We got off in syr near a truckstop. You were going to clean a jungle. Hmu if you see this!

Hi don't have much money to go to Walmart to get a proper sleeping bag any ideas on how to keep warm I have a summer sleeping bag anything I can do to make it better and it takes up to much space in my alice pack

So I've kinda given up on making plans. Since I've started traveling, over half of the plans I've made to go certain places and do certain things ended up not happening because of something else that came up. But I still like to idly wonder "what if I did this?". So here's my latest "what...

So, I made it to base. Been here a week and the 'comfort of convenience' and all things that come with a house feel a bit daunting. Looking at possessions is to feel anxious for new reasons. Having the basic necessities of a house are great. Having the basic necessities to live are great. Having...

Hello lovely people! This is my first post here, but I've been lurking this site for years now. I'm making ideas of what to do with my summer, and as I'm already in BC, I'm thinking of spending the summer fruit picking in the Okanagan. I've heard cherries are where the money's at, and my plan is...

I'll start with a question. What should I do? 16 year old boy, living in a rich town with a high school that is acedemically superior(my family is not particularly rich, but above average overall, poor compared to friends) this town is very safe, peaceful bubble on the shore. It is quite...

Hey people. I am an ex-full-time-van-person and I’m looking at getting back into one just for the summer next year (2020). However, I’m looking for a contact in France for agricultural work (with which I have a lot of experience) for around the end of May to late September. If I’m not in a van I...

Hey, folks. I'm sure many of you are already acquainted with my current long-term project which is Slab City Library. The popular winter season is coming to an end, and the temperatures will begin to rise until they top out at as high as 130F. I have spent the better part of the last four years...

Hey everyone. I'm still sorta new here, and most of my travel experience is limited to more traditional means of transport, through the US... and then several years of packing around the Middle East and South Asia. I got hitched to a Spaniard a couple of years back, so I live in Spain now, but...

While sitting on my ass, doing nothing today, I recalled a moment from a few days back. While still at my last job, I was approached by a customer who had far too much money and far too few problems. Her beloved pet cat had recentley passed and she was looking for a book to help her cope with...

Whatup STP? I've been lurking around here for about a day. My story starts with watching various YouTube channels. First Brave Dave hopping Canada came up on my suggested list almost a year ago, which led me to Stobe, Shoestring, Stu, and then finally Brian Cray whose website led me here. I...

Is there a Pacific Northwest place like Slab City to go when it gets hot?

okay so this place okay so this place called panekes Island that used to have a school on it for bad kids from Boston has been uninhabited for several years now maybe as many as five but it has a big house a tool shop a boat shop climbing walls animal pens chicken coops Garden space basketball...

I'm Kaine, 23 M, from Indianapolis, IN. Last summer I decided fuck living in the city, can't deal with the noise, lack of space and privacy, and entitled people. For the past 3-4 years I've been working on and off at urban farms and living in a van. Then I got a vision that I'm not supposed to...

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...

I made this profile a year or so ago, and I never actually ended up going anywhere. Now, I'm finally doing it. I've got the opportunity, I'm getting my car fixed up, and its summer. I'm here in the introduction section in order to hopefully build friendships with other dwellers and people who...

I just got back on this site, but I'm staying in coastal North Carolina and know how to sail. Anyone want to try and head north for the summer? Any thoughts or ideas? I don't have much money but I know how to work on wooden boats.

Over the past summer I was hanging out in North Carolina with my good friend Josh and his lovely lady Tiffany. We did a fair bit of exploring and mushroom hunting, collection Reiche, Chicken, Chaga, and several other types of edible 'shrooms to sell at the local restaurants in Asheville.We took...

Well, some fortuitous events have led me to wanting to go and buy myself a farm. I've been running an off-grid library in the famous squatter town of Slab City, and I don't want to just abandon it. The Library has been the home of the last two STP gatherings and may possibly host more in the...

I learned to camp this summer! The few of you that know me know I'm more of a shelter hopper. This year, I got job and staying in the shelter with a job wasn't a good option. The other clients have no respect for themselves or anyone else so I left and started sleeping outside. I met a guy and...

I'll explain my situation. I don't have vehicle. I don't have anyone to rely on for transportation. I have funds; enough to at least buy bus and train tickets to get near the Salton Sea and for necessary supplies to last awhile. I want to get to get to Slab City and set up before the fall...

Hey! I got some summer work around the Scranton area, Ill probably be there within a month and stay until November or so than head south. I've never been to PA but know about a bunch of things that go on in Phily and Pittsburgh, I don't want to be going to the city much though, so is anyone on...

Well, January's almost over so a week ago I had somewhat of an epiphany~ i wAnna get back in shape so I can travel when it gets warm, and my hours get cut at work. So far shits been light, because I work fifty hours a week working out is pretty much the last thing I wanna do when I wake up for...

Hey everybody I'm Sebastian, so glad I found this forum, the information I've read so far is great and will definitely help me out in my travels. I have been in LA for a month after hitching a ride out of Vegas and goal is to make my way up through California and eventually end up in...

Hi there. Going to hitchhike/hop freight trains across Europe during Summer, probably starting in early June. Anyone interested in joining me? No definite route as of now. Just trying to spend the better part of the Summer on the road/tracks. Also trying to spend as little money as possible...

Taking a freak from freeform travel with 3 dear friends of mine who are more into the busing and CouchSurf thing. We're going to Bolivia, so it should be a lot of fun at any rate. All of them are into the idea of hitching and freight-hopping, but have never gotten around to trying either. And...

images above borrowed from http://wewillnotdrown.blogspot.pt Ok, so we've all heard about it, we all want to do it, but who's ready to make something like this happen? I've been talking to some folks and the idea came up (again) and I'm thinking, "why not"? I mean, how much money would it...

I am currently working on gearing up for a ride from southern lower Michigan. Just a little more fine tuning and my gear is good to go. I am interested in anyone that's wants to travel along with an old school rubber tramp. I currently ride a custom built recumbent with a trailer. nothing fancy...

Hey all, I'm new to the forum, but have read over soo much of it before signing up. Mainly stories and videos and gear discussions. I've lived in Columbus oh. most of my life, I'm 22 and haven't really adventured out much. I know this is the best time in life to do it so I want to leave soon. I...

Anyone planning to travel around the UK or possibly Europe this coming summer and fancy a travel buddy? I'm still relatively new to this whole thing and wanna start making some decent contacts and doing something with my life! I'm a good laugh to be around, I swear.

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...

"We all celebrate that we feel the unity of the spirit and we recognize the oneness of heart as we have the desire to follow spirit calling us to beautiful Montana for the Annual Gathering of the Rainbow Family of Living Light in the Summer of 2012." Wow - two Gatherings in one Summer? OK, I...

Left coast is the best coast... down the coast and up through the desert :) My lady dog Molly got bit by a rattle snake in Parker, AZ.. stayed about a month and helped raise a litter of puppys.. me and the boyfriend couldn't help but keep one each :)

This summer is going to be different from others for me, things turned for me completely unexpected. I've been on the road since 05 settling down in different places in Europe at different times of year and doing traveling at summer, but not this time. Came home after more than a year for 2...

Hi. My name's Nate. My wife and I play interactive, sing-a-long folk punk as Destroy Nate Allen from Portland, Oregon. I noticed a few people have posted about our band on here so I figured I'd share our plans with you guys so we can meet up if our paths cross. We're touring for about 3...

What's everyone up to this summer? Im heading out to Colorado in May, then making my way back to NY to meet up with a friend. Visiting some awesome spots like the Centralia underground burning coal fire, and the abandoned turnpike system in PA. Then he's going on tour with his band for a few...
