winter

Is there a better place to go in the winter other than Victoria? So much rain. And every else is frozen tundra. Ideally I'd head south but not sure I'd get over the border without a car or job.

I know it may seem weird to post such an inquiry with Summer approaching, but I'd like to have a plan or at least an idea where to go by Fall. It has gotten to the point where I can't take Jersey's cold winters anymore and would like to go spend January - March in a warmer climate. So far I'm...

Hi everyone. Sort of stumbled across this site while looking for good places to wilderness squat. A little about me.... I loathe society, pretty much everything about it. Been thinking for a few years now that I should just pack up and leave all the BS behind. I'm living in Lincoln right now...

So I thought this was pretty neat. It's a basic guide on how to make a full set of winter clothing out of "super soft" poly foam sheets. Following the basic principals outlined in this article, you can make everything from pants, parka, mittens, mukluks, hat, and sleeping bag. The foam material...

I'm in Ontario right now and I've got a decent cush gig but I want ot keep travelling so I was wondering if anyone could tell me what montreal's like for shelters or busking, or like just people in general. Is there a good scene there at all, shit to do? And I heard you can busk in the subays...

"It’s hard to really look at someone and go, ‘Hey, maybe something nice will happen.” I know too much about life to have any optimism. Because I know even if it’s nice, it’s going to lead to shit. I know if you smile at someone, and they smile back, you’ve just decided that...

What's everyone's favorite city to stay in for our cold Canadian winters?

Hey, first post! Been lurking for a while and finally signed up. Anyways, where would you go or prefer to go to beat the cold? I absolutely dread winter, and want to avoid having to deal with it this year. Mild winters are okay, but I'm anemic, haha. Thanks for your input! -Holden

May be able to start traveling this fall but may have to wait until this winter though I'm not certain if that'd be a good idea being that it'll be my first time undergoing a journey of this potential size. I'm currently needing advice on whether or not I should wait until spring or are there...

The Vancouver cops have recently purchased at least one LRAD system, just in time for the winter fucking games. I was wondering if anyone has ever dealt with this. It was used at the Pittsburgh anti g-20 meetings a couple months ago as well. I'm sure if you ever wanted to piss off a large group...

So, I just returned to massachusetts after hiking like 900 miles of the appalachian trail. I still have a good deal of savings and the trail, instead of taking the need for adventure out of me, has made it grow. I would like to venture out west to see what it has to offer me. I know for a...

This is a "Marc" public transit train. I rode from King Street to downtown Washington DC. Also to get out to where the CSX yards are. I just got out of jail in Thomasville, Georgia where I had spent 16 days in custody for Railroad Trespassing. I had gotten caught sleeping inside an old...

hey, I'm thinking of squatting in B.C. during rainy season, and my ideas for squatting are: - tree platform, with a tarp overtop (some of my friends did this before, and perhaps can explain how?) - one of those zipper-up hammock things, with a tarp overtop then there's also the finding an...
