00:00:00
all right so this video will be about uh
00:00:03
the best places to sleep when you're
00:00:06
homeless
00:00:08
um
00:00:09
so really it has a lot to do with what
00:00:11
equipment you have and and the weather
00:00:14
in the area but uh
00:00:16
first off thanks for the subs thanks for
00:00:18
the likes thanks for the comments
00:00:19

00:00:21
thanks for the tips
00:00:22
appreciate every single one of you and
00:00:25
thanks for the patreon support I
00:00:27
appreciate every single one of you
00:00:29
new patreon video will probably be up
00:00:32
tomorrow or the next day if I got time
00:00:35
I'm gonna film it today
00:00:39
um
00:00:40
the best places to sleep when you're
00:00:42
homeless you know like I said it depends
00:00:44
on the weather if it's the winter
00:00:46
you're gonna need some pretty decent
00:00:49
equipment
00:00:50
um
00:00:51
when I was in New York in the beginning
00:00:53
I didn't have I didn't even have a
00:00:56
sleeping bag I was so dumb about it I've
00:00:59
I thought I'd just be able to sleep
00:01:01
inside Penn Station I was I was wrong
00:01:03
about that
00:01:05
at this time this was around 2012 2013.
00:01:09
the cops did not let people sleep in
00:01:12
Penn Station I really don't know how it
00:01:14
is now but those first couple of nights
00:01:17
when I tried to sleep in Penn Station
00:01:18
the cops just kept waking me up so for
00:01:20
the first few nights I didn't sleep at
00:01:22
all I mean not for more than like a half
00:01:25
hour hour at a time
00:01:27
and I'm a person who needs my sleep I
00:01:29
like my sleep so
00:01:31
that [ __ ] was really bothering me so I
00:01:36
didn't have any kind of sleeping bag I
00:01:37
didn't even have a winter coat back then
00:01:39
I did but it was all the way back on
00:01:41
Long Island and I didn't even have the
00:01:43
money to go take a trip out to Long
00:01:45
Island and get it I had to when I was
00:01:48
first homeless I had to work all day and
00:01:50
all like I was working either in
00:01:54
Washington Square Park or Strawberry
00:01:55
Fields during the day and then at Times
00:01:57
Square at night and I had to
00:01:59
I had to do two shifts pretty much every
00:02:03
day and night because it was you know I
00:02:06
was making a dollar at a time and things
00:02:07
were moving real slow so
00:02:10
I didn't even get a chance to head out
00:02:12
to Long Island until
00:02:14
it was like January or something and at
00:02:16
this point it's like November December
00:02:19
so I started sleeping on the train and
00:02:23
this was right after Hurricane Sandy had
00:02:26
hit New York so a lot of the trains
00:02:28
weren't even running it was a really
00:02:30
strange time in New York City because of
00:02:33
Hurricane Sandy because even though that
00:02:36
wasn't the most powerful hurricane not
00:02:38
even close the problem was it was
00:02:41
powerful enough and moving very slow so
00:02:44
it just sat there flooding flooding New
00:02:47
York
00:02:48
changed
00:02:50
and doing a lot of damage so
00:02:53
when somebody coming up here probably
00:02:55
looking for the mechanic but the office
00:02:56
is closed all right they're going going
00:02:59
around back they ain't gonna find nobody
00:03:02
what the [ __ ] oh they got badges what
00:03:05
the [ __ ] there's always something bro
00:03:09
it's always something with the [ __ ]
00:03:11
cops and the government all these
00:03:12
annoying [ __ ] like
00:03:15
like you know they're just they're
00:03:16
always breaking everyone's balls trying
00:03:18
to get more money out of everyone like
00:03:21
so annoying I'll just keep doing the
00:03:23
video until they interrupt me because I
00:03:25
ain't gonna find nobody back there and
00:03:27
hopefully they won't notice me here
00:03:29
filming my video I'll film the whole
00:03:32
thing though as they come up we'll see
00:03:34
so
00:03:36
I started sleeping on the A train which
00:03:39
not the best train to sleep on because
00:03:41
it goes through the airport and they
00:03:43
wake you up at the airport and like
00:03:45
switch trains but at least I was still
00:03:47
able to get like four or five hours of
00:03:49
sleep at a time as soon as the E train
00:03:52
started running that was the one I
00:03:54
started sleeping on because if you're in
00:03:55
New York City
00:03:57
I'm really not sure how it is now but
00:03:59
the E train would just run non-stop
00:04:01
between the World Trade Center and
00:04:03
Jamaica Queens and it just it just never
00:04:06
really stops every once in a while it'll
00:04:08
stop they'll switch trains or whatever
00:04:09
but for the most for the most part
00:04:11
that's the best train to sleep on is the
00:04:14
E train there were so many people
00:04:15
staying on the E train it was almost
00:04:17
like a freaking Hotel
00:04:19
um
00:04:20
but I'd see now I don't know after the
00:04:23
