    Rothco boots

    Hey everyone, so I passed up buying a rothco pack in favor of buying an actual gi one but I already have some rothco jungle boots. I was wondering if anyone had any opinions on how they would hold up for vagabonding. Has anyone used them? Were they okay? Should I look for something actaully gi...

    Crusty by Choice or Consequence

    "All things that come from the earth must return to the Earth" I was talking to a homebum acquaintance of mine. He'd just gotten out of jail again, (his only crime was being homeless) and was tired of Police harassment. He's literally been out there so long that all his clothing has formed...

    Good Place to Find or Commandeer Shoes

    My friends, I am having a die hard moment. My shoes are going to disintegrate at any moment. The thrift stores here are like Al Bundy, they only sell women's shoes. I really don't want to but its looking like I'm going to have to do a switcharoo from Walmart and pray I don't get nabbed. Does...

    News & Blogs Real men pack light

    I learned that traveling is not as hard as one would think. If one keeps to Transporation, Shelter, and Food (TSF) one can go farther than expected. However, I learned people pack too much (I am also guilty of this). Unless you are going to outer space or the Artic, you really don't need much...

    dressing nice while hitchhiking

    I have noticed that the nicer I look, the faster I get hitches. For a while, I only had one white shirt that quite quickly became a dirty brown shirt. The longer I traveled, the dirtier it got, and the longer it seemed to take to find a ride. I eventually ended up losing the shirt somehow (sadly...
