Hitchhiking in Hawaii - WWOOFing Big Island - Episode 4

About this video

A first-person travel vlog from the Big Island of Hawaii. The creator walks through Volcanoes National Park past sulfur beds, carrying a heavy pack with a $30 tent from Sears whose online order he describes being cancelled and reordered multiple times, planning to camp near the park and view steam/lava areas. He reflects positively on traveling with no money, hitchhiking, and WWOOFing on a farm, rejecting scare stories about hitchhiking and camping and saying he has had no problems. He camps free overnight, leaves before a ranger collects fees, debates trails versus heading to Kona, hitchhikes to Kona, and meets a man named Kevin who runs a music shop, tells train-hopping stories, and tips him off about a beach where he can sleep despite no-camping rules. The video ends with him showing his beach sleeping spot by the ocean at sunrise after moving from a cave-like spot to avoid being kicked out when the park closed.
