Organizing an Idea

[NoConvexity]

Go armed, and I mean heavily armed. AR-15, several glocks, maybe a .357 magnum. Maybe a dozen loaded mags and some extra boxes of ammo. And bearspray. Lot of fucking douchebags out there.

Are you that full of fear? damn. You must not get out of the house much.

What state do you live?

also if you can,look for air b&b ahead of time. cheaper than a hotel. unless your not planning to stay at one. but a walmart pkng lot is a place to stay the night for free.

goddamnit. Now I’ve gotta go to urban dictionary and type in “Eiffel Tower”.

I just looked it up. It says that a girl is supposed to be the one bent over receiving, and giving the bj. That will have to be Floyd.

I thought you were only into chicks Rick dead or otherwise, didn't realize you swung for both teams

Ya, I’m only into chicks - but Epi said the three of us are doing an Eiffel Tower. I just want to make it clear: If I was forced into an Eiffel Tower with 2 dudes, I’m not in the middle.

I've travelled all over the continental 48 States sans weapons and am somehow still alive.

When young, I used to sleep in Wal-Mart parking lots, then find a nearby campground and sneak in to take a shower and a shave. Now I use Hilton.

Stay off the interstates/freeways, as they'll all the same. I tried to stay on US Highways, which are fast but still scenic. Avoid the big cities.

Don't overplan your days, as getting lost was sometimes the best parts of the trip. Many times i simply used the sun for direction.

Don't begin with a clunker vehicle (that's just looking for trouble), but if your car breaks down during the trip, make it part of the adventure.

I learned to make my maximum daily drive five hours or 300 miles, whichever came first. More than that gets real tiring.

Last but not least, have fun and enjoy...there's nothing better than the great American roadtrip!

Take some flash lights as well. Forgot those.

People who have gone on road trips, what do you plan for? Never done so alone, it seems rather straightforward - go where I want so long as I can afford it. Right now I'm saving up money until I make my mind up, still have a few months of warm weather left. No real commitments where I live, so I could spend quite a while away from home. The job I have now I'd simply put my two weeks in and return when I'm ready, considering places with high turnover rates love people who already know their shit.

I've been thinking about buying a decent van, throwing a bed in the back and calling it good. Go hit different camping spots, do some fishing, shit like that.

This thread is open to ideas, stories, and advice.

At least 4 slabs (120 cans of beer), assorted meat, iceboxes, matches, skillet, a chainsaw, a hammer and some nails, a fishing rod (maybe a .22 for pinging) and a sleeping bag. You pull up, open a beer and watch your buddy cut down a 55ft gumtree with the chainsaw. Now you have enough firewood for 3 years. It will take a long time to dry out though so just pick up some dead dry stuff that's laying everywhere as plan B.
Play with guns and fishing rods. All you'll catch is carp so nail them to a tree as they're caught. Don't shoot waste any full cans of beer. Burn all the food on the fire, eat it anyway because when you're shitfaced drunk everything tastes like a fine dining experience. End the weekend early by falling into the fire. Drink more beer on the way to the hospital (let the stoner drive)

Go to your local humane society, adopt a fully grown full sized dog, doesn't need to be a pitbull or other super agro. Spend six month getting to know each other & bond. Bring dog on whatever trip(s) you decide to take. Doggo will be good company, provide security and you won't have to see @Rick James naked.