whole Kobe thing and all that I don't
00:04:26
know if any of the trains are running
00:04:28
all night now because I know the Subways
00:04:30
are actually kind of hurting for money
00:04:33
right now because
00:04:35
um there's just like way less people
00:04:36
riding the trains and I gotta say they
00:04:39
the new the MTA the subway they kind of
00:04:42
deserve that because
00:04:45
um dude I couldn't tell you how many
00:04:47
times the subway screwed me out of my
00:04:49
money you slide your card through and
00:04:51
it'll say it didn't read it but it still
00:04:53
took the money off it you know what I
00:04:55
mean
00:04:56
then there was other times
00:04:58
where I when it would do that to me if I
00:05:01
slid my card through and it just took
00:05:03
the money and didn't let me through I
00:05:05
would just hop it I'm not paying twice
00:05:07
to get on to get on one train you know
00:05:09
what I'm saying so
00:05:12
um
00:05:13
these guys are still creeping around
00:05:15
back here
00:05:20
but another thing that it does is when
00:05:22
you're buying the metro card you put
00:05:24
your money in the machine and sometimes
00:05:27
it'll just say you didn't put any money
00:05:29
in and then when you go up to the
00:05:31
counter to complain like you know the
00:05:33
machine just stole 10 bucks from me or
00:05:34
the Turn Style just stole my Affair
00:05:36
they're like okay fill out this form and
00:05:40
we'll mail it back to you like who's
00:05:41
gonna bother with all that filling out
00:05:44
paperwork just to get a two dollar check
00:05:47
mailed to them you know what I mean so
00:05:48
the MTA has stolen
00:05:51
ridiculous amounts of money from the
00:05:53
people in New York City a lot so they
00:05:56
deserve to
00:05:57
get the turnstiles hopped and all that
00:06:00
yeah that was huh I wonder what the [ __ ]
00:06:03
they wanted
00:06:04
that way something bro I'm telling you
00:06:06
[ __ ]
00:06:09
um
00:06:10
so but yeah so I don't know if any of
00:06:13
the trains are running all night now
00:06:15
because they used to run all night back
00:06:17
then but I don't know if they are now
00:06:18
because I don't know what's going on in
00:06:21
New interview I haven't been there in
00:06:22
like three years
00:06:23
so if it's cold out and you're in New
00:06:26
York City and you ain't got nowhere to
00:06:28
sleep the train is probably your best
00:06:30
bet and the E train is probably your
00:06:32
best bet
00:06:34
um you know people don't really mess
00:06:36
with the homeless people in New York
00:06:38
it's kind of rare the only people who
00:06:40
are going to mess with the homeless
00:06:41
people in New York are other homeless
00:06:43
people for the most part other than that
00:06:46
the other people like you know all the
00:06:48
little gangsters running around New York
00:06:49
they don't pay no mind to the homeless
00:06:51
people for the most part
00:06:53
um
00:06:54
but now there's another thing in New
00:06:58
York City called internet cafes now I
00:07:00
don't know if any of these are still
00:07:02
open some someone made a comment on one
00:07:04
of my videos saying they're all shut
00:07:06
down and I believe that because the
00:07:09
internet cafes were just magnets for all
00:07:11
the like craziest
00:07:13
people in the whole city the people who
00:07:16
got nowhere to sleep but have managed to
00:07:18
get themselves about 10 bucks cobbled
00:07:21
together to pay for an overnight so
00:07:24
um you know the internet cafes I don't
00:07:27
know if any still exists but if you're
00:07:29
out sleeping on the street you might be
00:07:31
able to pull that off you go you pay for
00:07:33
an overnight and then there's like these
00:07:35
recliner chairs that
00:07:37
you can sleep in if you paid for an
00:07:38
overnight they don't care if you sleep
00:07:40
you know
00:07:41
the only thing they really don't want
00:07:43
you to do is get violent and start
00:07:45
getting into fights that's pretty much
00:07:47
the only the only thing I ever saw them
00:07:49
care about we used to smoke weed in
00:07:51
there we used to bug and
00:07:53
we used a party in there they didn't
00:07:54
care as long as people were being
00:07:56
peaceful and not getting into fights
00:07:58
which happened all the time too
00:08:00
but that was the only thing that could
00:08:02
get you banned from there was pretty
00:08:04
much
00:08:05
um if if you were caught red-handed
00:08:08
stealing from someone else or if you
00:08:10
were just known for getting violent and
00:08:13
causing fights they wouldn't let you in
00:08:15
but really you'd have to really have a
00:08:18
bad rep for them to do that because
00:08:20
there was plenty of people who got into
00:08:21
plenty of fights who they would let in
00:08:23
because they're you know they know that
00:08:26
this guy's not particularly a
00:08:28
