I slept in a house last night. It was weird. I got up really super early after just a few hours of sleep (well, five hours, but it felt like two hours) and my sister and I made a thanksgiving dinner for my mom’s birthday. This is how tired I was: my sister asked me… Continue reading Life in tidbits

Who are you guys?
Some of you get here following links from other blogs, or you know me in real life or through friends or online. A lot of people get here through google “how to live in a van,” “how to shave pussy like a stripper,” “hobo sex,” “stripper pee live,” “change water pump,” “nettles allergies,” or the… Continue reading Who are you guys?
Winter. Van. Alaska.
People keep asking what I’m gonna do in my van when it’s forty below. The truth is, I’m a plan-as-I-go sort of person. In other words: I dunno. This is what I do know: I’ve been in the van down to twenty below before, but just for a couple weeks, and been fine. Also, when… Continue reading Winter. Van. Alaska.
The great thing about Alaska
I got up super early yesterday (like, after three hours of sleep), and went walking through the cold morning woods with a friend to check his burbot lines. There was a burbot! I don’t know how I’d managed to get through life without knowing about them before, because now that the world of burbot has… Continue reading The great thing about Alaska

I have to be back here next weekend because it’s my mom’s birthday and… Continue reading I have the silliest problems
How NOT to rewild
Sometimes I do stupid shit. You can read about my stupid shit doing and maybe skip doing it yourself. I was walking along the most beautiful river in the world, but I wasn’t paying attention. I don’t remember what I was thinking about, but it had nothing to do with what was around me. After… Continue reading How NOT to rewild
How to eat good food for $20/week.
Wendy’s been keeping track of her food expenses and meals, and it’s inspired me to join in. I’m in a place with no grocery store. Just so you guys know. I went shopping before I left and I spent $15 and I’ve been eating good stuff ever since. This is what I bought: a dozen… Continue reading How to eat good food for $20/week.
The journey
(So, you’re actually seeing this a few days after it happened. I guess telling you kind of defeats the purpose of pre-posting, but I felt dishonest not saying that.) I leave the little big city at midnight because, as usual, that’s the time of day I get my shit together. I drive out of town… Continue reading The journey
