howdy ya'll i aint on here as much anymore because i dont have a computer and dont much get on em.been doing a lot of camping and a few some hiking on the AT. i moved out of my rents place to an apartment a few months after i graduated but im headed out april first with a buddy we are road tripping on foot. Going to be hitch hiking and trainhopping  >:D and a lot of walking. Wilderness and urban survival. My roadtrip last year wasnt...as long as planned but with me goin with my as adventurous friend the trip will be way longer. trainhopping is so much like hunting, gotta wait hours or days for that good train that you know will take you far and not stop within a couple miles. theres a lot of sign to be read as in hunting and a lot of outside time. But with this ill be outside 24/7 sleeping under bridges and whatever woods we can find. we are going to try to find farm work and side jobs and whatever we can. then in september ill be headed to alaska to work at a lodge with my pops predatorcaller. Ive been chipping out a vagabound/rambler lifestyle for myself. at my apartment, which i move out of in two weeks to head out, i sleep outside. been in closed houses for too long. aint slept in a house for 2 months! haha.  take care all, a few pics are from an overnighter on the AT me and predatorcaller did

NTD:
I'm sure you'll learn a lot of valuable lessons on this adventure.  Stay safe and enjoy.  When you hit a library or something be sure to check in with us ;)

Pat B:
Sounds like quite the adventure. Not many young folks would even think about such a trip much less give it a try. Be safe and keep us posted if you can. Public libraries have free computer service so if you find yourself near one, let us know how your adventure is going. You might even consider keeping a diary and maybe writing a story for PA magazine.
   Bon voyage!      Pat

Nate, we think too much alike!  :D

NTD:
Yeah I guess so Pat ;)  When I first came to the Southwest I spent 6 months camping in the Gila National Forest.  We let family know we were still alive when we could make it to the library. 

HunterTrapper,
I think one of the most interesting things you will find is the people you will meet along the way and the stories they will have to share.  Pat's idea of a diary would be a great way to record some of those.  There is a certain amount of freedom in those adventures that I really do miss....

huntertrapper:
oh yes i will. and yes sir i got a little tablet to take with me. NTD i agree meeting different people is awesome