troublemaker he's just not going to let
00:08:29
people push him around and [ __ ] you know
00:08:31
so
00:08:32
the internet cafes are another option
00:08:35
but
00:08:37
I'm not sure it depends where you're at
00:08:39
and even in New York I'm not sure if the
00:08:41
internet cafes even exist anymore they
00:08:44
were all in Chinatown that was the only
00:08:46
place where you would ever find these
00:08:47
internet cafes but
00:08:49
you'd have to ask around to the people
00:08:51
on the streets
00:08:52
so
00:08:54
if you've got to sleep outside now
00:08:58
the Central Park's got a million good
00:09:00
spots but the only issue with Central
00:09:02
Park is it's kind of out of the way and
00:09:04
the good spots in Central Park are like
00:09:06
way out of the way I used to sleep at
00:09:09
Belvedere Castle occasionally that was
00:09:11
my dry spot until too many people
00:09:14
started hearing about it and then and
00:09:15
then I'd get there and all the good
00:09:17
spots would be taken by other homeless
00:09:19
people so I kind of stopped dealing with
00:09:21
the castle
00:09:23
um but then another place I slept
00:09:25
there's this Puppet Theater in Central
00:09:28
Park where they've got this porch with
00:09:30
an overhang so that was another spot
00:09:32
where I could stay dry and they they
00:09:35
knew I was sleeping there they just
00:09:36
didn't care because I was I was cool
00:09:38
about everything but the problem with
00:09:40
that spot is the cops know about that
00:09:42
spot so every couple of months they
00:09:45
check it and if you're in it they make
00:09:47
you leave the park so
00:09:49
after being woke up at 4am a few times
00:09:53
and being forced to leave the park I
00:09:55
stopped using that spot because I was
00:09:57
like
00:09:58
sooner or later I'm gonna snap on this
00:10:00
cop because it was always the same cop
00:10:02
and I was like I don't want to get into
00:10:04
a fight with this cop over this [ __ ]
00:10:06
because I'd be arguing with him because
00:10:08
you're waking me up at 4am I'm like look
00:10:11
they don't care if I [ __ ] sleep here
00:10:13
you're the only [ __ ] person who cares
00:10:15
like you're going out of your way to
00:10:16
come into Central Park and wake me up at
00:10:19
us out of my sleep I'm not causing
00:10:21
trouble I'm not making a mess like what
00:10:23
the [ __ ] is wrong with you I'd be like
00:10:24
arguing with him and he'd be like look
00:10:27
man you're not allowed to sleep there
00:10:28
the the [ __ ] joggers in the morning
00:10:30
are complaining to me he's like if I
00:10:32
catch you here again I'm gonna trespass
00:10:34
you and all this [ __ ] and uh just
00:10:36
eventually I was like [ __ ] this [ __ ]
00:10:38
this guy another time he came and woke
00:10:40
me up
00:10:41
and I'm like
00:10:42
I don't know what he said I was hardly
00:10:44
awake but he left so I went back to
00:10:46
sleep he came back like an hour later
00:10:48
and he thought this was the time when I
00:10:50
really almost got into it with him I'm
00:10:51
like didn't you just [ __ ] tell me I
00:10:53
could stay here like what the [ __ ] you
00:10:54
were here an hour ago like he was like
00:10:57
no I was telling you to leave I just
00:10:58
didn't want to sit here and [ __ ]
00:11:00
watch you pack up all your [ __ ] and like
00:11:01
that was the last time I stayed in that
00:11:04
spot
00:11:05
but that spot's probably cooled off
00:11:07
quite a bit by now so if you want to
00:11:09
stay there if there's no other homeless
00:11:10
people staying there that's a decent one
00:11:14
um now yeah like it like I said it
00:11:16
depends what city you're in I I know New
00:11:18
York City but so if you're gonna sleep
00:11:20
outside you're gonna need a decent
00:11:23
sleeping bag
00:11:24
but you don't want to get some zero
00:11:27
degree sleeping bag because in New York
00:11:28
City
00:11:30
it's only brutally cold
00:11:33
through like December January February
00:11:37
March it'll start warming up a little
00:11:39
bit November it's cold but it ain't that
00:11:42
bad but December January February you're
00:11:44
gonna need a good sleep bag so
00:11:47
but if you got a zero degree sleeping
00:11:50
bag that's pretty much useless in the
00:11:52
spring and in the fall because you're
00:11:53
going to be sweating your ass off in
00:11:55
there so
00:11:57
um the sleeping bag I used most of the
00:11:59
time on the street was rated for 50
00:12:01
degrees believe it or not but that's
00:12:03
like the perfect sleeping bag for most
00:12:06
of the year round
00:12:09
um in in a climate like New York the
00:12:11
only time it's really not good enough is
00:12:13
in you know the depths of the winter and
00:12:17
so what I would do at those times was
00:12:19
just buy hand warmers
00:12:22
and I just open them up and throw them
00:12:24
in my sleeping bag usually I only needed
00:12:27
