I Know I haven't got everything I need yet but I just want someone to judge what I have now, what you think I won't need, and what you think I should get. My Pack: Osprey Porter 65 Cooking: Snow Peak GigaPower Stove 8 oz MSR ISOPRO MSR Seagull Stowaway Cooking Pot 3 Backpacker meals for...

When i first left home to travel, i was 15, inexperienced, and cocky. I was with my 17 year old boyfriend and did not take take time to plan at all- needless to say, i was very unsafe. I went to New Orleans and slept outside. I dont want to be unsafe next time.. I have quite a bit to lose. My...

First pack ever put together. It's a short trip for about two weeks... I felt like I needed everything in the world (especially warm clothes galore). But to keep it lightweight and at minimum. Damn. Could use some great advice for the next future plannings. It's a standard duffle that I wear as...

I'm heading back on the road again soon and this time I want to leave Europe. For once too I want to go somewhere that people speak English for a change since it should be easier to find work I would assume. I put this in the USA forum beause its the country I'm most concerned about If I leave...

I've been looking around and noticed there are a ton of portable toilets available, not sure which ones people favor for van living/which ones are easier to clean and flush, that sort of thing. This is for just a normal cargo conversion, not a full camper. Maybe that will come sometime in the...

I've been gathering supplies for my upcoming journey and everything seems to be coming together. I hope to leave within the next few weeks but I have one problem, where to? Bear in mind that I'm currently in northern Delaware. My original plan was to head south for the Winter. I tentatively...

I don't have much of a choice on where on to stay, except the shelter house, but for personal reasons, i rather avoid staying there. I have a tent, a few sleeping bags and some warm clothing to wear for fall. I'm thinking of tenting out in the outskirts of my hometown. I'm just worried about...

Hello everyone, I hope this finds you well. I have been directed here in the hopes of finding answers that I lack among a community of like-minded and skilled individuals. I'm attempting to put together a squat in Los Angeles but information is incredibly scarce. I have found a building which...

Okay first thing is my skin is fucking crawling. I've never seen or had this problem before sleeping outside anywhere else other then EVERYWHERE FROM SANTA BARBRA AND BEYOUNd (south) whats with the fucking ants? and how can i avoid setting up camp in areas that look like they are ant free until...

So I'll be starting out in Hagerstown MD and making my way to Winter Haven FL. By my reckoning, If I can get to the DC area, I can hopefully hitch on I-95. Does anyone have any experience heading south on I-95? Any advice? First time hitching, I've always been the one picking them up.

I'm trying to get to Chicago, leave here in two weeks- I have a possible rideshare lined up, but they're 50/50 and I need to get there to see a lover, and explore that city some more... I feel like I was there so briefly, I barely got to know it. Buses at this point are a non-option, they're...

I have been stuck in Fruita now for over two days trying to hitch out of here to Utah. I've tried flying all different kinds of signs even some funnier ones suggested here. I've danced, thrown an invisible sign, about to go as far as holding out a bottle of lotion while my buddy holds a sign...

Any advice for sailing down the ICW? I've never done it before, and don't really know what to expect.

Hi All, New to this site after a friend recommended it too me. I'm currently in Singapore and have only slept rough in Holland and Spain and am looking some advice about doing it in Singapore. Cheers

Okkk so about a month and a half back I rescued a sweet little staffie cross of aout 18 months from some dickbags who were gonna chuck her under a train. At most times, she's cuddly, friendly and though we've not been together long is getting more and more obedient by the day, coming when I call...

Hey everyone. I'm really new to the nomadic lifestyle (only been doing it for a month when this was posted), and I was wondering if you all had any advice for me. I've always been interested and good at general survivalism, but I realize that this is a whole different animal. When I posted this...

eff it. i'm broke but still want another tat. any tips? like tattoo needle sizes, how not to get infected, how to have the ink not fade, etc.

Heard a couple of things. Apparently it's best to cross near Montreal or Winnipeg but details I don't have. If you or someone you know has done this please get at me maybe a pm or whatever. I need to know EXACTLY where to cross. I know this is easy enough to do because each summer I meet...

I'm starting from Florida, going to try to make it to Nevada by this time next year. As a lady-bodied queer flying alone, there's always that paranoia of getting picked up by zealots or loons and getting raped or killed (the media has ruined my imagination, apologies). I feel like a lot of...
