Vagabond General #1

Outdoor living or homless?

Good to know:
Safety First, Is high traffic safer because peopple pass on by? How about parks, forests, or less populated areas?

Equipment:
Tent or Tarp, Sleeping Bag, A sleeping pad, portable stove or a simple campfire setup can make cooking easier. Don’t forget a pot and utensils!

Foraging:
Learn about local edible plants and mushrooms. It can supplement your diet and save money.

Water:
It always takes way more water than you expect. Water to brush teeth. Water to drink. When it gets hot I use 10-20Litres a day.
Always have a way to purify water.

Stay Clean:
Keep a kit with soap/ a toothbrush/ and wipes.
Public restrooms can be used to wash up. Don't leave a mess. If you always leave the place cleaner than when you left it, people are less likely to complain.
Use a laundrymat when available.
Not necessarily hygiene, but take care of your mental health.


Other:
Research local laws regarding camping and homelessness.
Remember there are shelters, food banks, and outreach programs.
