i still want to know if OP has ever traveled with a gun. and if not, would he have carried? maybe a tazer/stun-gun, hunting knife, Bear spray in lieu of guns...
blade yes.. Never a gun. Considered it. But also have to way options. Traveling illegal with a loaded firearm is pretty hard to talk your way out of.
You know I've really never had problems with fellow travelers.. Generally a peaceful "urban hippie" type Its the everyday joe I really am worried about nowadays..
Seems like fun. But honestly, all the "Dirty Kids / Crust Punks" these days annoy the hell out of me. And I don't think I could live without internet or showers. >.>
were all not dirty/crust punks.. Of course there's goin to be some grime expected jumpin on a nasty ass train. Covered in grease and whatevers blown from the cars ahead. I'm a normal dude. Heavily tattoo'd But you never guess I'd had lived on the streets when I was. Some people are just dirty. But yea crust punks can be annoying. Give's us hobo's a bad name. Like hippies did for pot...
I got a buddy been hoppin all his life till his wife passed, he left the area bout 3 yrs ago, never heard from him since.. he had some great stories... ive riddden 30 or 40 miles and then hopped another backk home, but just for fun.. if yer prepared it could be a good ass time... one bud at a time
a lot of hoppers end up out your way for some reason. That's cool you did a jump before. Major f'n hardon right?
Hell ya, fun as fuck.. once yer settled and adrenaline fades its quite relaxing.. you dont even realize there trains out there.. we get alot of riders at the old tressel camping.. some neat signs on the old concrete, sad ones too.. they go back alot of years.. if i was still a dirtbike guy id go get some pics, this old man couldnt handle it nowadays.. one bud at a time
I'm actually considering doin a jump next year with my old lady. I've only stopped jumping for the past 2 yrs. Was headed cross country from nyc. Got stuck in chicago. And never left. Sucks to was looking forward to the trip from chicago to oregon. Jus got tired man. Had already been goin for yrs...
This is pretty epic, I def know at some point in my life I'll do this. Esp being in NJ cause fuck this place!
Don't start with that anima abuse shit. Don't get me wrong I love animals, but that just ain't abuse.
Best place to do this? Im still kinda young (18) and definitely want to do this in my lifetime im skeptical if it is even still possible due to changing times. Did you ever get found and thrown of or something? I think its pretty harmless to just catch a ride like that it would be a great experience in my opinion. Any knowledge you have I would greatly appreciate it. Sent from my SGH-T889 using Grasscity Forum mobile app
