Being homeless taught me everything I need to know about society

I was homeless many times in the past, and not by choice. One thing I can tell you is the worst position you can be in is depending on anyone to help you. They will not. You will be looked at with detest, scolded, insulted and beat down without mercy both by civilians and police. And what many homeless people don't know is places that seem like a good resource are the worst. Vegas, college towns, tourist towns and such are to be avoided. Your best bet is to learn small game hunting and how to desalinate any water source. It will save your life. People will take your life. Dogs eat weak dogs. I learned to survive without help, in the fierce freezing wind of Montana winters in bear country. If I ever end up homeless again, those are the kinds of places I will be. Because cities and anywhere people are is a guaranteed threat to your existence. You know your intentions are good and you're just trying to stay alive but people don't care. So as painful as it is to transform from a weak dog to a apex lion it's what has to be done. Man is man's worst enemy. Not cougars, not bears.

Great advice, I was homeless once myself long before I meet my husband. I lived out grocery store dumpsters for food in Duluth MN. I thank the Lord it didn't happen during winter.

Because I know for sure I would have died. I wasn't prepared
