 - **Attending random weddings and other celebrations**: even many non-homeless people like to do this for fun, you will just need to look very good, i.e. have a suit, nice haircut, be shaved and smell good. This may be hard to achieve for a homeless guy but not impossible. Besides weddings you can try any other kind of gathering such as a funeral or graduation party or whatever, the only requirement is that there be many people so that no one can know everyone else at the same time. Plan ahead and make up some kind of quick identity and excuses if someone talks to you, you don't wanna improvise. It is incredible how people can sneak almost in any place if they just have the right clothes and confidently act as if they simply belong there. Weddings will have luxury food for everyone, just eat as much as you can (slowly, you don't want to get spotted), and at the end try to take more food with you under your clothes (if you get caught here, you already have a full stomach at least).
 - Early in the morning when it's still dark **when supplies arrive to small shops**, you might be able to quickly steal something from the truck when no one's around (just quickly "walk by" and take something under your jacket). You should observe their routine for a few days in order to be well prepared.
 - **Trash bins** may contain food that's still good. But double check it's really edible. Make sure to **check out trash behind supermarkets, shops and restaurants**, they may just throw away perfectly good food -- it might be good to also just ask them, they'll probably give you something rather than throwing it away.
-- **Drinkable water** can sometimes be found near sport and school playgrounds. And again also in publicly accessible toilets (may possibly be found in universities etc., but one must be well dressed).
+- **Drinkable water** can sometimes be found near sport and school playgrounds. And again also in publicly accessible toilets (may possibly be found in universities etc., but one must be well dressed). In forests (at least in the Europe) there are commonly found springs of clear, cold mineral water, maintained for anyone to access for free, you can find them on maps.
 - **Stealing food delivery**: it may be possible to steal e.g. food delivered in front of the door of elderly people or someone who's not currently at home, however it may also be quite less ethical to rid a poor old lady of her lunch. On the other hand if it's some fat neckbeard you may even be doing him a service. { Now I'm imagining a sci-fi dystopian future of tomorrow in which tribes of homeless people with spears hunt drones delivering food like the cavemen hunted animals lol. ~drummyfish }
 - **Shoplifting**: this is risky, one must be VERY careful not to get into trouble with security guards, they take thieves somewhere back and then beat them up to discourage them from returning. Supermarkets have high security, cameras and guards everywhere, magnetic chips in everything, it may be better to lift from smaller shops or open market places. On the other hand a lot of security is just a theatre with fake cameras, fake magnetic detectors and so on (how do you wanna put magnetic chips into food anyway?), security is expensive and many shops likely just pay two fat guys to stand around wearing black glasses, all this with hopes of making people not attempt stealing -- if you can safely spot such weaknesses, you may also exploit them. Choosing busy hours will probably help.
 - If you're absolutely starving you can even **eat grass and tree bark** (not the hard bark, you must eat the stuff underneath it), or at least make a soup or something. Similarly in case of extreme hunger **bugs and worms** are an easy source of protein. A fresh roadkill maybe too, but there's probably danger of diseases, rotten meat etc.

 ### Safety/Shelter
 
 - Primitive **heating** (e.g. in a tent) can be achieved with **heated [rocks](rock.md)** or **bottles/bags filled with hot water** (this is even better). { I used heated water bags to sleep in quite cold weather, they are extremely effective. I heated water to near boiling on fire, then poured it in the bag and then left it in my well isolated sleeping bag. It stayed warm for over 12 hours! I even got to a point of feeling too hot. A pet bottle can probably be used if you don't have a bag. ~drummyfish }
-- **Tent** is a good, affordable portable shelter, try to get one if you can. More advanced tents (so called hot tents) can even have stoves for heating etc. A **quality sleeping bag** will keep you warm even in freezing temperatures, it's a relatively easy solution to surviving winters compared to building a whole heated house, [keep it simple](kiss.md).
-Two basic types of sleeping bags are with synthetic insulation and down insulation: synthetic are usually [good enough](good_enough.md) and resist humidity (unlike down).

Two basic types of sleeping bags are with synthetic insulation and down insulation: synthetic are usually [good enough](good_enough.md) and resist humidity (unlike down). As an alternative to tent (in warmer weather) consider a camping hammock, one with mosquito net and rainfly -- it's quite light, extremely portable, very comfortable and usable in many weather conditions.
 - **Fire and stoves** are obviously very cool for keeping warm, cooking, light etc. Again, read survival guides: when making fire, build a heat reflecting wall, collect (dry) wood and leave it nearby so that you can sleep and quickly stack up the fire when cold wakes you up etc. A metal barrel or at least a hole surrounded by [rocks](rock.md) may be better than open fire (protects against wind, holds heat, ...), a stove is even more efficient and better (can regulate power by choking the oxygen supply etc.), but in closed spaces there's a high danger of fire depleting oxygen and killing you in sleep.
 - Look up how shelters are built in survival guides. You can e.g. make a dugout or something similar, it can even have a stove for heating and cooking.
 - In very cold winters some choose to **voluntarily go to prison** where they get housing, food and health care. Again, in the US prison is hell and you most likely don't want to go there, but e.g. in Scandinavian countries prison is almost like a luxury hotel. However keep in mind that police may get hostile to you in the future if you become the "troublemaker", they may just beat you up or something. Also be sure to commit the right crime, do **NOT** cause material damage or harm anyone, you don't want to get a fine, pay for damage or get a life sentence (OR a death sentence in the US lol). Check your country's laws. One guy for example used the following method: standing in the middle of traffic (slow one so that no accidents happen). There is also a guy who lives in prison because he just refuses to wear clothes -- this may be a cool method as well.
