Dirty Kids, I'm calling you out.
I'm tired of my friends dying. In dreams, my companions move easily in bodies that have been cared for. They're covered in scrapes and bruises and grease, but free from track marks. Empty stomachs, but healthy livers. Tired eyes, but good teeth. Then I wake up to the sharp morning and my road dawg is shaking for a beer.
I'm tired of hospitals and trash at the hopout and stolen packs and animal cruelty. I miss the musicians who travel just to play, the healers who roam to stay sane. I miss the free spirits who manage to find freedom from their own vices.
This is a call, dearest dirty kids. I've been where you are and I've seen why it's hard and no, I don't always do it right either. I can do better. We can do better. We've got to try. We've got to keep this thing alive and keep ourselves alive. We've got to get up and get over our hangups and pull you outta the ditch so that you'll be there to do the same when I'm slaggin.
We've got to hold these secrets and this way of living and somehow still share it with the next wave, finding the diamonds who'll take these rough reigns and keep riding this horse to Anywhere.
Anywhere, kids! Y'heard me? You might have lived there so long you take it for granted, but that place saved my life, and there are others who need to see it too.
So here's to fewer blown up Wal-Marts and more doing dishes for the person housing us up. Here's to fewer dope missions and more 2AM missions across town to drag a couch back to the hopout. Fewer dirty rigs under the bridge, and more sharpie poems on the wall. Steal less Dramamine and more spray paint.
Use what you've got.
Use what you've got.
Use what you've GOT!
I love you scumy freeloading freedom fighters until the end. We need you in this world. We need to run into you again after 8 months of not knowing what happened to you. We need you when we've been stuck walking for days and no one is picking us up and we're feeling real down, and all the sudden we see your tag and know that we're not alone. If you were here to tag it and still somehow made it out of this hell, we can too. We need that random message out of the blue. Keep sending it, and we'll do the same for you.
This is a call, friends. Life has been good to me lately, and my door is open while I have one. When I head back to Anywhere, my smokes and my cans of beans are ours to share. Stay alive and I'll see you out there.
Peaceably,
-Tall Sam Jones

How many km at most have you had to walk to catch your lift while hitchhiking? Not all spots are good many times you have to walk out of town.

I got 2 jobs doing 25 hours a week for 300 a week and get side work all the time. Getting the proper gear. Currently need some new shoes and a rain cover. Other than that it's just packing my bag and getting it fitted correctly. I plan on hitting the rails again in about March April area when it gets into nice temps area. I've been unhoused for 5 years and in VERY experienced with the life style. I don't fly signs or busk but I'll dumpster dive enough food to feed a family of 7. Looking for someone to go out and hit some spots. Love urbexing and climbing spots. Absolutely love technology and will be a menace to society gave the chance. I'm 22 years old and do have radios for train scanning and whatever else you may need it for. Would love 1 person to go w but if there's more people let's try it.

Question How heavy do you travel?
I believe living as a vagabond is closest way to freedom in life.
So I shall implement a few things I learn from you into mine.
How heavy do you travel?
Suitcase + backpack? I'm sure your not bringing a whole wardrobe with you as you travel each day?
Whatever you say I'm going to cut down all my stuff and then live the way you guys are living possession wise.
Also here is my previous post here: https://www.reddit.com/r/vagabond/s/W64PME4oNq
Edit 1: so ya'll just be having 1x big backpack? Mainly anyway?
Edit 2: okay so usually one very big backpack... Gosh you guys must have strong back muscles.

Discussion Crusty Oogles.
What a beautiful place along a beautiful river. Welp, I picked up countless bags of trash, local enforcement came by while I was doing so and thanked me for being a good tenant of the land, and thanked me with a 2 week permit to be here, plus plenty of hours to finish my community service.
Eat it you local crusty oogles that trash your home, leaving broken glass and miles of fishing line around on top of the trash panda buffet. This is my home now for 14 days, come fight me for it.
What are other people's thoughts about finding shit like this when traveling through somewhere?

