yeah fer water you should check the basement and see if you can turn on the pipe flow for cold water. for con edison stuff please be prepared that if you use yer real name you will require a substancial amount of debt if you intend on staying in that squat for any real time. my electric debt is...

Fuck yeah. Utah is beautiful and Seattle FNB is cool beans. Glad yer doing good shit and congratulations for finally letting go of all the bullshit. Welcome to STP!

I think even though not all traveling kids are punks it's a very significant part of the community and Very many of us get into traveling through punk and surrounding subcultures. Also filth is the fucking best. Also I'm suprised days n daze aren't on here. They are the biggest oogle band...

I wouldn't Cary a switch because they are illegal in most states and even the ones where it's legal cops will give you shit for it (more than any other knives) and sometimes lie about its legality to try to confiscate it

I keep a small fixed blade on my side and its relatively intimidating if taken out but is never something I'd use for self defense. Knives take skill to manouver and are generally not great weapons for people with no training but they are very intimidating and if you just want to feel safe or...

I got kicked down a pair of grinders that I've been traveling with as of late and I really like. The soles are great on ballast and they aren't too heavy. The steel toes get pretty cold but I don't notice because I wear good socks. Plus they have had no water sneaking in and despite having...

I don't know how all you heavy packers do it I hate it if my pack ever surpasses 30 lbs. I have done the two patrol bags together thing before. It's good but is wierd packing because to take up less space you have to have them separate and that means you have to put them back together each time...

Read books. Throw rocks at stuff. Play with your dog. Sew clothes and gear. Practice embroidery to make kick ass patches.

Ditch the sleeping bag!?!? It is fucking winter even when you get SW it is cold as fuck at night plus we don't even know this kids methods of transportation. I think sleeping bags and sturdy packs are the most important pieces of gear out there. How do you travel without one? (Not intended to...

Please for the love of god ditch the drum you already have one instrument and it is a small one that not everybody hates. Also for sure ditch the sleeping pad (cardboard is free). If you feel comfortable without a tent I'd suggest leaving it as well because the bivy is waterproof and awesome. I...

cardboard with blankets on top for the walls. the more insulated your sleeping space is the better. also getting a dog is great for heat and is a better friend than anyone else you could meet.

thats a pretty neat ass flag. Keep up the good work!

this is super cool. thanx for posting.

Oh those pictures are purdy. Few things make me happier than organized and productive squats. I feel like so many of the squats in the US are little more than hideouts where you and yer friends can shoot up and give each bed bugs. But maybe I'm just a downer

I used to strictly travel solo (besides my pup) or occasionally with one other persyn. Because people exhaust me after a while and I can't deal with junkies/alcoholics the vast majority of the time (not to mention how much easier it is to hop out on yer own vs with people) but Recently I have...

The rockaways are real and are a free spot to sleep at. There are gangs but they won't bother you if you don't bother them. But if you really want a cool beach spot in NYC than I'd suggest Coney Island or Brighton beach (also there are plenty of squats/squattable buildings scattered across NYC...

I agree, long boards are the wrong boards

For rain protection I'd say use a bivvy only if it's the military kind with no poles because those can be a pain to set up on a daily basis if not just use a tarp for sleeping bags you deffinately want a synthetic bag that goes to at least 0 degrees (Celsius I don't know Fahrenheit) for padding...

I love skating and have for the past month or so been traveling with my board. I just strap it to my pack and take it off when I'm skating around. So far it'd been a worthwhile thing to have but I have to un strap the board to put my pack in grainer holes and if you are someone who hops on the...

all clothing I bring for each season wintertime stuffs: 1 pair of carhartt bibs self insulated with flanel 2 pairs of canadian military undies (super antibacterial and are pretty awesome just to say you own) 1 pair of moisture wicking longjohn bottoms 2 T-shirts 3 light longsleeve shirts (I wear...

also for starting fires if on cotton ball.

so so sorry a similar thing happened to me in Kansas City Kansas. exept it was a shitty dirty kid named bile. shoulda guessed by the name that they were shit. hope you can get shit together in talahase.

