- **Staying nice looking and well behaved has many advantages**, people will let you in places where normally dirty homeless aren't allowed. Also double consider options that would make you known as the "troublemaker", that can make police and others hostile to you. And similarly if you make friends by being nice and make yourself known as "that nice homeless guy" -- for example by cleaning the place where you stay, smiling people and just generally helping them -- they will even like having you around, they may give you food, let you sleep at their property etc.
- **Trash bins are goldmines**, you may find a lot of useful stuff in them, people just throw away perfectly usable things very often.
- **Publicly accessible spaces** are awesome, for example: libraries, universities, hospitals, doctor waiting rooms, hotel lobbies, post offices, airports, train stations, work offices, shopping malls etc. The only condition for entry is usually just looking and smelling normal, that's why it's important to maintain good look. Some of these places keep a minimum kind of security -- such as door access cards in some university buildings -- but usually you can get in, either by passing with a crowd OR by some kind of less visible back entry (there always have to be fire exits etc.). Then you may get a lot for free, including toilets, electricity plugs, free wifi, warmth in winter, comfortable rest areas etc.
- There are sometimes **electricity plugs** in underground passages for maintenance, you can use them to charge your phone etc. Also other plugs will probably be found in other public spaces mentioned above.
- Check out **survival guides**, they may contain a lot of valuable info about food, DIY healthcare etc.

- Don't let it get to you, don't become a depressed drunk or drug addict, rather become the awesome based nomad monk who travels from place to place like a bird, enjoying richness of the world instead of the dystopian consumerist stereotype. Remember, you are now free, unlike majority of the sheeps enslaved by the system. It may be uncomfortable at times, but think of all the things you DON'T have to endure anymore and this which you CAN do that you couldn't do before. Make the best of your situation, enjoy every day.
- Watch out for gangs, mafia, pimps, drug addicts, fascists, asshole police etc. -- it's a jungle in the streets. You don't experience this until you are homeless, you don't pay attention to the scum, you avoid them, and they avoid you knowing they could get in trouble by hurting you, but an old, weak homeless guy with little money and no relatives is firstly a good target for crime, but mainly a COMPETITION to other people in the street jungle. Some will be very territorial, good begging spots in big cities will probably be controlled by some local homeless gang, you better stay away from it. Always observe and check out the situation before you do something. It is probably much safer to find a smaller town, maybe have your hideout somewhere in a forest and only come to the city from time to time to get food.

- At night you can do a lot of stuff you can't do during day -- obviously, but it's good to plan this way. Walking street at 3 AM in darkness with absolutely no one around allows you to checks trash cans, people's mail boxes, pick up fruit from people's trees and so on, everyone is sleeping to get up at 7 AM to go to slavery. The only danger may be other people doing the same as you, so again, this is may be not such a great idea in a big city, but on a village night is your friend.
- Breaking into houses is hard and risky -- break ins are discourages in general as it means getting in conflict, potentially causing damage, getting in jail and, of course, doing harm to someone, which is not good. But if it's absolutely necessary, then lonely huts and caravans that aren't permanently lived in are probably best target. For example fisherman huts in lonely places will probably be completely without any people around out of fishing seasons. Inside may be very useful things including money, food, drink, clothes, electronics, tools and so on, however one should always aim to minimize damage done by breaking in and stealing: small theft may slip by, big damage will piss someone off and can result in long prison sentence. Of course in the US you may even get shot by some redneck if you get caught breaking in.
