Don’t look homeless. Constantly change the pattern of where you go so nobody knows your habits. Buy a good sleeping bag and maybe some electric clothes. Don’t own too many things. Don’t use a hiking pack or dress in outdoor clothes. Have multiple places to sleep and change where you bed down constantly. Go out when it’s dark and don’t wear bright clothes. Don’t become too familiar with anyone. Keep up your hygiene. Sleep is the most important thing so always strategize where to take a nap next. Dig sleep spots so you are out of line of sight and away from the wind. Have places that you can hide during storms and always be aware of the weather. Acclimate your body to the outside so you can be comfortable in extreme temperatures. Dig small caves if you are able. If you can make a fire, always keep it small with dry wood under thick brush or trees. Always carry water. Pee around your sleeping areas so animals smell it and don’t bother you. Build up strength constantly. Eat meat. Get haircuts. Secrecy is your greatest defense so don’t let anyone know where your safe havens are. If someone finds one, act like a hiker and move on. If just their stuff is there, toss their stuff out of your hole to let them know they are not welcome. Avoid other homeless and don’t get too fucked up to win a fight. Listen to the woods while you fall asleep so you can attune yourself to the slightest noise. Know what different footsteps sound like. Cover your trails to your sleep spots. Use dead branches, thorns or cacti as shielding. Build naturally and don’t let anything look man made. Always carry emergency blankets. Anything that can’t fit in your pack will be gone eventually so keep it cheap and simple. Learn to enter a body state of suspended animation while keeping your consciousness, even in REM sleep. Don’t let your dreams bother you too much. Buy frictionless scuba socks. Buy camo netting because regular people are so oblivious they could walk right past you from a few feet away and never know you exist. Learn how to move in the woods soundlessly. Thin shoes are good for this. Keep your feet clean. Learn to transmute pain into energy. Know where to find free food, whether it’s dumpster diving for doughnuts or fishing and hunting. Telescopic fishing poles are where it’s at. Skunks are like T. rex in Jurassic park. Just don’t move. I got more but that’s enough.
