where are the best places to live if you are homeless?
I was thinking about making a shelter in some woods, or just travel the country on a bike and sleep wherever I can find a decent place.
Also, how is the best way to get free food? I don't foresee myself having any money once I start living homelessly. Should I steal? Beg? Starve?

Overpasses FTW.
I'll consider this, thanks.
If you need the internet, go to a library. Also, if you need a phone use a usb thumb drive to run a portable app of voipstunt. and steal either a pair of headphones or a cheap computer mic. Either work as mics.
I've decided it will be easiest to give up electronics all together. I've never owned a cellphone, so it won't be very hard for me. I'll sure miss my mp3 player though
Society has forced it upon me.
What about &T?
Cut the shit and start elaborating.
Yup.
Come over to NYC. Especifically Queens around the spic area. There's hundreds, literally hundreds of big chinese supermarkets where you can take stuff from. They don't monitor their markets, and they have most of the produce outside. You can bag yourself 15 apples and no one will find out. Just get ahold of a supermarket shopping bag. Stuff food in the transparent baggies, then dump it in the bag and leave.
They're usually near parks so that oughta be a water source. You could live in a shelter, there's tonnes around here. Most beggers get robbed by homeless people though.
A time when the waters were pure with dysentery and fish shit , a time when you got to murder your own meal (or grow, then murder it), a time when you made your own shack of sticks and adobe ....
A time when love was abundant.
And then photoshop brought us into the modern age...
What are you, ate's disciple? Lol.
Good luck though. Be careful on winters.
And SERIOUSLY, be sure to boil your water before you drink it. Even still be wary of chemical contamination. If you note any odd smells, better you not drink it. By the way the mutual ancestor between humans and chimpanzees were probably butt-rapiing each other for the alpha-male position looong before Homo sapiens (lol, irony) came about.
I don't understand, do you expect society to support you?
ur werking ur way 2 ern a plase in the grupe of sosiety by having a job and paying pills and 4 ur food. ur giving som kind of good or servise 2 lots of ppl in exhange 4 how u get 2 take from sosiety like the tecnoligy of ur mps3 player 4 example. if u want 2 live completely in the wild and hunt ur own food go ahed but lets c u do it without anything that som1 with a job made possible. i challenge u.
The wanderer of freedom, I say.
It's not about technology. It's about food and water. I could care less if I never see an ipod, radio, tv, ect again.
Ironically, I'm currently working as a cook at a restaurant. You'd think working there for over 2 years would earn me some kind of title that deserves to survive. But nope, I get paid jack shit and I hardly have enough money to pay for my car loan, taxes, insurance, ect....
We have the ability to live in abundance. Unfortunately there is a small group of people holding 90% of the worlds wealth, making it impossible for everyone to live happily.
If i die in the wilderness, so be it. At least I'll be happy.
Like, in the country a lot more people grow vegetables and shit, so you can go robbing for your veggies.
A lot of people also keep chickens and the like, so you can be a chicken thief.
There's comfier places to sleep, and less people about.
I wouldn't exactly call living under a bridge, eating scraps from peoples plates, and fighting over shopping carts being a "free man"
maybe you should take some time off, get yourself together and press through. Everybody else is making it, you can too:cool:
u will b happy in the wilderniss???? i give u 5 days till ur tired of being cold and hungry. unless u have stuff that ppl with jobs helped 2 produse wich u prolly will!!
try doing this without anything sosiety contributed 2. that includes close!!!!!!!! LOL!!!!!!!!!!!! well maybe u can hav som close so we dont hafta look at u but thats it
This sounds like a good idea, minus stealing chickens. I really don't eat meat anymore, and the idea of having to kill an animal to eat it is just horrifying. I'd rather stick to vegetables and fruit. At least they don't scream when you grab them...
Who said I would fight for scraps and shopping carts? Maybe I haven't expressed my personality thoroughly enough. I don't even like using money. I can't even go into the store anymore and buy food unless my stomach is like dieing. It just creeps me out too much, having to buy food, that probably aren't even good for you....and there's so many people there it's just weird for me.