two for my feet
00:12:28
and I'd be good for in the sleeping bag
00:12:32
and I well I also had a poncho liner
00:12:35
which is it's a military
00:12:38
you get them at the Army Surplus Store
00:12:40
it's basically this really thin blanket
00:12:43
that you can tie it to the inside of
00:12:45
your Poncho in case it gets cold out
00:12:47
those things are so useful and it's it's
00:12:51
one of the best pieces of Survival
00:12:53
equipment I've ever seen in my life it's
00:12:55
called the poncho liner I'll I'll link
00:12:57
it in the description
00:12:59
um
00:13:00
deponcho liner I have which I still use
00:13:03
as my blanket to this day I got that in
00:13:07
New York City at the Army Surplus Store
00:13:09
see everything in Manhattan costs about
00:13:11
you know it's gonna cost more so I think
00:13:13
I paid 50 bucks for it there but usually
00:13:16
you're gonna pay about 30 for for the
00:13:19
for the legitimate military poncho liner
00:13:23
um so I was using a 50 degree sleeping
00:13:25
bag and the poncho liner and those two
00:13:28
things combined
00:13:31
um you know you'll figure it out
00:13:34
but nowadays what I do then once I
00:13:36
started getting my money up I was able
00:13:37
to buy better stuff so then I got a 30
00:13:40
degree sleeping bag
00:13:43
for you know when it's really cold out
00:13:46
and I also got this thing called a swag
00:13:49
man roll which I'll link that in the
00:13:52
description
00:13:53
and the poncho liner so between those
00:13:55
three things I'm I'm good in any weather
00:13:58
conditions as long as I've got hand
00:14:00
warmers because
00:14:01
if it gets down to zero and you got the
00:14:05
30 degree sleeping bag the
00:14:08
poncho liner and the swag man roll
00:14:10
you're still gonna probably be freezing
00:14:13
your ass off at zero so you're gonna
00:14:14
need the hand warmers
00:14:16
um
00:14:17
but yeah I'll link all that in the
00:14:19
description my and that's what I use to
00:14:22
this day I got the 30 degree Kelty
00:14:24
sleeping bag which costs about a hundred
00:14:26
bucks I've got the poncho liner which
00:14:29
costs about 150. they keep raising the
00:14:32
price on that because it's a very
00:14:33
popular thing with like survivalist type
00:14:35
people because it's this sleeping bag
00:14:38
that's rated for about 50 degrees but
00:14:40
the thing is you can fold it down to
00:14:42
like this if like a Coleman Sleek sleep
00:14:45
sleeping bag that's rated for 50 degrees
00:14:47
it's going to be like this big but the
00:14:49
the swag man roll you can squeeze it
00:14:51
down to like this it's such a compact
00:14:54
useful thing and it also opens up into a
00:14:57
poncho if you want to use it for that
00:14:59
and it's totally waterproof you can
00:15:01
spray a hose on it so
00:15:04
it's for 150 I'd say it's worth it you
00:15:08
know I think I paid 130 for it a couple
00:15:11
years ago but if I didn't have one I I
00:15:14
would I'd buy it again it's one of those
00:15:17
things that
00:15:18
it's it's worth having in my opinion so
00:15:22
I'll link those in the description if
00:15:24
anyone's interested but so once you've
00:15:25
got the proper equipment if you're
00:15:28
sleeping on the street in a place like
00:15:30
New York high humidity it rains a lot in
00:15:33
New York
00:15:35
um you're gonna
00:15:36
you're going to want to find some sort
00:15:38
of cover now I was sleeping in front of
00:15:41
a church where they knew me there they
00:15:43
didn't care if I slept there that was
00:15:45
the main reason I stayed there
00:15:47
um
00:15:48
and I had enough of an overhang to where
00:15:51
it would block most of the rain but then
00:15:53
I would use my military Poncho as
00:15:56
shelter to block
00:15:58
the rest of the rain
00:16:00
so
00:16:02
um that's also the best shelter in my
00:16:04
opinion is a military Poncho it's
00:16:07
it's it's basically a tarp that you can
00:16:10
roll down to about this big it's it's
00:16:12
pretty heavy but it's very much worth
00:16:15
having because when it's raining out and
00:16:18
you need cover
00:16:19
the military Poncho's the best thing for
00:16:21
it so I would use the military Poncho as
00:16:25
cover for the weather and I'd throw down
00:16:28
just a regular tarp as my ground cover
00:16:30
because you if it's raining at you don't
00:16:32
want to be just laying directly on the
00:16:34
ground
00:16:35
um
00:16:36
depending on where you're at you gotta
00:16:38
pay attention to Elevation and stuff
00:16:40
because if it starts raining at night
00:16:42
and you're not on The High Ground the
00:16:45
water is going to come running right
00:16:47
down to where you're at you know what I
00:16:49
mean I know people who would sleep on
00:16:52
the streets and it'd be a rough night
00:16:54
weather-wise and
00:16:56
I'd see him in McDonald's soaking wet
00:16:58
and I'd be like what happened they'd be
