Ya know what probably wasnt a "True Survivalist" .
Know what If I was ever gonna be "Homeless" again go back on the Appalachian Trail..
Find me a good shelter near a bigger town I could steal a shopping cart dumpster dive for scrap metal and sign up Donate Plasma..
On the Trail other hikers were generally good people share their food even booze, rolling up a Doober, for a "Wake & Bake"..
At that time I was trying be "Sober" make effort .
I enjoyed every morning just get up making ramen and instant coffee 4 breakfast..
When I stopped in a Real Town I'd find a All Ya Can Eat or a Pizza Joint .
Belly Up cause I "Starving" after all that walking..
In those little towns ya meet "Good People" too
