Fucking yeah man, any set of walls with semi decent insulation and semi decent roof waaaaaay beats trying to sleep in your only set of clothes or a sleeping bag or a tent… during a fucking heatwave or blizzard or downpour or windstorm or w/e.
Full time camping outside like that is… usually something most people can only conceive of as what EXTREME survivalists who DRINK THEIR OWN PISS … on TV… do.
Uh, nope, no thats just 24/7/365 life when you’re homeless.
Well, minus the piss drinking part, that’s not a good idea lol.
Like I legit have diagnosed PTSD from the experience, as well as, you know, aforementioned crippling injuries.
Thankfully I’ve been housed for a while now and have been working on handling both of those, and have been making good progress on both… but oh holy shit the number of days and nights I nearly died from one thing or another…phew, yeah.
Lots of people I met along the way… they did die, I was almost always the only nearby person with any halfway decent first aid/trauma response/OD response knowledge, did my best to help what I could… often wasn’t enough.