00:17:00
like man my spot was just too low water
00:17:02
came running through and soaked me in
00:17:04
the night you know so you're gonna want
00:17:07
a bit of a ground cover even if you're
00:17:09
sleeping on the concrete you're going to
00:17:11
want a ground cover because the concrete
00:17:13
will will it'll suck the heat right out
00:17:16
of you so
00:17:18
um there's cardboard all over the place
00:17:20
in New York City I don't know about
00:17:21
others I'm sure there is but so if you
00:17:24
don't got the tarps and all that you
00:17:26
just throw down a couple layers of
00:17:27
cardboard and that'll that'll keep you
00:17:29
warmer it'll block the um
00:17:32
it'll block the sidewalk from just
00:17:34
sucking the heat right out of your
00:17:36
sleeping bag so yeah no that's important
00:17:38
you even on the grass or wherever you
00:17:41
don't want to be directly on the ground
00:17:42
because the ground pulls the heat right
00:17:45
out of you and you'll be a lot colder
00:17:47
when I was first sleeping outside all I
00:17:50
had was a winter coat for my that was my
00:17:55
whole Sleeping system was a winter coat
00:17:57
so I'd be laying directly on the
00:17:58
concrete with a coat just covering my
00:18:01
upper half and this was in the spring
00:18:03
and I was freezing every night I was
00:18:06
freezing I was lucky to fall asleep I
00:18:09
was that cold
00:18:10
so
00:18:12
yeah if you're gonna sleep outside
00:18:13
you're gonna need the proper equipment
00:18:15
you got to cover the ground and you got
00:18:16
to have a sleeping bag or two
00:18:19
preferably a sleeping bag and a swag man
00:18:22
roll and a poncho liner those three
00:18:25
things
00:18:27
well you're pretty much you're good in
00:18:30
pretty much all weather except for like
00:18:32
below 20 then you're gonna need some
00:18:34
hand warmers to throw in the Sleep Meg
00:18:36
but those hand warmers don't take up no
00:18:38
space and they're you know they're a
00:18:41
useful thing they're not expensive
00:18:44
um I always keep an emergency supply of
00:18:47
hand warmers just in case because I I've
00:18:50
had those things literally like
00:18:52
they saved my life they you know I
00:18:54
wouldn't have been able to sleep outside
00:18:56
in my sleeping bag without the hand
00:18:57
warmers
00:18:58
but so yeah you're gonna need to find
00:19:01
some kind of coverage so there's lots of
00:19:03
scaffolds around in New York city so an
00:19:05
ideal spot is the churches for the most
00:19:09
part will let homeless people stay there
00:19:11
as long as you're not interfering with
00:19:13
the church you know you can't just be
00:19:15
camping out there all day and night you
00:19:18
got to get up in the morning before they
00:19:20
open or when they open depend depending
00:19:22
on how how they are towards you
00:19:26
um
00:19:27
but the thing with the churches are is
00:19:29
the cops really can't bother you at the
00:19:32
church it's like there's some sort of
00:19:34
law about it where when you're on the
00:19:36
church grounds you're like is something
00:19:39
you're like a the cops can't bother with
00:19:42
you
00:19:42
um
00:19:43
although truthfully I did have him
00:19:45
bother with me once in a while at the
00:19:47
church but I'd be like look they they
00:19:49
don't have a problem with me staying
00:19:50
here so take it up with them you know
00:19:53
um the this one time I got to my spot
00:19:56
and there was another homeless guy
00:19:57
setting up in my spot at the church and
00:20:00
the people who stayed at the spot next
00:20:02
to me they were telling them they're
00:20:04
like yo somebody sleeps there man and
00:20:06
he's not gonna he's not gonna let you
00:20:08
stay in his spot and the guys just
00:20:09
ignoring them so then I show up I'm like
00:20:13
yo what's up man he's like nothing I'm
00:20:16
like well I sleep there and he's like
00:20:18
well I'm not you know push you over I'm
00:20:21
not no [ __ ] or I'm like look I don't
00:20:24
care about none of that that's my spot
00:20:26
bro and you can't sleep there
00:20:28
and the people next to me are like I
00:20:31
told you bro like I told you he ain't
00:20:33
gonna let you sleep there so they kind
00:20:36
of have my back but
00:20:38
either way I wasn't gonna let him sleep
00:20:40
there I'm like look man I'm not gonna
00:20:41
I'm not gonna act like a bully or an
00:20:43
[ __ ] but this is my spot this is
00:20:45
where I sleep every night so you gotta
00:20:47
find somewhere else
00:20:48
and he wasn't moving so I just started
00:20:50
moving his [ __ ] out
00:20:54
to the street you gotta I gotta get
00:20:57
interrupted in every video it's not
00:20:58
official unless somebody interrupts me
00:21:01
so I just started moving this [ __ ] out
00:21:03
to the street and he was mad he started
00:21:06
making threats and [ __ ] and I'm like
00:21:08
