Well there was a posting in Litha Park about a few weeks ago that there was a Cougar sighting near a neighborhood just outside the park. I was wondering if anyone had any tips or stories on how they handled wild animals while camping out in the woods. From my experience, I dealt with a few...

I haven't hitched through all of South East Asia so I am uncertain on many places, but I was going to go over some advice for hitching in the places I traveled over the last month. Malaysia So this is probably the easiest hitch hiking I have ever done in my life depending on your location...

Problem: You've found the perfect spot to set up home base in this town... You're gonna need transportation to get around and on the cheap. The obvious solution to any punk is a bicycle, but for rubber tramps space is limited and sacrificing sleeping space for a bike kinda eliminates the point...

So I thought I'd share some tips for those new tramps who plan to spend most of your time in cities, suburbs, and towns. Even on sites about "stealth camping"; I've noticed there is really limited information on living in an RV in the city, and the information that is available never explores...
