    I travel a lot. I have a backpack hat doubles as my laptop case and can hold a change of clothing. It also holds a few granola bars and some jerky, Starbuck's Via instant iced coffee packets, K20 Protein water packets, dehydrated soup and I keep a camelback water container in it. Sometimes I work in the middle east or South America. When that happens I also carry a water filter and a Spot personal locator beacon. The last time I carried a 15 watt folding solar panel that charged my phone and ipad really well.

    I got a rolling suitcase from Tuesay Morning on sale. It holds a weeks worth of clothes, work boots, sandals, Atkins bars, tuna packets, Vienna sausages, cooking spices, Tide travel packs for washing my own clothes. I also carry vitamins, zantac Imodium and prescription antibiotics.

    I carry Vienna sausages, slim jims and jerky for the guys on the job. They can't get anything like it and really miss cholesterol laden pork fat products after a while. I can live for about 2 months with what I carry with me when leave the US. It means I'm usually washing something every day or so. The spices come in handy when someone catches a really big fish or makes a deal in town for half a lamb. I have created barbecue parties out of tin air because I had a good collection of dry spices.

    Keep in mind that after the apocalypse, the right spices can turn your neighbor's annoying mutt into a feast!

    Yessirree! Can you even imagine food without salt? After the Apocolypse salt will be like gold

    When famous western explorers Lewis and clarks men reached the pacific coast some of them couldn't wait to get back to Blackfeet territory so they could have some delicious dog meat instead of nasty ol salmon day after day lol

    I don't know where you are, but in the states (and most states) you have a right to what is often called "quiet enjoyment". That is, you have legal rights as a tenant that the landlord can't violate, and throwing out your chicken and jerking off in your bathtub, etc is a violation of that.

    It's more complicated if the landlord is also a roommate.

    There may be a legal aid organization that can help you.

    Getting out sounds good though.

    meagin had some solid advice, but i wouldn't want to wear flip flops if you plan on walking any considerable distances. they are terrible for your feet. i took only flip flops with me on my honeymoon to mexico and my feet were fuckin killing me for a week after that. wear good shoes...they don't take up any space :)

    good luck though man.


    living in the city out of a suitcase is a little different than backpacking and living in the woods.

    Stop whining and just get your shit together, then you won't have to worry about it.

    Get a cheap storage unit and sleep on couches for awhile. I've been there.

    What the hell? You should just beat the shit out of him, at least punch him in the jaw. You think he's going to call the cops so that kind of stuff can get out? Lol.

    Sounds like you need to flip the script on him, maybe show him some kind of evidence you have on him. Get a video camera in your room. Then punch him in the face.