I said look bro if you if you you know
00:21:10
if you want to take it that's up to you
00:21:13
man if you put your hands on me we're
00:21:14
gonna be fighting you know I wasn't
00:21:15
acting like the hardest [ __ ] on
00:21:18
Earth or nothing but I was just like if
00:21:20
you touching me bro it's gonna be a
00:21:21
fight it's that simple man go find
00:21:23
somewhere else this is my spot and
00:21:25
eventually he just left you know
00:21:28
um
00:21:29
but what he did was he called the cops
00:21:31
on me and so
00:21:33
you know it was around midnight I think
00:21:35
he waited till late night to call the
00:21:36
cops on me around midnight the cops show
00:21:38
up they're like yo we got a complaint
00:21:40
about you staying here I'm like look man
00:21:42
I've been staying here for years on and
00:21:45
off and the cops like yeah I know I've
00:21:46
seen you he's he's like that's why I'm
00:21:48
surprised we gotta complaint and I'm
00:21:50
like look there was some other homeless
00:21:52
dude trying to stay in my spot I kind of
00:21:54
kicked him at him and he probably called
00:21:55
and the cop was like all right all right
00:21:58
he's like whatever man he's like if I
00:22:00
get another complaint I gotta come back
00:22:02
you know the cop was being real cool
00:22:03
because he knew me like he didn't know
00:22:06
me but he had seen me there for years so
00:22:08
he was like he was like all right man
00:22:10
just whatever he's like if what if I
00:22:12
gotta come back then you might have to
00:22:14
leave and something you know but he
00:22:16
didn't he he never came back
00:22:18
but so
00:22:19
the churches are good because for the
00:22:21
most part
00:22:23
they're they're going to let you stay
00:22:25
there and the cops can't really [ __ ]
00:22:26
with you on church grounds
00:22:29
so that's why you see a lot of homeless
00:22:31
people staying at churches a lot now
00:22:33
another good spot there's tons of good
00:22:36
spots all over New York City the Central
00:22:38
Park is full of them there's Woods you
00:22:40
know you can just roll up under a bush
00:22:42
somewhere somewhere I'm not gonna I'm
00:22:44
not gonna list off all the spots in
00:22:46
Central Park because I'm not trying to
00:22:48
if they're being used by other people
00:22:50
I'm not trying to cause
00:22:52
any conflicts over the spots but that
00:22:55
that's what annoys me about homeless
00:22:57
people it's like they see one homeless
00:22:58
guy doing something and they
00:23:00
automatically want to do it when there's
00:23:01
spots everywhere like you don't need to
00:23:03
go and sleep in someone else's spot
00:23:05
there's other spots although I'm guilty
00:23:07
of it too man when I was first on the
00:23:09
street and all my friends were staying
00:23:10
in one area I wanted to go stay and I
00:23:13
would just go try to take someone else's
00:23:15
spot and I did it a couple of times but
00:23:18
I almost got into a lot of fights over
00:23:19
it and
00:23:21
eventually I just stopped doing that
00:23:23
because I'm like I'm first of all I'm
00:23:26
kind of in the wrong just taking someone
00:23:27
else's spot and second of all
00:23:29
who who wants to deal with this [ __ ]
00:23:32
every night just fighting with someone
00:23:33
in the street over a [ __ ] step
00:23:36
where there's you know you know there's
00:23:37
spots everywhere So eventually I just
00:23:40
went and got my own spot
00:23:43
um
00:23:43
so well my buddy Elliot gave me a spot
00:23:47
but so
00:23:50
um so if you're not going to stay to
00:23:52
church what you're going to be looking
00:23:54
for is a scaffold and a closed store
00:23:57
because if the if the shop is closed and
00:24:01
ain't nobody really gonna care too much
00:24:03
as long as you're not being an idiot
00:24:05
about it I know people that just camp
00:24:08
out in spots in New York and and the
00:24:10
city can't do much about it they really
00:24:12
can't
00:24:13
um
00:24:15
but it's only because they're in front
00:24:17
of a closed store but what the city will
00:24:20
do is every couple of months they'll
00:24:22
show up and be like we've got to do a
00:24:24
cleaning and you've got to move all your
00:24:26
stuff and they've got to they just
00:24:28
basically pressure wash the sidewalk and
00:24:30
then you can just move back and you spot
00:24:32
but they do that just the inconvenience
00:24:35
you
00:24:36
because they don't want you there
00:24:38
um but yeah look for a close spot with a
00:24:42
scaffold in front of it tons of them in
00:24:44
New York there's tons of empty buildings
00:24:46
that are not being used
00:24:48
because they're TR they're asking way
00:24:50
too much for rent and no one's ever even
00:24:52
gonna rent it so
00:24:54
look for an empty spot with a scaffold
00:24:56
in front in front of it so you're good
00:24:58
with the weather but even still when it
