Well, one guy who I met last winter spent some nights in the shelters. Other nights, he'd sneak/break into someone's porch or break into an abandoned building or empty house. Other times, he'd sleep in jail. I can't be sure about this last one, but I think sometimes he'd break into a house where the people living in it were out of town. Then during the day he'd steal small items that looked valuable and try and get people to buy them. He was just one guy and I'm sure others handle things differently. Some have friends who will let them stay from time to time. Some have found regular squat houses that are abandondoned and used by a group of folks. Some will move from place to place catching a little sleep here and there, but never really be "camping". Some will find a place that's out of sight and hope not to get caught. And some die. - Jason Goray, Sheridan, NE __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable.
