There is a thread back here somewhere about me being on the North Island in 2015. It was pretty lukewarm. I biked past a lot of farms and orchards and neverending fencelines, then got a job picking kiwifruit with a buncha people I never warmed up to much, stayed three months pining away for wild...

Interesting article and information on how they did it and are still doing it - especially the Update portion which explains the "$8" a day. There seem to be several of these type of "I quit my job and have been traveling for 7 years" type of articles and pics entered into "Bored Panda" but...

I've lived in my 2006 corolla S on and off, but it's about time I get something more comfortable for full timing. I can't get a whole lot out of my current car since it's a rebuilt title with problems. I've been saving up and I would like to spend between 5 -10 grand on a reliable van that will...

Greetings Rubbertrampers! I tripped over this website the other day while not looking for information about rubbertramping. I spent a few moments taking it in and thought the community might find something useful here. It is mostly information regarding vandwelling on the west coast, but...

Hey folks! So I've been on the road for a couple of weeks and am currently planning to pass the time in one(ish) spot for awhile. I've got a GMC Sierra with a camper shell on the back and currently there's no way to pass through from the cab of the truck into the camper shell, so I'm trying to...

I'm getting ready to hit the road next month. I use Frontline on my dog. Even so, I'm still worried about fleas and ticks getting into the Jeep and breeding. I picked up a couple with a dog once and had a horrible infestation afterwards. Any tips on how to minimize this? I enjoy meeting and...
