    The Church Of Carl Sagan Squat

    Awesome pics! Glad to see a well-run squat. Next time I'm down that way I'll try and stop through and hopefully donate some supplies.

    Do you remember your first punk show?

    If you remember your first punk show, you weren't there. (Old Timers will get reference)

    Thoughts on this van?

    If you're not absolutely stuck on a van, keep an eye on older SUV's. Example: just a couple of months ago, I scored a 94 Chevy Suburban. Just a tick over 300k on the body, but about 61k on a full block up rebuilt 350 TBI. Price was $800. Moral of the story is CL is but one option.

    how did you get your "name"?

    I have a few names, besides the one given me at birth. One that was bestowed upon me by a hacker (still use that one often), but I prefer the one I use here, as I live in the desert, and I have whiskers. I'm certain that I was called a few things by my ex-girlfriends that I'm better off not...

    Video Homeless Millenial Survives by Picking Up Women Every Night

    Wasn't sure what category this fell under... Mindblowing. Simply mindblowing.

    Busker? Let's talk.

    Hey all! Sorry for being so quiet over the past few months; was dealing with a terminally ill sibling...even put my show on hiatus for a time. Anyway, here's the deal: I have an internet radio show called Totally Random Radio. Some of you may remember it; I had Matt Derrick on it last year...

    Hobo/travel - slang/language

    The date idea is what I was thinking as well. Small twist on that, though: Maybe instead of a date, maybe it's amount of days on the road?

    Any News On Scary Laura??

    If she's been sentenced, then all the details are public record. Start with a records search through the county where she's locked up, then, armed with that, it might make it easier to fill in the blanks once you have other names and locations and such to search with that you get from the...

    Plans for when shit hits the prop

    I find your posts intriguing. I'm not calling Shenanigans at all, but could you please cite your research sources? I only ask because I would like to dig into the material as well. Yes, this is an honest request. Thank you.

    Mendo county tour with fire_jackalope

    Hey. While you're at Fort Bragg, check out Glass Beach. Cool photo op, if taken late afternoon, and from the sea side. Safe travels.

    Plans for when shit hits the prop

    Recommend learning how to successfully make gunpowder, and offer such in barter to those who reload ammo. That would bring a premium in a SHTF situation.

    which boots?

    Heads up: For those who have access to Amazon, right now there is a huge sale on certain models of Blackhawk! brand boots (the kind that troops overseas opt to purchase and wear all day, every day instead of their issued boots). Starting at about $30 and free shipping. Just thought I'd share.

    Road dog drives you crazy.

    As was stated, sounds like unresolved sexual tension mixed with unrequited feelings of a deeper nature. How long have you two been traveling together? She may have fallen for you, and is afraid to outwardly admit it for fear of rejection, and her thinking that you think she's not sexy...

    Hip Pouches/Fanny Packs!

    I have 2 double sets of these. They came with the rifle I bought, as well as a cleaning/tool pouch, and a badass bayonet. As a general storage idea, they are invaluable. They're now on a general "utility belt" that goes everywhere with me. They're damn near indestructible!

    Video Safety Dance on Crack

    Minus the fire dancer and chainsaw guy, that group is eerily similar to the crowd that hung out at my place in the mid to late 80's.

    Bivvy Sacks

    For those who use desiccant in their bivvy (a really good idea), a cheaper alternative would be to get a handful of fresh cat litter, put it in a ziplock bag, and poke a few holes in the bag with a push pin/thumbtack for breathability. Easier to get, and cheaper to! You could substitute a...

    Cigarette prices worldwide

    This x1000 Side note on pipes: The tobacco tends to smell better (read as more "publicly accepted") than cigarettes. I've been complimented quite often than I care to remember on my choice of pipe tobacco, in contrast to people telling me how bad cigarettes are how I really should quit.

    Intro Spoiled rolling stone at heart

    Welcome to StP! It sounds like you have the heart, now all you need is to study up a bit and make your wants a reality. Hopefully you'll find a travel partner soon, but I'm sure you already know that any journey starts with a single step. Good luck, and stay safe out there.

    Goats?

    It's plainly obvious that I don't know the real answer, but oblige me to take a stab at it: 1) Pack animal 2) Ready access to milk 3) Camp defense 4) In the most extreme circumstance, food. I'm sure there's reasons that I'm missing but, meh.

    what to do when all your plans go to shit?

    Matt- It doesn't mean you aren't meant to do what you wish, you just aren't meant to attend that particular school at this time. Check other options? Maybe WWU has the courses/openings/aid you can get into? Don't forget the option of "distance learning". Only you can stop you. There is a way...

    Let's talk about doing a real StP gathering :)

    It's my weekly radio show. Check it: www.tr-radio.com. Just thought it'd be neat. But, if it's over-the-top, no problem. Good times are still to be had! :)

    Let's talk about doing a real StP gathering :)

    Depending on when/where this goes down, I might be able to attend. Hmmm, my station is completely portable...maybe a Totally Random Remote broadcast might be in order?

    My gear, your opinion please ... ;)

    Not bad kit! Only suggestion I could make would be, if it's in the budget, a portable solar charger for your smartphone for times when a traditional outlet isn't accessible. Upside to that is that it is possible to secure the charger atop your pack and charge your stuff while on the road.

    Welcome to StP! Not sure about the PNW, but I would suggest starting out with looking at the Santa Cruz area.

    Hey! Tonight's the night. 8 p.m. PST is the time. If you have the means, please help support Matt by going to www.tmvcafe.com, clicking on "radio", and hanging out for a few. If you can't do that, it's totally understandable. There will be a couple of ways to check out the episode most likely...

    Okay folks, the interview with Matt last night was fucking awesome! In spite of the time mark mentioned in the broadcast, it's only about 47 or so minutes, but every minute is worth listening to. To help fill in some of the missing time (it's supposed to be an hour, more or less), I'll be...

    Actually, nobody can listen tonight, as this interview will be prerecorded. Would have preferred to do a live interview on Sunday, but his schedule doesn't agree with that. Yes, definitely the show will be available for download a day or two after the show.

    Here's the short of it: I recently started a radio show. It's Internet media. It's for one hour a week. It's live (usually), and unscripted/unrehearsed (always). It's called Totally Random Radio. Website is www.tr-radio.com. Yes, it's a legit show. Supporting Indie artists, and people who...

    Roll Coal (intentional black sooty smoke from diesel vehicles)

    That is an over-fuelling result. Too much fuel, not enough air in the mix. These days it's done intentionally. Otherwise, the engine is in serious need of maintenance.

    it's fuckin 2am and i can't sleep

    I can somewhat relate, having gone through long relationships only to have them run full speed into a brick wall (or three). Unless you personally need them, no drugs or alcohol really do anything for the situation. Only thing I found to help is mentally "going numb" for a while. Disconnect...

    The Unsafe Space Policy

    For too many years I (basically) ran an Unsafe Space/Squat/whateveryouwannacallit, in my parents house, for the time that I was in high school. We had our core group of 12-15 on a daily basis, and on party weekends/weeks the numbers often got upwards of about 100, but I knew the Lions Share...
