dirty scouts jamboree

Generally I try to announce a time/location for this year's Dirty Scouts Jamboree around February or March, but due to the pandemic and other shit going on in my life I just haven't been able to get around to it until now. Additionally, I am personally in a weird transitionary state right now...

Hello all my beautiful squatties, it's that time of year again where we start discussing where and when to have our annual Dirty Scouts Jamboree event! This is just a thread for us to hash out what would work best for everyone in terms of location, time of year, and what we'd like to see happen...

Here's my photos from this year's jambo. If you have some please add them to the thread! I'm looking at you @jimi This year was a blast, we had an abundance of food and alcohol, hikes, live music, and gorgeous scenery. We had no drama between dogs and humans, great weather, and great location.

Just tryna get an idea for how many people will be going. And who's bringin their dogs with em?

Hey everyone! Coming out to this year's party on an island? Maybe you're looking for a ride out to Bellingham so you won't miss the boat? Post here if you have a ride or need one and let's get everyone out there safe and ready to party!

Hey all, I'm gonna be organizing a lil open mic for all of us to enjoy! It'll be open to anyone who wants to participate, whether you want to play some music, read some poetry, do a stand up routine, show off your juggling skills, or some wild contortionist shit, the stage will be yours! I'll...

Hey folks, so I have a cheap movie projector, along with a power source to do some movies and possibly other fun stuff at the Jamboree. I'm thinking a selection of travel films and possibly a music video collection people can sing along to if they want :) So yeah, I would like to get folk's...

Hey everyone, so one day I got real stoned and decided to create an entire rule system for a tabletop role playing gaming based on dumpster diving and travel culture. After running it past Matt, we decided that the Jamboree would be the perfect place to premier this game, Dumpsters and Hobos...

The Garden in Lafayette Tennessee is hosting a Spring Jamboree from April 17th-30th. It's a free event donations are excepted though.There will be music food and fun. There's a free food kitchen that people are welcome to help out with and plans to build something crazy out of scrap wood to...

November 8th through the 10th It's a bit last minute but we will be holding the 2019 Squat the Planet Jamboree in New Orleans! The idea we're running with is a more urban exploration vibe and we''ll be having it take place at The End of the World; a decent location for a stealth camping spot...

Is there such a thing? There should be! No offense towards the Dirty Scout Jamboree, but I was just reading the changes to the 2019 DSJ, and it appears to be automobile-centric this year since it will involve meeting at Slab City, then driving further into the desert, and requiring lots of water...

Sorry it took me so long and that I didn't get more footage (as usual)! Thanks to everyone that came out and threw down to make this possibly the best jambo yet!

Just thought I'd make a separate post for those that aren't watching the can we talk about favorite moments at the jambo thread:

More to come later. I've been editing most of as fast as I can. If anyone wants their photos personally, please DM me.

Here's some photos from Jambo! Much love to everybody, my stomach hurt from laughing so much with all of you Hanging around the library Touring the Slabs on Corn's bus Ziplining in the canal! Laughing at our faces with these coasters hanging from our noses...

I can't get over how much fun it was c': (should this be in general banter?)

Hey! I've just joined StP through a fellow wondering nomad. Recently hitched from Alaska - Canada - OR to CA, with my trusty four-legged adventure buddy, Mubhin. Currently in Palm Springs with another traveler we picked up along the way, and looking to hitch our way to Slab City for this...

Hey folks, due to a variety of factors, there will not be a podcast this week as I will be preparing for this year's Jamboree in Slab City. There will be a podcast/livestream during the jamboree, probably on Sunday (the 11th of November), so look forward to that!

We've only got a month until the Jambo and I know that some people have concerns and questions about what to expect, so I thought I would make a handy dandy list of must-have items. Now, remember, we're off-grid. Some things that you may take for granted are more scarce here, like power. We do...

Hey, so @Cornelius Vango and I are working on the scheduling for this year's Jambo, and it was mentioned that some folks might like to take a trip to the Mud Pots at the Salton Sea. We will also need to do at least one daily town run. This post is to ask if any of you who have vehicles would...

Link: https://youtu.be/wtRa444-Fhw Previous guest Cornelius Vango turns the tables and this time it's my turn to answer the questions on this week's episode of the StP podcast! I cover a host of subjects, including my book, future plans for StP related projects (including the Dirty Scouts...

Are you gonna be at this years jambo? Comment yes, no or maybe and where you think you'll be heading in from. I can't wait to see ya!

Heya folks! This here is the official 2018 Rideshare Thread! If you are seeking a ride to this year's Jamboree please post your location and when you'll be looking to leave on here! If you have a vehicle and wanna pick up some folks on your way down this thread is the place where you want to...

We are looking for people who are interested in sharing their talents with the rest of us during the 2018 Dirty Scouts Jamboree! That can be either through a workshop they are willing to host or an art/musical performance they wish to put on. Time slots for workshops will be announced soon...

It's that time again! We're looking for volunteers to help with the general operations of this year's Jamboree! Keep in mind that these duties are all very flexible and nothing is set in stone. This is just a list of the general tasks that will help the event run smoothly. If you are interested...

What is the Dirty Scouts Jamboree? The Dirty Scouts Jamboree is the tongue-and-cheek name we've given to the annual meetup of misfit travelers from the online community Squat the Planet. This is going to be a rare opportunity to hang out and get to know a lot of the people from the StP...

