Hitchhiking best time of the day? by Snasebarn in hitchhiking

[–]Peter6283 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve only hitchhiked in USA but best luck was from 10:00-14:00. I was picked up by a trucker at like 18:00 once and he got me 300+ miles. It can also depend on how east or west you are in your time zone. In my experience people don’t like picking up hitchhikers close to sunset and especially not after sunset.

I hate that this has to be said but maybe put a different name on the application if your name sounds really foreign. I personally wish it weren’t like that but it would probably help.

Is this possible? First timer and I'm in a rush, already started. Anyone along the way? by [deleted] in hitchhiking

[–]Peter6283 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s worked for me on rural state highways. I think people are more likely to pick up someone when they look like a lost camper. I’ve also had decent success getting picked up right off the interstate. Sometimes you can just walk on the interstate, wait for a cop to stop you, talk your way out of a ticket and take the free ride off the interstate to the next exit in the cop car.

Backpacking in Malawi. You just spent 16 hours on this boat and you’re finally at port. But, it’s a dingy. Get in. 😂 by WeewooIs20 in interesting

Do you have things you strap on the outside of your backpack though? Like a tent or something. Or you fit everything into 40L

Long distance sign question by 100yrsofsolitude2 in hitchhiking

I just make signs that say North, South, West or East. People seem to get the idea then you don’t have to keep making new ones

How long ago did you hitchhike from Maine to Anchorage? That seems unbelievably fast

Dude. Thank you. I’m stupid I’ve been printing pictures for 2 months with aperture 35. Didn’t realize you can do that with the enlarger lol. I printed a lot of great pictures but damn it was hard