Imagine growing up as a Native North American, before all this bullshit. Of course we'd have our wars still, other tribes, but at least we'd be living off the land like we were meant to. Imagine if we never invaded and they eventually found us instead? How much different would our world be if instead of conquering other lands, we waited for them to develop to a point where they could travel to other continents. OH but no, just invade them and kill them all before they can do that because by that time we would have laser guns or someshit :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:
I'm down for helping society. I'll fucking grow massive gardens of food. Oh, but then I'd have to get all sorts of learning into me, which costs shitloads of money that I can't afford.
Instead of teaching everyone how to grow their own food and build free energy devices (solar panels for 1), our government has tricked us into living like zombies in some sort of nature destroying machine that we are now accustomed to living in. Not me.
yet im shure u contribute 2 it. i no it sux 2 c nachure being destroyed but i cant sit here and point fingers cus pritty much every1 is at falt. good things com out of this like airplanes aircondishiners ipods computers INTERNET dentists good shews and comfertible close 2 ware and not 2 menchin buildings that stand up in erthquakes and medisin and a air helicopter
Yeah bro. I'm doing the exact same thing right now.
Protip: making money is better when you travel. Learn to panhandle, busk, fly signs, fish for change and squeegee. One you've got that down, hitchhike and hop freight trains.
Learn the best towns for making money, stop there a couple times a month (not too often or you'll wear them out) and make enough for food and supplies. Hitch or hop a train to where ever the fuck you want. Once you start running out of food and supplies, repeat.
If traveling isn't your thing, go to a place like Toronto. The city will pay for your apartment, health care (including dental, optical and perscriptions) and give you free food. If you can find a way to get on disability, you'll be living the high life. A lot of the homebums I know make $2000+ a month (and of course they spend it all on Listerine).
Its a much more fun experience. I'm going to be homeless starting next monday and I'll be homeless in my home city in jersey. I have friends who'll let me take a shower, do laundry, maybe let me crash at their place once in a while, and pick up mail I may get. I'll be camping on top of apartment buildings. A lot of these apartment buildings have couches, chairs, etc up there so why not? I honestly cannot wait to be homeless until fall. When fall comes around, I'm getting a job and finding my own place.
To get my booze, I'm stealing. To get my food, I'm stealing. To obtain money for a tent, I have some people who'll help me out with some scams.
I honestly think this can be very fun since its summer and a lot of my friends never go home during the summer and they'll just chill with me.
Clearly not, which is why he's getting out of society..?
Admirable, OP.
Society supports me, and I do just fine.
I know a hobo that's a lot like this. He's not on welfare or anything, no ID of any kind. He lives in very elaborate shanties under overpasses (one my friend was telling me about had a door, several rooms and a generator to plug in things like a radio or hot plate). I've never seen him panhandle or anything (in the morning he walks by the spot where the crackheads fly a sign and picks up all the pennies they throw away), I really don't know how he makes his money. I know he frequents the drop ins and free meals, but you can't live on free church dinners.
I'll have to sit down and talk to him sometime and learn his mysterious hobo ways.
foolish mortal
enjoy zombieism
I admire you for this post.
This nigger is pulling a Greyfox on us.
EDIT: Go to alaska and live with Greyfox.
I could never live up there. I don't know how that old man does it. He's a wizard I say.
Truth.
But then you'd have the honor of saying you lived with Greyfox in the wilderness no homo. That's an award in itself.
lolwut? Did I say I have cable? No, I didn't. That's because I use my tv for playing games and watching movies. Nice try, though.
You automatically singled out watching cable. Interesting. There's still mind control in games and movies as well you know.
Well anyway peace be with you and may you find it.
Of course I singled out watching cable. My tv just sits there. It doesn't turn itself on. Mind control in games and movies? What are you going on about? They're entertainment. I can turn them on and off whenever I want. I can hit pause. I can watch 5 mins and never look at it again. I'm playing final fantasy vii again. Does that game control the millions of people who played it? Obviously not. You need to stop being so paranoid.
