[Teko]

honestly man, unless you got some cold weather gear, and some rain gear... i would wait. being cold is one thing, but when you are cold and wet you get sick and die.

Or you get nerve damage from frostbite.

Make a sign and of your destination, and stand at an on ramp. Try to make small talk. Don't take sketchy rides. You looked fucking big from your avatar (and hairy! ), it might decrease your chances slightly, but also stop the creepers a bit too.
Hitching aint so hard to figure out. Make sure you're going the right way. Try to use major cities as destinations, and look at a map now and then. Where are you going? I will plan you a route in 5 min. with google maps if it helps. Big cities, Highways, high traffic.

isnt there enough articles of dead riders on the site already? dont ride trains in canada, in the winter, if you dont at least have good cold weather gear.

If you have to go make sure to take one of those foam sleeping pads (or a self inflating one if you can afford it).
Also, having a body bag with you might be convenient for whoever finds you. Maybe just get inside of it when it starts to get really cold. Take care of yourself.
