Living as a Traveling Spirit

When you find yourself on long travels with minimal funding and contacts you find yourself acting as a sophisticated homeless person or for those not blessed with survival killer instinct a homeless life. It becomes a walk into a whole new life where those who thought things would never be like that; becomes a reality.
It is important to understand that in order for us to contemplate this way of life from a secure enclosure is very difficult. A person learns to survive and what permafrost is haha and why its important to have your body covered when there is a permafrost.
Its fun for an adventure but its hard to imagine that some people live like this and I'm not just talking about the military where their trained to endure many different environments. Today it becomes very hard to safely travel across the country with dropping a half a G on strictly transportation and at least around $150 on food costs.
My choice was to avoid costs and prove to make the trip making money off bottle and cans to supplement for a breakfast and maybe a little more. I figured if I couldn't survive like this then how would I be able to say that I could endure and provide.
I guess this part of the trip is hard to explain because when an individual becomes fatigued they often lack the will to proceed so if anyone was to try a trip similar be wary that you will get wary and be prepared to find good place for a pit stop. Don't pre-map places to eat that's no fun just somewhat map the route you take making sure you stay off of interstate highway's because you will get tickets which suck. Its something that I recommend every able bodied male to do and its not easy but you will feel like you can conquer anything if you endure the weather and outdoors staying within budget and never giving. Many will give up and most would prefer not to even try but for those looking to learn about themselves have a go at it. I had fun even Pushing at least 80lbs. up hill in torrential downpours at 2:00 in the morning with no lights except for the cars that splashed puddle on me knowing if I stopped I would catch hypothermia.
