What can you learn from homeless people? Lots of things! Especially if you’re interested in learning street smarts. There are a number of scenarios in which you would have to abandon your home and/or vehicle and bug out on foot. If you’re in the city when this happens, you’ll need to know how to survive on the streets until you can get somewhere safe.
In this article, Jacob Hunter from Primal Survivor lists 10 survival tips and tricks learned from homeless people, some of whom have been on the streets for years. There are tips on staying warm, staying clean, and staying sane.
Jacob writes, “Do you remember that movie from 2004 called The Day After Tomorrow? It is an end-of-the-world scenario and a group of people find themselves trapped in a library right as a storm plunges the world into a new ice age. How do they stay warm through the blizzard and freezing cold?” Follow the link below to keep reading.
I haven’t been homeless, but served in the Army, in Europe. Men or women, wear several pair of pantyhose, they keep you warm. Baths using baby wipes, beats being funky!
4 in the morning, cold, I went to do my familie’s laundry. As I entered the laundromat, a homeless woman came in after me. She asked for a bottle of water and a quarter. She chugged the water, then went to a dryer, stuffed a blanket and her coat in, and started it. When they were toasty warm she put on the coat, arranged the laundry cart outside the dryer, climbed in and fell asleep. Homeless comfy bed.
after reading the story,an having many years of info from picking the homeless minds when i worked at a center for homeless,i can say the story is spot on.it over looked some things but as for what was wrote,it was good.
a trick i learned i use daily as its a money maker one,an one ALWAYS needs $$$$
if you are like me an walk everywhere in my city,i learned to walk through fast food to go window areas,look down,you will ALMOST ALWAYS find change.i did this for one day,just walking through them fast food areas an i walked away with almost 5-10 bucks. (i believe in trying things out an i had the time to actually research this tip)
also another good tip…DO NOT BE AFRAID OR EMBARRASSED TO DUMPSTER DIVE!! the amount of stuff we as Americans throw out daily is mind blowing,from food to cloths,to camping gear,to you can name it,it can be found in a trash can!! look behind second hand stores for some good stuff,they had no space to sell it,or already had too much of it,so they toss it
I appreciate, result in I found exactly what I used too be having a
look for. You’ve ended my four day lengthy hunt! God Bless you man. Havve a nice day.
Bye
