if u are going to hk i wouldnt worry about literature. for alcohol and tobacco, there will be a clearly displayed limit on the amount you can bring through without paying some tax or being denied or whatever. usually its a lot, like several bottles of liquor or a few cartons of cigs or something before they give a shit. dry packaged foods such as tea are fine, they just stop produce and fruit and animals. but for any illegal drugs like weed just forget about it. you gotta be in the know, and youll be a clueless foreigner, and the potential consequences for it can be extreme

buy a used car that's only 2 years old and date a stripper
come on, young buck, all the other guys are doin it

>>35701
2 years old car for 2k?
lol op your best bet would be to buy a decent late 90s car for $1000. Then smoke weed for the rest of the money. thats what i would do.

>>35702
For every 10 guys that get out of bootcamp 12 of them go get financed for a 2-4 year old "newish" car. Some get married to girlfriend material so they can get that bonus pay.

1.2 miles to the cig? Shamtastic bag of dicks, ain’t you, private? Take the local motorcycle safety course, all the army’s bullshit programs, sign the “reflector belts deflect oncoming trucks” statement, and post a wanted ad at CIF’s building-to-parking-lot fence gate (“ETS time? Sell me your bike so you can pay CIF to spray paint your e-tool themselves!”, the dfac, and Craigslist.

Also, don’t ETS. The grass ain’t greener in civvies. Don’t fuck strippers either. And don’t you or your battles tell prospective long term relationships you’re military til after you’ve been together a couple months- the dependasaurus will sit its fat ass on the couch and eat all your money while complaining and denying you sex.

First team, first string, tankers lead the way

you lose the majority of your heat sleeping through the ground. an insulated layer to sleep on is the highest priority, even leaves is better than nothing. try to get a nice sleeping mat. also wear a beanie over your ears to conserve heat n keep out bugs

>>35591

I'm no tent expert, but unless you're deep in the forest, I'd recommend skimping on the tent and getting yourself a solid sleeping bag. Exposure is a real thing almost year-round in most places, and a big, airy tent or cold metal car aren't going to help much.

>>35591
The tent isn't really going to insulate. Don't pay too much for a tent but use that money to get a good sleepingbag and mat.

>>35591
In my experience, much of which was gained living in the tent in the left in your image (the one on the right is an embark 2man that my fiancé and I used as storage at that time), you’re going to want something in the 2-4man range, with a tarp underneath and another over the top. “Waterproof” doesn’t last long. You’re still going to need good ventilation, so don’t burrito the tent. Paracord and bowline knots help immensely. Dig a rain trench around the tent, and make sure you’re not in a flood plain.
A cot couldn’t hurt but that’s a longer term item. A tall airbed with a rug under it will save your back.
Get a two burner propane camp stove, fast food isn’t a good long-term solution.
As has been said itt: no insulated tents (hence tarps), don’t sleep directly on the ground (add layers or altitude), and get a good sleeping bag. My bag was rated for 0f and kept me toasty in the embark my first new year’s without walls. Pic related, this is that tent new year’s day on the pacific coast.


If you’re positive you can maintain your vehicle, trade for a van and stick your mattress in the back. Honestly, if you intend to unfuck your life in under the five years it took me, get a van, deck it out all cozy-like, and do your best to blend into the background. Moving a few hours away might help in that regard.
Don’t get an rv, they’re cop magnets and they generally get run out of town. A minivan blends in well, a full size van is more comfortable but blends slightly less.
Walmart, Home Depot, 24-hour grocery stores, and some shopping center parking lots are usually safe places to sleep in a vehicle. Keep yourself and your vehicle legal or kiss it goodbye. You might find an acquaintance’s METHod a bit more your style- move every several hours from one known safe spot to another from your list of many spots to kill time that you’re gonna want to mentally make in the first couple months.

If your vehicle looks scuzzy and/or lived-in at first glance, expect to have tweakers, crackheads, and/or junkies trying to sell to or buy from you regularly. Keep it clean or you might start losing things (including bits of yourself).

Good luck out there.

i dont think you will escape spiders on this earth unless you go to freezing cold places. so maybe nepal

Dude, what is Uruguay doing in that list? And why would you want to go so specifically to Uruguay? To get an abortion? Buy free weed?

