Could I get a gear list for surviving as a hobo in both rural and urban environments? TIA.

Shelter (tent would be best, but pic related + rope will do just fine), sleeping bag and pad, 20-40l backpack (preferably more), ratty clothes to beg for money for food.

You'll preferably want several water bottles so that in urban environments you can fill up with water in public bathrooms. Assuming you live in a decent climate you're better off with a tarp because a tent won't be the best in an urban environment. You'll probably want a bivy bag and a good foam roll mat too in case you're on wet concrete. Beyond this you'll just need the standard rural camping equipment kit you can find a list for anywhere.

Unlike most of the links in the sticky, the Hoboism links DO work.

-Paper maps with city streets and compass
-Crew Change Guide
-Water key (super important)
-P51 military can opener
-Food stamps
-Cell phone with data for internet
-Bike and basic tools for repair (tri nut wrench, tri allen wrench, chain breaker, a couple monkey wrenches, tire pull, brake adjuster wrench (optional))
-sleeping bag, sleeping pad, tarp
-optional tent, optional bivy if cold
-Ziploc bags and garbage bags
-headlamp
-duct tape wrapped flat, rolled around old debit card
-needle and thread
-small single burner stove: isobutane is more light weight, but 1lb propane tanks can be refilled from a $20 propane tank of 20lbs, 20x
-journal, book
-mini chess board
-flash drive and backup with all important info, encrypted
-water bottle
-small knife (ex. Opinel 8 or basic Mora)
-basic hygiene and med stuff
-a hiking pack and day pack
-some paracord and guyline
-small pot, metal cup, small metal plate & cover for pot
-coffee strainer
-camera and extra battery (LX100 for nice manual and lens, RX100 V for compact)

Mislabeling bulk food is a good way to eat healthy. Quinoa and red lentils cook in 20 mins. Whole oats and coffee cook in 5 mins. Bike is super important for urban areas. Showers are the hardest part of being a homebum now, with all the $10 gyms closed, due to Rona, and not having a cafe for laptop and wifi sucks, but phone can be tethered to laptop for internet, if you have a place to charge the laptop.

How viable is washing yourself in a clean river? Not much of a hobo thing but if you were a hermit living in the woods without a cabin that's pretty much the only option, right?

Depends.
Clean water from a river running though the countryside would be alright - if you own a bar of soap, that is.
But if you intend of bathing in Thames you might not want to do that.

chemical sprayer with just water in it instead is fantastic as they pressurize and you can get 10L ones for a full wash

I'd build a shower, just dump a bucket or two for a long shower, would require very little effort.

2/2
Presence-
you are on a roadtrip, visiting friends, going to a concert, in a hurry got a hotel reservation booked repeat these things in your mind
you look in store windows (actually looking in reflection) you smile at dogs, you NEVER loiter, you are on an adventure and everyone is jealous this is your desired precence
DO NOT present: lost, homeless, sick, on the run, scared, ALONE
every other homeless who meets your eyes costs you time in that area, you will be tolerated for a day but unless you speak methead you will be attacked after a week or so if you lock eyes with anyone hardcore you leave town

conflict-
its monkey man rules now, eye contact dictates your strength, too little and you are oblivious game, too much/too soon and your a challange, try and time it, so its questionable which type of target you are and leave the area
for rough sleepers who notice you display temporary, for those who hunt you display
suicidal fight or flight they have the homeground advantage and always numbers... i have always charged and gotten within elbows reach no one trains for this distance or has experience with it, their allies struggle due to friendly fire, your target must collapse and you run.... this doesnt work with mexicans just be fit and out run, they dont even want to rob you they actually want to murder you... these days with BLM i would say they too are now in this category if your white
bag of coins is both distraction and thrown weapon

Misc info-
base layers MUST be woolen or atleast synthetic "cotton kills"
midlayer must look worn but not allowed to become rags these are what most people will see you wearing
the best back pack is just a metal frame with straps, an attached bag with a water resistant material draped over it
one of your first pieces of kit to break on you will be your bag
Have dedicated dry socks for sleeping ONLY
raspberry pi with a little screen and external battery makes a great solar chargeable laptop
sleeping out of cover is safer
