>>2791536not tryna deanonymize myself, but I've spent some time being a hobo before.
made money by churning promos on Chumba, LuckyLand, and GlobalPoker. It's not gambling if it's +EV. That and collecting the daily free $s from like, 20 different Social Casinos. They do this because they run their services as sweepstakes, not under regular casino law, so they're required to let you enter for free. Was raking in $1k/mo doing this which was more than enough to sustain myself.
The hardest part, as always, is finding somewhere to sleep that won't get you caught. You either have to be constantly on the move, or find 3-5 spots and rotate between them. I remember once upon a time sleeping in a private off-limits airport shack, and barely avoided getting the police called on me. Pretty sure I only survived cuz I was in a town at the time that was just off the AT.
As for my daily carry, I had two packs, one for daily carry and the other one for moving all my shit.
I always carried a knife on me, since I was up in good ol New Hampshire and they just straight up did not care that I was carrying around a 6 inch bowie on my waist. It's useful for all sorts of things.
My clothes were also important. I carried two sets of zip-off at the knee pants, a pair of long underwear, and as for shirts, I rocked two long sleeve shirts, and swapped out between two hawaiian shirts to wear over the longsleeves. First of all, it looked dope, and second of all, covered the knife at my belt so I didn't scare the normies.
I also carried a Chiappa Little Badger, since occasionally I would go on trail and hunt some small game. I do not recommend either the Chiappa Little Badger, or hunting for food on public land. The gun itself was fine enough, easily fitting in my pack and weighing next to nothing, but it was dinky.
As for cooking, I had an MSI pocket rocket and bought disposable gas canisters for it. Had a titanium fold up pot too. Was pretty neat.
