No, if I remember correctly, I think it was a picnic table someone tossed down there.

Did a bit of travels down the Oregon coast on 101. Down to the redwoods then back up to central Oregon, east of the Sisters. Figured I'd share a couple pics I took. Seen whales for the first time in my life, was pretty awesome.

Well, I don't know about the east coast but here in Oregon. Some of the state parks have showers. The state park north of Bend, Tumalo State park has showers for $2, no time limit. So, if you're not in a huge city and close to campgrounds, maybe check that out.

Ah. Thanks. I didn't know I had just seen the graphics and thought maybe it was someone on here.

Seen these on a grain car. Anyone know? Found them in Carrollton Texas.

Yep, been there. The calls to my parents and other family members and people posting shit to my Facebook and all kinds of fucking fun filled drama. Most people after a while started to ignore me. Then they started to lift their heads high and treat me like I'm scum. And whats worse, I grew up in...

Fantastic article man!

Welcome nick! I used to live in Lewisville right off Lewisville lake. So I was literally right in your neck of the woods. Stayed with a good friend down there for several months. I hated the urban sprawl, it sucked donkey tits! Took for ever to walk anywhere in the suburbs. Ended up coming back...

I did some hiking and camping in the Moosehead lake region. It's fantastically beautiful. Only thing that sucks is there is no overnight parking at any or the boat ramps so it was very difficult to plan canoe camping trips when you have to worry about your car. The people in Greenville were...

So, around the end of July last year I had packed my canoe up and started canoeing down the river in hopes of what was to be a trip of a lifetime. I made it 3 days in. lol I had camped out on a rocky outcropping overnight and when I set back into the water I got into some little rapids and my...

I was called all kinds of crap when I went to the local YMCA and asked if I could pay just to use their showers. I had a job, but was homeless. The head guy came down and asked me who I thought I was and that the YMCA is not a charity organization. He then said he had no clue who I am and that I...

Took my canoe out on the lake to test for leaks in preparation of hopefully canoeing down the Ohio. Took some photo's and figured I'd share with y'all. I'm thinking about starting my journey either tomorrow or Tuesday after the rain passes. At the moment it all depends on if I want to sleep in...

Thanks man, I don't need to ditch the car. i was just saying that if I choose to canoe now I'd just leave the car when i put the canoe in the Ohio river. Also, it's an old rusted 1989 toyota camry with 233,000 miles on it. i paid $250 for it from some old guy who used it as a farm car. While it...

Well, I've never been farther west than Oklahoma City. So I'd love to go explore everything out there. what I really want to find though is big open land or forest where I can drop my canoe in and basically live a nomadic lifestyle for awhile. Kind of like the Moosehead lake region of Maine or...

So, after my chemical burn at my job, Ive decided to quit. this is probably a dumb move but whatever. the decision now stands on whether to see how far west $200 can go in my beater Toyota or dump the car and canoe down the Ohio. I'm really wanting to explore places I've never been, which is...

Probably between 30 and 45 minutes. We wear a lot of protection and I didn't feel it burning me. I didn't notice it until I was deconing out for lunch and a coworker said "whats that?" I looked down and seen black and ran to the first aid station. Only thing workers comp is going to do is pay...

Well, I spent 4 hours under a faucet in the E.R. because my skin ph was 10 when I got there. they ended up using vinegar on the wound to balance out the ph. They gave me a prescription for silvadene burn cream and some kind of antibiotic cream.

I work at a battery recycling plant. Got exposed to Potassium Hydroxide from a Nickel-Cadmium storage battery. I kind of want to quit now. this is the 4th and most severe time i've been burned there. Equivalent to a 2nd degree burn, all that black is dead tissue.

Here are a couple of my pics. I have a lot more, but don't wanna bog down too much. lol

Looks awesome. Wonder if there are any settlements like that here in the states. I would move there in a heartbeat.

Which part of ohio are you from?

You should have cooked it and ate it!

