rubber tramping

So I'm not really new to this site, however; I've never formally introduced myself. I'm Wesley, dirty kidd to the core, currently rubber tramping with my best friend Christine, and our two pups, Karma and Sailor Moon. We're currently in Chattanooga trying to sell a Pathfinder. So our whole kick...

You are now a lifestyle hashtag vertical marketing niche. #buzzwordcomplaint (Now, don't you feel special?) ---------------------- What began as an attempt at a simpler life quickly became a life-style brand. By Rachel Monroe Emily King and Corey Smith had been dating for five months...

For all you rubber tramps out there, what is your vehicle of choice and why? How do you afford gas?

As some of you know I've been spending the last few months bouncing between Los Angeles and Slab City. The reason being that I've been working in LA as a Postmate bike messenger. (More on that in a separate thread, eventually.) As such I've been trying out various areas of the city and with each...

Thought id share my experience of the 2017 rubber tramp rendezvous... If anyone on here wants to share your experience please do. I first heard about the rubber tramp rendezvous in the fall of 2015. It was after doing a lot of research on mobile life styles and really started checking out...

I've never jumped a train... but I'm all man! Most of my travels have been by motorcycle. I've spent a lot of time stealth camping and generally avoiding campgrounds and motels. I've slowed down on moto's and have a car I'm modifying for stealth camping and roadtrippin'... Anybody round here...

Just wondering if anyone was planning to go to this? It's in quartzite, January 10-22. http://www.cheaprvliving.com/gatherings/

By kids, I mean children. We have a 2.5year old and a 4.5month old... have been settled for a while and have acquired many other beings to take care of including goats, chickens, dogs, and a cat. We love our homestead, projects, and being mostly self-reliant, but feel trapped. The most...

Hey guys, I am a 24 year old recent college grad who entered the workforce and bailed almost immediately after 1 year to live on the road. I've dreamt of traveling the world in a vehicle I can live out of for as long as I can remember. I think it was a combination of fear, doubt, and pressure...

Hello world.

Does anyone know how Atlanta treats ruppertramps? Thinking of going there for work!

I have a very serious question, that I really hope someone here has a few answers to. It has recently become a possibility for me that I *might*, HOPEFULLY, within the next year or less, be traveling with a good friend of mine. The only issue is that she has a 1-year-old daughter. I know...

Spanging weighs heavy on the soul. Dumpster diving gets pretty gross. 2 months in the same outfit sucks, 2 months without a shower even moreso. I'm gonna try out something a little different, because while yes, I CAN survive with no money to my name...why should I? I'm coming off the road for a...

The author talks about learning the skills necessary to tramp and enjoy solitude outside cities and towns. They call it "hobo school", but I would call it "tramp school" or use their term economad. For people who like walking, biking, and other human powered transport as well as solitude, there...

So as probably few know, because I have been slacking on being social on here, sorry its not on purpose, just busy. But the wife and I have been vandwelling after selling our travel trailer, and its been the best decision ever. We love it so much more. And the modifications to make it livable...

I don't usually post these experiences here, so I'm feeling this out. Here goes. Driving down the road Sunday I started to notice my driver's side front wheel "dribbling" over every tiny bump in the road. I'd hear it bounce around on any tiny thing even a slight crack in the asphalt. I pulled...

My name is Geraldo, that's my story and I'm sticking to it. The chick with purple hair and the "I will fucking murder you" eyes in my avatar is me. That terrified-looking ball of fluff in my avatar is my dog, Cujo Jonathan Bear. I'm planning on heading out in mid to late August. I've taken off...

I got a 1998 Pontiac Grand Am with a close to rebuilt motor. I want to travel from desert of southern California up the pacific northwest this summer possibly into Canada. I never lived out of my car for more than a few days at a time does anyone got tips for traveling and living in a small 4...

Last year I got a really solid Chevy Silverado with a cap on the back and I've been spending the last few months very slowly fixing it up. It's about ready to hit the road! Just needs new tires, a minor repair to the tailpipe, and a locking t-handle so people can't get in and take my shit. I've...

About a week ago I bought a 1985 Chevy G20 Tahoe on Craigslist for about 1600. It's got 113k on the odometer, but the engine and tranny only has 15k, not in the best condition otherwise, but I bought something that needs work so I can gain the mechanical experience. Things I need to fix are...
