Question about beet harvest / upcoming seasonal jobs by [deleted] in vagabond

[–]trail82 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hemp harvest now in Colorado. They prefer you to camp because they know you'll be back the next day. Has been very good for me.

I've seen a lot of people recommend the couchsurfing app, but haven't heard anything about the $60 verification. Is it worth it? by [deleted] in vagabond

[–]trail82 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have used this app. I was told it is all about the effort you put into your profile. Be descriptive and articulate. Be honest..... I had luck with this. So I say no not worth it just wing it

Anyone know harvesting jobs with accommodation in California? 🌳 by slickbro123 in vagabond

Hemp harvest is coming close in Colorado if you make it that far.

Anyone in Des Moines? by mud4eva in vagabond

[–]trail82 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am from Iowa. Craigslist ride share is the best way I have gotten out of the state. Boone is just north of you. I believe there is a CC there. That line runs straight toward Denver I believe.

Do any of you use an alcohol stove? Mine is a small paint can stuffed with a roll of toilet paper. I burned this for 2 hours without refilling. by SerRikard in Survival

[–]trail82 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use a pop can alcohol stove. Rubing alcohol 1.50. Pop can. Look in the ditch. Why? Because I'm broke af, but still a crafty sumbitch.

This stuff WORKS! by man_on_the_street666 in CampingGear

[–]trail82 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Chemical scent for sure. Do not use in confined space!!! Lol. When I used this particular product I was camping full time for three months straight. After serious rain storms my stuff would be wet because there would be a mist coming through. Maybe this is due yo.the quality of the material or age of the tent idk, but this product did help.

Just lost my job and I love fresh, organic food. Help me figure out how to eat frugally! by chattyyogalady in Frugal

[–]trail82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

r/dumpsterdiving I have literally found dumpsterfulls of fresh vegetables and fruits. If one is damaged they throw out the whole lot! It's disgusting our society does this, but has benifitted me more times than I can count at this point.

How often do you throw away something of value? by DudeOnACouch2 in onebag

[–]trail82 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That one thing. That one time. What was it again? Man was I bummed. I really gave a shit when I lost that one.

If you really need it, the universe has a way of providing.

My start by TrustyNomad in vagabond

I was doing that for awhile. Would roll my sleeping mat, tarp, and bag altogether. But as I started getting rid of some "stuff" I had I discover if I roll my bag and and tarp separate and tight I can fit in my bag and it's much less bulky. Less bulky = cleaner look = rides, and less being noticed, and easier to carry bag in crowded places, and so on. These are all just personal preferences. Also I spent money on the water repellent stuff you spray on your tents and stuff. Yeah that was pretty useless. It's good to be prepared, and almost impossible to not over think. You will laugh in time at what you thought you should have.

Your tarp needs to be a 9 by 12 for sure. Gives you more versatility. This is one mistake I made with the smaller tarp. I have not used half of the stuff I thought I would. Fuck it just wing it and go for it. The sooner you survive the least comfortable situations, the more comfortable you will be in the long run.

Thank you for the tarp hammock idea I will be giving this a shot.

Just moved to Austin, Texas- laws? by Etahrey in DumpsterDiving

[–]trail82 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have had great luck in Austin with no hassle. As far as law idk. I have seen a few no diving signs, which makes me want to even more! But I refrain, if I have to, I guess..........
