Does anyone else rock a bum flap? This photo was taken the night mine was given to me as a 21st birthday gift by a friend, who made it. I’ve worn it almost every day since, so needless to say it’s seen some wear and tear, but that makes it an ongoing project. I’ve replaced/repaired the...

Every pair of pants I wear often ends up ripping between the legs, and then the rip gets bigger over time. What’s your favorite way to mend these kinds of tears in a way that lasts? When I sew to add decorative patches to clothes or to mend my bum flap, I sew by hand with dental floss. Is fixing...

I've had a pair of Texas Steer (Kmart brand) boots since 2016 and they are leaky, creaky and plain awful. I'm looking for a cheap ($30-60 ish) pair of boots that are steel toe'd and waterproof or water resistant. Will be walking a lot, especially on ballast on railroad right of ways. Any and all...

I've been trying to figure out what clothes would be best to pack to keep cool when its hot. I've read many articles from multiple different sources (REI, Bustle, and various other hiking and traveling related blogs) about the best clothes to wear for hiking and traveling and such in hot...

I've been living in a warm climate for the past few years and this will be my first winter back north of the 49th parallel. The only dedicated cold weather gear i own is a pair of merino long johns, acrylic beanie and polyester fleece lined hoodie. I've worn that to do some 30-45 minute walks in...

Apolguise if this should be posted in another form, but I think this post does involve being healthy and hygienic while on the road, being homeless, staying outside, etc, I currently have a apartment sink to wash my clothing in, right now im so broke ass i cant even afford to wash my clothing...

I don't know if this belongs here, I'm not currently travelling; but these are good travelling pants. I got some nice material from the thrift store and sewed some harem pants. The waist and cuffs are really lazy, and I haven't added pockets yet. I folded the cloth in half and laid out a pair...

Here's a really good hiking channel with lots of videos including various kinds of advice for trail life, but a lot if not most of it applies to the general kind of travel you'll find people talking about here on StP as well. I highly suggest checking it out if you're not sure what kind of...

Found these on some old hats, in the basement of old hotel I was helping demo, right near the yard here in Winnemucca. I'd say 70's/early 80's. The hats were too rotten to keep so yeah....anybody want these??

Ok, so I’ve most of my gear figured out, which wasn’t that hard for the most part, but I’ve gone back and forth on what footware would be best. I’ve got these nubuck Timberlands that I picked up from a thrift store for 30 bucks, and I *love* that classic look, but ultimately I’m not wanting to...

I'm thinking of getting a poncho, but I don't really know where or how? I once saw this beautiful poncho with Pan-African colors back when I was in Salida, CO in this shop, but I was broke as hell that time and headed back to hot and humid Tennessee, and passed up on it. It sucks because I've...

I dont know if this is everywhere, it could just be because they were remodeling, but the walmart in Bryant Arkansas had a fire sale of mossy oak and real tree clothing for 2 bucks each, insect repellent thinsulate, water resistant pants and hats with light, all hunting clothing $2. Sorry if...

Just curious ... what's your preferred way to repair clothes? Sewing, patching, using safety pins or other quick'n'dirty ways? Do you keep your clothes in good condition or are you wearing them until they fall apart?

I have worn those M65 field jackets for many years and like them. By now the way they fit and pocket locations are intuitive. Every fall here in the Pacific Northwest, i get out the m65 and there's that comfotable feel, but I run into the jackets fatal thaw right away. It is nothing more than a...

What kind of materials should I look for base layers, mid layers,shell. For bottoms I was wearing Thermal long johns 85% polyester 15% cotton , joggers 98% cotton 2% spandex. For top I was wearing T-shirt 100 %cotton, 100% extra fine merino wool, hoodie 85% cotton 15% the wind was killing me.

If you do wear shoes and aren't barefoot (major respect) what kind of shoes do you wear while traveling? My docs have been great but they hurt my feet with out good insoles and they're expensive as all hell. In of need suggestions for new shoes.

So my mother bless her heart found some renfair type cloak and cape patterns at her fabric store .... I have 3 tan and camo tents from wall Mart 1 man tube things with broken sticks or busted zippers. She has started to quilt them together and modify them to be hopefully rain and mosquito...

Bought a pair of Altama px 10.5 jungle boots. Probly seems stupid, considering I live in the desert. I got them because I don't plan on being here forever, wanna spend more time in the shit ::wacky:: plus I fukn hate having wet sweaty feet. All I've managed to use them for is work. Anyway, the...

