Carry a good knife of some kind. You might get hassled by the police for this, but homeless people get killed all the time and no one investigates or gives a fuck.

Dude, I am not trying to shit on you
There are tree hammocks
But if you aren't trained properly how to enter a tree as well as trained in tying a NUMBER of certain knots I wouldn't do it its not worth the danger
Honestly if u were gonna be in the upper halfway of NJ I would drive to you and help u set the tree boat up, but I just don't think that's worth your consideration
www.treestuff.com if u decide to do that but please don't kill yourself doing it, they have tree hammocks

Oh, I was thinking about offering to host you out here for a few weeks. There's work and such, but really it would be kind of a dead end anyways.

What's so dangerous about hanging a hammock? Personally I just use a couple of halter hitches Also use another really basic knot which is similar to an alpine knot or a bowline

You can get ultralight hammocks for cheap (~$20) that barely take up any room. That would be my best recommendation provided that there are some trees in your area. Also don't forget a water canteen! Good luck. (Source: avid backpacker)

Yeah, get a new camping hammock with a mosquito net and a light weight tarp. Hammock is $20, tarp is less than $10.Cheaper if used. Also get an led flashlight, knife/multitool, music, and a lot of weed and LSD.
There are much better places to be homeless than Texas. Go somewhere nice that has a beach that has showers and fun people and nice scenery.
What will you be doing all day when you're homeless and why only a month? Are you going to try to find work and a place to live or just going on an adventure?
Good luck

Bring a pair of nail clippers, maybe a refillable water bottle as well.
I always found it useful when going on adventures to bring a few zip lock bags with me, you never know when your gonna get caught in a pissing rain storm with no shelter and can keep certain things dry like your cell phone, wallet, weed, shit like that.

Kush_Zombie said: 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.
Get yourself a bike, some bike bags, and some standard camping shit. Then use this site...

Same, I've always contemplated how bad that would suck. The thing that would bother me the most is the fact that you would NEVER be able to get comfortable in your sleep. EVER.
Not only that, but you would always be woken up at the buttcrack of dawn from construction noise and traffic and random people walking around and typical city noise. Sunlight blazing all into your eyes and on your body, and it's even worse if it's cold in the wintertime.
No wonder people booze and drug it up, they practically have to knock themselves out just to pass out for a couple hours.
I could actually stand to eat people's leftovers or go dumpster diving, but damn the inability to sleep comfortably at all would practically drive me crazy.

I was homeless for a couple months back in NAM all I can say is get a 24 hour gym membership. Shower, shave, workout every morning to start your day you'll be able to find a job in no time.

Sounds exciting man, good luck to ya.
When you do finally get back on your feet, I suggest investing in an RV, or at the very least a van, you can park where ever and always have a home sweet home.

I used to know an African guy who told stories of sleeping in trees, according to him, you tie a belt or 2 around your midsection and the adjacent branch. This way you can't fall. Good luck!

Citys are the worst and small towns are the best when your hitch hiken.
You just want to stay in a city 1 month? Boring
Then I'm coming back and getting the rest of my things so I can hopefully move there and be stable 
It's a master plan I've been working on for a while now. I'll come back to this post with pictures and stuff after the month is up and elaborate more on what's going on through my head.
I leave Saturday morning 
Your master plan involves being homeless? Fuck that sucks I was homeless for about 8 hours and said fuck this. Can always go back to ma's and was out in less than 5 days.
I slept on the floor for a couple days while I figured shit out. But I'm not going to sleep on the streets or in a tree. That's retarded. The only thing keeping me playing the game is the fact that I enjoy working and I enjoy having somewhere to go. That's all.
Sleeping inbetween 2 trees in a hammock is the best. Not knowing where your going to end up that night after you wake up is wonderful. It does get old.
Homeless is such a strong word. Its houseless. Your being is your home.
Being houseless isn't retarded if your allergic to paying rent.

I've been living on the streets since the 4th too. I have a car to sleep in though so it makes everything soon much easier. Waiting on a closure on a house in about 3 more weeks. If you can somehow get a car, your life will be way easier. I'm aware your situation is different though but just saying. I shower at my local gym and charge my phone/equip in my car also. Wash my clothes at a local laundromat.
If I were you though, the first thing I would do is set up camp in a local forest somewhere. Just like you stated, personally myself, I'd build a tree-hut or platform, then eventually add walls. Over everything else, that's what I would do first.
It's not as hard as it seems so don't take being homeless to serious. As long as you have income, your good.
