>holy shit man i was homeless for 3 days how the fuck do you do this? how old are you? im 23.
I'm 32, been homeless off and on since august of 2011 though I did camp on a golf course I worked at in 2010 for about 4 months. I hitch-hiked cross country and almost died a bunch of times, if you are suicidal just go hitch-hiking instead and eventually you'll meet your maker.
It's just long-term camping and hiking, but instead of dealing with 4 legged wildlife you're dealing with 2 legged wildlife. The same principles apply.
Most larger towns (especially county seats) have homeless shelters, food banks, and places where you can apply for food stamps. It's not that hard, though with Trumpcrates it might be a little difficult to lug your food around LOL.
My plan is to find a place to chill for a few months until winter comes, then lose a foot and hand to frostbite. I should be able to immediately get provisional SSI ($771 a month) and then a few months after that get it permanent.
If that's not enough I'll find a way to make myself mute (I don't need to speak to do what I want in life), and if that doesn't work I'll use a laser pointer to make myself blind in my left eye. Having only 1 functioning foot, hand, and eye, and also being mute should be more than enough.
My plan after that is to flog my disability to my creditors to get them to give up on debt collection, and then either buy a piece of land somewhere and build a house or build a sailboat and teach myself how to sail.
For the house I want to live far away from the rest of the world and be totally off the grid - grow my own food, generate and store my own power, store water in ponds and cisterns, and generally do whatever I want. I've been researching this for a few years (before weed was legal I wanted to do an underground grow op), and it's doable if you have unlimited free time and a slightly above average IQ. I'll save the SSI money in a safe hidden on my property and use it to pay my taxes and buy what I can't make. Maybe set up a crytpo-mining rig since I would have my own power system. Along with all that I want to have as much of this stuff hidden from the public as possible, and put a shitty facade on my property so it seems worthless to the tax man (lower taxes). To pull this off I also need land that will never be seized via eminent domain, land that is completely useless (a swamp, marsh, or a wooded hill), and land to which I can buy the mineral rights (to ensure that no one ever builds an oil or gas well on it). This land will be cheapest too.
For the house it's just a matter of reading books, moving somewhere with a big bay on the ocean and cheap property, building a small sail boat to teach myself how to do stuff in a bay, and then designing and building a boat that can withstand the rigors of the open ocean. My best option is probably a monohull junk rigged sailboat, about 30 feet long, made of a very tough and durable material. I'll need redundant desalinators (both electric and manual), solar panels built into the design, a ship-radio, a bunch of nautical equipment and the know-how to use it, and other stuff. Junk rigs are great because unless you're trying to sail against the wind they are pretty good, they're very easy to use, they're robust, and they're very low maintenance. My plan in that case would be to live on my boat and sail around the world fucking tourists and Asians, all while collecting SSI. Maybe take rich faggots on tours around various islands.
It might be a good idea to have an optional triple hulled catamaran build I can pull down when I'm in calm waters, it would give me more room to do stuff and stabilize the boat. You don't want that in rough seas though because apparently once a multi-hull boat capsizes it stays capsized, but a monohull can right itself if the ballast is in place.
I'd also need a small-ish garden for when I get tired of seafood, but that's easy to do with hydroponics and compost/urine.
If you want to try the hobo life my advice is to stay housed for about 3 months and go on 3 to 6 mile walks every day except weekends. Try to alternate blacktop paths and soil/sand paths. Carry a heavy pack with you - fill it with gallon jugs of water. One gallon equals eight pounds. Start with one gallon and add one gallon every week or two until you have about 48 pounds (six gallons).
Your feet will get blisters, but that's okay - it's part of the hardening process. Cut them open with a tiny hole, drain them, wash them, and keep them dry. Eventually the skin under them will heal and you'll have tough calloused feet that never get serious blisters.
Oh yeah: stop smoking and drinking too. If you live somewhere with severe air pollution (Reno, Salt Lake City, Los Angeles, Eugene), move elsewhere. This kills your cardio gains.
After your 3 months are up you'll find you have unlimited energy to do stuff and you get antsy unless walk a few miles a day. You'll be able to walk very fast and for a very long time with a heavy pack. When this happens, once a week do a 20 mile hike and take the day before and after it off. Do this many miles in a week:
3, 6, 0, 20, 0, 6, 3
This should put you in perfect shape for doing anything outdoors. If you want an upper body workout, don't use the hip strap on your hiking backpack - this puts all the weight on your shoulders, chest, back, and neck.
For camping I recommend a camouflage tarp (6 feet by 8 feet), camouflage netting over the tarp, olive drap spraypaint for the shiny metal parts on the tarp, and black/green 550 paracord. Build your campsite far away from people and trails in a wooded area. Make sure that you must climb over and duck under fallen trees, brambles, tree branches, vines, and whatever other obstacles you can find to reach your campsite. You want to make it as hard to reach as possible.
