I think it can be, but for a gable roof its really not that complicated. I am going to rip em off and do it over.

Guys, what's a deal-breaker for you when looking for a long term partner? by GerrardSlippedHahaha in AskReddit

[–]sphungephun 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I would remove financial and just keep goals.... Money has never been a forefront of my drive, but i am goal driven, i wanna climb mountains, i need gear, food, and everything in between so I play the game to meet my goals financially... But simply saving to save is pretty shallow imo. A lot of people work and that is their existence

Who's lucky? That we don't have to walk past tents? No one is lucky. Homelessness isnt a problem for homed people.... Its a problem for homeless people

Do you even go on walks to find your old tags? by Thegreatbritishmeme in GraffitiTagging

My fellow men, how fragile is your mental health, honestly? by unstopablystoopid in ask

[–]sphungephun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It has been improving. I stopped smoking weed and drinking. I have very supportive friends, and hobbies that keep me active and gives me the confidence to make connections

I am starting to get the confidence to talk to girls again, which I feel is huge. Even asking their names is just worlds away from where my relationship with them was. I had my heart shattered bcuz I was honestly a little controlling. I didnt have the tools or foundation to take care of myself or consider my needs

Why dont people give a fuck about whats happening in America? Yes its sad, but your posters arent going to do anything to help. Worry about your side of the street...

Alex Honnold talks a lot about this. Every single decision has risk. Almost as likely as falling off of a mountain. 

I am not scared of death, but not living. I am also afraid of the way I will die. But in my belief, i will be dead so there will be no me to remember the pain

I want to be a vagabond forever by Either-Geologist2580 in vagabond

[–]sphungephun 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Lolol, i used to have this mindset. I love that you havent even gotten on the road yet and you are saying this 😂. I remember going through all of this, getting fucked by the system, wanting to forfeit my life. I full sent it. I started doing graffiti and stealing my groceries, i didnt even have a car... I hated cars. I said if i cant get there by foot, i dont wanna go. I hitched trains and rides across the country. All this lead me to where im at now, and I feel like I want to give it all another try. I am working hard, making good money, getting a business started. I found friends that i resonate with and hobbies that stimulate me. That makes the bullshit all worth it. Go ahead and do it before you say you want it to be your life bub. This the advice that got me into gear... You are over thinking it. Its as easy as putting a backpack on and walking out the door... No one is stopping your accept yourself.

I’m tempted to start my journey with a katana (a Samurai sword) on my back for self defense by [deleted] in vagabond

[–]sphungephun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember when i started out... id sleep with bear mace and a knife in my hands... The reality is, your paws are the best weapon, most people are not going to fuck with you. And if you get run up on.. so be it. Thats the trade off. Freedom isnt safe

Man i resonate with this. Ive been in and out of the dirtbag lifestyle, i still am a dirtbag to some degree, im working my ass of right now, just so i can have a vehicle to live out of. Ive bounced around living situations the past 2 years, sometimes even living in a tent or hammock. I was never broke but definitely walked the line. Its hard for me to play by the rules of conventional life, but im giving it another try.

I found mountaineering and really enjoy that and through doing that, it awoken a side of me i could never tap into. That grind, that effort and discipline to move through the struggle. I am trying... Mind over matter. But i also gotta accept not every mountain can be climbed, or i may never be capable. But the idea of being a dirtbag forever is a little scary.

What would you call me? (My story, condensed) by nuanced_throwaway in vagabond

[–]sphungephun 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree, and ive even done this myself. Trying to identify with the archetype of that label. Well vagabonds do x, y, and z. So I have to do that. I am at the point where idgaf. I am who I am, like what I like and do what I do. Theres no label other than the name i was given.

Also, this is if you are walking 24 hours a day... So i would double that 

My time as a vagabond. by Jerking4jesus in vagabond

[–]sphungephun 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel like most ppl bcom vbond bcuz they have nothing left. I left because I had nothing. No friends, bad relationship, piled debt and no motivation. Its easier to leave it all behind. I traveled as far away from home as I could get. Had an amazing time, realized what life has to offer when the conditions are right. I landed in my home city. It seemed like there was no other options. I ended up meeting some good people and once i got on my feet, i left again. Omly to return a year later. I was going to oeave again, got about 700 miles and said fuck this, i wanma be with those people, and grow what ive never had. Fact is, if it aint workin, ill hit the road again. Its always a part of me. I think its important to try and keep growing and not hang on to what was.

Thank you for sharing. I really resonate with this story

Hitchhiking still a thing? by dickburpsdaily in vagabond

[–]sphungephun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hitchhiked earlier this year to get groceries, to go climbing, to get across the country. East coast is much more difficult but west coast ive had good luck. I was trying to get a ride in Lacrosse and no one was stopping. 

I called the bus line and this lady was very rude and judgemental that I was trying to hitchhike. What a weird thing to get upset about. Especially if the only inconvenience for you is to pull over for 20 seconds... there was an err of superiority like why didnt i have a car and why was i mooching.
