It beats shoveling snow in the frozen north. My lovely wife and I do have a small income, so as long as live frugally, it all works out. Cheaper than heating oil and a lot less work than splitting firewood.Sixbearshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15572224383041421400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-23625170496978070082018-03-10T15:54:39.566-08:002018-03-10T15:54:39.566-08:00"hate the world mode"? Well said. I was ..."hate the world mode"? Well said. I was homeless once. It wasn't so bad. On cold nights I would crawl under my truck in a small ditch I scooped out so the rain wouldn't hit me , I could stretch out and the heat from the oil pan made it warm for hours. I'm to tall to stretch out on the bench seat and no one can sleep crunched up like a ball. (bad back)<br />What does occur when you are homeless, alone and maybe starving is it gives you time to think! You access your situation from the standpoint of reality, maybe for the first time in your pathetic life and you decide what to do about it. Things improve if you make the right choices. I bought a camper shell from a thrift store and put it on my pickup truck. It was like being a home owner! From there I got an ice chest, a sterno stove, I built a bed frame with storage underneath. I'd park at a Dennys or a Walmart, someplace with a bathroom open all night. That was 30 years ago! I've improved my situation quite a bit since then. Some of it was luck, some of it was playing the game skillfully.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-45715186291580943192018-03-10T12:13:38.970-08:002018-03-10T12:13:38.970-08:00Yeah your right there, good idea.

You then get the benefit of both worlds. Sure, details to work out, but just as a general guideline.James M Dakinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01382139289994087931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-44609667347813708552018-03-10T08:38:11.626-08:002018-03-10T08:38:11.626-08:00The ideal scenario would be to have some small sti...The ideal scenario would be to have some small stipend or cash flow (pension-trust fund-diasbled) to carry your expenses when going galt into the hills, or hermitting like ted kazynski unibomber hate the world mode. Being able to live low to the ground off grid, or boondocking around the edges of society in an r.v. is only half the challenge. My personal impediment is having a income or cash flow to transition into that idyllic lifestyle, without screwing it up and being homeless or in a perpetual refugee status. I guess a known situation is a powerfull crack addiction to break, before being able to go all wolverines! And digging into the hinterlands.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
