My Introduction (1 Viewer)

[TravelingJimi]

Well here's my intro. My name is Jimi. I've been tramping for about 4 or 5 years now. I was in the army for 6 years and got addicted to traveling. So once I got out I didn't want to stop. I've been to around 11 countries and roughly 35 states. Most of my time I've been a leather tramp. I didn't start hopping freight until about 6 months ago. I got tired of hitching. I was waiting to find the right person to show me the ropes. But that didn't happen. I got really impatient. So me and my road dog (who has never hopped) decided to say fuck it. We caught out at Dunsmuir and Went south to Roseville. Right now I'm on a farm in Washington feeling itchy as fuck. I need to get back on the road/rails. So yeah thats my basic intro. Safe travels.

Yeah I was with the heard for most my time. My best time was with them. I miss jumping. Hopping freight and jumping are a lot alike. Both pack a adrenaline rush.

Fuck that lol shits changed so much. Way too p.c. now. Plus I'd have to give up the road. Lol I'm just imagining being counseled for being caught hopping freight on a weekend pass. I wish I knew about train hopping when I was stationed in germany.

Ive designed a treetent based on chain-link material.
All you need is boltcutters, a chain link fence, and a few basic hand tools.

I encourage everyone to take to the trees.

Based out of Aspen but i like to hitch all over the world.
