    Vagabonding in Delaware

    Looks like your in Sussex county. There really isn't much vagabonding to do, the whole state is like 90 miles. The beaches are nice but if your on foot it's a bitch to get up to Wilmington or Newark where you can a ride. If your by the beach I wouldn't fly, the cops suck... Also there's good...

    Heading west from NY

    By chance is anyone heading west at all? I am not in shape to tramp on foot and figured I'd try asking here. 1 kid 1 dog 1 pack, anywhere between NY and LA is fine, just trying to get down the road in the next few days... I have pitch for gas or whatever.

    The overly concerned pet lover. "You shouldn't have your dog out here like this" Me - "half my pack is dog food, so fuck off" I get really pissed when this happens

    Is it a dumb idea to travel with a duffel bag?

    like the green military pickle bags? i have carried one, and it did indeed suck cock, mostly because they dont have any kind of frame and will end up killing your back after a while. make sure you tie knots in the end of the shoulder straps, they tend to loosen on thier own and come undone.

    Extreme Climate Techniques and Tricks

    Hand warmers for extreme cold... Last winter some lady kicked me down a care package with about 20 of them, while flying in Austin. I stuck one in my boots, under my beanie, in my gloves, and had a couple in my sleeping bag. They can help you stay moderatley warm when trying to sleep if you put...

    Throw tent and tarp?

    Is that like one of those instant pop-up tents? They look pretty neat online but have never actually seen someone use one. I have never carried a tent, but am thinking about getting the Eureka Solitare... Idk much about throw tents, are they packable and durable? Main reason i havent invested in...

    anyone have experience/opinions with passing a service dog?

    Yeah, your right. I must have misread, or have a selective memory.

    anyone have experience/opinions with passing a service dog?

    I have been traveleing with my dog for a few years and have only had a couple issues... You don't want to register him as a Emotional support dog, as its not technically a service animal, actually you don't even have to register him at all, just Google free ID card maker and print one out...

    Any military veteran nomads out there?!

    how did you get your "name"?

    My name was meant to be an insult, as I have severe scarring on the left side of my body. For a time I had a lot of trouble with most everything, being left handed... It also fits my lifestyle, I tend to leave a lot of shit behind. I like it though, better then the ones I best not mention here lol

    Taking a dog to Europe?

    when I tried to fly my dog in to Argentina they had to put him into quarantine. They had a section of the airport where a vet will check your dog out before releasing them from customs, but I'm sure it varies depending on where you flying into. Make sure you have a flight approved dog kennel or...