00:25:00
rains there's going to be leaks coming
00:25:01
through that scaffold you're not going
00:25:03
to want to be directly on the ground the
00:25:04
ground is still going to get soaked
00:25:06
under you
00:25:10
but
00:25:12
yeah for the most part the parks in New
00:25:15
York are not real good because they're
00:25:16
not big enough to
00:25:18
hide in because the the parks close at
00:25:22
sundown in New York City But Central
00:25:24
Park is so big
00:25:31
the cops don't even bother they're not
00:25:33
gonna you know
00:25:34
they're not going to search every inch
00:25:36
of the park looking for homeless people
00:25:37
because it would be a full-time job so
00:25:40
there's plenty of spots in Central Park
00:25:43
you just got to be smart about it if you
00:25:45
get caught in one spot you can find
00:25:47
another one you know but yeah the issue
00:25:50
with Central Park is that there's not a
00:25:51
whole lot of coverage so you're going to
00:25:52
need the military poncho
00:25:56
um
00:25:56
now I don't know like I've I keep my
00:26:00
eyes open in Florida just in case I end
00:26:02
up on the street and
00:26:07
the spot that I've come up with
00:26:09
in Florida I don't really want to say
00:26:11
exactly because I'm not trying to blow
00:26:12
up my own spot in case I got to use it
00:26:14
but
00:26:16
um
00:26:17
there's some causeways around Florida
00:26:20
with some bushes and plant life where I
00:26:22
feel I can I can slide up in there
00:26:25
stealth and sleep in there but the issue
00:26:28
in Florida is there's so many bugs dude
00:26:31
and at night is when the roach is in the
00:26:33
palmetto bugs come out in Florida
00:26:36
so
00:26:38
chances are if you're sleeping on the
00:26:40
ground in Florida at night you're gonna
00:26:42
have some run-ins with some roaches and
00:26:43
palmetto bugs and I'm talking roaches
00:26:45
like this bro like and that that ain't
00:26:48
this is like average I've seen them I've
00:26:51
seen some nasty looking roaches in
00:26:53
Florida man
00:26:57
but I'll tell y'all a trick to get rid
00:26:58
of roaches
00:26:59
and I've had to use this in my car
00:27:03
I've had to use this trick a bunch of
00:27:04
times because there's a lot of roaches
00:27:06
in Florida and they're looking for food
00:27:08
and they're looking for people and so
00:27:11
if I see a roach in my car what I do is
00:27:14
I have this this can for nuts
00:27:18
man yeah it's back there I don't know if
00:27:21
you can I'll see if I can get y'all to
00:27:24
see it my [ __ ] is just wrecked but you
00:27:26
see back
00:27:28
um back
00:27:30
there you see that little can right
00:27:32
there right above my finger
00:27:35
that's a can of almonds so
00:27:38
I'll eat all the almonds and then I'll
00:27:42
take the can and I'll put some potato
00:27:44
chips in it and the or bread
00:27:48
or whatever food that you know the
00:27:51
roaches like bread or whatever they
00:27:53
really love bread I've I've set this
00:27:55
trap with bread and it's like they just
00:27:57
go directly for it so
00:28:00
especially fresh bread so you take that
00:28:03
can you put a piece of bread in it or
00:28:05
some chips whatever you got whatever
00:28:06
kind of food you got put it in there and
00:28:09
just leave it and eventually the roaches
00:28:11
are going to find that food that they're
00:28:14
going to climb into the can like the
00:28:16
dummies that they are and because of the
00:28:19
like oil from the almonds they can't
00:28:21
really climb out so once they're in some
00:28:24
of them can climb out but a lot of times
00:28:26
they can't plus there's this lip above
00:28:28
that makes it harder for them to climb
00:28:30
out so so you set the little trap with
00:28:33
the can the roaches go in you put the
00:28:35
lid on and to me it's like I'm keeping
00:28:39
them they're they're getting one night
00:28:40
at rest for for trespassing in my car
00:28:44
they sit in that cell till the morning I
00:28:47
open the can and I [ __ ] dump them out
00:28:49
because I don't um
00:28:51
I I I try not to kill anything even
00:28:54
roaches and the thing with pesticides
00:28:56
and stuff
00:28:58
if you kill roaches with pesticide then
00:29:00
if other lizards eat them the lizards
00:29:03
are gonna die you know I think so I
00:29:06
don't I don't really agree with
00:29:08
pesticides I I it's just not good for
00:29:10
the environment and I don't really
00:29:11
believe in killing unless I absolutely
00:29:13
have to you know so I'm not I'm even a
00:29:16
roach I don't want to kill it
00:29:17
and that to be honest I used to be
00:29:21
scared shitless of roaches but the fact
00:29:23
that I'm I don't want to kill anything
00:29:25
and I catch them and let them go it's
00:29:28
gotten me over the fear of them I mean I
00:29:30
wouldn't like if you offered me enough
00:29:32
money I'll pick a roach up with my hand
