who ever is riding in th epassenger seat makes hemp jewerly, You will be shocked when you see how well they sell in the spring and summer.
Buy some Beads and Hemp and you can sell decent ones for 10-15 each or more or less, depending on what your making.
People will buy em.
On the west coast expecially.
In some towns you can do grueling labor ay labor ready, You get paid the same day, and can bust your ass and make 60 for the day lol buts it cash whne ya need it.
Bring a tent and also a book of hostals with ya, this will save ya lots of money
If you really want to spemnd some time doing the country, look up "rainbow family" or rainbow family of living light" and follow there gatherings they usually spend a month in each nat'l forest.
You will eat and live totaly free. and meet some interesting people, and some cool women.
but you can t be hippie phobic and have to be willing to stay away from Mc Donalds for a while
Anyhow these things worked for me.
We also did drive away driving other peoples cars, but you have to pay for gas.
