The properties were out in the middle of nowhere. Before I did the first one, I thought it might be kind of fun but now I just feel wrong about it. On the other hand, I slept in a parking lot of a closed business and it didn't bother me and I slept behind a church without permission as nobody...

I will be walking the perimeter of the US. I am new to this lifestyle but have plenty of time to prepare and do some practice runs. I know I can't make it across the northern US in one warm season. I am debating if I should start going south for the winter and walk back and pick up where I...

How much sleep do you guys usually get? I get 6 hours max on weekdays, usually more on weekends. School and all.

Thinking about sleeping inside this fence near a busy road. It's pretty shielded, near active tracks and a neighborhood. Any downsides to this? I don't want my brain frying, is that a possibility? Has anyone else done this? Edit: This is also inside an abandoned PRR yard, with buildings still...

Hey, I'm in cali at my hometown of sacramento and they bulldozed our village of tents on the freeway, so I moved to the other side of the fence so cal trans couldn't say anything and all I have to trip off of is the bulls which never come here and the tourists in town train ride can't see this...

Hey STP, I've been planning on hitching out of Texas and would appreciate any tips on lightening my pack. My synthetic bag is fat and heavy, but down bags cost a lot. I dunno about dropping the sleeping pad and baking soda though. I can sleep on a bag of my clothes for insulation, but I know...

Hi, this weekend I have a late arrival and early departure (around 7 hours of layover) at Stansted London airport, and I was looking up the best way to get some shut-eye that night. It turns out it's one of the worst airports in the world according to this website. I've been there already four...

I've been reading through Orwell's letters and this one about his first night (of many) sleeping in a field I found pretty charming. He was 17 at the time and a student at Eton, the most prestigious school in England. It foreshadows the rough life he was to lead in later years living...

when your in a homebummy area do you also sleep with a weapon in / close at hand or no?

Obviously it's best to be housed up, but where else do y'all prefer if that's not possible? I'm partial to rooftops since I can climb better than most people and no one will fuck with me or find me there. Otherwise, a little bit out in the woods or anywhere off the side of the road is usually a...

Hey guys, I guess everyone here is going to recommend me WM Summerlite, but I am low on budget for now and certainly can't spend 380$ for a sleeping bag. I'm looking for an alternative US-made sleeping bag, if possible goose down, duck or dri-down, hooded mummy. All US-made bags are relatively...

Seen a couple other threads about this but no one seems to answer this question directly so here's another one :P Any recommended sleep spots in NYC? Been scared af to sleep there alone bc all the good, hidden spots have gotta be taken n sleeping in the parks seems sketchy.

So I’m looking to upgrade my sleeping bag.I have a behemoth of a sleeping bag from like camp crystal lake lol. I’m thinking about getting either a Teton sports one or a thinner one with a fleece liner. It doesn’t really get that cold in here in south Texas but I do have thermal layers , hoodie...

I just bought this: It's 30" wide and it came in the mail today; it's got to be the most comfortable pad I've ever owned. It's more comfortable than a regular bed. Weighing in at 1lb 12oz, it's hefty, but it packs down small, and seems to be worth the weight. I've been skeptical of air pads...

" The killings took place at night near a dusty, desolate Las Vegas corridor. On Jan. 3, a homeless man curled up in a blanket to protect himself from the frigid 44-degree temperature, was struck several times in the head as he slept near an intersection not far from the roar of the Spaghetti...

I've had the cops called on me countless times around europe while simply trying to sleep away from rain under some roof of a public building... What are your guys' tips for discreet urban camping?

Okay. So, i see that either no one is willing to help with a place to sleep, or any ither info, we now have to resort to a tent so that we could sleep at night, and be able to get ro our daily lives in the morning. I was wondering is it kegal to sleep on the beach at night, in the bay area...

I am homeless but I work like 60% of homeless in NYC. I shower at the gym also exercise there and keep my belongings in storage.So I switch between rough sleeping and sleeping in any of the three NYC airports the deciding factor being the weather I usually find somewhere to hide so that Im not...

Hi, First, thanks for taking the time to read this thread. I'll get right to it: I've couchsurfed and vandwelled a hundred times (literally) without problems, but I have reservations about sleeping under the stars. My reservations are mostly about wildlife killing me. I've read up on wilderness...

So I am trying to get a better sleeping bag then the one I currently have. The one I have is just one from target, it's not meant for much more than sleeping in like a cabin or something. The funds are low so does anyone know a good sleeping bag I can get that isn't going to break the bank? Thanks!

Some of you may know this man.... the king of the camp kitchen, writer of sake-drunken rants, and master of homegrown scholarship... he is currently passed out on our new rug, a moosehead ale in hand.... A wild @creature in his natural habitat!

Hey everyone. I'm hellcat and I just got to the Seattle area. Been couch surfing or staying in hotels from New York City to here. I kinda need friends or advice on a place to crash. I wanna meet some fresh souls asap.

I'm moving up to the bay area next week with very limited places to sleep does anyone recommend parks, squats, or hostels to stay in while in the bay? Also i was wondering whats the safest parks to sleep at is Buena Vista safer than Golden Gate Park to sleep at in a sleeping bag with pack?

I've been trying to sleep outside the past few nights to prepare for stealth camping before I go out on my own and I have been having a hard time actually getting to sleep. I think it's my physical comfort level, mostly. I have used a tent with a pillow and some small things to rest my feet on...

So, the zipper on my sleeping bag separated, and wouldn't zip up anymore. I looked around the interwebs for a bit, and I found a solution. SPOILER ALERT: It fucking works. I've already tried the method in the video, and now my sleeping bag zips up perfectly again...

I'm curious about various aspects of sleeping rough in NYC in winter. I'm not one for cold and roughing it in cities as big as NYC always puts me on edge, the two combined appears nightmarish. Has anyone here gone through it? Are there particular spots that are dry, warmer? Are there...

Everyone knows how much of a bitch it is to find a good hidden place to sleep in larger cities. Well, today I had a genius idea. How about travelling with a couple large trash bags, and when it's time to sleep, you just get inside one, and lay down next to a trash can, with your head sticking...

Since we're in top-heat season, I wondered if anyone of you had any tricks to help us cool down for the night. Im surely not the only one who can barely sleep in such heats. So... any advices? Especially for areas where getting wet is not an option because of the bugs!!

(Not sure if this is the right thread but I didn't know where else to post) I am off for my first journey to Pennsylvania (where I grew up) and I'm very excited. I was planning on doing some couchsurfing or staying with friends, and sleeping in the woods. I was wondering what other places are...

Hey all, I need food/ drink, fruit, nut, and vitamin suggestions on mood stuff (mostly depression), protein, dry skin and hair, menstrual stuff (ALL OF IT), and allergies/ congestion, and falling and staying asleep. I don't have access to herbs, and even if I did they would be costly. I know...

Has anyone had this experience in any town? Or been arrested? Up until now I've been using more stealthy vehicles. But I will be getting an RV tomorrow. I know I'm safe where I am with it, but paranoid about ending up in that wrong town where something like this might happen, since everywhere...
