Treat the diabetic neuropathy at a free clinic (medication too); there's plenty of places for food/water. Find a nice place to rest when it's dark, carry a decent and hefty piece of short and tapered timber around (i.e., a club) in a folded up piece of cloth with another piece as a sling, and perhaps keep a journal of your day to day activities (it's fun).

Matches are cheap, take a stainless knife with you from where you are now, and kill animals with said club (solid hit to the head will do it); there's your food (clothes too). Do your best not to get any wounds.

You'll be fine, and you don't have to do anything illegal, other than perhaps killing animals for food if that's illegal where you are, but I doubt too many people would care about that.

I've done it around here, and it's easy enough; the diabetes might impede you though (that's something I don't know about).

I'd like to add: please don't kill pets.
This is good advice though. :3

Here's a link that might help too: http://www.vagabondish.com/8-tools-trav ... rent-free/
This could be an opportunity for adventure.

No permanent home topic

You could start a protest movement, ASS-P. Raise hell. Make yourself be heard, then maybe you could get housing.

Try.

It's not that easy.
When you're in an impossible situation, you can't think.
You can't plan. You can't maintain a movement when you can't even maintain yourself.

...I am STILL very time-pressured , but let me say:
It will happen , in a week , unless an extreme Hail Mary play happens .
My otherr main problem is the outfit bthat took payee status from me re: my SSI/D , LITERALLY , just for the biggest thing to point to:
They have spend literally hundreds of dollars of my money on nothing , including destroying my property .
They have refused to make medical appointments for me .
More later...

ASS-P.....are you still in San Francisco? It sounds like you've had a rough time out there. Have you ever considered living in Key West, Florida? I was homeless there for a month or so and it's pretty easy to get by. The police down there are pretty tolerant towards the homeless and locals are pretty easy-going too. Plus...it's much warmer than San Francisco and you can sleep right on some of the beaches. There is also ample opportunities to fish just about everywhere and if you can swim and snorkel, you can also catch lobsters, crabs, shellfish and other sea critters for food. Fresh fruit is pretty east to come by too as there's alot of mango, papaya, coconut, banana, etc.....trees around if you know where to look. Overall...Key West is a pretty homeless-friendly town and I can't think of a better place in the U.S. that would be better if you're homeless.

It's fairly safe and there's not a ton of crime there, but that's not say there's none either. It might be easy for you to find work there, if you're physically capable of working and with that foot of yours....I don't know about that. I know a few people down there and might even be able to find you work, but I can't promise anything in that department.

Something to think about....pm me if you're interested. I'm pretty sure a one-way bus/plane ticket to Miami wouldn't be THAT much and from there, you could take a bus to Key West for around $25-30 I think.

The payee thing REALLY makes " cash-at-hand " a problem , too...

I was homeless for about two days when I was a kid and yes, it's easy when you're young & healthy, when you're hanging with people you like and when you know you have a choice. It's almost like a little vacation.
