    Sometimes it becomes more important to let people find their own Way, which includes making mistakes....and unlees you can somehow divorce yourself from the jeopardy of their decisions, then you will be at the whim of others and not self-empowered, but dependent upon their whim for your well being.

    a lose / lose situation

    See needed change in the Way the bus is "owned"
    ....for "owning" it can make it and the actions of those on it - own you.

    Blessings to all

    Namaste

    TRUTH!!!!!

    we have thought of creating a thc co-op though its difficult with motor veichles, a corporation would be the asiest as it then becomes an independant entity...though many kids get frighten off with the word corporation....

    keeping the buses in my name help to make sure kids dont come up here talk a talk and then go joyriding in a 10 grand bus....

    or at least I thought....

    its a hard place to be, tryin to grow the community and have it utopic as possible .....its a pain in the ass sometimes it really just has to be " this is the way it is take it or leave it attitude" though I have tried that as well and it pisswes folk off, albiet Id piss off a few they cause some trouble for me but the tribe grew becasue of the decisions....its the old the end justifies the means argument....

    these days I have too much on my plate to deal with problems....

    good advice though old wolf as always

    peace!!

    in other news thc 10 arrived packed full of tools air compressoprs, industrial hearters, foam, inverters brand new furnace in a bok, drills, table saw, amps speakers a 42 inch tv, carpet, so many finishing tools, nail gun, three cans of trem clad paint, a spray gin, a welder,m new masks gloves and acceccories....rollls of funky fabric


    man this dude is right down with the tribe and kicked us down literally everyting we need to build this bus!@!!! he's also dropping off lumber this week and a vw body for the roof next week......and more crap coming!!! supposedly a huge ass role of leather....

    so its like a bus builders dream come true!!!

    so er ya next group of kids wanting to get tribe going and hit the road, get in contact with me.

    Ill help you build the bus teach you what you need to know show you the rulles, put you threw a few trials and tribulations getting it on the road....all the good stuff you'll need to deal with you there....and if you make it threw, if you can get a bunch of kids together maintain tribe, satisfyu me that your going to keep the tribe growing...your off on the THC 10....

    no destination set the bus isnt even built yet, got a few floor plans in mind though...

    so get your donations together get on a bus train plane car van bike or ski doo and get your asses up to the niagra region in canada...and lets get this next bus on the road...

    I have 2 other buses promised to me so I need to get this bus going sooner then later...

    I just saw this thread and had to sign up just to post in it;

    I'm living in Niagara Falls right now, just got back from the west coast. I've been roadtripping around for the last little while seeing whatever I could of (mostly) Canada.

    If you need any help with the bus or anything give me a shout. I would love to come along for a ride sometime.

    Gear here with more of (Nothing Special)[​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG]Get on the bus people. You do not have to wait for it to come to you. I hiked and hitched to Arizona and just happened to walk up on THC. For those how do not care for the cold come to Arkansas and I will teach you the skills to keep cash in hand as you travel and you may get a bus handed to you.
