"Squatting is the act of occupying an abandoned or unoccupied space or building, usually residential,[1] that the squatter does not own, rent or otherwise have permission to use. Squatting is significantly more common in urban areas than rural areas, especially when urban decay occurs"

Just be alert and ready to run.
Builders, real estate agents, whoever... often call the cops before they even ask you to piss off/move on, so if you have been spotted just move.

I've squatted at a few abandoned houses, only ever for a few days at a time. Travel with only what you can carry. Don't carry one of those 400 dollar packs either, because then the cops will know that you're just looking to have fun rather than being a true vagabond.

You are one judgmental misinformed soul.
I'm not a free loader, and I'm one of the most respectful people around. I just don't agree with the amount of abandoned homes/buildings when here in Oz for example, theres a housing crisis.
If I'm asked to leave by the legal owner, I'd gladly comply. I'd attempt to fix/renovate the property as much as possible and generally be a good neighbor.
My friend is doing his masters in Physics, he squatted for 1yr because he couldn't afford renting. Not all squatters "have no respect" but are rather choosing a temporary way of life.

Whats funny about that statement is that the owners don't care about the property otherwise it wouldn't go unused for years on end.

Yes you have absolutely no respect for other people. I could rape and kill women and have a masters in physics, who the fuck cares what education I have?
My parents and I moved to San Diego years ago, and had our neighbor spot squatters in the house. They cranked the AC bill a couple hundred dollars. No fucking respect.
I hope the police catch you.

Stop trolling. Comparing squatting to raping and killing people is trolling. Stop doing that. Thank you.

I don't care if the police catch me. Thats my point...
Legally I won't be doing anything wrong. Morally I won't be doing anything wrong.
I understand your experience with squatters was a negative one, but don't stereotype.
It's like camping for free in a forest, do those people have "no fucking respect" either?

Why, can you not afford to rent?
Not having a place of your own sucks.

Well at the moment I still live with my parents.
I'm moving to the other side of the world next year, and I'm thinking it would be a good experience.

I've slept in abandoned places way out in bumfuck nowhere for a night a few times, but more out of adventure than necessity. They were all places where it was pretty doubtful that I would be discovered, so I can't really offer any good advice.
Good luck though man.

just be sure to clean up after yourself if you're planning on crashing long enough to where your presence is noticed.
if the place is dirtied up, try to spot clean or make your new home somewhat presentable. definitely clean up syringe needles laying around.
be sure to get out of there before the sun comes up, if squatting at a construction site.
have fun. and be safe