00:29:35
and just throw it you know
00:29:37
um
00:29:38
but if you had asked me to do that 10
00:29:40
years ago I would have been scared out
00:29:41
of my wits to do it but I've caught so
00:29:43
many of them and released so many of
00:29:45
them that I've just kind of gotten over
00:29:47
my fear of them for the most part but so
00:29:50
yeah I'll catch him if if you don't got
00:29:52
the can like that a little bag of chips
00:29:55
will work too you just gotta open you
00:29:57
know eat all the chips
00:29:58
and leave it
00:30:00
open with some food or whatever in it
00:30:03
and they'll go in they they can't climb
00:30:05
out because of the grease on the inside
00:30:06
they get stuck
00:30:08
so
00:30:09
that's how you catch roaches if you want
00:30:11
to be squashing roaches all over your
00:30:13
car or wherever you're at that's me I
00:30:15
don't want roach guts splattered all all
00:30:18
over damn this video is getting long
00:30:22
um but yeah that's how you catch that's
00:30:23
how I catch roaches and
00:30:28
once I catch him I leave them locked in
00:30:30
their cell overnight
00:30:32
and in the morning I open the can and I
00:30:34
[ __ ] dump him into the woods or
00:30:36
whatever but that's how you catch it and
00:30:38
it works like a charm dude like I you
00:30:42
know I I don't even if I see a roach in
00:30:44
my car I this is when I was sleeping in
00:30:46
my car it doesn't even I'm like I'm
00:30:48
gonna catch him tonight so I don't even
00:30:50
give a [ __ ] you know
00:30:52
um but so I guess that's is that all the
00:30:55
spots to sleep now see the thing in
00:30:57
Florida is it rains even more down here
00:30:59
than in New York so I don't know I'm
00:31:03
real I'm really like my advice is if
00:31:05
you're homeless find the nearest Big
00:31:08
City because there's going to be a lot
00:31:09
more spots to sleep there's going to be
00:31:11
a lot more resources available it's
00:31:13
going to be easier to make money
00:31:15
and yeah look for a church or look for a
00:31:18
scaffold in front of an empty building
00:31:20
or shop or whatever
00:31:22
and just be respectful if you
00:31:26
in a place like New York City if you
00:31:28
wake up in the morning wrap up all your
00:31:29
stuff and go No One's Gonna complain and
00:31:32
in fact they're gonna they're gonna want
00:31:34
you there because what they do not want
00:31:36
is a homeless person to just Camp there
00:31:38
24 7. so
00:31:40
the way I was doing it
00:31:43
the whole neighborhood was like on my
00:31:45
side you know they wanted me there as
00:31:47
opposed to any other homeless people
00:31:49
because I'm not there all day I come at
00:31:52
night at some point and I wake up at 8
00:31:54
A.M and it takes me about a half hour to
00:31:57
break down my little shelter and
00:31:58
everything and so if you do what I did
00:32:01
the neighbors are going to be cool to
00:32:02
you one of the neighbors gave me this
00:32:04
fox fur and
00:32:07
goes to train
00:32:09
um
00:32:10
that's worth at least a couple hundred
00:32:12
bucks someone in the comments was like
00:32:13
that's not real fox fur yeah it is bro
00:32:16
like trust me I I know the difference
00:32:18
between real and fake fur it's a real
00:32:20
fur hat and it's my favorite one of my
00:32:22
favorite possessions I love it I'm
00:32:24
wearing it in one of my videos one of my
00:32:29
why I was homeless videos I'm wearing my
00:32:31
badass Fox for a hat and my badass North
00:32:34
Face camouflage jacket
00:32:37
um
00:32:38
but yeah I guess that's about it I'll do
00:32:41
another video about just the proper
00:32:42
equip equipment for being homeless I've
00:32:44
gone over it in other videos but never
00:32:47
in detail and I'll show y'all this stuff
00:32:50
too so I'll link the sleeping equipment
00:32:54
in in the description I'll link it to
00:32:58
Amazon and so if you want to get this
00:33:00
stuff I don't care if you're homeless or
00:33:02
not this is the best sleeping system I
00:33:04
should probably probably do a separate
00:33:06
video about my little sleeping system
00:33:08
because it's pretty brilliant and I'll
00:33:09
just explain all the advantages of it
00:33:12
but so yeah that's this video I wanted
00:33:15
to do this this dude got attacked by a
00:33:18
gator down here maybe I'll do that in
00:33:21
the next video and it it ripped his arm
00:33:23
off people people underestimate these
00:33:25
gators in Florida because they seem so
00:33:28
sluggish on land but in the water
00:33:30
they're like seals they're so agile in
00:33:32
the water that you have no chance
00:33:35
against an alligator in the water unless
00:33:37
it's a really small one you know so
00:33:40
maybe I'll do that video within the next
00:33:42
couple of days because the Gators the
00:33:45
Gators ain't no joke bro they they'll
00:33:47
they'll kill you man
00:33:49
but so
00:33:51
