i lossed my password to my other screename elk so i am now using this one.

some key things that happend to me while i was "camping" in woods.

take pepper spray i was almost eaten by a bear.
you are not going to smell good at all. matter infact you will stink BAD. (it was terrible)
you will get no sleep at nite, its uncomfortable and your mind races.
its also very boring and masturbation will lose its fun

i kept a journal that hopefully will be turned into a book someday.

i hitchhiked all the way from flagstaff arizona to a town called mt shasta california and lived in the woods around mt shasta. it was beautiful but now i am happy to be back in sociaty.

questions?

I've tried the camping on my own thing a few times. Usually I had little or
no Equipment. I was cold and could not sleep and usually stayed up for 2 days at a
time. How many days did you last?

i did it for 4 months. i got back here to where i am like 3 weeks ago. the only thing that really botherd me about it was being dirty and not being able to take a bath. it almost drove me insane, it was that intence. the reason why i did it was because i just got fed up with the crap in my life, like ok i was going to vocational rehabilitation but my voc rehab counseler was a real b***h, i mean a real f*****g pain in the ass. after 7 months of f*****g around with that i just said f**k it got pised off one nite and left.

although i now think im going to appreciate getting a job this time around. because its just terrible being homless. it really is. this wasnt the first time i was homeless but i dont remember it being this hard. so now more than likely its back to vr, for me although this time im shure i wont have the same case worker, so maybe ittle be better.

Yeah I have thought I would be homeless oneday. But I know i would hate it. I
can go a week with no bath but I still like to wash my hands 20 times a day. I do
have a crazy idea (that will never happen) to build a camp where people with problems could live cheap but not like animals.

I love camping and hiking. I don't know if I could try something as... lengthy as what you did, but someday I might.

I think the inability to bathe would drive me absolutely apeshit. I don't know how you didn't go insane.

well i did bath maybe like once every 2-3 weeks if i was in a town that had a mission. but that was pretty rare, id say the longest streach i went without taking a bath was two months. (the time i actually camped) the rest of the time was spent hitchiking their and back. but it was still pretty much drove me mad
