    Tips for bad knees

    Drink bone broth with lots of collagen in it. Bring a pot of pig feet and neck bones to a boil, dump it out to rid the impurities, cover with water again, boil on low overnight, strain. Boil down til it's thicker if you want. Season with salt. You can make lots of stuff with this. If you add...

    Punkhouse un-parable

    Why did you bomb all of my posts like that, because you disagree with them? That vindictiveness is exactly the personality trait that makes you a difficult person to get along with. It's not that the concept of punk houses is flawed, it's that you need to get a little more dirt on you before...

    Herbal Medicine

    Opiod addiction is a huge problem in the United States. On that note there are now many Americans pharmacies allowed to carry naloxone, aka narcan. It's an opiod antagonist which can result in a complete or partial reversal of an opiod overdose. Notably it recently went on sale in NOLA. you...

    Voting? (poll)

    Public opinion? Henceforth is personal opinion, expressed by this user: Voting is just a way to marginalize discussion. In forums like stp nobody pays attention to the poll score, they read the posts and analyze the answers based on what they know of the posters. If cursory people that...

    Herbal Medicine

    Threads like this are important. I encourage everybody to share helpful healing knowledge. Be sure to do research on everything you can, just don't settle for the first thing you hear. Wikipedia is a decent resource to start with for cursory knowledge. The more you learn the better you get.

    Seeking a fixed income familiy to buy a house together.

    Hi, how are you doing? Have you guys got anywhere? In the next couple years i would like to get some land and start a punk rock trailer park. I'm looking for good folks to join me. I would like to go in together on land. I know it can be risky with the wrong people. I'm working and saving money...

    Punkhouse un-parable

    That's the thing. Be yourself. Everybody is different. No set it premade rules works for everyone, at all times. That's why "don't be a jerk" and ''work it out" are keepers, it makes it so we resolve conflict together instead of just adhering to commandments somebody else invented

    Dirty kids are basically Pokemon trainers

    PKMN trainer RED wants to FUCK YOU UP!! They leave home to travel around training crazy animals and sometimes fight each other. Their animals don't listen. They rely on people giving them money as a prize. They spend all their dollars on potions and strange trinkets. They run away from/fight...

    'What's in the bag' with nobrains!

    @Dayoldpizza thanx for the tips! I'm definitely gonna invest in better gear in the future. my stove is actually an isobutane, but i got an adapter so i could run propane off it. I thought I liked propane better but now I'm considering that might've been ignorance & bias. The walmart pack is just...

    'What's in the bag' with nobrains!

    On today's episode: I had access to a postage scale so I weighed everything in my pack individually. I obsess about the weight of my pack, and I'm constantly trying to downsize. I seriously lose sleep over it. I want to be FRREEEE!! TO RUN from cops AND PLAY in dumpsters!! My dream pack would be...

    Setting up a van to homebum instead of traveling

    Part of having a van is being the kickdownmobile. What's the fun of having space/wheels/junk if you don't spread smiles and JUNK everywhere you go? once had this idea to make a network of vans to drive around and do supply drops and rescue missions like dirty kid truckers with radio dispatch and...

    Punkhouse un-parable

    Punkhouses take a lot of effort & commitment, and fucking heap of compassion and understanding for the varieties and difficulties of life. It's a process, not a goal. It's not easy or simple or straight forward. That's why it's called that. Not a normie house. Not a get along with everybody...

    Fuck yeah bro! Nice score. I was van bumming it last 1.5 years with Cali as homebase, it's a lot of fun, but now I'm going on foot again cos vanlife made me lazy & fatty & gave me a crick in my neck from hunching over in bed reading and beating off all day. But then I started running and doing...

    Greetings !

    Welcome to StP space cadet! I grew up in poverty, frustration, self-destruction, and hopelessness. Once I hit the road and gained some real life experience I discovered that I had never been out of options, that such a thing didn't even exist. It's all about how you perceive your situation...

    Police/Forest Service Presence at Rainbow Gatherings?

    I went to 2015 in South Dakota and 2016 in Vermont, and lots more regionals. Law enforcement usually isn't that bad. At regionals it's generally non-existent. It's not like they're cracking skulls all day every day. You'll see 'em do walk throughs, usually being led around by a smooth talking...

    Anyone carry cameras/laptops?

    Do you use a sleeve or case of some kind? What about when it rains? I'm considering taking my laptop, but I'm paranoid about mashing it.

    Propane backpacking stoves?

    I ended up getting that one. It's def not what the kid had, if his even had an adapter. It's pretty hefty construction, with a rubber washer inside that goes against the propane tank nozzle. I got this stove to use with it. I'm pretty sure this dinky turd is about the same as any other $15...

    National parks free. Only one day a year each park.

    For posterity: They mean just this year 2018, so you need to be able to access Canada already. From what I know their border patrol is pretty nuts. Get your passport ready and make sure you don't have any aspirin in your pack.

    Rain, Rain, Go Away...

    I love rain when I have a roof. When I don't have a roof rain is my true foe. No wonder there are so many legends of rain which smothers the world. Shit sucks when you can't do anything about it. I'm prone to lung infections, and rain exacerbates them. They say there's a tropical storm...

    Propane backpacking stoves?

    For cooking, butane sucks bad. Isobutane seems like it sucks, but is super common. Sterno and alcohol are total garbage imho. I'm not boiling water here, I'm making meals. A man can't survive on hot pockets & ramen alone, and decent food is the only thing that keeps this body going. Wood can get...

    A place to lay low when the going gets tough.

    Definitely wanna come through here later in the year, maybe early next year depending on how shit goes. I'm a practicing Buddhist, but I've always been afraid to approach most Buddhist lodges and temples. This place sounds more like my speed.

    Friend in Portland Maine

    In my experience not that many people get all the way out to ME, but from the ones that do they say it's nice.

    One-man Anarchist Wrecking Crew

    Funny, last time I was in NOLA I was using doors & windows for walls. Left for a week, came back, and my crazy neighbor had raided my shack, pulling off tons of structure wood for his own junk fortress! I chewed him out, got my wood back, and put it back together. Made a sky light using a...

    Stopped in my home town for a bit after I wrecked my car.

Army surplus here wants $60 for an ALICE without a frame, $100 with frame. The...
