It’s definitely not completely accurate since I last tried using it in 2022

Name is Dusty but most know me as Preacher. Long story short my wife and I where headed to Lake Havasu from AJ east of Phoenix, to drop off our oldest son at his home. Broke down in Vicksburgh at Pilot truck stop. Been 5 days trying to repair. Friend came and got he oldest home and took youngest back home to his sis, who's babysitting. We thought we would be back next day. All funds gone 4 repairs on electrical system and a still stuck. Finances gone, mostly food and drinks..couple bills on parts. We want a shower. Some nice lady brought my love and outfit anf me a clean shirt. We are tapped..Can anyone help..will they help? We got towed down the road to help but there was no help there. Let me use tools for cost and park in lot , which I had no choice for a price. Please. One shower we can share. They call it a coupels shower I believe they said.

It’s about to get cold, and that can be really difficult to endure without the right gear. I’m on the front range in Colorado, and I have some cold weather clothing that needs a new home. Socks, shirts, jackets, boots, a pack, etc.. If you are in the area and need any of this stuff, let me know

Decided it's time to live a little and get the fuck away from the same old nonsense. Got myself all the gear I need, but anyone got any experience walking/hitching down the 101 or 1? I've always been in the same place so any advice about getting by in north cali and what people are like to dirty travelers or just general tips would be much appreciated, peace and love ❤️

I’m based in northern Sweden and want to try a bit of train hopping around here, maybe even cross a border or two. If anyone’s got experience with train hopping in Sweden or Scandinavia, I’d love to hear any advice on what to expect. I’m especially curious about how strict the authorities might be around the borders and any advice on keeping a low profile while still traveling freely.

I'm in farmington new mexico trying to get to Ohio if anybody is in the area and could help with a ride please reach out

Hello, I'm currently stranded in Gilroy California but I live in Lawton Oklahoma. I have absolutely no money and need to get home. Anyone have any advice on how I can get home? Any suggestions help

I'm thinking of buying a hunting jacket and pants for this winter. They're waterproof, windproof, supposed to be warm, and they're basically made for spending a lot of time outside. Are they good options?

My girlfriend and I just got back in to Oklahoma City after a 2 day greyhound from San Diego. We just spent all summer doing the California rehab thing and we have nothing but a couple of bags of clothes and $350-400 to our name. We're going to be out on the street basically all of November and I need to figure out

1. how to efficiently spend the $350-400 on the essentials for homelessness that can't be picked up somewhere else for free (i.e. church or homeless resources)
2. Ideas where to stay to keep from freezing in November and
3. Best OKC homeless resources like shelters, winter clothing, and specifically stuff like sleeping bags and backpacks.

Been on the trail and on this subreddit long enough, feel like this is overdue. Hope to see y'all around. Just don't stab me plz. I bite when cornered Miss my other patches, but I'll get new ones. The other ones were on a vest that someone stole. Made me very angry because they were personal momentos, but I'll get more patches

Got a dog trailer for 80€ and now I dont have to stuff shit into bags anymore. Just throw it in and go. Still stuck in Basel, but weather is way better then in September where it wad raining 24/7 😅now I want to ride to Marseille, anyone else there? Anyway take it easy like Huxley once said. if you force too much it wont be good for anyone, were here to love each other and observe existence. au revoir 💋je taime with ur petit mustache

Is train riding much more popular now

I've been on the road for a while now, usually hitchhiking but I got the opportunity to take a greyhound to a city the other day (it really sucks) I got the ticket for free from a shelter I stayed in to wash my clothes and take a shower for a couple days. Problem is, the day I left was hectic and the taxi pulled up a lot sooner than I thought and I couldn't grab my sleeping bag. Now I've heard of churches giving away bags and packs sometimes, is there any way to find out where I can get one? I'm legit flat broke and don't want to panhandle because I hate asking for money like that (where's one of those youtubers when you need them)

I'd also appreciate some tips on where to sleep. I'm a lot more comfortable in small towns, I feel so lost here. I was just going to roll right through to a town I actually know, but it's already getting pretty late and really don't want to hitch in the dark for obvious reasons.

Update: last night it rained and I spent the whole night under a rain poncho, hardly got any sleep. Was hanging out at the mall and a woman whos a deacon at a church let me know that methodist churches usually help people out, I went to one and they gave me some fruit (praise the gods) which I've been craving, and a decent enough sleeping bag. Someone else also stopped and gave me a bit of money so I bought myself a coffee and I'm getting the hell out of here today. It's been one of the greatest days I've had in a while, the sun is shining and my gears finally dry. Safe travels everyone!

It works for other passport holders too with different countries. thought it might be useful for someone. done it for years

"Citizens of the United States of America can take advantage of bilateral visa-waiver agreements with several EU countries. These arrangements allow US passport holders to stay for a specified period beyond the 90-day Schengen limit.

The Schengen Area nations with bilateral visa-waiver reciprocal agreements with the US are listed below along with the maximum permitted length of stay in each case:

Belgium (3 months) Denmark (3 months) Italy (3 months) Hungary (90 days)* Portugal (60 days)* Spain (90 days)* France (90 days) Latvia (90 days in half a year)* The Netherlands (90 days)* A Schengen-associated country with a bilateral agreement:

Norway (90 days) *Only ordinary passports are permitted

US passport holders who take advantage of one of these visa waiver bilateral agreements must exit the Schengen Area from that EU nation. On departure, it is necessary to fly directly to a third country or transit to a non-Schengen airport.

In addition, US travelers are required to remain in that particular EU Member State, it is not possible to move freely around Europe under the bilateral agreements. To do so, they will need an ETIAS instead."

42 and Im absolutely tired of doing the corporate thing. I'm wrecked with depression and anxiety. I work jobs for 6 months, get tired of it and quit. Haven't worked in two months and went through the money I had. Now I'm subsisting on selling what little I have left of value and selling plasma. Rent was due a few days ago and the landlord seems hell bent on getting me out and has shut off my AC. No notice to vacate, no eviction. This is the first month I missed. Feeling like I'm going to leave one of these days and my stuff is going to be outside when I get back. Ruined my chance at a job today because the bus was late and I missed my transfer. I think it's getting to be time for me to hit the road. I see all the posts saying it's best to go to Jacksonville. However that's not really an option. Thinking about heading to Southern Indiana to handle an old misdemeanor warrant stopping me from getting my license for the past 20 years. But jail sucks. So who knows. Saw there was a train yard by the sand lake sun rail station in Orlando. Anyone have experience here or have any advice or wanting to buddy up? I'm on borrowed time.

Dropped out year ago. Found you guys six months ago. Over the summer, I decided I was gonna do it. Spent a few weeks on a road trip, and yesterday was my first night out of a backpack.

I can’t believe how much happens in a day out here. It feels like it’s been a week. It feels like there’s never been anything else.

Grateful to this sub for having as many words of encouragement as my friends and fam had words of caution. For helping me keep the spark alive while I worked up the nerve.

See you all out there.
