The #bookz irc channel on undernet always worked for me. They've got a ton of great hosts in there with tens of thousands of files each.

"The precondition of a civilized society is the barring of physical force from social relationships. ... In a civilized society, force may be used only in retaliation and only against those who initiate its use." I just can't get behind sucker punching someone. Nazi or otherwise.

People tend to lose weight while on the road. Maybe they don't stay in shape, but they lose weight a lot of the time. If you wanna stay in shape just do push ups, sit ups, maybe jog a bit, find some rocks on the side of the road and do some curls with them, drink lots of water and maybe try to...

Also with @Mankini posting pictures of Spartacus I remembered that not only does Trump not have political experience he doesn't even have military experience. Most presidents, in fact I believe all except Jimmy Carter, were career politicians, career military men, or lawyers before being...

It's kinda sad TBH. The democrats were facing off against one of the most easily defeatable candidates in american history, and their plan was to collude against the more popular candidate and nominate one of the most controversial and despised politicians in modern american politics. It sounds...

OK so, bus route 91 goes all the way into the willamette forest from Eugene Station which is pretty much in the center of town. I’m guessing there’s a home depot or lowes or something in town to get a shovel, pickaxe, whatever. There are lots of trails around McKenzie Bridge that lead into the...

I'd be willing to pitch in some money, once I get some, if we were to get a claim we could use as housing and a small scale mining operation. But to be honest, if we go deep enough into the sticks, we could probably get away with digging a mine-like tunnel, with hand tools at least, for quite...

Here's a video, the first in a series, of a guy making a mine. Should be the same general principal. Dig down a ways, tunnel, add support. To be honest I wouldn't mind coming along to help out if you could use an extra hand. No guarantees but it's looking like the slab city library won't...

Living in the woods has been a thing I've always wanted to do, so I've done some research into it in the past. I've not heard of anyone tunneling in the wilderness, at least not without putting some sort of bunker or bomb shelter in. I'll give this much advice; build lots of support. Mithril...

Cool. I'll keep an eye on this thread. It's looking like I can head out to the slabs in early February so It'll give me time to settle in. I've wanted to get the hell out of LA and to the slabs for months but school and family shit has kept me down. Even if you're still taking care of the...

oh yeah... I always stay away from that shit. It's a big part of the reason I barely smoke anymore, if ever. when people try to pass that shit off as something else it really just ruins the fun for me. But I doubt it would do that to your face.

I should also add that you should try to keep it out of direct sunlight, especially if using tetra. Wearing a wide brimmed hat or baseball cap should do.

Fucking awesome dude! If I had the money for that I'd do that in a heartbeat. Also I've read the hobbit five times, so as you can imagine living in the shire is one of my fantasies.

DISCLAIMER: Notice how I don't have an MD after my name? Yep not a doctor. But I know a few things 'bout rashes. Basically this. I have eczema so I know a bit about rashes and creams. This, unlike eczema might (may I stress MIGHT) be contagious so don't go too heavy on the make out sessions...

I'm free after mid-January. That's about when I can leave. Getting to the slabs isn't an issue nor is the heat, I can handle that. I guess the main issue with me is if you can hold out there to late January/early February. You didn't say when you'd get the farm so I assuming you aren't sure...

What is this abandoned town near the slabs and how have I never heard of it?

I can't stand Akon. My cousins used used to force me to listen to one of his horrible songs (don't remember which) back in '08 or '09. I don't know what to tell you to say to him that won't get you kicked out of the club so I won't bother. But I am wondering why you can't give the tickets away...

From the site: "By booking an onward ticket, you need to provide us with your title, full name, date of your desired onward flight, and of course your departure country. The arrival country is optional; leave it blank and we’ll select a random one for you (recommended). After an order is made...

I've slept in some bushes with nothing but jeans and a hoodie in late winter. It wasn't fun but I managed. With el nino coming I'd recommend the 0 degree. Just in case.

Thanks. I'll look here and ask questions should I need to.

I've never had as bad of luck as only going 50 miles in two days but I've been close. I've hitched in Arizona and though I may not have had the best of luck it was miles ahead of SoCal.