Hey folks, so it's time to start thinking about this year's jamboree and what we'd all like to see happen this year. Propose ideas, etc, and let's get the ball rolling on organizing this event!

Hey, everyone! Sorry about the "radio silence", I've had my hands pretty full lately. To make a long story short, I've been working closely with @Cornelius Vango at the Slab City Library. Last month, they placed me in charge of the place. It's been a LOT of work, but extremely rewarding so...

On the second morning of the Jambo, Emma Rose came out to my place and we sat down for nearly an hour as I struggled through my immense hangover to tell her some of my story. So here's the resulting article! https://www.emmarosec.com/the-people

Doesn't seem anyone made this thread yet, i guess I'll start it. was wondering if anyone would be driving threw Atlanta or surrounding area for the jamboree.

So last time I was at the library at New year's, there was a no dog rule. Is that still in place? @Cornelius Vango will travelers with pups be a problem? I know some people have vehicles and whatnot but some don't. Will leashes be okay?

So as has become "business as usual," LEO have been very active at this year's Rainbow Gathering, looking to arrest some folks for possession of marijuana and other drugs and drug paraphernalia. An article online at CannibisNow indicates that this year's Burning Man festival will have similar...

Hey everyone, I put together this event schedule to give folks an idea of what each day of the Jamboree will be like, and get input on anything that needs to be added, changed, or removed. Check out the schedule below and let me know what you think! Worth noting is that it looks like...

What is kendo? Well, traditional kendo comes from the Japanese. It's the art of sword-fighting as a sport and consists of much discipline and years of training... but we're just going to use the bamboo kendo swords and whatever sword style you like to beat each other up, within certain...

Exciting news everyone! @awkwardshelby has been kind enough to design this year's flyer for the 2017 Dirty Scouts Jamboree! They created the awesome flyer we had for last year's gathering, so send them some love on their profile and let them know how much you appreciate their hard work! (click...

The below is a work in progress while I get the 2017 jamboree information in place and get specifics arranged. Please watch this thread for changes as I will post announcements on new updates as they happen! What is the Dirty Scouts Jamboree? The Dirty Scouts Jamboree is the tongue-and-cheek...

I used the Jambo as an excuse to dig out my film camera and shoot a bunch of photos. I just got the first roll developed, which covers my trip down the coast with @Geraldo, Cricket, @WanderLost Radical, and @zim as well as the first day of the Jambo. The best photo on the roll is definitely the...

Hey folks, for those of you that were unable to come out to this year's Dirty Scouts Jamboree, I'm writing this to briefly fill you in on what you missed and give folks a place to post their thoughts, pictures, and videos of the event. Due to time constraints, I'm compiling all the video I took...

Hey you crazy humans! I'm Donald! The Jamboree was my first time meeting up with people on the road and I couldn't have asked for a better introduction! I'm from Canada, Ottawa to be precise. That's just a bit North of New York and Vermont. It gets fucking cold up there for the Winter months...

Hey guys, if anyone is wandering, I was that crazy Israeli kid Vizion. Anyone is welcome to message me to chat or try to meet up at some point. Another thing is that I would like to get any and all Pics and Vids of me, preferably unedited. Anyone is welcome to use Pics and Vids of me, but if...

This year I am trying a new mode of travel, this 150mpg duo engine motorized bicycle: This is the route I am taking, mostly 25 miles per hour through mountains. If you are transiting this same area in the 3 days preceding or following the event or after maybe I can jump in your van for part...

Of course I got shoestring's tag as well as his great friend Cooter and dawg Bandit - Hobo Shoestring is one of the featured people filmed in the documentary, The Traveler, we will be watching at the slabs - took a little negotiation but we were able to get it - the documentary is still in film...

haha, i was thinking, wondering, hoping, that someone out there that's going to the jambo (or someone in the slabs) knows how to tattoo semi-decently? I have a stupid-easy cover up i want done on my wrist (three thick black lines) and if i could find someone to do it, I figure i could buy a...

Based on this map of permanent immigration checkpoints, there looks to be one in Niland. Any tips on precise locations and hot to avoid these on our way to and from the Jambo anyone? I plan on coming in from the east via Ripley and that back road.

ok.. an explanation of title... in Memory of Jaybone.. goddamn, poor jaybone, you poor fucking beautifull, hardcore bastard.. you godamned poor, poor, fucking shitheaded idiot *fucking fucking* bastard... i will think of you, while the sun tells us what she becomes when death knows Her.. i...

So I'm having a situation right now, this guy who's in a lot of pictures from last years jambo and attended is no longer welcome at the library or anywhere near it. And yet, the Jambo flyer is his facebook profile picture and he has been sharing the flyer on every fucking page ever on facebook...

Figured id try getting this more attention with its own thread. I have a van here in hammond that would be awesome to smash for a demo derby for the jambo. Only problem is i have no way to move it. I'm willing to pay gas money and buy whatever hitch equipment is needed to get it out there. If...

Hey guys, in another thread there was a small discussion around people wanting to maybe play a tabletop rpg. I'm starting this thread to judge interest and to find DMs. The three main systems currently in use are 3.5 Pathfinder 5e I have extensive knowledge concerning Pathfinder and can...

GREAT AMERICAN TOTAL ECLIPSE: T-MINUS 434 DAYS (August 21 2017 Monday - 10:00AM Pacific Time) While preparations and plans are already underway and in formation for the great Jamboree of 2016, I wanted to propose a possible location(s) for the 2017 Jamboree. With adequate planning, next...
