  • Before cloth was so insanely cheap, and used packs practically free, that was a hella multipurpose rig!

    A square of cloth is too useful to be without when you’re outdoors.

    • Strain water
    • Wipe your face
    • Wet it and wrap it around your neck
    • Wrap your neck when it’s cold
    • Tie it to a pole with your gear in it

    I have a gaiter in both my water and land bags. Sometimes two!

    Poles are handy!

    • Walking stick for tough terrain
    • Fighting other hobos
    • Carrying your handkerchief

    I carry a “spider yeetin’ stick” in the summer. Monster orb weaver blocking the trail! Wrap her and yet her in the woods. Path clear, spider unharmed.






  • Know why your time sheet is so important? You’ve signed off saying you labored X hours. Without that the state labor board can fuck your employer over.

    You don’t need a lawyer to make the call. Government labor agencies are absolute attack dogs who side with the employee claims if the employer can’t produce a signature.







  • I did this in the middle of a 5 hour drive to get on a boat to the Bahamas. Didn’t realize I needed my birth certificate (don’t have a passport). That was as close as that gf had ever been to chewing me out.

    Got my neighbor to go in and get it, send me a pic. Spent an hour on the phone getting someone at the port to print it for me. Made it on the boat!
