First of all only faggot numales say traveler. Your a fucking hobo.

Any major city has rooms for rent at weekly rates. They will be shitbag flea infestes poverty holes, but you will have acess to a kitchen. Also, bring a gun and be prepared to jump out the window.

What kind of science?
I live in Los Alamos.
Everyone here is a scientist.
The town is about as /out/ friendly as it gets and within 45 min in almost any direction is really cool stuff.Everything from high desert to dense forest.
The pay is great and the cost of living is low.

If you live somewhere with gravel you could turn the land into a big gravel pit and live there. It would end up more like a construction site than a nature area for a decade but once the pit fills up and the trees and grass start to grow back you're left with a beautiful private lake.

But you need a lot of money to do this obviously.

Did I just have a fucking stroke? I'm sure I've seen this thread before.

>>994064
No?

Its some sort of mold.

>single day

My friend you will not starve to death or get a nutrient deficience after one day so don't worry. The only that might happen is your blood sugar dropping low so just bring a couple of bits of chocolate with you.

Sometimes my blood sugar drops low and my my vision goes blurry, a bit of chocolate fixes this straight away.

Yeah, basically if you're worried about energy for a single-day adventure carbs is all you need.

Bring candy.

Obviously multi-day and long-term diets have different needs.

>>994361
the carbs I understand, what about salt? I'm planning on drinking about a gallon of water to replace sweat

Well I'm not going to go deep into the mines and die of starvation as I try to hunt bats with rocks as my flashlight flickers out.

Just camp near the entrances and look around through the main corridors.

Growing up in Nevada we were warned thoroughly and frequently about the dangers of abandoned mines. The things I can recall
>snaked
>sudden unmarked deep shafts
>rotted supports
>poison gas
>air that's been so stagnant for so long that it'll suffocate you
The breathing hazards alone can incapacitate you before you even realize something is wrong. In short: don't fucking do it.

Can't help you with where to get australorps, but chicken coops can be as easy or as hard as you want. I usually plan 1.5 sq feet of coop per chicken, lots of nesting boxes with external access and a removable floor for cleaning. Coops should be raised. Aviaries I make way bigger than needed mostly so it's easy for me to clean. make sure yoy have a roof over part of it for food and water as well as shade, check instructables for all kinds of food and water ideas. I also set up misters for when it gets blazing hot and a small pool for them to wade in and cool off.

only pic I have of ny last coop

Try to find a local farmer page on facebook. I'm in NH and there are a ton. If you can't find one then order some from Murray McMurray hatchery. They'll ship you live chicks. As far as a coop goes, just make em a little predator proof house with some thick anchored dowels for perching and little nesting cubbies. Chickens are hard to fuck up. I've got almost sixty of the bastards.

The USFS still operates fire towers, but they are mostly as hiker attractions. The rangers that staff them are expected to educate visitors on local history, fire prevention and ecology.

>>991526

Damn, that sucks. Do they stay in the towers to live, or what?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fire_lookout_tower#United_States_2

>Today hundreds of towers are still in service with paid-staff and/or volunteer citizens. In some areas, the fire lookout operator often receives hundreds of forest visitors during a weekend and provides a needed “pre-fire suppression” message, supported by handouts from the "Smokey Bear", or "Woodsy Owl" education campaigns. This educational information is often distributed to young hikers that make their way up to the fire lookout tower. In this aspect, the towers are remote way stations and interpretive centers. The fire lookout tower also acts as a sentinel in the forest attracting lost or injured hikers, that make their way to the tower knowing they can get help.

>In some locations around the country, fire lookout towers can be rented by public visitors that obtain a permit. These locations provide a unique experience for the camper, and in some rental locations, the check out time is enforced when the fire lookout operator returns for duty, and takes over the cab for the day shift.

>Fire lookout towers are an important part of American history and several organizations have been founded to save, rebuild, restore, and operate fire lookout towers.

Everyone uses satellites and programs to automatically spot fires now.

As far as outdoors stuff goes? Amazing
Definitely an /out/ approved state, ocean, mountains, dense forest, rivers, lakes, and desert all within a few hours of each other

As far as living? well theres a lot of homeless, californians, drug addicts, and liberal nanny-staters. Can't pump your own gas, no sales tax, but high income and property tax. Portland is now a massive hassle to even visit, let alone live in, Bend is also fuckspensive, full of rich californians.

Cheap and easy living in the smaller cities and towns though.
However you'll probably develop seasonal allergies and seasonal affective disorder in the winter if you don't manage it right away.

also rain, lots and lots of rain

I guess sixth protip from me, is if you're visiting florida, and want to go to a beach, and you're probably going to stay at a hotel near a populate tourist beach, then find a beach that is a state park, you have to pay to park, but paying the park means the nigs and spics aren't going to be there panhandling or trying to sell you tickets to DA CLUB DOWN TEH STREET. it's worth the 10 dollars, trust me...

>>990064
Most of that is c omplete bullshit. Open the doors form10 minutes while you drink/change ect. No need to leave your windows open at a trail head. Unless you enjoy feding hobos.

An actual southerner here. Carry a poncho. Either its gonna rain all day, in which case break out rain gear or take a break day, or it's going to rain 30 minutes. Which is where the poncho is key. Also a poncho is a tarp

Bug repellent+ sun screen. Aveno makes an ok one that you can buy anywhere but the best is avon skin so soft. Ask you're mom she knows a lady.

>>990080
I have to disagree with a poncho, carrying an extra t-shirt and undies is better. just get rained on if you're just being outdoors, you sweat to death in a poncho here. as it rains for maybe an hour, mid day, doesn't cool anything off, just makes shit steamy. TBQH never had an issue with homeless, but then again, where I drive into I'm normally parking my motorcycle/car into the bushes anyway. worst thing to happen is a roach flies in, or a spider ends up inside...

I took it up this year in mexico.
Fucking blast.
Get a huge rod and learn the pendulum cast.
Surf fishing is amazing and the gear is much cheaper than flyfishing.
Way more fun to hook into some crazy big fish as well.

why the fuck does every freshman engineering major cuck with a bootleg copy of CAD think they can fucking IMPROVE ON OVER 100 YEARS OF DESIGN AND REFINEMENT by fucking redesigning the bicycle and sometimes un-ironically re-inventing the fucking wheel? This bullshit makes 0 sense. Motherfuckers should maybe ride a bike or even just ask a few people who do what they would like to see improved. I can't get behind this cuck shit. Fuck you OP for posting this garbage.

But look how much better bikes are not than they were even just 20 years ago.
