    Seems like I may be squatting in the wilds of Massachusetts this winter. The house is in good condition, but I've lived through Massachusetts winters and now how cruel they can be.

    Winter Camp

    It is completed, or set up at least. I'll see how it holds up, it's supposed to rain the next couple of days. I've also established a fire pit for cooking and found an old dishwasher off the tracks and I hollowed it out to become a stove. It is an ideal spot in relation to water sources (ponds...

    Packing for winter

    What do you guys take with you for winter? How does it compare to what you take any other time of year? I'm currently in southeast Georgia, and I want to go west along the southern states all the way to California. I'll be walking/hitching most of the way, but I want to train hop at some point.