Will normal toe waterproof work boots or shoes work just as well for hiking? I can get a pair easily, if that's the case? What are the pros and cons of traveling with work boots/ shoes?

I was reading this old post by this ftra character and he said "a dirty skank wont protect you from train tunnel gasing." If a "dirty skank" wont protect you from train tunnels then what have kids been using...?

Well my day started with my loosing my favorite (only) beanie, already a rough start:eek:, but on my way walking home I looked in a ditch and saw a dirty black beanie just laying there. One good wash later and I have a new beanie::woot::... I guess you loose some, you find some! What clothes...

So I've noticed that some of my jeans have held up better than others, even the ones that are made for "fashion" have done better than tractor supply. I was wondering what experiences you guys have with jeans, like which companies hold up the best, which ones should I avoid, etc.. I'm going to...

Cargo pants and cargo shorts are the shit. They are thick and very durable. They have a ton of large pockets and your main side pockets have a snap flap to keep your shit in your pockets. They are made in Thailand. They are a little pricey but worth it for sure, best cargo pants/shorts in the...

Dickies has always been a brand I've turned to for work gear. I bought a black Dickies coat at K-Mart last month during the whole "buy cheap before xmas" thing was going on. I've been wearing hoodies (or doubled up hoodies when its real cold) for years and figured I might should get a coat...

Show us what you're wearing! I know there's threads for certain kinds of clothes already, but I wanna see it all put together on your filthy bodies. I know a bunch of you must have some great fashionable outfits you'd like to show off! It could be what you're wearing today, a favorite outfit...

I am here today to rant and dispel this stupid movement going around called clothing does not equal consent. Its just some bullshit for women to rationalize dressing however they want without consequences (the non rapey kind). Grow up and take responsibility for your choices. People are going to...

There are two traditional modes of thought when it comes to staying warm. There are divided into the synthetic camp and the natural fibers camp. But I have pieced together a system (I had advice from others) that combines both and uses them to their strengths. I will also go over some of the...

I'm a pretty cold person, and so I was thinking about getting myself a pair of bibs. Especially with winter approaching here where I live now...but also i was thinking ahead for the future. Any of you that have travelled with bibs before, is it worth the extra weight in the pack? Do they keep...

The timberlands are basically new. The brown shoes are super comfortable but very worn. I wear these to work right now. The Tevas are new and comfortable, but when my feet sweat they tend to slide around in the shoe. The Nikes are in good shape and very comfortable. Not sure which one or what...

Hey everyone, so I passed up buying a rothco pack in favor of buying an actual gi one but I already have some rothco jungle boots. I was wondering if anyone had any opinions on how they would hold up for vagabonding. Has anyone used them? Were they okay? Should I look for something actaully gi...

"All things that come from the earth must return to the Earth" I was talking to a homebum acquaintance of mine. He'd just gotten out of jail again, (his only crime was being homeless) and was tired of Police harassment. He's literally been out there so long that all his clothing has formed...

So in my travels around this city. I have finally found the best combination of clothes to keep from being hassled and blend in which is important. 1 nice long sleeved dress shirt 1 fluorescent green shirt 1 disgustingly stained but clean oversized tee shirt. 1 pair of brown or black khakis 1...

For lack of a better term, I call them patch pants. This is my fourth pair so they're not all broke in yet. They have a tendency to "disappear" Be that as it may, I love to see how other people attach the world to themselves! So show me gets n I'll show you mine :p Notice I've stitched in a...

Where do you guys and gals wash your clothing at while one the road? If you don't have money for lanundry mat?

I came upon this through reddit, and it's an easy way to conserve space in your pack by rolling your clothes into a compact roll, similar to the hobo roll I guess. For a t-shirt: For jeans: For socks: For a day's worth of clothing: Hoodie: I thought this was a good method...

My friends, I am having a die hard moment. My shoes are going to disintegrate at any moment. The thrift stores here are like Al Bundy, they only sell women's shoes. I really don't want to but its looking like I'm going to have to do a switcharoo from Walmart and pray I don't get nabbed. Does...

First off full disclaimer. My days of sleeping in the back of cars, in a tent or in old condemned house are far behind me. Fibromyalgia is a pain in my ass. That being said I hope someone can learn from my experiences. Yes this is a affiliate link. Like I said full disclosure This jacket has...

Summer is upon us and that means its time to ditch those ugly nylon rain ponchos and get ourselves into something more fashionable. First of all black snot rags hung around the neck are so cliche. Let's show the opinionated townies of the world that we have class. Let's swap those rags out...
