i feel like hitchhiking to prince george from here (kelowna) cuz im poor and need a good summer adventure
i never done this before
is this a dumb idea?
any cool stories from the pals?
ps. i watched thumbs up so thats pretty much my adventure guide
-
Just skitch brah.
-
in parts of europe it can be awesome. i wouldn't really want to do it in the US unless it is absolutely necessary
-
Keep a knife, cellphone, and condoms on you at all times.
-
My advice would be to just go with a friend and if you get a sketchy feeling when somebody pulls over, just bail and wait for the next ride no matter how long it takes.
-
how patient are you?
-
Patient enough to know that a drooling greasy lurker isn't worth the risk of a few more hours at the side of the road.
-
it was directed at frankenberry, badly timed post on my part. youre completely right about not getting in a car with a complete sketchbag
-
I wouldn't do it.
-
Make sure to wear a raccoon skin hat and carry a small drum set.

Just take George Carlin's advice from the Jay and Silent Bob movie and you should be A-OK.

THAT'S MY HIGHWAY
"It's not worth the risk sister"
Oh, and Per, I probably wouldn't do it. Try taking the train. It's a cheap and scenic ride.
Hitchhike to Kamloops, then take it to Jasper, then to PG.

Hitchhiker: [explaining why he gives head for rides] Have you seen the price of bus tickets lately. There's no way I'm gonna cough up 200 bucks just to get to Chicago.
Jay: Fuck that, I don't wanna cough up some dude's sperm.
Hitchhiker: Don't be so suburban. It's the new millennium. Gay, straight... it's all the same now. There are no more lines.
-
Take some mace, and you should be set.
-
It's pretty fucking sketchy but you'd probably come out of it with some rad stories. Just make sure you have some mace or something. And maybe have your friend drive you around at high speeds so you can practice jumping and rolling out of a moving car.

The first time I hitchhiked was through a Jack in the Box drive through because the security guard wouldn't let me walk up to the window and the dining room was closed. I was with two other friends and there were two guys who picked us up. They were drunk or high and were cracking a bunch of jokes and started making fun of the drive through lady because they were convinced she had the clap. Anyways, moral of the story, I got my two tacos for a dollar and a fun experience.
The other two times I've hitchhiked were by my college, where its pretty common. One time I was walking home from my girlfriends house and some guy parked in a driveway saw me and asked if I needed a ride up to campus. It was late and the buses had stopped running so I agreed. He was like "I just need to go inside for a second" and motioned for me to follow. It probably wasn't the smartest decision,but he looked like another student and my gut instinct told me it was cool so I followed him in. Inside I met his friends and they packed me a bowl of half weed, half tabacoo in their homemade bong.

the only area im ever tempted to pick up hitch hikers is in the west kootenays... like kaslo, nakusp, castlegar, grand forks, nelson, the slocan valley... all the young people seem to be well-adjusted happy hippies...
-
in whistler i got picked up by nothing but french canadian men.....
-
we've all been down that road jsoy

Done it once to get home when I was drunk, it was just a ride, like with a cab, only I didnīt have to pay. Second time I hitchhiked in France from Avignon to St. Tropez, that was kinda fun, was a young dude, he had an old VW Beetle Cabrio and it was so fucking loud and he tried to tell me something and yelled as loud as he could and I swould just smile and nodd... but both times I was with a friend, I probably wouldnīt do it alone... But another friend of mine (she is a girl which makes the whole thing even scarier) hitchhiked ALONE from Paris to Vienna. Just so you understand, she had to drive across a major part of france, all across Germany and finally all the way across Austria to Vienna. She had some amazing stories though. One time a truckdriver picked her up, and the guy was in the middle of transforming into a woman, he was the tranny-truckdriver. He took all those hormons to grow tits and told her about the gender reassignment he was going to do...

i'm off to live the dream
see ya in a week pals
..i hope
-
godspeed.
i hitchhiked once in North Carolina. everyone down there is abnormally friendly, and it seems that its a very common thing. i got to ride in the back of like 3 pickup trucks. i was syked.
-
just hop trains.
-
Only time I've ever hitched was for a 10 minute ride. I didn't even hitch myself, my friend did and I kept walking like I wanted nothing to do with it. Some not-so-attractive 20 something year old girl picked us up.
We got in and my friend was like "Don't worry about us. We're not bad people."
Hahaha.

my dad hitchiked from Boston to L.A. and got kicked off a stage by David Bowie.
but that was in the 70s...
-
I think hitchhiking in europe is alot more common
-
I hitched a few times up in Humboldt county. Good times, but nothing special. No crazy stories or anything. Just regular, hippie types. Nice folks out there in the emerald triangle.
-
my dad used to tell a 90 minute story about him hitchhiking up new york, across canada, then down to LA and back across the us to new york again. crazy shit about him jumping trains and pretty much everything you can imagine. he was actually just recollecting today about how sketchy the cops are in texas about hitchhiking.
most of my personal experiences have taken place while I'm intoxicated. I hitchhiked from my town to binghamton ny, then from there to kingston then back home. I barely remember much of it, except for telling dudes (doubt any bitch has the gall to pick my scummy ass up) that my grandmother had just passed away and I needed to visit home asap. its usually hippie folk or older backwoods men that will pick you up, I think the average citizen is pretty sketched out about hitchhikers in 2007.
on a serious note, frankerberry if your're really planning on taking a trip by means on hitching, DO NOT carry a knife or anything that could be perceived as a weapon on you. you'll have more problems than are worth if the people who were nice enough to give you a lift see that shit, or worse a cop decides to take you home and makes you empty your pockets first. be smart.

I got a boost onto his arm, then climbed up and sat on his nose.
