do you know tribal living forum?

might be worth a gander if not :group_hug

Cheers tankgirl, yeah i know tribal living :wink:- cool site and helpful peoples on it 🙂

I guess alot of folk in trucks/vans etc dont bother with the internet as its a bit of an arse to keep charging lappys etc when you are ‘square wheeled’ and just use the old tried and tested method of finding out if theres something on – talking to people face to face!! I cant see me living without the internet again so a new tiny laptop is in order for me on the move i thinks. Ive ordered a wifi aerial for outside the van so hopefully i can blag a few open internets without having to park up right outside the hotspot.

Wormfood – get yerself a van mate. Fuck the license. Even if its parked up outside a mates or in a a nice spot off the road to live in. Its such a good feeling to wake up in yer van knowing you aint giving away all your hard earned (or not hard earned 😉 ) cash to Mr Brown and his cronies and the people ya meet along the way are great.

I never had any idea of the amount of folks living in vans until i lived in mine and met heaps and EVERY one of them were sound as a pound and all helping each other out like proper wee communities should. raaa

Boy racers can be bit bit arseholey sometimes though, thinking its funny to wake ya up with horns and revs outside yer van until they see a half naked scotsman charging out a van at 3am screaming some choice words with a large piece of metal in hard. They usually get the message pretty quickly..

Some of the proper old school travellers must of had some great times back in the day when there wasnt so much red tape about where you can and cant park/party etc eh..

-Mr Mojo Risin- coming to town town near you soon 😀

hiyas mate (ive saw you posting over at Tribal living too 😉 )

if the van is legal theres no way they can tow and crush it- its not theirs. they can impound it if its illegally parked but you can go back round the compound with your 100 odd quid and get it back from them and find a new place to live. im not suggesting anyone drives without a license but living in a van doesnt mean ya need a ticket to drive – a good park up off the road is all ya need or stay TOTALLY legal and keep 2 fingers nice and clean so they sparkle when yer giving the council them from the comfort of yer legal van 😀

But yeah as ya say – England is really fucked up when it comes to camping eh. I lived in my van down in Cornwall/SW for a while and fuck the hassles i got were unreal! I knew EVERY one of the clampers by name and even had environmental health waking me up at between 1-5am a few times trying to move me on! wtf is that about? It doesnt take long to figure out where is hot and wheres not though and how to avoid being clamped/towed.

And finally – A big boo hoo to the governments and councils though who are trying to squeeze every penny out of us all. Even when we are trying not to take anything to do with them they still want our blood. Fuck them all
