Hello STP!

[Cristian]

well basically i want to start traveling, i'm kinda sick of the home-life/taking everything for granted...i just want to try out an adventure to basically anywhere...i've done abando's before, and i had no problem with that for about 3 months. i'm 19 years old, and i don't play any instruments but i like to sing (dunno if i'm any good, but i think i am) i am down for basically whatever, i eat hardly anything so its not like i'm always hungry either. so if theres anything else you want to know, hit me up! (and i know its the same one off my personal shit, i was lazy

Artists aren't the only ones escaping idleness. Damn I can't wait for court BS to be over with. Free bastard.

Welcome. I see you're near oceanside. Consider staying somewhere that isn't too cold unless you've been outside in the cold before and know what
you're in for. Anywhere from San Diego to SF would probably be tolerable weather-wise, anywhere inland is going to get pretty cold (if it already isn't so).
By late spring check out some far flung places you wouldn't consider staying in the winter. btw: your metabolism/appetite is going to go through the
roof when you hit the road (get used to dumpster divin'.)

hey there :] i feel the same about the whole taking things for granted. good luck C:

 

[Cristian]

thanks everyone for inviting me! and i really want to know if anyone would want to go up the coast of cali with me, we can talk about it over messaging on here or either phone! just anyone pm me your number and i am so down!

 

[Kim Chee]

Let me know when you make it to slo. I'll be there in about two weeks

 

[Cristian]

ok i will try. i REALLY need to get a pack first, i don't got shit.
any suggestions?

 

[Kim Chee]

I have a pack now, but I can't count how many times I left home with nothing but my clothes and resorted to using a restaurant fry bag to hold a couple hygiene items? You can find things
along the way or you can plan for everything from home and order a buncha shit online, go to a thrift store. Whatever, however. You probably have enough clothes on your back for the
weather you'll be encountering if you stay on the coast.

 

[Cristian]

ok, well i have a random ass big duffle bag, but idk if i want to bring that, i also have a shitty spitfire backpack, i might just use that. which one?
and what did u do for sleeping bag?

 

[Cristian]

or sleeping at the least?

 

[snot]

theres been so many times where i didnt have a pack and had to use some shity back pcak. umm if u cant fit ur sleepin bag/blanket into you back pack then just tie it on to the outside. thats always worked for me ehwn i had to star over gear wise

 

[Zorila]

thumbs up man, i started with mountain climbing and it's the best way to get started through my oppinion, also the gear that you need for the mountains is useful on the road too, so anyways, go for it...

^click on that

As for sleeping, cardboard, blankie, whatever. I don't use sleeping bags but I know just about everybody else does.

 

[soapybum]

kelty backpacks are nice, I uhh.. 'acquired' mine from Target's camping/hiking section. If you're housed up atm take advantage of that and get some good gear first.

 

[Cristian]

thanks for all the suggestions/help everyone
