    being homeless in a toronto winter

    Surely you have some way to acquire a sleeping bag and a winter coat? The sleeping bag might be a bit harder, but it isn't hard to find a cheap winter coat, or to 'borrow' a relatives.

    Ok, I know some surplus blankets are 100% wool, but most are a blend, like you said. Yeah, I was wondering if I could wax it. Oh, ok, cheaper than I thought. That's around 30 pounds, cheers man, I'll give it a look.

    Cheers man, I'll give it a look, as the link you gave me doesn't give a price. I've found a pretty decent looking canvas pack, basically a smaller navy sea pack, looks quite durable and cheap. Yeah, I'll probably pick up a surplus blanket in a surplus store the day I leave. Cheers man.

    Yeah, sorry forgot about the sleeping bag. So yeah, synthetic sleeping bag and small blanket. I've got a rain coat and other clothes, I was just listing what would be in the bag, I wear my coat everywhere, no matter the weather, as it is, so that would be on my body almost all the time. Cheers.

    Squats in major English cities - London, Cardiff, Birmingham etc

    Sorry, I am in the UK, I really need to change my info now, haha. No, you're not coming off as patronising, living with a junkie or alchy wouldn't be good for anyone, let alone a teen. Nah, don't be sorry, I wasn't expecting anyone to give me adresses or the like, like you said, none of you guys...

    Cheers man, I know it's recently been made a criminal offence by the Tory twats in power. How hard is it to find someone to squat with and find a place?

    Squats in major English cities - London, Cardiff, Birmingham etc

    Hey guys and girls. I'm very interested in finding a squat in, like I've said, a major/semi-major English city. I mean somewhere more permanent, well, more-so than a month, if you dig. I probably sound like a rather big nonce asking this on the internet, but I'd imagine you guys are the...

    Cheers man, I've actually been looking at getting a LBV, it's just finding a wait pack that is a decent size.

    Not sure whether I should leave

    Cheers man. What age were you when you went on the road? And yes, or at least I'd like to think so. Anxiety paired with depression (Oh, what a great combo!) means that I'm usually the one to sort out my own head. Well, I may be going with a road buddy, more than likely, even living in an...