Don't have any input for your original hair question, but.... It's either from Fallout 3 or Fallout New Vegas. But, Probably from New Vegas as there is a roving gang of house wives that wear that dress. but that chick is wearing a slave collar so IDK.

I'm the same way man. literally. I lost my job of 6 years in may 2013. Went from making $40k a year to losing everything I owned. Traveled all over the east coast trying to find myself and shit. moved back to town a few months ago and landed a job in another town over. A lot recently, I've been...

Man, I'd give anything to have a small plot of land to homestead like this. Thanks for the article. pretty neat read.

I wish I was debt free. but job loss, tax liens and repos fucked that up. Anyway. welcome to STP man.

St. Louis is a scary city to be in if you are on foot, even if you are riding a bus, IMO. I passed through 4 separate times on a greyhound and felt like I was going to be robbed in plain site while I waited for my transfer.

hello, welcome man.

I got this from their website. 10 years without seeing another soul save for those on the island. "Tristan’s most isolated period was during the First Word War when the Admiralty abandoned the annual supply ship voyage (as in the Boer War) and it is reported that Tristan had no incoming mail...

Welcome, good sir.

What a douche bag, If you wanna off yourself, why hurt other people in the process?

Another kickass thing tho think about is. since no one else seems to bother going back to the radioactive zone. He can "raid" old stores and homes for free electronics, dvds/blurays, games, books, clothes and whatnot. To be truthful, I envy this man. Almost complete freedom to do what he wants...

The way I see it is this. If you're having doubts now, you might really be screwed over when you actually start doing it. Never really a good idea to push forward with something if you already feels bad about it. but, that's just my 2 cents.

Sounds exactly what I am gearing up for. too bad you and I are a couple thousand miles apart at the moment.

My favorite is the mud hut into hillside with greenery. I've always wanted to be a hermit with a hut like that.

I always wanted to be in an offgrid organic farming commune but I dont want to mix up with some whackjobs trying to press their religious or political beliefs upon me. I don't do god stuff and I dont do politics.

Just curious if anyone here is diabetic. There might be a chance I am prediabetic and I'm not sure how successful I will be as a traveler if I happen to become a diabetic. I can't do a normal 9 to 5 life with all the debt and tax liens and other crap. So not sure what I will do.....

My local sheriffs department bought a Mrap armored anti ied/mine infantry carrier. This doesn't include the 2 other apc they currently had in stock. Tell me, ehat does the sheriffs dept. In a vounty with less than 30,000 people need hardware like this?

That's pretty awesome.

Your good with them, those questikns are good because they bring up stuff I let slip my mind or didn't know about. I have some tools on my amazon wish list right now just waiting for pay checks from McDonald's to buy them. As for the tubes and tires, will buy a lot of them when I get ready to...

My gear so far.I am building up gear and weeding out the junk that doesn't work. I'm wanting to basically have a bicycle setup and tour the country on the cheap while hopefully not returning to the 9 to 5 life for several years. Y'all have any suggestions or recommendations on gear? Keep in mind...

Hey man, no problem. I am a super laid back fellow. I'm all about the love and peace. I usually never take anything personal unless you get physical or steal from me. I had food stamps but since I was unable to attend some meeting I got cutoff for the next 6 months.

I got a real good sleeping bag, one of those 4 piece extreme cold weather military bags with waterproof bivy cover. As for the dog, was not my intention to use the animal as protection or to gain simpathy from potential "donors". I wanted to bring one for a sense of companionship. As I would...

I was there there for about a week in May. Not on a bike though, had a truck. I don't really have any apprehensions about it. I just want to get some gear and bike and trailer set up before I make the big jump and stay out permanently. Currently trying to decided which type of small dog would...

How yall doing. Been a couple places, like the Maine northwoods; Rochester, New York; Springfield, Missouri; Center, Texas; Dallas, Texas but nothing serious yet, still trying to get the feel before I make the jump and leave the minimum wage life behind and live free permanently.
