vagabond

Hi everyone. I thought I would give this place a try as I hate Reddit but there’s a great community of houseless people online. I’m in Cornwall, UK. Currently hobo life 5 days a week working in construction and then back to my boat on the weekends. If you are a regular visitor of r/vagabond you...

Have I been living in the god damn matrix since covid?... Where the hell is everyone, just several years back I could barely go without running into other fellow hitchhikers and train hoppers heading through town. Now it's a rarity and even shit I hear from truckers and other people I get rides...

In my yrs Iv found myself in and out of houselessness. Alot of factors have been in play here. I have desires of a homestead someday but for now I’m lead towards a bit of rambling. So I’m here to seek similar folk and maybe gain some such to travel along with or anyone willing to help me get to...

Hey y'all, Made it to Delaware planning on spending a year or so, have small campervan, incredible abandoned structures exploring here. Anyone come through feel free to connect. Kayaking is great here and drift wood plentiful to build raft and take down to sea. Had other account before, lost...

Solidary greetings to all you friends and folks on the road! While researching yesterday about the old and modern Hobo way of life in the USA, I have stumbled accidentally on this site and I am very excited to get involved in this community! Already for a couple of years I am organized in the...

The number one thing I underestimated about this life is how hard it is to keep your phone charged. My journal updates slowed to a crawl and eventually a halt, as well as anything less essential than calls, texts, and maps. Tonight I decided to go soft and get a cheap motel room, so I'm writing...

My mom called and said she's worried about me being manic, flights of fancy and all that. I had a whole trip planned out but she said a $40 motel doesn't sound safe. I am bipolar, mental health is really important to me (I have a mental health first aid certification! but it's hard to do first...

Very introverted follower, I barely ever talk to people anymore since I got dropped out of highschool looking to get a new perspective and cant think of a better time to start than now:)

Pit stop at the papitos house to put these bug nets on. Yes, they're very fucking janky but if it works it works, amirite? $6CAD exterior window netting from Canadian Tire and Gorilla tape $4CAD

When I was a kid, I remember school myths of “the hobo in the woods”, and we’d all snoop around this chainlink fence by the woods searching for this imaginary hobo, that probably never existed. Ironically, I am now that hobo. Except I’m not camped out by an elementary school. (That would be...

I found this article while lost in some internet rabbit hole during the summer. I saved it as I thought it was very good, and I was worried the site it was on would go offline, as it looked like it hadn't been updated in years. I think it will be of interest to a lot of people on this site. I've...

Has anybody bought Matt’s book an anarchists guide to travel and if so is it worth using over the Vagabond Bible 2018?

Edinburgh, the capital city of Scotland, has a population of about 500,000. It’s a perennially popular tourist attraction, with visitors drawn by the city’s dramatic architecture, its vibrant cultural life and fascinating history. The city is home to the famous Fringe Festival, loads of cool...

Waking up this morning was hard on me. I had slept half the night behind a side of a strip mall which didn't seem the local Leo's were to Keen to be watching, only to wake shivering as these drier climates have no mercy as they can be hot as hell in the daytime but cold as an iceberg before the...

The Night I Brought Home A Homeless Stranger (A Squat The Planet Exclusive Adventure!) I had just started my Sunday night shift as a city bus driver in St. Paul, MN. It was a cold January night in the New Year 2020 with some snow flurries falling. The night was a little busier than usual...

Dear People of StP, Howdy! My name's Aidan, and I'm new in town. On a more serious note, it really is a pleasure to be a part of the forum. I was looking around for stuff about squatting, and I happened to stumble upon this website. The resources section led me to r/vagabond as well...

Last summer I was practicing hand drill (primitive friction fire for you lubbers) while we were doin a yard sale and an old guy came over, asked me what I was doing and introduced hisself - Greg May, former teacher of the WSU wilderness survival program. I saw him around the rest of the summer...

Hi, I’m new here. I’m looking for advice on where the best places to jump a train from Colorado to Seattle? And crust squats in Seattle? My ex (11 years) said everything has changed there, and all my old crust punk friends have moved. Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks
