that's what you say to someone who is studying for his circus academy entrance exam and just quite can't get the hang of juggling.

OP already can reject people and he can attract them by being too nice. He just needs to find the balance in the middle. Nothing too crazy. Just practicing stuff he already knows.

 

i wish this was true. all my life i have rejected people and they simply don't give a fuck and try to connect with me further. it just doesn't work. i've said no to gay dudes (who also pretended to be blind to the face that i was not interested in gay dudes) wanted to go on vacation to me and when i said no he just would not stahp and say "yeees" every time i said no.

 

you know how there are flames that you can just sprinkle a bit of water on and then they turn out? there are also these flames that you can't just drown in water.

 

it seems like the better i get a communication, the bigger the percentage of time grows that i have to waste on rejection because after a certain level of connection, people feel so alive all of the sudden that they simply do not want the feeling to end and can not give a fuck if it is mutual. i guess talking to people can be kind of a drug, which i've never felt. i've never allowed outside influence to outshine me so bright that i turn into a moth. that's that group mentality sickness i believe. that's the kind of incompleteness only the seldom discussed disadvantages of group think can foster in a person.

"huh? what do you mean, just say no. just be assertive and then that's that. other people can not legally rob you without your consent."

 

(that's what people say who have yet to understand the possible depth of human interaction)

"sometimes people are annoying but it is not a big deal. it's not like this makes it impossible to interact with people. just say no and then when they try to hug you against your will just grab their hands before they can and turn it into a dance."

 

(that's what people say who have seen enough to understand the size of the iceberg underneath the surface)

(now that's someone who has come so far that he has to spend around half the time of explaining why now is not a good time. people from the first pie chart do not even acknowledge this level exists)

(this is for when your mere presence makes people laugh and smile. what fools believe symmetry triggers in people but doesn't. if you've ever been known as the funny guy in school then you kind of understand that this level has to exist. this is for when every information they can gather from you is a colorful delight in their otherwise gray and boring life. basically every word of your mouth has to be some form of rejection and every so often you can say something of quality but the rejection of everything has to be a constant stream; a never ending task of saying no because that's the amount of no necessary to keep someone at bay who is hellbent on not accepting rejection)

 

"is just shit. people are so broken, they turn into stalkers. basically a socially enacted tax on individuals that is embedded in the human cultures... no i can't stay for dinner sorry i have an appointment"

drove to an interesting store yesterday. i was looking for one of those new foldable sinks made from palstic and in the store i visited there was this overweight mother who had a shopping cart full of soda. 200 bottles of differnt kinds of soda maybe. this must have been a nightmare to check out for the cashier. her 2 kids were also fat. reminds me of that time where i was shopping in a small super market and i saw a very fat person andin the shopping cart all the fatty had was cups of pudding and joghurt and butter. nothing but dairy.

 

the sink was out of stock unfortunately.

why do you need a foldable sink?

why do you need a foldable sink?

 

currently i wash my hands with a spray bottle over sewer-gates on the street. i don't have a sink in the van that can drain, only a bucket. whenever i want to wash hands, i go out of the van, look around for a sewer gate/rain gutter and wash my hands over it while the local people stare stupidly because they have never seen someone do that. the foldable sink is just a bucket with a little drain at the bottom. if it turns out to be impractical, i can still use it to wash fruit.

How often do you shit in the bucket?

 

i have a little foldable toilet seat. imagine a simple folding chair without backrest but instead of a regular seat, it is a toilet seat. i put a trash bag inside, poop in it, throw the toilet paper in, tie a knot in it and throw it in the public trash can where people throw their little bags of dog poo in.

 

(and then i use the leaf blower to change the air out of the van ^^)

1. dry poop on the top of the van

2. use dried poop as green fuel for campfire

3. get govt funding for your green solution

4. ???

5. PROFIT

 

some people have these little cubic mini stoves inside their vans and make little wood fires inside. that'd be pretty cool. if i burned poop then the whole surrounding would smell like a toilet.

 

i'd love to do something with the roof. in my dream i would have a little submarine exit. meaning i could climb out and lay on top of the roof and sunbathe or stargaze. solar on the roof would also be nice. a roof fan would be very helpful because i don't have a window inside so this would help get fresh air or get moist air out. also i would love to collect rain water from the roof.

what the fuck

Chris McCandless, is that you?

 

 

i didn't know who that was. i try to be somewhat nomadic but it is a slow process because i am so used to being in a big city. like a chicken released from the factory farm, somewhat unable to cope with life outside the factory.

What if Christopher McCandless was a Nascar driver?

 

Christopher McCandless sets off, from California in an old car he rebuilt himself (he replaced the fenders and painted it), on a trip to the Daytona 500. He only gets across the state line when he runs out of fuel because he forgot to fill it up. Instead of simply walking to the nearest gas station or flagging down help he decides to push his car over an embankment and set it on fire. He then proceeds to walk on foot to the nearest car lot (which happens to be in Mexico for some reason, mostly because he burned up his map in the car and he's been taking backroads.) He finds an old bicycle in a garbage dump and uses that.

 

He finally gets to the car lot and buys a fixer-upper for $50. Before leaving the car lot he has to change a tire, which he replaces with the solid rubber donut. He buys fuel and heads off to the Daytona 500 again. Only he's heading deeper into Mexico and eventually ends up broken down in front of, "Autodromo Internacional de la Jolla" due to no water in the radiator. The engine block has seized up. Luckily, there's a race about to start. Christopher...er "Alexander Superspeeder", who changed his name, pays the $125 entry fee for the race.

 

Unfortunately, Alexander Superspeeder doesn't have a race car. He does however have an old bicycle still. He uses the bicycle to race. He makes it only 3 laps before he is too tired to steer straight and veers off into a race car and is killed.

 

Some Jew picks up his story and writes a book about his life and how he followed his dreams. Another Jew makes a movie about it. Armchair racers around the world adore him.

 

The End.

Would you be willing to share a picture of the inside of your van?

While most people who live in their van take huge effort in converting their van into a livable space it sounds like you just left in mostly bare and bought some random pieces of equipment that just lie everywhere around in the back.

what kind of van do you have? I've been eyeing this beast

nice story, you probably enjoy the video game jalopy.

 

thought about doing huge effort conversion it but i did very little, first i want to understand my own preferences more

 

it's an old box truck, tall enough so i can stand in it without crouching. i only cared about it having the right height and not being too wide. box is an unusual shape, it is very affected by wind. if a car drives past it too fast then it starts to rock back and forth and when it rains, the rain is very loud because it has the perfect roof that turns each drop into a slap on a big drum.

 

unless you are a midget you can't stand up in this. midgets don't even know how good they have it. they can just stand up in a regular sized van and also they can put a small bed sideways and save so much space inside. being tiny has nothing but advantages for vehicle dwelling, they don't even know.

 

the height of mine is 2,70m. that means i can stand up inside, which i like a lot. downside is that there are some places where i can't drive because only smaller cars fit. there are parking garages i just can't fit in. that's not so bad for me because i bought mine to get away from crammed spaces like inner city and parking structures. other then that bridges aren't really that low here so that has never been a problem. with a van your size you don't have those problems but you might develop a crooked neck from having to duck inside all the time.

 

i also like to sit a bit higher so i have a better view of traffic, i found that to be a big advantage. also i have big sidemirrors like a truck and those help so much getting a better feel for traffic then these regular tiny car mirrors.

 

i think choosing the dimensions carefully based on your preferences and intentions is the most important.

 

i think this is a nice practical perspective to van dwelling dimensions:

 

high van: more space for storage, ability to stand up

low van: easier time getting into parking garages, no scraping branches when driving next to trees.

long van: more space

short van: way easier time finding a parking spot, easier time getting around tight corners

wide van: more space

thin van: way easier time driving through narrow streets.

When you build you stuff out of aluminum extrusion you can just tear it down against and build something different out of it if it does not fit your needs anymore.

my plan was once to use these to build a roof rack to mount solar on top but then i noticed that i would not even use electricity and then i stopped bothering. in the end it would be a whole lot of trouble and lots of money and work ... just so i can have a little fridge that i can do very good without. i am still fascinated by the technology (both the solar and the aluminum extrusions) but i know i would barely make use of it at this point.

 

i've watched so much of the DIY SOLAR channel by will prowse on youtube. the dude has taught me so much (that i have yet to apply).

 

if you happen to know some cool examples of people using aluminum extrusions, i'd appreciate it greatly. other then the roof rack i can't think of anything i would use it for but that's probably me not understanding it's full potential yet.

 

something really cool you can buy in germany in the construction store OBI is 2,7cm steel pipe for DIY furniture. is just a very strong pipe in either silver or black and it has all these connector pieces. i used this to build a very simple bed. just 4 pipes, 4 connectors and 3 feet (one foot is missing because it just sits on top of the wheelwell. THE BED SUCKS, IT IS UNCOMFORTABLE but when the matress arrives i hope it will be nice. Currently i use an inflatable matress and it is very uncomfortable.

I learned first about aluminum extrusions when I heard that this guy planned to build a bed out of it

He uses 40mmx40mm aluminum extrusion which is completely overkill for everything. He could have easily used 20mmx40mm aluminum extrusion for the same stability and 3 bars would have been easiily sufficient for what he did.

 

When I researched about it I found as well that there are little really good videos about it on youtube. I only really learned how to use it by just doing it.

 

The beauty about aluminum extrusion is that you can order it precut to exactly the dimensions you need. All connections are friction fit to machined surfaces. So you basically just have to 3d model it, order it, and then can just assemble it with standardized connectors. In theory you just need an allen key for this. the cheapest connectors requires drilling holes and cutting threads into the extrusion thoug. You can basically build any structure that consists out of 90° angles out of aluminum extrusion. There are no limits.

 

So far I've built my bed and some cabinets out of aluminum extrusions. I only have experience with I-type extrusions from https://www.motedis.com/de

 

I know these threaded pipes because you can make bar clamps out of these. They might be strong as fuck but they are just so heavy that it's not fun to work with them.

huh! those are sum pretty nice projects, thanks for posting. i always thought those extrusions are best for stuff that is changing around a lot based each situation and fastened with wing-nuts because everything can slide so easy in these groves; of course that's nonsense and there is no reason not to build more permanent things.

 

that video was nice because i have started to research these rivet nuts but i have never seen them use in an actual project. i wanted to get into poprivets at first but then seeing how i can just use the rivet nuts to place a thread into something sold me on the rivet nuts.

 

if the aluminium extrusions weren't so expensive, they would be ideal to build everything in the van out of. sadly they slightly exceed my available current budget.

It is not even the aluminum that gets so expensive but the connectors.

For my bed I spend like 250€ for the aluminum, 100€ for connectors/screws, and 60€ shipping. I could have easily spend double that for connectors if I had gone for the more expensive kind that does not require drilling holes yourself.

 

If you want to go the cheap route I guess you can always rely on spruce, screws, and wood glue. You have to go for aluminum when you attach something to the outside because the sun and rain will wreck any wooden structure in ans years. But on the inside you can easily go for wood.

 

that's a lot of money but it's so much nicer to use something you made yourself plus if you ever decide not to have the bed anymore, you can just disassemble it and use the components to build something else so it is an investment you will probably benefit for the rest of your life from.

 

i guess the wood is my only option though wood is expensive too these days. i wish i could use gasbeton bricks. i build such a nice bed from gasbeton bricks.

 

i just placed gasbeton bricks on the floor and then balanced wooden planks on it and then put more gasbeton bricks on top. very much reminds me of the game jenga. it was neither glued nor screwed, it just relies on gravity to hold up. quite fragile but so far it has been holding up nicely for more then a year.

 

of course with the constant vibration and accelleration/decelleration of the moving vehicle, this would require some method of holding everything in place but so far i have not been able to come up with anything that i liked.

 

in the appartment this method is so nice because i have made the bricks the exact size so that banana crates (which can be collected free from the grocery store) fit exactly in the space. so i have a bed on top of two shelves that have 6 levels of shelvingspace underneath. when i build this bed all my storage problems were instantly solved.

have you ever had to shit in a bag? I talked to a guy that lives out his van about the challenges of van life once and he mentioned he occasionally has to shit in a plastic bag

 

has to shit in a plastic bag? i get to! i have this foldable toilet that i put plastic bag over, then i poop, wipe my ass with regular toilet paper, then i take the bag, put a knot in it and throw it in the trash like it was a bag of dog poo.

 

it's really not that bad. first time was awkward but then i rejoiced, this actually works and for a while i can postpone building a more permanent toilet. i wash my hands over a rain gutter with bio degradable soap and a spray bottle of water. i get the poop stink out of the car with a leaf blower. learned this from a decade long van pro in a video.

I'm getting disingenuous vibes from this post

don't you wash your ass after pooping?

What do you do if you have to poop and pee at the same time? Do you also pee in the bag?

vanbernd desu! i was just eating a meal in the woods a few dozen kilometers away from the silly hive i was spawned in. was beautiful. i could neither hear a car nor a plane. just silence with the occasional grashopper.mp3.

 

then after i was done eating i was feeling a strange twitch in my benis and then 1 minute later as i was loudly munching on hazelnuts, a naked women walked by. roughly my age, completely naked, not minding me that much. i heard her hello before i even saw her. i ate a few more hazelnuts and got the fuck out because i don't wanna be molested in the woods by some lonely femcel, i can have that at home.

you somewhat made shitting in bags sound to me like it was a chore and not the greatest gift.

 

 

no that's not necessary at all. i'm thin and fit and eat mostly fruit and vegetables. my poop is not as gooey and problematic as people with normal diets.

 

 

no in the beginning i thought this would be a problem so i always opened my pee bottle and held it in front of my benis but then turned out the body doesnt need to pee and poo at the same time, that's just a weak habit from using water toilet that took me like 5 times until the urges were separated again.

so, if you somehow got poop on your hand, would you just wipe it off and call it a day or wash it with soap and water?

What do you do if you take a dump at wörk? Do you have to go home to take a shower?

Tangentially related but just today we were taking a poll at wörk, how many of us would use a shower if installed at the premises.

Socialist activists cannot even FATHOM such wörkers' rights

How did the poll turn out?

80% of the time I work from home, so that's not really an issue; besides, there is a bidet at my office

 

do people really poop at work? I could never relax enough

Why would you poop for free if you might as well can get paid for it? Seems not wise.

I don't think my sphincter and bowel movement can be swayed by logic

 

i take a spraybottle of water + some bio-degradable soap and wash my hands over one of these free sinks that grow on the street (picture attached). it is a 2 liter bottle of water and i can wash my hands with it ~8 times before i refill it from a bigger bottle of water, which i usually fill at public water pumps. whenever i see a public pump, i get excited and try it out and about half of them work.

 

 

i have a bathtub that i shower in at the tiny appartment, which i am back at now. when i started the thread a few days ago, i was at someone my parents knew who had a hostel and at the hostel there were just these functioning showers, it was wonderful. WAY BETTER then my bathtub shower combination. not having the stupid combination faucet but the dedicated shower was so much better.

 

exploring tiny villages in the van is so much fun, i might try to find a way to shower in the van. in theory i have a complicated way but i never even used it and currently i don't even have it in the van, it collects dust in the appartment.

i was buying groceries at the netto for my sexual harassment lunch in the woods a few hours ago and the cashier (probably realizing i was poor) just gave me 1€ off.

 

i bought:

 

1 cucumber (0,55€)

1 bag of hazelnuts (2,99€)

1 luxurious organic sesame-poppy-chia breadroll (0,59€)

1 cheap poppy breadroll that was hard already (0,19€)

1 cheap sesame breadroll that was very nice (0,19€)

1 little cup of chilli hummus (0,99€)

1 kg of nectarines in a little plastic tray wrapped in a little net (1,99€)

 

that should total to: 7,49€ but there was a mysterious entry of -1,00€ on the receipt and so it totalled 6,49€.

maybe universe was looking out for me, maybe the cashier felt guilty for laughing about me when i entered the store. i've gotten such strange reactions from people, when i arrive someplace people just laugh without me even having to say anything. when they see me wash my hands over the streetsink they look like their mind was blown.

 

even when the human attached to it has a difficulty picking up social cues, there are no autistic sphincters and the sphincter has some social sense.

 

probably mans your job sucks, i hope you find a better one where you don't have to feel so uncomfortable.

I used to not be able to pee at a urinal with someone standing next to me. But lately I have managed to do this several times.

The key is to just not give a fuck anymore. Which happens automatically as you get older. So you just have to wait and get older.

 

Sometimes when I'm in the stall and someone goes into the one next to me I put some toilet paper into my ears so that I don't have to hear him and can relax better.

 

if people talk shit so much, it is only natural to wanna wipe the shit from your ear.

I always feel uncomfortable, it has nothing to do with my job (which is not stressful for the most past)

 

urinals are mind boggling, who even came up with that idea? why would you just whip your cock out where others can see it?

 

have you thought about bringing a tiny bluetooth speaker with you and playing relaxing music for everyone to enjoy?

It is not allowed to look at the other male's penis at the urinal. This would be gay and you wouldn't want to get caught doing it. So it is not out for others to see because it is protected by a social barrier.

 

dont?!

 

this one is mind boggeling to me too. i like being comfortable but i wouldn't ever whip my cock out for others to see. i believe too much in privacy.

 

also i don't like the inflationary relationship with the world and my cock. my cock is not something you should be able to see if you time it right and go to the bathroom when i go to the bathroom. my cock is for nice young ladies who have earned seeing it. not as a spectacle for drunk creeps and gays.

I never understood the fear of pooping outside the home. me personally, I shit loudly and proudly all the time in public toilets

25% would do it at least once a week, 75% would do it at least once a month

the foam matress arrived. next day i will bring bedsheets and a pillow in the van and then i finally have a nice place to sleep and sit🚚💨

i have a very thin bed in the van now.

 

in the appartment i have a larger bed 140x200cm but since it is built so dangerously, i always sleep very still without much moving around.

 

in the van i have a 60x200cm bed now so i will sleep very still in it because there is no space to move around. it is reasonably comfortable. the matress is hard foam and it is suspended not on a regular Lattenrost but on rope that i have woven into a net.

PICS

 

no pictures for you, i don't wanna be surveilled by you. you don't think the hoes would love me on instagram? i don't like this mainstream culture of turning everything into content. i am here because i want to get away from this nasty soul-eating camera culture.

 

it was rather strange to me when some people on the kohl started to just post what they called their face (i mean who knows if that is true, might just be some dirty algorithm being tested by some giggeling artificial intelligence asshole) and one dude made videos begging for money.

Does your skateboard just roll around in the back or do you have a dedicated place for it?

i have 4 skateboards in a little vertical cardboard box (old order from amazon) secured by bungee cords. then i have a banana crate that is full of a few smaller skate devices and also has the pads and helmet that i mostly use to teach my father how to skate. his feet were beginning to hurt (he thought it was old age) and feel like walking on sand so i began to teach him how to skate on a snakeboard and now his feet feel healthy again.

how old are you?

How old are you?

about to turn 25

Nice. Do you have brothers or sisters?

one brother, why do you care?

cool. Are you ans Neet or at university?

why do you care

I care about you, sweetie

fine

 

 

 

i hope you are making space in your schedule for it. i wanna now make sunday the day on which i work on my dream because it is better when i skate during the week and recover from it on the weekend because on the weekend all the assholes are not at work and seek for cool people without being cool themselves.

oh, I do

 

i am the king of procrastination, my days are full of doing things i love

 

you know, I'd really like to be able to skate. not to do tricks, but move around in the city. it's much cooler than cycling but I'm afraid of injuries.

 

 

what you may have not accounted for in your analysis of what is possible for you is the learning effect when it comes to balance. balance is something that can be improved to such ridiculous levels but you can not see that from where you are now. the nervous system in your body will be able to ping your muscles and your center of gravity and will create a zone of safety.

 

consider yourself a joystick. you can tilt in any direction a certain degree before you can not stand any longer and you tilt (or fall or catch yourself). lol first thing skating does is increase this zone and teach you that the looser you are in your body, the more you can tilt any direction before losing balance. but that's beside the point. what i meant to focus on is that at some point you just know how far you can tilt. you know how crooked you can stand, how much you can bend in any given direction. you learn you limits (and simultaneously also expand them). once you understand your limits, there is never doubt whether you will lose balance or not. you will always know way sooner then you know believe to be possible. it is like a chess game. in 3 moves you will lose your balance. that gives you time to counteract.

 

and also you will understand that the reason why people hurt themselves when they fall is stupidity. some people are so unintelligent when it comes to their balance, that they fall in the worst way possible when there are better ways to fall. until you have fallen a few times i think it is better to wear pads and helmet but then after you have fallen a few times with them you understand how easily you have the ability to manage the fall. with a bit experience you decide how you fall, you make tiny adjustments before and during the fall and you become an expert in minimizing damage from falling automatically.

 

you already know a device that tickles you? one thing that i have been creepily staring at while holding my crotch are these dragan boards. they are more modern snakeboards that have little side-pockets that lets you jump up curbs. if they weren't so expenisve i would have gotten one already.

whoaa

 

they really remind me of waveboards, i used to cruise round on waveboards a lot as a kid

they might actually be something for me wowow

 

i got me a nice waveboard made from wood recently. i drive it once in a while. i still have another one made from plastic that looks like a surfboard that i don't keep in the van.

 

i often ride around on an old original snakeboard from the 90s. the snake motion is so much fun, the more you ride something like this, the more you begin to open up to the possibilities of circular motion, which eventually spread to your arms, head and spine. it is similar to free skates. free skates are the ultimate when it comes to circular movement because without the bar in the middle you can tilt them more and this is makes it feel 3d while snakeboard feels more 2d. you really do feel like a snake on a snakeboard and riding on free skates makes me feel like a monkey. for riding around to actually get places i wouldn't use free skates though because they feel so much better on perfect smooth ground and lots of curbs and roads and cars would kind of ruin the fun for me, also they attract too many eye balls.

man, i'm binge watching cruise board videos now

why did you do this to me

 

post a nice one good sir, i don't think i have seen one. i built some board out of old parts i had laying around that my called a 'cruiser board' but it wasn't even that good for cruising.

 

also i recently bought a longboard from aldi for 35€. quality seemed fine to me except for the bearings, which i instantly switched out for some better ones but i am kind of disappointed how much i have to 'pedal 'to get it going. i guess i am used to circular motion in which propelling is only such a insignificant detail. feels like all i am doing on the longboard is propelling.

I LOVE my longboard. I ride it to the gym and on rainy days like today I love soaking in the feeling and the getting wet after a hot workout, just carving along, but would love to make to move to more freeskate stuff one day

oh nice. i want to build a pair of freeskates specifically for rain. i already have some ceramic bearings that wont get rusty from water and the body of the free skates is aluminum so they are fine. only thing i have yet to figgure out is the grip tape. thinking about ordering some non abrasive grip tape from rubber but that would be 60€ for 4 sheets and i would only need 1/2 sheet.

 

 

learning free skates is pretty easy, especially if you already have some balance experience. i'd say you would need 2 sessions of 2 hours to learn it, preferably with a few days of rest in between.

 

first session you just try to hold yourself up near a railing while all the muscles you never use get a chance to exercise. second session you can probably roll for a few meters before bailing. and then on the third session you'd already be able to drive.

 

then to get from beginner to advance you can either ride around for years like i did or put kettlebells in your hands and those unlock some crazy arm movements way faster. imagine pendulum swinging kettle bells in synchronicity with your foot movements for a long time and then suddenly take them off and the hands continue the habit of being part of the swing, with the notable difference that their swing now ways 4kg or 8kg less so the arms contribute to the motion so strong that you have to worry about them sweeping you off the feet.

wanted to spend the night in some village i had driven to but i chickened out. i just had a bad feeling and drove home. i worry that the bad things that have happened to me in the past repeat themselves.

 

children being annoying and wanting to talk to me

destructive pranking teenagers bullying/'pranking'/destroying my van

ugly women and gays molesting me

incels looking for friendship

seniors/dog owners/police thinking i came to rob the place, treating me like a criminal

not finding a parking space (some towns are specifically designed so that it is impossible to park in them, many towns have limits on their parking spaces specifically to deter people from sleeping in the car)

 

i find it so hard to not worry in a place and then fall asleep while people driving by wondering if i am some thief, vandal or terrorist.

 

often i come to a village and i have this feeling of entering the first town in tingle's rupy land: YouTube: QdYPxI-REgI?t=816 (check 13min36sec to know what i mean with this)

 

i'm not a bodybuilder or professional competitive alcohol drinkers like most of you.

good post I didn't see it for some reason. personally I want a cargo van for stealth purposes, and I don't really care about being able to stand in it, I just want enough room to be comfy sleeping and sitting

 

this was also important to me because i assume having a nice caravan would invite a lot of people to approach and be curious. turns out a lot of people approach me and are curious but only when they see me near the vehicle hanging out, cleaning the windows or getting in and out. i wish my doors would close more silently.... when they can't see me the car looks very boring and i have slept in it in my city in many places without being bothered most of the time.

You sound pretty paranoid tbh.

 

Main carsleeper rule btw is to not park a prolonged time where you sleep.

You park somewhere to do your day activities. Then in the late evening you drive to your sleeping space, sleep, and in the morning you drive away against. Then you wont get any problems with bored boomers that bother people that sleep in vicinity of their house.

i've seen some shit, my fantasy is intact, i detect danger very early, my the ability of my senses far outperforms those of normal humans, my nervous system is devloped beyond what most consider to be possible, i am spiritually experienced, i am evil nazisciene's ultimate prey. there is always lots of stuff going on and depending on how much you see you know about it or not.

 

what if rain announces it's arrival with a smell but your nose is stuffed so you can't know this? you'd name everyone who can smell the rain by some psychological disease. you'd call them 'smellist'. you'd call them crazy for hurrying home and unhang the drying clothes from the clothesline and then when it start to rain all the sudden you'd insist it to be a coincidence.

 

 

 

actually solid advice, i'm surprised someone with a stuffed nose knows about it. i always keep it moving and never stay too long in one place. i also park differently on weekends; away from pubs and busy transportation hubs because that is where the drunk assholes will stumble home and when they see something interesting or hear a positive emotion, their curiosity is peaked.

A good resource for "stealth" camping is the Camping With Steve youtube channel. He lived exclusively in his van for several years and made his youtube channel about camping in weird places. He gives solid advice about boondocking.

 

I usually sleep in my car as well when I visit some places and I've never had any problems with being bothered by different people. But I also don't start turning on a leaf blower in my car, then come out with a plastic bag to throw in a garbage can and then proceed to wash my hands over a gutter with a spray bottle. I can see how this would make bystanders suspicious.

I prefer industrial areas and park and ride parking spots. Nobody bothers you there. I would assume that it would also extremely easy to sleep on an aldi parking spot as long as you go there after it is closed and leave before they open. They are everywhere and noone goes there after they are closed. But I've never tried it.

 

The gold standard for extremely bold stealth camping is vagrant holiday whose videos everyone probably already knows. I wish I had even half the balls of this guy.

Also besides you talking about how positive you are you seem very full of yourself and have a very negative attitude against literally everyone else. Seems rather contradictory and makes me doubt that you are a very pleasant person to interact with.

 

if that was true then why wouldn't you go the extra step and listen to your doubts and don't interact with me? i guess you are surprised often and have learned not to trust your own hunches.

It is not even a hunch. It is unpleasant and I learn nothing from it. You act like your typical teenager that thinks that he has understood the world.

 

But I'm bored and think it might help you with the sickness of your head if you got a little honest feedback. Also BG is dead and you are the most active poster right now. By this you are doing the board a favor even if it is just crazy ramblings.

 

you do have a lot to learn and i hope you find someone patient who can help you make sense of the things that keep confusing you and guide you through all the dangers. i wouldn't have the patience for such hard work and frankly i would believe it to be a waste of time to waste patience on someone who has shown so little potential.

 

 

 

 

you're still stuck on "everyone who doesn't think like me is crazy". i don't think like you and i am not crazy so that's how easily the limits of your world view are reached.

 

there are logical reasons for why people believe what they do and i know your reasons and you don't know my reasons and you are fascinated by me and i couldn't care less by your generic theater.

 

oh are you?

 

 

that's like a retarded boy with down syndrom offering michael jackson a dance lesson.

are you certain you're Michael Jackson in this scenario?

That's a blatant threat to sexually violate me.

Now the purpose of the van becomes apparent. No wonder police and villagers are suspicious of you. I hope they will get you.

 

maybe if you ate according to your species and wouldn't be tired all the time and had a positive self image of yourself and maybe even loved yourself you might come closer to expressing the potential and innocence that molesters are so drawn to but the way you live now i see no chance of anyone molesting you. though i don't wanna step on your dream, maybe one day you decide to make some changes in your life and then become beautiful late in life and then your molestation fantasies might become true.

 

there would be no need to offer you candy if you just approach people in vans and ask them to molest you. you are like the fish that jumps into the bucket with the caught fish.

 

also michael was innocent. it was people like you who were jealous of the power that he earned through peaceful means. he became a god without hurting anyone. without weapons, without war, without trickery, without politics, without threat or blackmail. he won democracy. that always rubs corrupted people the wrong way, they want power to come through violence and hierarchy and michael didn't violate anyone.

 

i might never have reached michael's level but i did find some stuff that he stumbled over himself along his journey. i wasn't in a position to do anything with the discovery unfortunately because i had no idea how much evil it attracts but just having tasted the outer limits of human potential while most are just absent-minded passengers in their own life kind of makes me feel like michael IF I AM TALKING TO SUFFICIENTLY UNCONSCIOUS PEOPLE THAT IS.

can you moonwalk?

hell yeah

can you do a hee-hee?

yes bishes and i can make all the little michael noises and say shamowney like i mean it.

I knew it! Michael Jackson faked his own death and is hiding in Germany

i never thought about this despite being a lover of conspiracies, this might actually be a nice way out of the nightmare that is fame.

currently i am parked 40km from home in a little wood in between two little villages. hopefully nobody will bother or bully me. trying to spend the night, hopefully i can sleep so i can try visit some more places tomorrow. insects are plenty here.

 

went through many little towns today. almost anywhere is more comfy then this factory farm i still have the misfortune to live in.

what if you meet a bear?

bears dont live here afaik, though i don't think a bear would care to harm me

there are over 1000 beras on clobenia

that's exactly how you get eaten by a bear

here we only have black bera, and they're giant sissies

would you win a fist fight with a black bear?

no, but i could probably scare it off by ringing a bell or something

Why would you think that?

and what would you do if you didn't have a bell on hand?

they are easily scared off by loud noises

 

yell at it and stretch my arms out to appear bigger. though i'd probably be making a bunch of noise while hiking so it wouldn't approach me in the first place

also semi-related: they closed a beach in my state a few days ago because there was a cougar climbing on a rock

I want to travel to America and experience the country I only know from movies firsthand

is Oregon full of hipsters?

come to Oregon and I'll show you some cool spots. hold on to you snacks though, or this little rascal might try to steal them

 

Portland probably is, but I very rarely go there anymore

did they kick you out for not wearing flannel?

was looking for a place to shower, thought of a public pool, these motherfuckers wanted me to pay 16,50€ to go in (+3€ parking).

 

now i'm searching for a public water pump to refill my ~10l container so i can wash hands again. should have refilled it when it was convenient.

wouldn't it be more cost effective to get a gym membership? or do you move around the country too much?

 

would be smart though i despise their monetization sceme too much to participate. they try to lure people into paying monthly and then i can't terminate the contract for 2 years and only cancel once a year. feels like having to remember to say uno or it doesn't count. why can't i pay 3-5€ to get in, no personal information required.

 

also i'd worry i get molested. compared to the human potential i am not but compared to average germans i am quite attractive; some asshole always does some political theater to force an interaction, or finds excuses to touch me and sheit

I watched that video and now I'm getting some interesting recommendations on youtube

 

gymbros are pretty chill, they wouldn't molest you

 

they'd like me very much and i don't think of people who go to the gym as interesting and i always have this problem of people who are fascinated by me and i could not care less about them and it is such an exhausting uncomfortable dynamic where people slowly have to learn how uninteresting they are and i am tired of this dynamic so i don't go where the normies are.

i'm checking the video out. i very much liked the videos of the dude on youtube called "vagrant holiday" he only has a hand full of videos but very well made.

Steve Wallis is cool. I often stream his videos on Endcorner before the main movie, as a pre-show warm-up.

Outdoors Unsupervised does similar videos, inspired by Steve Wallis.

Another good channel with unconventional outdoors content: Geowizard. Chiefly his straight line mission videos, but there are others too like crossing a city no-road missions.

currently parking near a field 100km from home. i believe corn is grown on it. it's raining gently and there is no one around. i like parking outside of the human settlements. im eating blended fruit that i brought from home in a glass in a passive cooker and i watch dragon ball from the beginning.

I just watched this and was entertained

Too bad his channel is trashed up with geo guesser stuff.

 

interdasting video, he is rather clumsy in his movements and doesn't know how to move without making so much noise. my guess is that he doesn't skate enoug. probably the drinking fucked up his sense of stealth, though might help with courage.

He has playlists compiled together from his adventures, so don't have to scroll through the geoguesseaoure stuff.

today i was in a big city with these borg cubes for people to live in. 10 or 20 story high cubes. people drinking alcohol at 10:00 in the morning. felt weird and hopeless.

 

such density of people and absolutely no people-run businesses. just the big chain stores and a few medium sized chain stores. felt like a dystopian prison, a paradox place that keeps people alive but only physically. like people sitting in these towers waiting for death to finally arrive.

 

i was hoping to find evidence of actual poverty in this country and it is mostly poverty in spirit. hopelessness, deep sad bags under the eyes, depression, self-inflicted problems of idiocy.

 

also i was in a tourist trap and i thought there are none in this country. gave me a bad feeling. i was all cheerful and intoxicated with love for freedom when i arrived and there were so many ugly women staring at me or seeking conflict to get my attention. women are like pidgeons and seeing someone in a good mood while their life is suffering are the breadcrumbs they dive at.

 

very depressing day. the other days were nice and pleasant.

 

found a nice spot to park between a corn-field and a kornfeld. ('korn' is grain in german). i head cows mooing in the distance. imma watch me some original dragon ball and try to get over this depressing day.

was in a charming city today. used to be a city for rich people but now not so much anymore. very relaxed, wide roads, lots of parking, small businesses, next to a lake that even the povos get to access. seems nice, maybe i move here.

 

i am hoping to find a little tiny 1-2 room house with lots of trees on the property that i can rent, where i can park next to it but my price range of 500€ per month probably wont allow for that. i'd even heat with firewood and heat my own water and shit like that.

 

this evening i started looking for a sleeping spot way too late. i found a field of grain to park next to on a little farm-road but it was almost dark already. i hope nobody drives by because i squeezed in a spot very close to the farmroad. not an ideal space but i hope it will work out till tomorrow.

seems like you have to get a job

 

welcome to the club :/

 

i have one but it pays just enough to survive. but i can do it from the van and this is all that matters to me. i'd rather be dirt poor then work with 40 year old karens in an office.

 

worked 90 minutes today and also like 4 hours on monday.

i also do 4h/week for 520 euros a month

 

what do you work? IT related?

I'd really live the van life too if only I could get a driving license. :/

god damn i'm stuck on the grainfield. can't go forward or backwards. i parked on a slightly too step spot and now i am wedged weirdly over a little mountain of earth. i guess this is my new home then.

i type relly fast so takes me no time to write documents, write emails, create pdfs, make neat file folders, repair computers and sort mails and files for someone who would do it at 1/10th of the speed i do it.

 

go get your license carless life is garbage i have tried it for too long.

i know but i can't get a license

are you still stuck?

 

no i was fortunate that i was just ~30km away from where my father lives so he offered to drag me out. he came by, pulled me out with his car and a 20€ plastic towing rope that i know am the proud owner of. we ate some of my vegan ice cream, looked interesting houses and he took off again.

 

was stuck for ~5 hours. apparently there are things that i can use to unstuck myself with the help of a nearby tree and a battery powered drill. or maybe they make a handcranked version. should get something like that soon.

is so nice to be a bum in a van. city life was just too many people. i'm outside all day, few people see me and when i go to the supermarket either early or late then there is minimal contact with the humans. now that's the hikki life i have been longing for🤗

i'm currently parked on one side of a very small mountain and left and right are grain fields. just started to get dark and i hear this noise from an animal that i never heard before.

 

is a mixture of a bark and an exhale, more like a loud exhale. maybe some kind of deer.

 

i parked near many fields but never have i heard wild animals make noises. maybe is fucking season.

latest trip was very nice. i was hoping to learn about where i wanted to live and what is out there and finally after much driving around i found something i very much liked. after a decade of bad luck in the physical plane it is nice to have something enjoyable in my life that i am looking forward to.

some asshole wrote words on the side of the van. not sure if this was spraipaint or some marker. i couldn't tell. seemed to be wet and drippy. second time that happened to my poor van.

 

unfortunately it does generate quite the public interest sometimes.

i would have never guessed how much time i would be wasting having to patiently reject people over and over until they stop being a bother. i would have never guessed what horrific central torturous activity in my life this was going to be.

 

yall bernds are ugly, you wouldn't understand this. you don't even skate or dance, obviously this is some deliberate longterm slow suicide for self-harming reasons.

women aren't polite when they flirt with you. not that yall uggos would even ever find out about that.

 

most women are always in this nasty mindspace of trying to force people to like them.

Thats very nice! Im happy for you.

 

 

thx muchacho, saturday the high temperatures should be over and i can continue to be a bum on the road. i very much enjoy this new possibility of being a nomad in my life. i wish i could have done that sooner. if i did this during my more horny days i wouldn't have had to collect as many gigabytes of porn ^^

slept bad last night. i'm out bumming in the van again. currently parked near farmland like i usually do. last night i had a nightmare that involved something that seemed like lasers to me. i just suddenly saw red lasers in my dream, like synchronized dancing lasers but they weren't emitted from anywhere. when i woke up the lasers where still visible. this wasn't really in the dream. it was either some outside influence or maybe some biological function. i woke up worried and short-breathed.

 

i was in an old industrial city, full of dense appartments that is now rundown. was full of mean mugging people and had be worried a bit. seemed full if refugees. i was searching for a skatepark and i couldn't find it so i gave up quickly and got the fuck out.

 

some places i instatrly like, other places, (usually the densly populated places) repell me quickly.

Meow

the other day i was in a rural farm-supermarket and the managing bitch was so arroused that she would turn off the lights in the parts of the store i was in and for a second she wouldn't open the automatic door out of the store to trap me wile she had this nasty rape facial expression.

maybe the deer have their fuck season currently. i'm hearing more animal noises now then a few weeks ago. bit scary, i guess i'll be used to this soon.

Do you plan to spend your winter in your van?

drinking a very mild sweet malted local beer (1,8% vol.) from the place i am sraying at. 0.5l beer is a crazy large amounf for a digestive system to endure. is too much, will take me another hour to finnish this.

noo i smoke weed in the winter

Weed makes me more sensitive to cold weather. I thought this wasn't just me because THC can cause the blood pressure to lower. Why smoke weed only in winter AND in germany? Are you a fan of cold? If so, based! Cold is the best weather.

 

i just noticed how dark and depressing winter can be. i had a friend who was half german and half columbian and he always complained about winter and i never understood it but since last year i do. he left germany and moved to colombia because of it and now that i am older i see his point. it does suck. weed makes it better and during summer i hardly smoke any because it's so nice to be active and bum around.

Yeah, it can really bite.

I barely get any of it, living in the middle of the desert and with the climate disaster advancing.

currently i'm parked in the woods. actually found a big forrest region where cars can drive through on a gravel and dirt road. i've never experienced such peace. it is so nice and quiet. there arent as many opportunities to park as near the farmland but if i look long enough i can find a nice spot next to the road. i had known how much i was gonna like the offroad.

 

is just nice to be away from people.

How do you find good places to park overnight?

 

when i drive around i look look out for them and whenever i find one that is nice, i'll bookmark the place on the open source map app. that way when i get tired and wanna park for the night, i usually have a few options lined up. but since i've done it often enough, i kind of know where i very likely find a nice space just from looking at the map since the map shows farmland, small farmroads, woods and buildings.

 

an example. when i am near farms (which i can tell by the light green color) i look for farm roads on that light green that cross each other (thus indicating they most likely are travelled on so much that they are wide enough so i can drive easily on them since the van is 2m wide) that are also far enough away from houses so no dwellers get spooked by the old van driven by the ungroomed unusual dude. then i look for dark green on that wide farm road indicating trees. that's likely an excellent spot.

 

if you upload a screenshot of a map, i can try to guess where nice spots are.
