.

    My first squat was a doctor's office in Nampa, ID on 12th avenue, a major road. I say "was" because today it is being torn down. I found out today. I was sleeping when I heard the sound and sight of kickingt a side door. I peeked and saw two construction men who jumped back in surprise. They...

    Lilith, my friend, we miss you.

    Hi everyone, we need your help. A few months ago, some of you may remember, I asked for help finding a friend. She was okay after all with her family in Idaho, I just didn't know where she was. Well now she is missing. I can't go into details but her family and I think she plans on being back...

    Pookie

    Last year there was a cool as fuck woman I met named Pookie. She had a dog (can't remember name or type) and a friend named Steven (who she ended up ditching when we were in San Francisco because she was tired of his shit) who also had a dog. Pookie and I met in Mount Shasta but parted ways...

    Little sister Lilith

    Hey everyone. During my many travel I've met many people, but none have touched my heart as much as one I met in Eugene, Oregon. I met her after rejoining the SLEEPS group there at the end of a trip to Seattle. We clicked right away and in a few days she asked me to be her brother. I thought...

    Saw this at the Starbucks at Little Five Points.

    I figured I should pass this bit of info along. A group named Mad Housers go to where you are camped and if they determine they can build a small shelter there they'll put you on a client list. They claim they are warm, private, secure, and free. They also say after building the house they...

    Back on the road.

    Hey everyone it's been a while. I wish I could post a cool story saying why but in reality my iPod crapped out on me and I was housed up at a friend's place. Now I'm ready to hit the road again, this time from Atlanta. I don't have an exact place in mind but I want to see Vermont and Minnesota...

    Awesome woman at Starbucks.

    This woman here in Warner Robins' Starbucks sat in a nearby chair. After not saying anything to each other the whole time, she starts a conversation with me. By the time it was over the woman, named Vanessa, was offering me a hotel in which to stay until Sunday morning. I have Internet, tv...

    Want to squat in a small town in middle GA?

    A few months back I posted about squatting a strip mall. Sadly I never got my brother's phone so I could take pictures. Overall it'd be best for those with their own gear in case one couldn't go in. Now however I know of a place to squat in a town west of my hometown. Overall the place has...

    FUCK YOU MIDWAY!

    Seriously fuck that town. I recently (a day or two ago) got back home in middle Georgia from downtown Jacksonville via walking all but maybe 200 mikes of the trip. FYI walking out of Jacksonville from downtown is a task, especially with a hold-all bag and backpack. Anyway… I got a ride from a...

    Anyone in Jacksonville?

    Yeah. That question or if anyone knows someone here with whom I can hang/squat/ whatever with. Side note if it helps any: I just raided a ton of food from a Winn-Dixie dumpster. It looks like Santa waged a nuclear war on poverty. Being a vegan I got a lot of the fruits and veggies. I'm not sure...

    Jacksonville.

    I'm hitting the city this weekend and hoping I land a job with a friend's friend. I'm also up for hanging out and having a good time. I don't drink and I'm a vegan but have no issue with those who eat meat or drink as long as the latter isn't too crazy and puke goes flying out your nose. Anyway...

    Looking to get the fuck out of GA.

    I can't take this place any longer. The cops here are horrid, dumpstering is pretty much a joke (they compact a good bit here or throw dirt on food unless you hit a grocer and they don't see you) and I need a change of pace. My friend in CO is willing to put me up but I have to get there. If...

    YO! SQUATTING A STRIP MALL!

    No joke! I was walking the town and not too far from my brother's apartment is this field which would be great to squat, as well as a (if not now, soon-to-be) foreclosed on business and some property behind it. However to the main point. I continued walking and came upon a strip mall that's...

    Backpack tips for those without an A/N store.

    Where I live, in the middle Georgia area, the only A/N store closed years ago (the building is still there however if you want to squat there). Although this is a base area it's pretty much impossible to get stuff like packs and tents unless you go to Academy or Dick's, where they charge a hefty...

    Squats in Atlanta.

    Does anyone know of a few? I'm looking to get out of the middle GA area but can't leave the state just yet because of my upcoming trial and my sister's wedding later in the month. If it will help I'm good at cooking, cleaning, writing/literature, media, and a couple of other things.

    Hello.

    My name is Urchin. I don't know what to say really so I will just ramble. I live in Warner Robins, GA, which is about 20 miles from Macon, which is one of the places I've lived in as well. In the past I called NYC, Baltimore, Philly, and several cities home. This is mainly because my family is...
