    When you want good shit but you're poor

    People have been suggesting camping

    Recently, I've been getting a lot more suggesting to camp out instead of looking for a squat. It turns out it's a lot safer and a lot more peaceful and private. Just like with squat, I have no sure appropriate gear, but I need to expand my options and way of thinking for the sake of my survival...

    Best places to get free gear? Homeless help places etc that are well stocked

    I'm currently on the west coast in Oregon Washington area, but really anywhere is good to know about, I just feel like there ought to be some kind of resource list for getting sleeping bags, boots, coats, packs etc for free or really extremely cheap thrift stores around the country

    So this just happened. Sleeping soundly in my tent and I hear a commotion. I peek out and see a couple guys running by with cops on their ass. I think they got away but the cops came back to my spot and trashed everything, shredded my tent and tarps and took what they thought had value. Only...