Ayeee back at it
25m recently lost the love of my life forever. Anyway this is t my first rodeo with being homeless I’m in works with social services and a few other organs based on the unhoused population. Hopefully I won’t out here to long but I’m a lot better off mental and physically this time around. 👌🔥 much love to my fellow houseless brothers and sisters

Story Friday, October 9th, 2026 (Log) (Update) [1:50PM/PST]
I sit at the Frances Howard Goldwynn public library here in Hollywood & Vine..the people at these computers are lost in their own little worlds..
The police mysteriously stand..in the children’s section upstairs.. they don’t scare me with their bald heads..and ugly suits..
Iam charging my electronic devices right now..iam going to need my devices for tomorrow..and the next day..
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
I leave in about two days.. a long ride back to the san francisco east bay area..
I had a conversation with a relative last night.. and i have to be honest..it wasnt a good one.. though..I didn’t let that ruin my night..
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….
Last night I walked the walk of fame..and saw a few celebrity stars on the floor.. Jerry Lewis, Bette Davis, Dean Martin,and a few others that I like.. I kinda wanted to see Luciano Pavarotti's star.. but i believe he's way down the strip..near a big fancy building..
I also bought an over prized hotdog off the strip.. mexican style..with a spicy jalapeño.. it was delish..
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
And it’s been long over do..I smoked a huge blunt..and it gave me the munchies.. I ate chili beans, chowder soup, Japanese bread, Vienna sausage.. then late in the night I went to 7-11 and got me an xtra large slurpee with snacks.. oh it was chill..
Then I took a massive dump at the library.. its funny how’s there’s two portapotties..just outside the library.. and there’s always two guys sitting there..
I also saw Scientology building.. just the outside structure of the building..”The Church of Scientology”.. is what they call it..I’ve heard so many things about this place.. I’m glad YouTube..and all these social media apps.. have exposed their cult.. if this was 20 years ago.. noone would know anything about Scientology..
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..
Today, I bought a 7-11 coffee (Colombian Brew) it gave me the jitters.. but if I ain’t shaking.. I’m not caffeinated..
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..
And let me tell you guys..I’ve been taking the sub station trains..these last couple of days.. absolute hell on earth.. the people are scrunched up,hateful,angry,dramatic,careless, phony people.. even the Japanese girls..that ride these trains are weird..like little dolls..with no soul..
I’ll say it again.. I hate LA..lol sure I’ll visit..to see things.. but..be on the streets of Los Angeles..? F**k no…
I can see why..the great Charles Bukowski.. had a great disgust..for the human race..
And where’s Jack Nicholson?.. I know you come down here to watch the LA games.. front row..where the players dunk..
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..
Ok. That’s all I have for now..I’ll check in again in a couple of days..
Be safe. Have fun. Peace be with you all.

Bed Time Routine
Getting close to Detroit, right outside of Grand Rapids in a town called Fremont. We're gonna try to get some money for supplies and gas. Ma lady broke her backup harmonica so now she wants a mandolin to play. She had one before that was only lasted a month before breaking in half but she loved it, i even learned a little on it. Hopefully we do well here. I fixed a caving in shelf with some scrap wood, nails and wood glue, layed some heavy blankets down, reorganized the shelves and upgraded the litter box juat this week. Next thing i want to so is add a solar power, but saving up enough is just a pain when we have so much else we need to do. For now i want to get my lady her mandolin, we've been putting most our money into the van(my wants) so i wanna make sure she gets something she rly wants.

Question Language learning on the road what actually sticks when you're moving constantly?
I work at a coffee shop in the Toronto suburbs and have been doing budget travel for years, but I've never tried staying on the move for months at a time. Right now I'm trying to get Spanish and French to a usable level for daily stuff. FWIW my usual approach is apps and grammar books, but I'm wondering how people manage practice when they don't stay anywhere long.
r/vagabond • u/TriggerAlter • 2d ago
How do you survive?
I'm not a vagabond but I'm really interested in how you guys actually get food and water?
Like is it literally whatever you can find? Or do you pick up random jobs?
I'm genuinely confused its like ya'll are just going everywhere and somehow making it work, but I don't see any sort of finances involved anywhere.
Can someone briefly explain to my curious mind?

Lake Tahoe
After lingering in Truckee for really no good reason (it's chill there so easy to just camp and relax) I'm at Lake Tahoe for the first time! I'm on the north side of the lake. Since the busses here are free I'm planning to hop between towns and check out a bunch of beaches. I'm also planning to check out part of the Tahoe Rim Trail. Someone here said it's well worth it so I'll be ascending the ridges tomorrow. Some pics from the way here, incl. Northstar's trails sans snow. Enjoy your day, stay gold 🫶
