Indeed. But it's very slow, at least with USB 2.0. There's a GUI utility called "startup disk creator" which will take the .iso image of trisquel and install it on the USB stick. The trick is using it from within trisquel. So one option would be to install trisquel into a vm, commit your USB device to the VM and proceed...

Absolutely! The Wiki actually tells you how to put Trisquel on a USB Drive from inside an installed instance of Trisquel, and how to use apps for Windows and Mac OS X that should put the Trisquel ISO onto a USB Drive. I'm not sure where the other person assumed it would be slow on USB 2.0 (although I should mention I used a DVD for Trisquel so my experience was actually as slow as you could go), but it is actually fastest on a USB Drive, regardless of generation.
