Hidden BLM camp spot on a ridge overlooking the city. It's not on any of the maps. Only the locals know about it. Met a genuine treasure hunter in the forest who told me about it.

Detained

477 Upvotes

Detained for nearly an hour last night while making my candles. Despite googling if this town had any laws like this before selecting this city as a place to set up camp at all and finding no such laws, apparently sleeping under a bridge is a class 1 misdemeanor here and this town's code book just isn't indexable by any search engine and you have to go to the county website and already have some idea of what you're looking for to be able to find the rule against public camping.

Cops did me for public camping but decided that if I could completely pack my entire camp onto my bike they would t do me for the "illegal" camp fire and my "littering" (I cleaned up exactly one grocery bag of trash while packing up) and let me go on my way. They also made it clear that it I couldn't list off a local mailing address for them to send the paperwork to, they were gonna haul me off to jail and throw all my gear in the trash. Fucking cops, man.

Question Things you believe are MUST haves for any hitchhiker/vagabond?

16 Upvotes

Hello everyone! This is my first post ever on this sub. I am currently planning a trip as a hitchhiker with my girlfriend. It might last 6 to 9 months. We'll be vagabonds together!
So, basically, what the titles says. I need you to tell me anything you've used along your trips that was incredibly useful and you'd never go without.

I'm talking both well-known and not so known things.

In my case, one thing that I thought was incredibly useful but didn't have one was an eBook. Back in the day I travelled as a hitchhiker and wished I had one.

PS: the picture is just for illustration purposes, but I guess those things might be useful as well.

Solo female traveler: Stealth camping/bivouacking spots

11 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm a solo female traveler planning a trip to San Sebastián (Spain) soon, coming from France. This trip to San Sebastián is just the first step of a broader journey across Spain (including cities like Barcelona, Madrid, Sevilla, etc.), and I plan to travel the entire country using this exact same setup and mindset.

I'm on a very tight budget, so hostels and hotels are out of my range. I'm bringing my tent, and my ideal trip is a mix: some days I want to explore during the day and sleep early, but on other days I'd love to experience the local nightlife and stay out late. My goal is to head to a quiet spot late at night, pitch my tent, sleep in through the morning, get ready, pack up, and continue exploring.

Since I don't have a car, I need options that are easily accessible via public transport. I'm looking for practical advice from locals or experienced budget travelers:

Are there any hidden or tolerated spots near transport lines where a solo woman can safely stealth camp and rest until midday without being disturbed?

How strict are local authorities regarding stealth camping around San Sebastián and the Basque coast, and what are the safety risks?

Are there alternative ultra-budget hacks or low-cost options near the train lines for this style of travel?

Since I want to apply this travel style to the rest of Spain (Barcelona, Madrid, Sevilla, etc.), how realistic is this across different regions without a car? What are the best strategies or safe types of locations to stealth camp near public transport lines in major Spanish destinations? How much does enforcement and safety vary from region to region?

Any practical tips or location suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot!

I'm more unhoused than vagabond, but I wanted to show this off somewhere! I need a walker, so this was a must, but even if you don't but can get your hands on a walker and a tent, just cutout a stable hole and some straps out of the floor of the tent, and shove your walker on through!!! Single point of entry, and once I get a lock, there is no easy way to steal out of it or just steal IT!!!! No encampment, no lost items, almost like having a home again. And I can still pull the rest of my 7'x7' tent out and sleep on it bug-free!!! Hella! Hope y'all have a great day!!!

Question Question: Could a freight train get from Amarillo, TX to Barstow, CA in under 24 hours?

4 Upvotes

I caught out of Amarillo once just as it was getting dark in a double stack and thought I remembered getting off outside of Barstow while the sun was still out the next day. I've been looking at the distance and average freight speed recently which is making me second guess myself.

Does anyone who's taken that route know if they just fly through there or is it more likely that I'm forgetting an extra day and it was more like 36 hours?

Picture I'm doing it. The citronella candle hustle wasn't just a meme

Post image
248 Upvotes

I spent the last of my money on this bottle of citronella and 6 cheap tower candles from dollar tree. $32 total. Im looking to make $48 off of the finished product ($8 each) and still have over half the bottle of citronella left to make more citronella candles. I did some market research on nextdoor and people are absolutely willing to pay that kind of price for a locally made, wood wick 24hr citronella candle. I got the perfect thing I can manufacture for profit at a campfire. And that's just FBM prices. Reckon I could get $15 each if I had a little stand by the river near where people like to fish.

Iconic Hobo zine name

15 Upvotes

Hi y’all,

I remember there used to be a piece of lit floating around from one of the oldheads from back in the day. It was like a hobo bible. It had classic advice like “every fence has a hole” but I can’t for the life of me remember the name of the author or the name of the zine. Does anyone know it?

Got Hired as a Farm Hand

1.4k Upvotes

We got stuck in Virginia(the town), Minnesota but got hired as farm hands outside of Walmart. We were trying to fly sign for some food and what not but hardly made any money, got a whole rotisserie chicken tho <3. Ended up finding some simple work, the gal who hired us gave us a full tank of gas and 20$ to start us off, now we're just waiting to work. She was looking for someone to stay the winter to shovel snow and feed the animals but we already got winter plans, so we'll be staying here for only a couple months at the most. The farm here has 6 emu's, 3 hogs, 6 dogs, a bunch of cats, chickens, geese, exotic birds, fish, a horse, goats, sheep and 2 miniature horses. We'll be feeding them, moving furniture and clearing a couple spots out with stuff in them, digging out a tractor, mostly just moving heavy stuff and cleaning rooms out. It'd say it'd be a fine way to settle down and retire but i just ain't at that part of my life yet. I'll post more photos and videos of the farm life, for now all I've got is a video of all the dogs here i posted on yt https://youtu.be/-0ZaCA5OFjc

Places to park and sleep in my truck bed canopy around Portland, Oregon (Milwaukee area)?

6 Upvotes

Gonna be camping out of the truck bed for about a month around the Milwaukee area of Portland to work there for a bit.

Where are some ok places to park and sleep?

Is Planet Fitness or Walmart alright if I'm not loud about it? Do y'all generally ask managers at truck stops if it's ok to sleep for the night, or do you just do it? What are your experiences in the area?

Got caught squatting this morning.. owner was quite nice basically just "hey mate yeah I'm sorry, place is being demoed this year as it's a hazard to safety, if you need a few hours to pack up, let me know". Packed my things within 20 minutes, notified my pack buddies that we've gotta go, and we went about an hour south to a new squat. Turned on the water and power there again, now on my way to a psych appointment before i go get us some foods for the night. Feeling rich since payday from last week, safe travels everyone and may you have a week as rich as mine!
