    How are you doing? Happy Easter. Happy 4/20.

    Just checking in with anyone who wishes to respond. Within the past month or two I've seen a slight uptick of concern within my little corner of influence amongst travelers and rough-living folks. I've got a birthday creeping up on me so maybe I'm getting old and things just feel worse, but I...

    How do you get a free hotel room?

    Is there anyone that has a solid theory on getting hotel rooms for free? I wonder if there's a certain kind of person that puts up travelers. Is there a state they're from, or a universal way to put asking to share a room with someone you don't know, but with no hidden requirement? I feel like...

    How far can cities go to clear homeless camps? The U.S. Supreme Court will decide.

    But will they make it MORE illegal than breaking and entering to squat?

    Squatting government buildings

    In 2018 I cracked a squat in the center of the French Quarter. No crowbars, no drilling locks, no broken windows. Clean. Efficient. It's even a government building. All I had to do was get elected mayor. Shit, they've flown me first class all over the world and never even had to pay a dime or...

    What are your thoughts on shelters?

    When things are going well, people humbly enjoy their lives. When things get shitty, people quietly look out for each other. I think there’s something admirable in that. I can’t explain my whole life obviously. I got into this position due to a complex set of mistakes and misfortunes. I take...

    Gone / Sold Dan Durston X-MID One Person Ultralight Tent

    This is the original Dan Durston X-MID one person ultralight tent. Comes in original bag, never opened, never used. Been sitting in my closet for about two years, so I figure it's time to give it a new life with someone that will enjoy it. This does not come with tent poles, as it's designed to...

    Tent recommendations

    Hi, I'm looking to buy a tent for some pretty big backpacking adventures and I know exactly what I'm looking for, but can't seem to find a tent I'm 100% happy with, so I was wondering if people here had any recommendations. It needs to be completely and reliably waterproof and able to deal...

    Homeless Shelter Review

    I just wanted to give my two cents on a men's homeless shelter in Kansas City, Missouri. It's called Shelter KC and it's at 1502 Cherry St. Overall it's a decent place to stay, but beware. They like to peach the gospel a lot. In fact, you have to sit through chapel after dinner. It's mandatory...
