I made this thread https://hackforums.net/showthread.php?tid=6292379 and the encounter got me thinking…

What would you do? Do you have a plan? I’m interested to hear peoples thoughts as most don’t “plan” on being homeless.

Personally I sorta have a plan, I have all my camping gear in one giant 30lb backpack I use when I go camping and hiking on 3ish day excursions in the national forests. I bring snacks and fish and eat wild plants (I have a book and know most of them in my area) But I would have to stay outside of cites to avoid getting robbed or mugged I guess 🤷🏼‍♂️😑 also a fire would attract attention… I would also try to keep my vehicle but without money for fuel or repairs obviously I would lose it eventually.

Anyways lots of factors here. Basically I’d go either way the flow. What happens…happens. Fuck it.

I am sure this is a real possibility for most of us. I mean the job market is cooked right now. They want 5 to 10 year of work experience right out of college which is insane. I know many like me that never got a chance to enter their profession of choice when going to college.

for me I would stay in the city and just steal shit. I would find an abandon home or office building and just squat there.
I would reopen the gas lines and disconnect it by the meter and just have it bypass it. I would get the tools by stealing them.
Then I would get free natural gas going.

This is of course you're saying if I am homeless and it's not an apocalyptic situation.

To be honest I don't know, I couldn't imagine myself without computers / internet, not because I'm a junky / nerd, but because I love working in this field, I enjoy learning about hacking, cybersecurity, ...

That makes me think about the sad story of Adrian Lamo which was known as the "Homeless Hacker" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adrian_Lamo

If I was homeless I know that I would do the necessary to get back on my feet, even if I need to start with a not well paid job. I'm not sure I would be interested traveling all around the world, I like my daily comfort, I'm not someone who likes to travel / go on vacations and so on.

I would park my laptop at a friends (already have their name in my head). Have a wife and kid so would have to find a hostel type setup for them at least. Prefer not to stay in my car as there are risks associated with it (like theft and parking violations). In the short term, I would stay at a religious establishment as a live-in employee at places that would take me (preferably religious establishments).

move out in the wilderness, become the hermit i have always wanted to be.

It's definitely important to have a plan in case of unexpected situations like homelessness. Your camping gear sounds like a good start, and knowing how to forage for food is a useful skill. Staying outside of cities to avoid danger makes sense. It's true, sometimes you just have to go with the flow and see what happens. Stay safe out there.

I would beg my friends to let me crash for a week, then beg online friends to let me work for them so I can have guaranteed money while I work on something long term. Maybe even need to rotate friends houses every week until I have enough income that I can rent a dirt cheap roach infested house.

Hahaha, metaphorically begging, theyre all my friends, I treat everyone in my life that I like well, I bet all of them would let me crash,

Roach infested apt never done before, but hey, I think it would beat being homeless?
