I researched this method to waterproof shoes and boots, but I see no reason this couldn't work on any fabric/canvas gear. I think this makes things more water resistant than proof, but whatever works is what I say. In this example, let's use shoes. Get yourself some beeswax. You can find it...

If needed should you ever leave your pack anywhere, and if so, where? For example you need to enter a gas station, restaurant, supermarket, music venue, etc. but they won't allow you to enter with your pack. I personally haven't encountered it before but I do get a lot of looks. I'm about to...

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...

Well it looks like I will be in a wheelchair before the end of my journey. So I'm going to have to think carefully about what I take with me. So I was just wondering some general advice on the best way to lash gear to the back or bottom of a chair And also what gear might be important to have...

I'm not very good at sleeping outside and have been freezing to death, but I've found a solution for cheap. You can buy 40lb bags of Kimmel brand anthracite coal from tractor supply for 6$ (or take it out of a train). Its hard to get started but once it goes it kicks out insane heat and lasts a...

On a rainier day a while back I was having real trouble getting a proper cooking fire going. All material was pretty wet and so was the ground. I had a copper cup i took from a bar that is used to drink cold whiskey mules. I had been using the cup as an ashtray for a while so ruining the cup...

I was wondering if you all had any advice in the waterproofing gear department. Like something I can use on the road while I'm traveling to put on my jacket, pants, boots, etc. My gear is getting old and just wondering what you all use to keep your stuff dry. I hate spending days drying out my...

Been going to a buncha rural auctions with the fam on my days off. It's fun and I have seen opportunities to get cheap gear. The auctioneer just wants RID of the stuff and it goes super cheap. Case in point , the sweet Stanley thermos I got for FOUR FUCKING DOLL HAIRS! I thought it was...