Anyway, as far as Uruguay goes, the furthest away you get from the city, the bigger the spiders will get. I'm guessing you won't get monster-african-spiders like you may find in Ethiopia though.

'02 accord coupe V6 EX here. just bought it last week for $2800 @137k miles.
Feel like i got a really sweet deal. Would like to do a manual transmission swap sometime soonish. Haven't even scratched 100 miles on it yet and already in love big time.
pic related but not mine. this ones missing the V6 badge and engine i'd imagine.

Got my the powerstroke back running today. Fuel pump died on me doing 70 on the highway, and I've been having to drive my other truck for work for over a month waiting til a had a day to replace the pump. Feels good man.

those old 7.3's are good. real good.

My 1969 Buick Skylark GS under restoration. I picked her up more or less as a body,chassis, and motor for $5500. I'm about 85% done with the outside, now working on the interior and rewiring. My goal is to have her road worth by mid july.

Update: Decided I'm not going to do the 10g of Weed & take Xanax in suitcase as it's easy I've done it 8 times now high amounts.

So for the international package it would be things they would see what look to be coins made of organic matter (the hash and concentrates) was going to put into a sealed birthday card along with a book

I've lost my passport and all my ID in a foreign country before and it was a surprisingly flawless experience to get home. I am an EU citizen though.

Hey bro im lurking deep and im just gunna say hope you know what youre doing with drugs before you drop ina foreign land lmao

Here's what you'll need to know:
What drugs are availiable in your destination (obviously)
What quality issues do the drugs have (Fentanyl pressed into Xanax shape and Weed laced with Heroin are problems in my area)
How the drugs are distributed (Triads? Terrorists?)
What legal status do they have
What can be safely combined
What controlled environment can you have (can you manage to stay in your fucking hotel room?)
How persons of your nationality treated by your destination's legal system (depending on circumstances, doing time over there could beat getting deported and possibly prosecuted back home)

you'd better plan on staying in your hotel room for when you experiment. Sober tourists are easy pickings, as are user tourists that know how to be high.

>>35685

>Weed laced with Heroin

makes sense. must be worth it.

>>34685

Ok, I realize this was posted months ago, but I want to share what's available in SE Asia for westerners. Every country is indeed different, but there's definitely drug staples in the area.

To begin, Ya ba is available everywhere, which is basically just meth pressed into a pill and possibly cut and stretched with other stim RCs, but the vast majority are just meth. You might think it would be hard to get, but Ya Ba absolutely exists in all the major touristy towns in Thailand, Vietnam, and Cambodia. They definitely exist in Laos and Burma, but those two countries aren't as accustomed to tourists. Bar girls (SE Asian slang for cute girls that are human trafficked in from poorer countries to be sex workers and generally make the bar more inviting) usually use Ya Ba at least occasionally.

You have the usuals, such as weed, which half the tuk tuk drivers will either offer to sell you some or to go get it. Despite this, do NOT smoke weed in SE Asia. If you really want weed, buy "Happy Pizzas" which are pizzas with weed cooked in. Because the weed is absolute trash compared to US/Canada, if you're a smoker you'll want the edibles anyways. If you eat a happy pizza in a sit down joint, they've already paid off the local police and they will not arrest you as long as you consume it inside. This is why I would be wary of mobile stands selling happy pizzas.

Shrooms are extremely popular if you're in the right place, such as the full moon parties every month. They're usually sold as shroom shakes. Again though, if you can't consume it in a sit down place, consume it as fast as reasonably possible and never under any circumstances travel with it.

Similarly, there are sit down places you can find poppy pod tea (PPT) but that's mostly just in Thailand and Laos (dunno about Burma). Again drink it inside and never travel with it, even if they offer to sell you raw opium. you can eat the opium and it's just as efficient as vaping it, but don't possess it outside.

Drugs that pretty much DO NOT exist in SE Asia: Cocaine, real MDMA, and psychedelics apart from shrooms. Sure you might get real LSD in Bangkok if you know a young local, but statistically it doesn't exist or it's an RC. If someone offers you Cocaine or Ecstasy on the street, especially both, it's either bunk, meth, or heroin.

Never ever buy on the street from random people who are offering you anything apart from maybe weed, and even then it could be a set up.

>weed laced with heroin

these days it seems like I can't find any weed that isn't laced with heroin

I think it's like if the alignment is bent or some bushings are gone you could overload the steering. I don't drive around in a fancy car on full lock like some people

anyway I still never use full lock.

just add the right fluid to power steering.