As someone who grew up in and often stays in areas considered to be 'the ghetto' I can say that I have never gotten fucked with for wearing a skank and nobody in any real gangs gives half a shit about what colors anyone is flying let alone some dirty kid with a dread mullet. But someone might...

If I can work up money for the tickets I have been wanting to go to wasteland weekend for a While now. Would STP have it's own tribe?

awesome possum! what kind of projects are you looking into starting more specificaly.

For the past little bit I have been traveling with an iPad I groundscored in boston it's in one of those waterproof otter box esque cases and it held up fine to being thrown on and off trains, sat on, tossed over fences etc. Also if you are traveling in sub zero temps (Celsius, I don't know...

why thank you, EphemeralStick.

What kind of traveling are you doing, ie: rubber tramping, train hopping, hitching, etc?

Sure, that would be nice but the whole world is constantly labeling each other and if people who are already singled out and marginalized have an identity they can hold on to and feel like they are not alone it can make the world feel a little less isolating and bring power back to the people...

Super duper queer. I hate the term pansexual (makes me think of people being attracted to the forever boy) but that's probably the best way to describe me. Most of my serious romantic relationships have been with boys and gender queers but sexually I have had more relationships with gals...

That sounds horrid, glad you made it out without any confrontation. That dude was definitely on something.

of those two the handcuffs would probably be easier but the bacon more interesting but honestly maybe we should stop calling cops pigs, pigs are cute dirt playing animals who are extreemly intelligent and look adorable taking off and putting on suspenders while cops are the paid henchmen of the...

I totally forgot about this site. used to be pretty active on the political theory stuff there.

hammocks are super cool.

There's still plenty of squats in NYC. They aren't quite as organized or actively revolutionary as they used to be but they still exist. Best spots if you want to start your own are in the rockaways or Coney Island if you really want to escape gentrification (also the Bronx but there's no good...

This is my favorite band. Fuckin A! Their documentary is pretty cool and they got solid politics. It's pretty rare and super awesome to see good disability representation in punk communities and these guys do just that so 5 stars of awesome.

this is a daydream I have had as well. actually stayed with someone who had a renovated caboose as their tiny home it was pretty spectacular its super cool and if you have acess to land on which to put it things are not that expensive at all, at least relatively.

as far as with my actual hygene stuff I keep it seperate from my first aid because my kit is not the smallest but anywho. dr bronners toothbrush I shortened with a file to fit in the bag hand sanatizer toilet paper tab things (its like a buck for 12 of them) or wet wipes currentlly carrying some...

this thread has become so beautiful. but on topic HAND SANATIZER and dental dams.

too funny. hard times is the best especially the one about the punk house made entirely of patches or the one by the best deffense attourney in the goddamn tri-state area who wants his oogle son back.

Well put highwayman, Nola is full of disrespectful dipshits making a bad name for all travelers and squatters (not saying there aren't good people there but it really is a bit of a wasteland). One of the problems there is that a lot of people don't understand that the reason you have that "sick...

you really need to make sure there is something keeping you off the cold ground the more that is the warmer you will be. if you can try to get honey comb style cardboard, it takes longer for the corrigation to break down and is better for insulating. stay warm and safe.

yeah I have heard about that I just keep mine in a little vile but I might make a necklace out of them in the vile.

just try to find whoever may be living there and be curtious, discuss any plans you each have to live there and talk about what your intentions are with the space. if you dont want to squat the same place as somebody else trailor squats can actually be pretty awesome. good luck

My dog's kidney stones.

black and green. I dont play too often ( kinda off topic I prefer D&D because is complex and only takes up as much space as yer dice). still an awesome possum game though just try to refine your deck so that yer pack isnt weighed down by all the cardboard crack.

are you alf as in alien life form or animal liberation front?

squatting is a lot safer if you have other folx to help you.

yeah and when squatting you can make some cool connections that will help if you want to travel later. stay safe and warm.

Awesome possum. Sounds like you are trying to establish a dream many of us have had at one point. Where in the Midwest are you?
