Nothing too crazy but one night outside of Quebec I was sleepin with my road dog at the time behind a 24 hour convenience and it was pouring rain, we opened the dumpster's lid up to the fence behind it to create a shelter. and slept under there.

well I couldn't sleep because my side was open to the wind(and rain) and as it turns out sleeping on a half-foot of ashfault, a curb and half a foot of grass isn't too comfy. so I looked around and found a covered grease dumpster complete with grease barrel. So I moved out the barrel, emptied some garbage bags and stuck em to the sides(years-old grease is a great glue) and layered some cardboard on the bottom. Despite me being kinda proud of the ingenuity I got about 2 hours sleep the whole night.

Edit: I actually remember an actual crazy place i've slept moreso then a gross grease dumpster. memory is shit these days. Maybe it's the weed.

I was in Penticton, BC and I had just run away from a crazy huge Native guy who was starting shit where ever we went and was a manipulator. So after I ditched him at the bar and hid under a bridge for a few hours. I felt safe to walk around again. So I tried to find a place to crash when I came across a couple trees behind some dumpsters but it was layered with sticks and generally not comfortable. I walked around the area and tried to find something better when I came across a middle section of a couch sectional at the road by some garbage cans. I rolled it over to the tree area and cut it up to create a nice little bed type thing. luckily I'm small and could slide right in between the padding and the springs.

I'm laying in a storage shed for the high way patrol right now, about to go to sleep, but the weirdest would probably be that I got a little too tripped out one night, didn't realize where I was and I pitched a tent on the side of US 1 in Orlando because I thought I was in the woods.

Behind some trashcans in Monterey passed out after tripping to the point of seeing fractals off of a rly strong weed cookie (I was in another dimension). I woke up and someone had moved the trashcans and I didn't even notice. I wonder what they thought

a treehouse at a road protest camp in gale force winds, an ex brothel and as someone else already mentioned a shed outside a DIY store.

The treehouse was pretty awful even in good weather and the brothel was fun because there was a jacuzzi in one of the rooms, there was lots of slutty clothes to dress up in and men still knocked on the door hoping for something other than dirty squatters to invite them inside for a good time. We found a stash of passports from people all over the world which was a bit creepy.

I'd venture to guess the passports might have been confiscated from human trafficking victims.

Nothing too buckwild, but squatted one of the abandoned mardis gras floats outside new orleans last week. Woke up covered in glitter..again.
I slept in some floats right next to the gentily hop out maybe the same ones...
I slept under a bridge with Savannah with my road dog and we get dogs siked on us by humbums in the middle of the night. Got run off from our spot and found a pair of festie kids who gave us their van to crash in and got us super drunk
If its the big bridge by scad i squated an abandoned camper back there in that home bum jungle with some crust punks. I had a good time there I tripped some good acid and on the come down I challenged like five people to fight me, I was flipping out luckily they were good people and just ignored me. haha

The worst place i ever squatted was a on top of a night club in abq. I ended up there because of my now golden rule, ask the first homebum you see a good place to sleep and then at all costs don't sleep there. I asked this homebum if he knew of some good squats and he told me about a place in an alley behind jimmy johns in down town abq. He said it was a block or so south behind a wooden fence, so I went there when it got dark and I got drunk. Turns out this "good" squat was about 20' long 3' wide section between two building with more meth pipes than I have ever seen, they crackled like ballast rock below my feet there were probably 200 used rigs shoved into the walls and laying around on the floor. Right as i walked into this place a few city workers gathered around the entrance to talk about the gas leak they had to fix right outside the door, so i stood around unsure what exactly to do. Eventually i just walked out and acted like i was supposed to be there. Tired and weening off of what was an enjoyable drunk i found nothing no where to sleep, until i stumbled across a set of stairs that led up to a second story door. Well at the top of the stairs was a way to get to a roof, the roof of a night club. I got up there and rolled out my mat and bag the club was still blaring music i had to nod off to a steady kick drum. It was dark all i could see was a big bird spray painted onto the wall in front of me, and ironically i woke up surrounded by dead birds and some of the biggest roaches i have seen to this day.

Cool thread!

Lets see, back in the day I decided I was going to walk across the country, on back-roads and rely on the goodness of humanity for all my needs. Did not make it far. The first night, I made it 20 miles and slept in this bad ass fire watch tower in the middle of fucking no-where, Mississippi. Could see for miles, absolutely beautiful.

Slept on top of a roof of an abandoned furniture store.

Passed out drunk on the side of one of the lesser highways in Cleveland, TN... An older christian guy kicked me awake, and called the police. Said he thought I was dead, because his wife had found someone in the exact same spot, beaten to death, 10 years prior. He had the police sit with me, went and got me McDonalds, got me a hotel, comes back in the morning with a big military bag full of nice ass clothes and a sleeping bag. He bought me a bus ticket to Washington, DC and gave me a stack of cash.

Slept in a warehouse in Atlanta, with a dirty kid I just met, after breaking into it to have a private place to smoke dope. That was a wild day.

My favorite place, inside one of those clothing donation bins. Was in the middle of winter and warrrrm as a motherfucker. Would do it again.

Oh, and that abandoned cement factory in Tallahassee is pretty chill place.

First night in Portland after going to a strip club or 2 and missed the last blue line ride. So I found a hospital parking structure and walked in. Found the elevator and got in. Hit the Emergency stop between floors and laid down on the floor. Not even 2min later I started going up, and was greeted by security!

Then I tried finding a dumpster to sleep in and had no luck. Eventually I just curled up into a ball at a Max station on the ground till the first train arrived.

I've been holding back all this time. You can actually get high up in the steel and have a fucking picnic. You are off the radar up there. They play music all night long too.

I'm guessing you better be careful now that everybody knows about it, but hahahhahahhahahahahjajaa!

Thank you, Home Depot!

Wonder what kinda charge youd get if caught thou?

Ahh I was thinking second degree commercial burgalary

As far as Ive heard, for it to be burglary there has to be: Entry without permission, and attempt to exit with stolen property. Although that is to a residence and could be different for commercial burglary.

Yeah I'm super sketched as far as the law goes anymore, two guys going to rainbow gathering got 6 month jail with 50$ a day jail cost, that was their "plea bargin" they were charged with felony second degree burglary for taking some spoiled fruit out of a dumpster because they hopped the fence. The business owner didn't even want to press charges.
