Hello all, I am from Alaska, but live in the PNW. I've always wanted land, but prices are so high, Ive considered just squatting. Kind of like making a dugout cabin or other type of hobbit hole in the woods, far away from people (but close enough for hunting, foraging, and a running water...

Thought yall might enjoy this documentary that some friends of a friend of mine made about their race from Washington state to Alaska in a sail/row boat. Really well made film i think.

Hi All, I’m curious if anyone on here has experience driving to Alaska thru Canada while the border is closed. Canada currently allows it if you’re going to school, a permanent residence, or a job. The last option is what I’m wondering about specifically. I’m thinking about going wwoofing up...

What's going on Ramblers, Gamblers and Nomadic Squatters alike. Found this whilst looking for an alternative to locking myself into my topper while boondocking. Been camping, traveling, fixing, adding and as of this year hitting up the Rambler 500 and Gambler 500 shoulda been the Gambler 250...

When I turned 18 I hitchhiked from WA to Portland OR. After lots of soul searching I decided to go to Alaska. I stayed all around the Kenai Peninsula for almost 3 years before returning to WA. I met lots of very nice and a few not so nice folks. I worked for housing and made work connections...

Me and my son are gearing up for a train hop to Seattle. Though I have a distant cousin who lives in Kenai Alaska who wants us to go up for a visit. They own a brewing company there. I was seriously thinking about getting on the Alaska State Ferry. Would like to hear about anyones experience...

Anyone have any advice doe neat stuff to see? Its my birthday and girlfriend got us tickets to go to the last state I haven't visited yet, Alaska. I think we are primarily going to be around Denali and Talkeetna. Any good suggestions for things to see in Anchorage or Fairbanks or anything? I...

How would one get to Alaska from the 48 by freight hopping or boat hopping? Do you guys have tips on cargo boats and/or trains?

The improbable voyage of an Anchorage man who tried to sail to China to see his wife and son John Martin sailed this 8-foot boat across the Bering Sea and hoped to reach China. He is currently detained in Russia. (Courtesy of Jerry Lamont) John Martin III set out last summer to sail from...

Heres some picture from my trip to the Kenai peninsula this summer. went up to cut fish during the sockeye run on the kenai, but the run was super small so we just fucked around for a month. spent alot of time around soldotna. went to homer, kenai, kasilof. next year i think we're driving up so...

Right. So, this may not count as what's typical or expected of stories in this group, but I feel it's one worth telling and I want to tell it now while it's still fresh in my mind. I quit a good factory job and sold all my shit back home to move to Alaska. I'm only here for the summer...

Enjoying and playing some music with some lovely folks...

I'm in the process of hitching the entire Alaska highway from South to North and back again, funding myself with donations, odd-jobs and scoring free shit. This is the first of my video series. I'll post more in this thread as I upload them. More coming soon, I just have to work on editing the...

I'm curious if I can get from the lower states through Canada to Alaska without a passport? I'm not planning on making the trip until sometime next year but I can't get a passport because I owe the state lots of money which I can't realistically pay anytime soon.

Now that I've been living full-time in my bus instead of just using it as a detachable bedroom and work truck, I decided to take some pictures of my set-up.

This is the first of the videos I'll be uploading about my on-going adventure rubber-tramping poor (as fuck) from Slab City to Alaska where I have tentative plans for adventure!

I'm looking for a person to travel with hitch hiking or any advice for hitching Alaska. Currently situated in Anchorage looking to either travel to Girdwood or Seward first (or anywhere you can suggest too). I have my own supplies and whatnot and travel with medical supplies. I can give you...

Anyone feel line touring to the great white North? I'm in slab city now, planning on heading north in the spring. I need to find work and am willing to work my way up. So if any of y'all life up the west coast and know of anything, get at me.

I know it is early Spring and the Equinox is brewing, so it is cold where I choose to be. My hope is to learn how to sail while also getting to Alaska. looking for a simple cruise with a knowledgeable boat owner. Is this you, or you know of someone?
