RE: Survival: What if you go bankrupt?

in Outdoors and more2 years ago (edited)

That´s interesting. You I know I regularly go work out to an outdoor gym, right? Here in Prague. I often meet this dude there. An ordinary looking dude who works out there too a few times every week. We chatted a bit sometimes. One day, we chatted a bit more and he told me that he was "living out" for 3 years already. I was like: "What do you mean, living out?" I still didn´t get it. He said: "I´m homeless, I live under a bridge." Wow. I would never ever guessed that. He is always clean, tidy, shaved, well mannered. But he is homeless. He even goes to work quite often (he has some gigs) and they of course have no idea that he actually goes there from under a bridge and not from an apartment... Btw according to what he said last time, he should have enough money soon to be able to afford renting a shared room. Fingers crossed for him.

Sounds like an interesting person! So, it's an example that surviving on the streets is indeed possible if we stay clean. I'd love to know more about this dude: his shelter, how he showers, washes clothes, etc.

Most people don't realize how a tent and other equipment can save our lives.

He said he takes videos of his everyday life but he doesn´t post them anywhere, he just keeps them in his phone. I will try to bring him here on Hive :)

I'm sure he'd have a lot to share, and it's also some extra income for him.