I love how his name is Lonny and his wife is Conny

I know SoCal sucks. Believe me, I know. It's one of the only places I've ever hitched. But I've never had that much fun hitching in SoCal. So I'm wondering, are there ANY easy to routes coming out of L.A? I don't even care which direction It's headed. All I'm looking for is a route that won't...

I really want this but it's a tad expensive for me. I guess it would be worth it. Thanks for sharing.

Yeah I guess you've got a point. Personally I'd go with goretex in the snow or rain but I suppose as long as you've got thermals almost anything will do.

Interesting. Has anyone ever seen bigfoot at slab city besides this girl? like one of the full-timers? Also is the FTRA even still around? I always thought of FTRA as an 80s-00s kinda thing. Most of the FTRA old timers are settled down right? I don't know maybe I'm just being naive but I don't...

That is true. But material that does breath is usually weaker and not as warm. But I suppose for a summer rider goretex is unnecessary.

This used to happen a lot but I think now since homeschooling got big the LAPD has cooled down on the truancy bullshit. I guess some parent threatened a lawsuit when his/her homeschooled kid got in trouble. The LAPD loves fucking people over but hates getting sued. Usually.

I wouldn't say goretex is the *only* option but I agree that it is the best if available. I once camped in the redwoods with a T-shirt, jeans and a hanes jacket. (it was all I could afford lol) But back then I was young, dumb and well, you know :p I nearly froze to death (it was December) and...

Like everyone's saying, an alice pack is your best bet. Attach it to the top or bottom. Whichever works for you.

Am I the only one who finds it funny when the news calls blow-up dolls "inflatable dolls". I mean is the phrase "blow-up doll" really that bad? No, but really Dismaland is now on my list of must see destinations. If I ever get the money for air-fare I'll be there in a heartbeat. I hope Disney...

Very nice inspirational article! Makes me want to walk a very long distance... Too bad it's a lot harder to take long distance walks, what with busy roads and all.

I wonder if you need a drivers license, being in a motor vehicle and all...

Guileles are always fun. For the most part any guitar tab will work for them provided said tab works for acoustic guitar. CL often will have at least 1 guilele for sale so if buying used is your thing check there first.

I'm not afraid to fly but there's no way in hell I'm flying in one of those death traps. Cool story tho. I'm just too scared of the little planes

Man sorry to hear you had such a rough time. I don't know what the deal with all the cops is... I guess san Francisco is another city trying to "clean up" the tent cities to build condos or some shit. I mean could they just leave the hobos alone for once?

Cool stuff! Now if I could only get a car...

Lets be real here. The judge knows it's a mislead ruling. But he's got the interest of the power companies in mind. That and florida is bass ackwards on just about everything.

Less is more. Cut down on alot of the cooking stuff. Get boots, good clothes.

I'm not a huge coffee drinker but 15-20 bucks worth of coffee for writing a letter seems great. Do I smell a new scam brewing?

Now I have more reasons never to go to ohio. Atleast not Xenia.

American "justice".

The thing is to the average idiot yuppie teenager the guy's in this video are the "normal ones". Your average teen on twitter might not even realize some of these people are homeless. Nowadays all these kids think every bum lives in a dumpster, talks to fire hydrants and pulls around three...

Wouldn't you still have to pay docking fees? And does it function?

I guess people don't realize that almost everything has arsenic in it. But I suppose there is a legal limit as to how much. The levels in the wine in question are doubtful fatal but as my mom used to say; The law's the law.

Cool. If I'm ever in Washington I'll hit you up.

Naw it's OK. I'm starting to feel the same way each time I see an "I'm new to train hopping give me all your knowledge" thread. I looked on google but the stores I found didn't seem to sell uke strings. I might just end up buying a 3/4 size acoustic guitar. Also I'm sure I can find this...

For that price might as well just do that...

By now you've probably heard me run my mouth about how I'm going to slab city next fall or the fall after that, but I figure I'd get some hitching in and test out a route at the same time. So I felt like going to palm springs. I've been oce or twice but never hitched there. I live in LA and the...
