Hello people! Tomorrow i'm ridesharing my way up to San Francisco and from there I shall see where the world sends me. I've got a backpack and plan on urban camping until i can find my way out of the city. I plan on hitching rides, hopping trains, and floating my little bum from place to place. I've lived a very sheltered life, never leaving my home city without my entire family. I'm a skinny short dude.
Is there any thing i should know before i head out?

A short skinny dude, venturing off in to the wild unknown without a soul in the world knowing his location?

If you're camping in the city you should have a knife or gun on you. What is your goal? Why are you bumming it across country?

I'd like to rattle my own cage a bit along with gaining a more objective perspective on life. If i can isolate myself from that through which i was raised, I might just hit the core of what I was at the beginning. I'd like to live, even for a short amount of time, a life where i Know my last breath just might be around the corner. It's a weird calling i hear that needs to be hushed. Today i picked up a hitchhiker and tomorrow someone might just pick me up.
I don't truly know why but I might find out while out there.

My first thought as well, I would buy a decent knife, it will have more uses.

Depends what you mean by "urban camping'. If you are deep in a large urban park you may get away with it. Camping is banned in almost every city besides designated campgrounds and with good reason. Hobos set up camp and next thing you know its a poop and needle infested hell hole that requires a bulldozer to clear. The cops are going to view you as homeless, and really you almost are. Your trip would be better with a van.

Could always consider sail punking it. I used to sail punk as a deckhand up and down the coast. Go to the less "yuppie" looking marnas or docks, grab a shitty pole and go fishing. Don't matter if you ever catch anything. Make friends with some boat people and before you know it someone is gonna offer to let you be an extra hand on their boat as they try to travel somewhere.
Don't need much exp but you have to be willing to put in some work and learn a thing or two. Before you know it you will have an invaluable skill set for the sea and can rank up from there. Maybe get your own boat for a spell.
There are peeps giving up boats for free/ super cheap, so long as you are willing to put a little elbowgrease into making it sea worthy again.
Some of my best moments were out on the sea.
