rain

I have been hanging out the past few days at a nice spot by a stream in Upstate NY on a friends property. In the past 24 hours, we got like 3 inches of rain. Usually I build a shelter or hang a hammock, but no place for either. Left yesterday before the rains hit and just returned to my...

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...

Rain sucks. Rain sucks even more on the street. It's been raining constantly for like a week now throughout the coastal states of the southeast, so I've found myself spending most of my time crouched under overpasses or in abandoned buildings, waiting it out or just blowing off an entire day...

Hi! After a fender-bender, our car really shouldn't be out in a continuous downpour or thunderstorm until we can afford to replace makeshift body repairs w/the real thing. Any ideas on places to park (in parking garages or other shelter) in Orange County/SE LA County? Goal is to park for free or...

I was hitchhiking on hwy 460 from Roanoke Va to Pikeville Ky . A few hours of walking and I finally caught a ride, he decides he wants to get on the interstate. After a few miles he drops me off at a truck stop near the interstate. So here I am stuck at a truck stop by the interstate and a dirt...

Late this afternoon I had a walk in the forest within the property I live. I enjoy taking off my shoes and feel the humid, wet and soft sensation of mud and stones underneath the soles of my feet. Looked at my legs; so "dirty" my mother would say, "now go and wash yourself". Fortunately for...

I'm going to list you the stuff I have, that I COULD bring. If you could just give me some tips, tell me what I should worry about, what I need to buy etc. So, this is stuff I HAVE, not that I am definitely taking. Keep in mind, 'Am taking' means I'll more than likely take it, unless you say...

idea for an electric free, chemical free shower: one of these, made out of metal that can handle heat: mounted above two of these: with a water tube (that can be turned on and off) coming from the rain collector, into the pan with holes punched in it to make a shower stream, mounted high...

There is an abandoned business building at the intersection of I-75 at hwy 151 in Ringgold, GA. Right next to the Krystal Burger across from Mc Donalds. The building has a for rent sign, the front door is opened and the back door is missing. Slept there two nights ago to escape the...

It was warm and the air was full of mosquitoes in Milwaukee. We had journeyed some 2500 miles from Seattle for the 2008 crimthink convergence, only to miss it! Alls well that ends well; we met some cool peeps out there, Josh and Vince, and they had showed us to the yard the night before when...
