But I'm not above mooching or straight up begging. I'll be depending mostly on Couch Surfing for finding places to stay, but getting from place to place and having food to eat and so on is going to really make or break the trip.
Items
Any and every dollar I can save extends my trip a little bit longer. So if you'd like to help me out with any of the following items, it'd help me stay on the road longer, help me get to where I want to go, keep me from starving/running out of gas in the middle of nowhere, etc.I'm not above taking hand-outs for:
- Any meals or drinks, whether bought or cooked
- A bag of groceries/snacks/drinks
- A tank of gas (or any fraction of a tank of gas)
- Entry into any event or location I/we might go to
- Guest/day passes to gyms so I can squeeze in workouts here and there
- A couch or an extra bed that I can sleep in/a place to keep my stuff for 1-3ish days
- Seriously ... anything that costs a few bucks. If I can save those few bucks I can use them later to do other cool things.
Side-note: I am completely open to and willing to help with work and/or do odd jobs in trade for the above items or cash. Not so into the idea of getting jobs at fast food restaurants for two weeks at a time, but definitely open to helping people move, yard work, house work—or completely different things. Getting things done.
Activities
While I'm on the road I'm interested in doing/seeing a wide variety of things. I'm an outdoorsy person with a deep appreciation for nature, so a lot of my spots of interest will be parks and such. But I'm an eclectic mix of barefoot weirdo primitive skills enthusiast, metalhead, meathead/bro, archer ... and a lot of other things too, I suppose. I'd be interested in checking out, or joining others, for these kind of things, and more.- National/state/local parks
- Camping/backpacking
- Just hiking and exploring areas for day trips
- Rewilding/primitive skills workshops, gatherings, or events
- Archery events
- Metal, hardcore, or punk shows
- "Ninja" gyms
- Outdoor (or indoor) calisthenics gyms
- Again, guest/day passes to any other kind of commercial gym
- Anything cool. Really. Tell me about new things. Tell me about things I might never have thought of. Especially if it's free, I'll probably want to check it out.
Donate
A couple friends floated the idea of a GoFundMe (or similar), but I decided I didn't want to go that route. But hey, if you want to send me a couple bucks via PayPal or some other way, feel free. Every dollar will be greatly appreciated!
(I think if you send money as a gift PayPal doesn't take any percentage of it. But the button is here just because it's easy.)
