Anyone? Fishing noob here.. thanks a ton. Peace

In a pinch and would love to hear some suggestions or experiences with making your own rucksack, sleeping bag etc

I will be a vagabond in about 3 months. That being the case, I am getting rid of things I do not need. I'm hoping someone can point me to a list of essential items one must have for going nomadic and living out of a backpack.

I'm exploring the idea of bike touring, and curious what some of you experienced dawgs carry in your home on wheels. What's the one thing you can't live without on the road that you sacrifice space and/or weight for?

There is this sweet website that I check every day that I have internet access called geartrade.com and they generally have super high end backpacking gear for really cheap, or sometimes still really expensive, but that's why you have to check daily because shit goes fast. I bought a $450...

ok so currently i have 25 dollars in an amazon gift card. i am not travelling for quite some time but i feel like i might as well pick up some stuff so i dont end up scrambling a week before i want to go. what small items would i do good to get soon and not forget about from amazon? i was...

Hello I am interested in making friends and finding future travel buddies! I currently live in miami/South Florida and am planning a small trip to Texas this summer Within the next year or so I plan on hitchhiking cross country to California Any advice would be great as I am a total noob!

Recently, I've been getting a lot more suggesting to camp out instead of looking for a squat. It turns out it's a lot safer and a lot more peaceful and private. Just like with squat, I have no sure appropriate gear, but I need to expand my options and way of thinking for the sake of my survival...

found and bought a kelty 110 pack one pouch is sewn with glue on the zipper a few small holes but overall in good shape paid $25 I will be glad to get rid of the ILBE military pack as it's 10 pounds without anything in it the kelty is 5 pounds The Goodwill Store 520 Massachusetts Ave

The following article was taken directly from my book, The Anarchist's Guide to Travel. If you enjoy it, check out the book for more information that will help to you live a nomadic lifestyle. Gearing Up What you take on a journey depends on two things. How you plan on getting to your...

If your in Ottawa and looking for gear, check out irvings rivers in byward market. Just bought canadian army bivy and other gear there for good price. Plus owners are nice and will help you out.

I'm currently on the west coast in Oregon Washington area, but really anywhere is good to know about, I just feel like there ought to be some kind of resource list for getting sleeping bags, boots, coats, packs etc for free or really extremely cheap thrift stores around the country

So if anyone read my introduction thread, I did say I was leaving today (Friday). Didn't quite work out that way as I was waiting until payday to buy the rest of my gear and didn't have enough money (Whole check didn't clear). Now I've gotta wait a little longer. Anyway, here is a list of what I...

So basically i made the mistake stashing my back pack deep in a bush when i went to a show and when i came out the tweekers of night have taken every whats to do now?

Hey folks, I'm in the medium phase of preparing for vagabonding, and I had a couple questions about gear that each alone didn't merit their own post. Thank you for your insights! Right now, I have a fancy backpacker's packback with an internal metal frame, but I'm thinking about trying to find...

So this just happened. Sleeping soundly in my tent and I hear a commotion. I peek out and see a couple guys running by with cops on their ass. I think they got away but the cops came back to my spot and trashed everything, shredded my tent and tarps and took what they thought had value. Only...

So i did not really wanna post about my bad luck. Some scumbag homebum stole most of my gear (the 3 most important things he did not get) In KCMO. I stayed an extra 5 days there looking for this fecal matter. He got word i was looking for him and he got into the wind. Props to my buddy Dumbass...

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...

Hey there, everyone! My name is Jack, but a few friends call me the Mad Scientist so perhaps I'll take that as my moniker. I'm a nineteen year old male who hails from Northern Michigan. I'm from a lower middle class family and I graduated from high school in 2013, I attended one semester of...

So I posted this in the gear list thread but it's deep into it an chances are no one will read it. None of these decisions are final. I haven't even bought half of this stuff so please add critiques and point out things I SHOULDN'T bring. thanks, here's the gear list: Large ALICE pack w/frame &...

I'm somewhat new so I've never gone out in the winter. I usually have a medium rucksack on my back but I'm gonna get a large alice pack so I can fit a bigger sleeping bag and whatever else to make me more comfortable this winter. I'm not sure what I could bring to make me warmer though. I have...

Hi! For my trip to UK I plan next month I have tried out what I'd like my gear to be: Ajungilak Sleeping Bag Army Backpack I bought today, € 25 :) Sleeping pad (will replace this, it's too bulky I think) Inside: Bandanas Thin long sleeved hoodie Thicker hoodie jacket Pair of jeans T-Shirt...

Ok so here is my setup. Not all items are shown but most of the essentials are in therr. This is a 35 L. Internal frame, with the frame removed. Bag packed to Max capacity with 3 liters of water storage is 25lbs. A weight just about anyone could carry. Anyone determined enough. Ok so left to...

so i'm driving around the country with the jeep for a little bit then i plan to sell it (really don't want to deal with insurance / registration / gas / possibility of getting in an expensive accident / etc). i'm looking at hitch-biking and it sounds kinda awesome. i can ride out of a bad spot...

I thought this might be a helpful and comprehensive guide to making as much of your own gear as you can. :) Enjoy! http://www.backpacking.net/makegear.html

Yeah, I'm pretty much new to the rails so have only been going through it in hot to cool weather. I know things will get colddd as fuck seeing as I was shivering my ass off when I lost my hoodie passin thru idaho in august. Still see no reason to stop and settle south for the winter (say this...

I recently acquired a Walls freezer suit and I seem to have lost my Carhartt jacket. Since then, I've done a lot of comparison in stores and have purchased a set of Walls "blizzard pruf" bibs and was given a Walls jacket. I don't ride trains, but I've spent a lot of time in adverse conditions...

http://www.pacsafe.com/www/index.php?_room=3&activity_id=6 basically it's a metal gage type thing that goes over your back pack and gear attached to the outside. and then they'res a cable attached to that that you can use to secure around a tree or a pole if sleeping in a squat with un...

So I recently bough a 3/4 size guitar for travel, and discovered that I can attach it to my pack by putting it in a gig bag and creatively placing some straps and carabiners. It hangs up and down parallel with my back, behind my backpack, and the weight is distributed pretty evenly. (I'll post...

Hello all. I stumbled across this website and I'm glad I did, because this place has good brand name items from, backpacks, knives, flashlights, stoves, boots, tents, bedrolls, socks and just about "ANYTHING" you could need out on the road or rails!!! (I even found "P38" can openers here)! Just...

OK, what is your one, favorite item, that is really a can't do-without type thing. It doesn't have to be your most practical, although it may be. Mine happens to be one of my more practical things. My sleeping bag. It was an older model, the big green one with the center zipper. It was the...

if you can make it there there will be lots of free miltary gear given away at the Poverello on saturday the 16th, don't know if you have to prove vet status or not

I am pumped i got a new backpack, pretty sweet, it is some cheap brand and probably wont last long, but it is amazing to carry lots of things efficiently

I'm not sure whether this belongs in how-2 or not, but I couldn't think of anywhere better to put it. Do you ever have the problem of being in an unfamiliar city and wanting to go to a show or something, and being screwed because it sucks slam dancing with a giant backpack on? I'm always so...

I need help!!! Come summer Im going to be hopping and I need advice on which pack to get. Keep in mind that I'm hopping traveling possibly hitching if times get bad for the entire summer and all the way into next winter. I need something that can hold alot of shit, but is comfortable. Any...

i tried posting this thread on a bike forum and i got a whole lot of responses full of technical bike terms that i don't know. i can ride them and fix them but don't ask me what the parts are called. anyway, i just recently was given a 10 speed bike with everything. brakes, two wheels, ETC...
