Hey y'all. I'm heading up to Alaska in a few weeks to work as a deckhand on a boat for a bit. Never been up to Alaska- got hooked up b/c a friend fishes there. Clueless about what to bring for fall/winter. The salmon season is only for a bit longer- so I'll only be working for like a month...

For personal reasons, I cant stay at the shelter house during the winter and i hate being around strangers, im considering sleeping outside in the winter, but on da cheapest fundz possible. Any suggestions and comments people?

Here lies the tale of my return trip from PDX to Oakland. As always, not enough pictures. ALso, feedback always appreciated. ^_^ enjoy! With baited breath, I watched a diminutive QPDRV pass by with naught a single rideable car. Closed boxes, lumber racks so full someone had to use...

if your boots dont keep your feet warm enough this idea seems like it would work. the idea is to take one of those windshield sun shades and cut some pieces out the same size as your boot insoles. put them in the bottom of your shoes and youre done.

man I feel like I am struggling. I am wondering if anyone else has this problem in the winter. i'm not sure how much the weather can affect your mood but the depression seem to follow a schedule.. also holidays, unpleasant anniversaries etc... just a bummer in general. anyone else relate/

For personal reasons and because I'm tight on fundz, I refuse to stay at the shelter house and use couch surfing.com for a place to sleep during da winter cold nitez. Where are the best places to squat/sleep during winter cold nitez in the city? im open-minded to all suggestions. Thanks.

Just wondering if anyone is in the slabs right now. Never been there and Im looking at coming down to SoCal desert for a month or so to escape this terrible Oregon winter. Can you still swim in that canal, and is the hot spring still soakable? Also wondering what the Day Labor work is like in...

Howdy, all. Thought I'd pick your brains a bit. Been wandering around Cali for like a month and as it gets colder I find myself looking for a place to hole up for the winter, perhaps recharge my funds somehow and relax, plan for spring. A place with good houseless community services and nice...

I am planning to ride my bike through the american south, southwest, and pacific coast during winter. Any ideas on the clothes that won't over stuff a 45 liter backpack?

Seems like I may be squatting in the wilds of Massachusetts this winter. The house is in good condition, but I've lived through Massachusetts winters and now how cruel they can be. I've also never squatted a place long term, or really even more than a night... So, any hints, tricks, or tips? I...

For 3 months this winter I camped deep in a forest and it was probably the most fun I ever had, so heres the story. I went to stay with a friend who was squatting a house nearby one of the coolest national parks in southern france. We decided we wanted to explore the forest and set up a base...

Hey y'all... been enjoying the site so here's me joining. Ran away from my home bound life in a moment of crisis last June... Just handed over my keys and walked away, with nothing and no plan, no research, no experience. First person I met on the streets was a trainrider ... He started...

Hi there! I'm thinking of squatting in the back of this apartment building, its kinda like a backporch, but has has cement floors and there is some cold air that does come in, so was thinking of getting some big furniture boxes to lay in, 2 regualr sleeping bags ( geared to like -30 winter)...

I'm thinking of doing some winter camping outside, just wondering what kinda tent I should use, ( like a specific brand, type). Also gonna be doing some squatting and if super cold, possibily stay at a shelter house. Looking for something affordable or to make do with untill I find or save up...

It is completed, or set up at least. I'll see how it holds up, it's supposed to rain the next couple of days. I've also established a fire pit for cooking and found an old dishwasher off the tracks and I hollowed it out to become a stove. It is an ideal spot in relation to water sources (ponds...

So I'm looking to buy some nice winter boots that can withstand winters in the dakotas and stuff, while still holding up under wet winter conditions common around the northeastern US. Obviously walking a ton is a must. Anyone have any suggestions? I've had my eye on some keens, some rocky...

Right now i'm reading Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance and over the summer i read a lot of Edward Abbey books, working on getting a copy of Good News by him. Also I'm pretty into Cormac McCarthy I read Suttre over the summer and it has to be one of my favorite books. Most of the beat...

What do you guys take with you for winter? How does it compare to what you take any other time of year? I'm currently in southeast Georgia, and I want to go west along the southern states all the way to California. I'll be walking/hitching most of the way, but I want to train hop at some point.

I'm wondering how traveling during the winter in the us is. I've only ever hitched during the spring/summer. Any advice or stories would be helpful.

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...

I hate winter and this shitty English weather. Me and a couple mates are gonna hitch through France to Barcelona and then probably head to southern Spain after that. Anyone know any cool places for dirty broke punx to go check out? we're taking our instruments with us to busk. We play folk...

Hey everyone! So, as many 0f us have experienced, there was a nice snowfall today! Instead of getting bummed about travelling season for me ending over the winter months, I've spent the day being dreamy and imagining some three day winter ventures. I'm working now, so nothing too long ya know...

So I'm going to be in the northeast Tennessee, north Carolina and west Virginia areas all through the winter. I'm not very familiar with these areas. Looking for places to go, things to do and possibly places to stay. Jessie

So stoked. The first frost in Alaska means it's time to start harvesting the rose hips. Yesterday, my friend handed me a jar and told me to smell the contents. It smelled so good. "Rose hips," he told me. Then, my flatmate did the same thing to me today. I knew I had to start gathering some...

I hope. I'm in Johnson city TN. Staying till spring then off to Saipan where I plan to escape from reality. Shooting for Plato's cave. This is the longest I've been anywhere in 8 years and I really needed some down time. I'm soooo ready to get back to the dead end of the road tho I'll prolly...

Prologue It’s funny that just a week ago I was thinking to myself how laid back train hopping has become for me. Don't get me wrong, I still get all the joy in the world from it; but the days of heart stopping close calls, getting stuck in the middle of nowhere, and everything that came with...

my plan for ages has been to go west for this winter but circumstances are making me seriously reconsider. this girl i really care about is super sick and i dont want to be so far away from her. i'm desperate to see the west but i've never spent any real time in nyc and i'd be happy enough...

im just in the wishing stage, but im looking at heading north this Fall/Winter. crazy i know. but after i hit up the occupy folks in nyc, any suggestions on my trek through VT, CT, ME, maybe even NH and Quebec?

Hi everyone! I'm curious to know if there are any squats in the Boston area. I'm leaving in a couple days from Arizona. I haven't been to Boston in years, and I'm looking to go up there and meet up with some new friendly faces. Anything helps!

How many of you real train riders ride all winter long? How many of you love desolate and miserably cold places? Whats your favorite season to ride and why?

Hey guys and gals, I'm going to be bumming around the states for the first time starting in September. My general idea is to start making my way south from upstate New York before the cold starts setting in. I'll probably be spending most of my time around and inbetween places like Louisianna...

So the most recent trip i went on was to chiapas mexico with my girlfriend and we travel around for just about two weeks. Here some photos from the trip.

Does anyone have any experience with this?

So what's your favorite warmish place to go during the winter season? Is it your favorite place for the warm weather or just a Combonation of decent weather and friendly people?

they allow free outback camping , but you have to apply for a permit, you need a boat to take you to a from the island. the way i see it on sattelite its full of islands and sandbars, and the longest stretch of open water is only 2 miles. maybe a homemade kayak? in winter the no seeums and...

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...

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 :)