Subaru guru here. Air in the loop, open the power steering reservoir and look inside, have someone turn the wheel lock to lock, if you see air bubbles there's your problem. Common subaru fault but cheap to fix.

2 most common locations for this, the orings ontop of the power steering pump, on the plastic inlet piece, get crusty and allow air to get sucked in, other location is the spring clamps that hold the hoses to the reservoir itself, they don't seal very well if it ever gets moved. Slap some traditional worm drive hose clamps on there and call it a day.

I'd do both, cheap >$5 fix and shouldn't take more than an hour. Don't bother doing this if you don't see bubbles in the reservoir when doing the test noted above.

Holy goddamn fuck, I didn't expect this to still be alive.

I'm now at 104k miles. It was my serpentine belt that was paper thin. It was apparently the original one that came with the vehicle. After the replacement, I'm mostly sound free... Except for the rusting heat shield on my exhaust. Still loving the car. It might be slow, it's not the flashy, but it does the thing I need it to do.

>>33994

Yup, the serpentine belt was worn down to practically nothing.

>>35552
Nah, terrible advice. The norks are actually pretty rough on defectors, don't get me wrong, you won't Otto Warmbier'd but you'll get your shit slapped whenever and your movements will be very limited. Plus your dating pool will just be other defectors and captives, all of whom have worm ass.

And to get to NK, you're going through either SK, Rashka, or Chinamanland. Risky business with all three.

>suggests Mexico, a country with extradition treaties to the US

Mexico is a prime example of horrible on paper, decent in reality, until you actually come across the law. Still, I would never risk it knowing they could detain and deport me at any time. Perhaps Mexico would be a good choice if your passport was lost/taken from you and you live in the US, as it shares a land border and it's easy to get across without a passport if you hide in the trunk or otherwise get lucky. Perhaps one could attempt to fly out of Mexico to their final destination, but if you're actually wanted for something serious (not tax evasion or something minor), you could easily be detained and deported in the airport. It seems that traveling further south to an anti-american country that won't deport would be the best bet.

>>35649

>Thread about places to live FREELY outside my country of origin, particularly nice places to live
>Suggests stupid countries and to purposefully go to jail there, aka not being free at all

Are you sure you're posting in the right thread? Just assume for the sake of this thread that you've got at least six figures USD already and you have zero interest in committing violence, more crime, or whatever dumb shit your heart seems to desire for some reason that is derailing the piss out of the thread, lol.

Are there really no better contenders than Vietnam/Cambodia/Laos? It seems like there's no other place in the world without extradition treaties, lax land borders, cheap cost of living, decent enough treatment of foreigners, decently high levels of English speaking, and rather low levels of terrorism/government conflict etc. If one of the three countries decides they want to deport/assist in extraditing you, you can just hop over to another of the three.

>being a whiny little bitch when you don't receive ace-level spy advice from a drug board

lol what did you expect?

>>35671

how exactly would you get anywhere in an airport if you were wanted to the point where you'd be extradited from a foreign country (you wont even get extradited to counties in the same state for misdemeanor warrants sometimes)? doesn't seem realistic in 2018. your best bet would be south of the border,changing identity.

>>35683

It's all about the countries you fly out of, and if they assist the US in extradition. Depending on the crime, Mexico would definitely assist them. The obvious answer is to travel by car south through the border, on through Mexico, until you reach another South American country that doesn't extradite (I need to do research, but I'm thinking like maybe...Colombia? Definitely Venezuela for sure?). Then you fly direct into your final destination if possible, or if you MUST do a connecting flight, make sure the connecting country doesn't assist the US in extradition.

The UAE is well known not to extradite, and they're also one of the most popular connecting flight countries. They only issue I can see with SE Asia is a LOT of the connecting flights land in Bangkok first, and Thailand extradites. So yeah, it's absolutely doable, you just can't really show up to the ticket counter saying "I want to pay in cash, one way, and the connecting flight countries need to be so and so," lol.

if you get to your embassy you are good man, you are a fuckin citizen there and you will have safe haven unless the us sees fit to extradite you to italy which i dont see happening over visas. you will probably be billed for the transport home if they arrange it for you, but i do not think you would be detained at your own embassy
