If I formed my own band of modern nomadic wanders, who would join me and why?

Question

I always wanted to form my own band of perpetual travelers who would go town to town, never to settle down or settle down in one place for a short time and move on. The question is would you join? The other questions; what problems would the band and I would face? How would I solve them? How should it be organized? What should such a society be based on?

Please read and consider the following guidelines before answering.

I do know some the more obvious problems for such a group, yet I decided not to give my answers to such questions to prevent people from getting stuck on what I say and in hopes of supplying solutions and questions I may have not considered. So if you say "What will we do for money?" for example, I am expecting a in depth, specific and detailed solution from you. Same idea when asking questions or presenting a problem, "Where should we store our money?". This should be replaced with "The problems I see is where to store our money. If not stored in banks, we could be targets for robbers. Yet if we use banks someone will have to manage the account, how do we make sure the person is kept accountable of handling the band's funds?" Keep this in mind when you present an answer or a potential problem.
Also thinks of other issues besides money. The more the better.

I am half serious when asking this question.

However if I get enough and plenty of responses, I will place some serious effort into this to get it started. No joke. The ones with best, in depth responses will be picked to help me plan this endeavor, provided I can contact you through your profile. Such people will be picked to help with everything from what to name our band, more day to day issues and even be considered to positions of leadership.

That is if I get serious and massive amount of responses.

The following is a response to a question.

gimmenamenow asks:
Does everyone just do what they're good at and what money they make is put into the group fund? Or do you keep your money for yourself, but it's kinda understood that if someone can't afford a meal, everyone chips in?

I hope for a group fund for if the individuals contribute by themselves voluntary basis, the group will splinter. Individual sacrifice for a group keep a group's bonds strong.
I however realise a group fund will cause problems among the group also. People are greedy and mistrusting by nature and if someone got a hand on all their funds, arguements and corruption will result. So the question is finding a balance between the two and how to make it effective. The best idea I can come up with is a tithe. How to enforce this or make people always willing to pay this without violence or any type of force would be the question and how to manage this fund without embezlement and corruption forming is another

The following is a response to another question.
gimmenamenow asks: I'm not big on panhandling or pickpocketing. Does everyone just do what they're good at
People will do what they previously did for a living provided it travels well. Panhandling, pickpocketing and other such behavior will not be torlerated. THis brings up the question on how to clamp down on disgraceful and crimminal behavior within the group. I'd prefer non-violent solutions and using as little outside interference as possible. One idea is be selective of who joins our group. Why deal with problem people when you could prevent them joining in the first place. Any other ideas will be welcomed.
How to get around, the idea I have is use the group fund for traveling and housing exspenses. As a group, they decide where to go next, where the jobs are plenty. Individually they split up and meet there with there means paid for by the group. Then use the group fund to pay for hotel exspenses and other temp shelter.

Answer 1

Food's the big issue here. If we weren't nomadic, it wouldn't be a problem. Game isn't as plentiful as it used to be, so we're down to actually earning money somehow. I'm not big on panhandling or pickpocketing... is it a travelling commune? Does everyone just do what they're good at and what money they make is put into the group fund? Or do you keep your money for yourself, but it's kinda understood that if someone can't afford a meal, everyone chips in? As for how we get around, I'd say an old Volkswagon bus, or something along those lines. Everyone chips in on gas and maintenance.....
As for who's in charge, everyone should be in charge. All major issues are voted upon and approved by the majority. If you purchase something with your money and you want it to be yours, you let everyone know, "Hey, this is mine, don't touch it." and if they mess with it, they're buttholes, and you can kick them in the shins. (It's my old concept of Peaceful Anarchy at work here.) I'm sure I can think of more things, but I'll see what else comes up here and edit.

Answer 2

i would join this band of nomadic wanders, because i don't see myself ever staying in just one place. the many problems that we would face are thoses of everyone and more, we would have to find shealter (you could solve this with maybe a car), food (we could get jobs so we can buy it), where we would go (find a map of the usa and take turns picking), how we would get there(hitch-hike, buy a car, walk), and when would we move on.

it could be lead by the smartest, the best-looking, or the person who owns the car.

it could be based on going where we could find jobs, where we find adventure, or where we could find excitement.

Answer 3

Oh, you mean like the Grateful Dead and the Deadheads.
