| trevor corey User Info... | If you are at all a Pearl Jam fan, this is a must have. This song is particularly good- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SVQEsKDcl2A - Mon, 31 Dec 2007 3:56pm | ||
| Adrenaline Animal User Info... | I'm not a huge Pearl Jam fan, and after having said that, this is simply an amazing album, I do however suggest seeing the movie first, the songs will have more meaning to them. Great movie, Great Album - Mon, 31 Dec 2007 5:19pm | ||

| trevor corey User Info... | I finally saw the movie tonight. Almost eerie to me how similar of experiences I was having at that same age at that same time. I was trippimg around Nevada, California, and the west coast in the early ninties too. Greatful Dead show in Vegas in 91, swimming in Lake Mead. Hanging out in L.A. with hardly any money and a borrowed car.Camping on Oregon beaches. I came back to B.C. to work on fruit farms in the southern Okanagan, and ended up in Montreal eating food bank food. The difference between me and that guy was that I never traveled alone (which made it harder to get rides), I kept in touch with moms, and I never stopped believing in the need for cash. I'm alive, he's not. - Fri, 14 Mar 2008 1:11am | ||
| Tyler User Info... | also he doesn't really seem like the kind of guy who would hang out on the internet, let alone post youtube links everywhere. just sayin. I suggest you read the book by the way, it's really good. - Fri, 14 Mar 2008 1:44am | ||
| trevor corey User Info... | I'm not saying I'm like him, not at all. I'm just sayin we had similar stomping grounds at the same age and at the same time. - Fri, 14 Mar 2008 3:12am | ||
| trevor corey User Info... | What's yer problem with utube? I'm not interested in reading the book. I only watched the movie because of the soundtrack. I think the guy was just another upper middle class jerk with mental health issues. Guys like that are a dime a dozen on the road. I am sorry for his family. I think he was extremely cruel to be such a "writer" and never even send them a letter. - Fri, 14 Mar 2008 11:29am | ||
| Tyler User Info... | just joking around with the youtube stuff, haha. I really do recommend the book though. he wasn't much of a writer just because his notes were always to himself. but the book itself is written by john krakauer who is more of an immersion journalist who recounts his research into the whole ordeal. short book, hard to put down, easy read, still really well written, and has a level of personal presence through the medium that's lost in the film adaptation. I'd say it's one of the best books I've read over the last couple years. - Fri, 14 Mar 2008 12:03pm | ||
| trevor corey User Info... | Hey Tyler, I "recommend" that you go to Keremeos or Osoyoos this summer and pick cherries. Pickers live on the farms in either picker's shacks or your own tent. There is no telephones, interwebz, cable tv, etc. When I was there we had many university students. You don't pay rent all summer, and if you work your balls off you can make a coupla hundred bucks per day. You can swim in the lakes and rivers, read all the time without modern distractions, and if you play your cards right you can hook up with a French Canadian sweetie with hairy armpits for the summer. Don't fall in love though, those traveler girls are free spirits. A summer of fruit picking, sleeping in tents on farms, and banging French chicks would toughen you up, and give you a nice bank balance to get you through another year of school. - Sat, 15 Mar 2008 4:36pm Edited: Sun, 16 Mar 2008 2:05am | ||
| Tyler User Info... | that actually sounds really good. I can't this summer, I'm planning on taking a summer semester of classes. but maybe sometime in the future. I'd love to remove myself from the instant communication and consumerism that I'm being raised to want. I did some berry picking here in Victoria but I'm sure that's a completely different experience. The berry farm employed aging immigrant workers who weren't able to pick fast enough, so they stole picked bales from my friend and I. we even caught them but the farm owner didn't care; we were new, they had been working there a long time, so they were more valuable workers. I'd like to do more picking though, it was fun and didn't take long to become skilled. which specific farms did you work at? - Sun, 16 Mar 2008 5:32am | ||
| trevor corey User Info... |  HOT, HOT, HOT. Rolling Sage in Cawston is good. Organic with bathroom/communal kitchen facilities. Tents only. Mennell orchards is also organic, with communal kitchen, bathrooms with showers and choice of tenting or lodging. My favorite was Covert farm outside of Oliver. http://www.covertfarms.ca/ They are in their fifth year of transitioning to organic. I drive up there every summer just to load up on the BEST peaches in the world. They grow EVERYTHING. Huge farm. Many employment opportunities. I suggest only working on organic farms/orchards. Learn some conversational French before you go. You seriously want to experience la belles françaises. - Sun, 16 Mar 2008 3:38pm Edited: Sun, 16 Mar 2008 3:40pm | ||
| evilkleg User Info... | "Into the Wild" is good, but check out Jon Krakauer's "Into Thin Air" about the doomed '96 Mt. Everest expedition (of which Krakauer was a member). Probably the best non fiction book I've ever read. I rarely read books more than once, but I've already read that one three times. - Thu, 10 Apr 2008 12:59pm | ||
