Homeless Tips

I thought a thread about tips for being homeless could be nice.
I'll start. Acquire 1$, make your way to a 7/11. Generally they are warm and dry so I like to read magazines. Buy a nice bowl of instant ramen and head to the coffee machines, fill with boiling water and use chopsticks to eat.
Wa la. Sometimes I do this now even with a home and good food. Nothing beats the atmosphere of 7/11 at 3a.m

If you go to convenience stores like 7/11 late at night and ask politely if they have any food they are going to be throwing away, you may just walk out with an armload.

All readable matter in the above post is ficticious... any similarities to real life are purely coincidental. Blessing.

lol, how cold does it get in winter? I think its nicer to work and not be homeless but thats just me. Pretty hard to get shrooms when you are homeless.

I generally dont tip the homeless unless they provide me a service of some sort and cleaning my windshield with their urine soaked rags dont count, that's a disservice

Tips #1: Ensure that you don't have a home to go to.
Tip #2: Do not acquire a home to go to.
That's all I have. I've never been homeless I don't know WTF I'm talking about. But I want to read other people's tips.

You'd be really surprised how easy it is.
Buddy of mine lived on a commune and he would put pasteurized cow shit in a field, inoculate it with a section of mycelium, and put a kiddy pool over it to make a large cake. That bulk grow was a main source of happiness for years and money as well.

so many homeless people are bad at being homeless people. A couple days ago I was at subway and a guy came down and sat next to me and my girlfriend asking for money. an employee asked him to leave, and he asks me "am I bothering you?" and I was like "yeah you are, so gtfo outta here!", then I kicked his butt on the way out and everyone there was LoLing like crzy

You don't have to lie to kick it scum bag.
You don't have a girlfriend, that was your 13 year old sister, and you didn't kick his ass you grabbed it, not too mention everyone was laughing at you not with you.
Scummy douche.

I've never been homeless in a city but spent the entire year last year in a tent while searching for work and trying to make my photography go somewhere. I used every minute of free time I had while homeless, and I got a photo published by National Geographic and eventually found some work that didn't make me want to kill myself.
Only tips I can give for being homeless in rural area is:
Hide your camp site extremely well, even if it means you have to walk further. Cover your trails up after using them. If someone(including other homeless people) stumbles across your tent they tend to destroy them and anything you have there, I don't know why. They will also steal anything you have of value.
Never camp with or near other homeless people, they are typically either mentally ill or addicted to some substance, usually alcohol or pills.
You don't want to be carrying water for long distances, so camp somewhere near a water source either natural or man made. This can be something as simple as a water spigot behind a store or public building like a library. In my case it was a spring. 
Never tell or hint anyone that you are homeless. They will assume you are an addict 100% of the time, you won't find work if you tell people you're homeless, people have no sympathy for your struggle.
Keep your site clean, and even if only plan on being there for a week or more, make it look nice, it will keep your spirits up.
Stay positive, few people can handle your situation and fewer can enjoy it. Just be glad you get to experience it.
-------------------- ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Homeless tips:
Be clean. It helps when talking to strangers. No one is comfortable with someone who reeks like trash and is covered in filth coming up to them asking for money, it's clear the money won't help you because you are doing nothing to help yourself.
Be nice. There is never a need to be bitter when you are homeless. It's your fault/choice that you are in this predicament, your actions and decisions lead you there, and the kindness of others will lift you up. You reap what you sow, so fucking smile when you meet people.
Don't always ask people for money when you are down and out, sometimes what you need is companionship and someone to talk to. Don't pigeon hole your adventure with "I need more money"
Lower your standards of what you will consume to live. It's temporary.
If you have a vehicle, get a gas jug. People are way way more likely to give you a little bit of gas at a pump than money, and you'd be surprised when you walk up clean and polite, how easy it is.
Prepare for climate depending on where you are. If you are headed to cali, don't go into death valley broke with half a tank.
Bring plastic bags for your shoes. An umbrella. Duct tape. A solid knife.
Trespassing into abandoned buildings is your friend if you let it be, it could also be your demise.
When you do get food don't over eat. Just eat til you aren't hungry anymore and ration.
Don't bum money and buy smokes and booze with it. Fuck you if you do. People need money to live, your addiction can wait.
places that are open to help you:
Truck stops for bathing libraries to stay warm and entertained College campuses are amazing. If you just wait by the door smoking a cig or reading a book etc, someone will let you in.....free showers, free swimming pool, free gym. Food pantries Salvation armys Churches
I'll add more later.

After getting to know and living with a group of squatters that overtook my downstairs house in Hillsboro one time, I really don't help the homeless crusty punk kids out anymore. They'd come home with $150-$200 between five of them from panhandling and it'd be gone on booze, weed and junkfood by the end of the night.
I eventually kicked them the fuck out and forced them on the road. One finally fell off a train. Fuckers never paid rent, never tried to clean, trashed the place and when one fell off a train while they were hopping, I was like "whoops, guess he won't be squatting here again."
One of my dumbfuck roommates at the time let them crash at the house for a weekend and they stayed for a month, parked their shitty van in front of the house and broke it...

I don't either.
I help travelers out, people who were hit with hardships, people that decided to throw caution to the wind and experience.
If I can see you are wasted, or you are wearing a black flag shirt, peace.
One time I gave two crust punks a couple slim jims and some IPAS, rare form for me. Dude cracks the beer and instantly spits it out, and does the exact same with the slim jim. "These taste like shit". I almost got out of my car and fucking smashed his face with the rest of my beers.
When I was traveling to travel, not going to festivals but camping in state parks and living in my van, I did it by choice. I quit smoking cigarettes, and I quit drinking. If they were offered to me I would take them, but I would never spend money on them.
I try to give food and clothing and clean water above all.

ahhhh being homeless... this thread is bringing back the memories...
ok so where do we start...
1. Dont listen to most of what Tmethyl said.. you are gonna wanna get a crew of scumbag friends to make the time go by better. (most people are not homeless because they wanna take pictures and get a better job. i congratulate you doing that tho, thats awesome)
2. You are gonna want to find a way to make some money. Flying a sign is a pussy way to do this unless you have no legs. If you have an old guy in your scumbag crew, you can get him to tell everyone hes a homeless vet. Keep in mind you never told them he was a military vet, hes a heroin Vet so you arent lying... if you dont wanna be a pussy, find a hustle. Pick up cans and recycle, rob people and sell their stuff, beat up other homeless people for their money, get in with your dealer and start dealing drugs yourself.
3. Find a safe spot where you wont be bothered. No one likes waking up to the cops at yer spot or to a group of skater kids bashing your head in with the trucks of their board cause you a low life (this happened to a friend)
which leads to this one...
4. Never stay alone when its avoidable. Its a sad sad world out there, make sure you dont skip step 1. it will keep you safer..
5.Here is where you gotta make a choice... do you wanna not be homeless one day or is this basically an early retirement from life... If you dont give a shit, start doing Heroin. it will numb the pain and make being homeless less bad.
6. Dig in the trash behind grocery stores for food... you will score some awesome stuff! and who wants to spend the money they have on food? that money should only be for a few things... Heroin, Meth, Alcohol, Weed and MAYBE pharms.
7.Get to a warm place... no one wants to be homeless in a frigid ass city. You are gonna wanna move to LA for the winter. so hop a train! its always a good time to risk losing a limb
8. get some experience of your own... i cant tell you everything... mainly remember this... DONT BE A PUSSY! You got yourself here
thank you for your time

More like they almost punched you in the face and you cried like a scummy douche and drove off and then your 13 year old sister grabbed your butt.
