Going homeless for a month. Tips?
#23552345 - 08/18/16 06:22 AM (7 years, 5 months ago) |

I'm going to a town 5 hours away and I was originally just going to sleep in the truck with my ride but my ride bailed on me so now I'll be heading to that city and when I get there I won't have a place to stay SO I'm hitting the streets for a month.
The main concerns I have are showers, not getting my stuff robbed, and finding a place to sleep.
For the showers and not getting my stuff robbed, I think I'm going to get the cheapest membership I can at Planet Fitness so I can use their showers and lockers 24/7.
Finding a place to sleep seems like it'll be a bit trickier. Rather than hitting an alleyway or somewhere under a bridge, I'm thinking about climbing a tree and just falling asleep there. Any idea if that's possible? Never really slept in a tree before.
Also, what should I pack? I know I'll need to pack light but how many pairs of each clothing should I take? Doesn't get too cold around here and the place I'm going has a lot of homeless people already.

When you go to sleep turn the light off. It's as simple as that.

Unless your going to a shelter, my advice is dont hang around under a bridge with a bunch of crazy junkies.
For sleep, i use to sleep in a library at a local university during the day, they even had showers there.
Sounds like you have money tho for a membership, i was completely broke in the center of Alaska and winter was approaching rapidly.
Pack plenty of water and nonperishables, charge your phone in outlets outside gas stations or maybe a shitty waffle house

Going homeless near my town or going homeless in that city doesn't seem to make much of a difference to me except the city I'm going to has more to offer me 
Getting there and back isn't the problem, the problem lies in what I'm going to do when I get there.

No.. Just no.. Unless you don't like working .. One day I was busting my ass with a chainsaw at work when the boss arrived with this homeless kid he just picked up on the side of the road... The kid had a secured job but decided to wok the day and not return the day after.... Some people prefer to be homeless than work , I think that is what usually happens here..... Op if you are willing to bust your ass just make a sign saying you are looking for work.... Eventually you will find someone who will get u work , feed you and even shelter you..... I see it all the fucking time

Check into temp agencies if you don't have a job lined up. They're shit work, but you can save up a few hundred per week and be set to rent a place out in three weeks or so.
If you can get a solid paying job before that, then even better. Try to get what free food you can so you don't set yourself back on getting a place from buying too much junk food. Eat canned foods and fruit, not fast food.
Try to find national Forest as you can set up camp for free. That or homeless shelters. Shower at truck stops when necessary.

Socks. Pack lots of socks. Nothing will ruin your day faster than crusty or wet socks will.

I can see myself now carrying a piece of plywood across the city to get it to my tree of choice.
I really think I'm going to try the tree idea (just sleeping in it, not building a tree house). I think I can manage to take a fall and learn my lesson if worst comes to worse.
So I've generated a list of the things I believe I'll be needing:
Toothpaste Toothbrush Comb 7 pairs of underwear 7 pairs of socks 3 pairs of jeans (so I can wear one while I do my laundry on the other two) A good jacket (for nights just in case) 4 shirts Soap Floss My electric razor (it holds a good charge and doesn't take long to charge so I can plug it in when I find an outlet for my phone to charge on) and a Towel
For food that I'll carry with me on hand, I'll probably just take a container of peanut butter I'll get more stuff along the way.
Anything else anyone thinks I should add?

Yeah, a hammock would be nice. I'm trying to stay well hidden though from other homeless people and junkies and whatnot. Plus I want to preferably stay in the city when I sleep instead of hiking out into the woods every afternoon to pitch the hammock.
