How Safe Is It For Squatters To Sleep In Shelters?

You are at your most vulnerable when you are sleeping and I found that living on the streets can take its toll on your body causing you to go into a deeper sleep rather than a lighter one. Too much malnutrition and exhaustion can find you waking up to find all of your possessions gone (and maybe you won’t wake up at all…).

Keeping this in mind, you would do well to find an isolated (secret) spot to sleep away from any pedestrian traffic or other homeless people. If you are staying in one place for more than a day, ensure that your gear is well hidden so you don’t have to lug everything around with you when you’re out and about and just in case someone stumbles across your sleep hole while you are away.

To be more safer, cut down woods, stuffed up a coat sleeve (about the length of your forearm and hand - with your hands, in your pockets. It stays in place and if needed pull your hands out and let it slip right out into your grasp). When you get right down to it, there is an endless list of items that can be used as expedient clubs - look around you…
