You'd be surprised as how many address book entries this will fill. But you gotta be the approachable type to approach others yourself.
Know public holidays. Shit closes, things stop, season changeovers. All have fucked up normal travel, never mind unprepared foot travellers. Shedule is king if you want to do specific tasks.
Carry a library of your fav music. It makes a 6 hour walk into a 3 hour good time. Beats the sounds of the shit you've heard all day for 20 days. Don't let this shit up your awareness.
Store your stuff with someone reliable. Can't stress this enough. People really don't need much shit. Valuable photos, a bunch of books. A 3 gen set of PSX console + games. Shit that is genuinely hard to part with that you want to keep. Furnature, kitchen shit, shelving tables. Ditch that shit. Keep the things you would wish for first in a fire. Scale back the items. If you are thinking about shit back home, then you wont be thinking about problem solving while walking around looking for a place to sleep at 5pm on a saturday night while whores puke outside of a roadhouse.
Your clothes are your shelter first. Whatever else you might do, be really specific about this. I touched on this on the first post because it matters. You will sweat, sleep, talk to people, poop yourself accidentally on a bus, spill and likely cum on these clothes. Realise the depth of what you will be asking your clothes to put up with when you embark to go houeless.
Carry a second wallet. You ever get mugged you can throw it and they will go get the empty. Just enough time for you to bail. It's cheap and easy.
Sunscreen yourself. Carry seam sealer for your tarps bivvies and tents. Personalyl I'd not go with a tent ever. Tarps will get you through most shit 9 times out of 10. Urban bugs will need netting.
