I'm seeking advice for leading a homeless lifestyle. Safest areas to sleep, food sources, etc.

By choice or by necessity? I'd recommend moving to a warm location ; I've seen bums sleep under bridges here in Philly.

Are you going to be homeless? Or are you homeless right now?

If you had a car I'd suggest Walmart parking lots as reasonably safe and access to cheap food and toilet facilities. I think there is even a RV website which rates different Walmarts and truckstops.

I'm not really sure in regards to without a car. Warmth and protection from the elements plus security would be on the top of my list. Have you thought about couchsurfing or house sitting until your financial situation improves?

This is exactly what I do when I'm too far away from home to spend the night there. Only exception is if I have a friend or family member to stay with.

How's this going to work with your online dating scene, Mets? I don't think most chicks go for no place to live + getting food from trash.

Do you even have a car?

If not, buy a car.

If you can't afford it, steal a car.

How gauche. It's common knowledge that you are imposing on friends and family by not retiring to a hotel after your (brief) visit.

if i were on the verge of homelessness i would first exhaust every possible appeal to get government assistance. some people seem to live their whole lives off the government and never have to get a job at all. high pitch erik even has playstation 4

Are you in Portland now? There must be an anarchist vegan squat. Find something on https://squattheplanet.com/

Or check out some of LuckyJimm's threads. They are great reads:

Rented apartment from a conman, am now a squatter, what's my play?
Friend I've known 18 years won't let me sleep on his couch, wtf?
Should I quit my desk job to become a cycle courier?

Gotta know how to play it. Say you prefer off the grid living due to the reduced carbon footprint. May appeal to some bohemian types

If you're in Seattle, you can probably stay with Dids for a few weeks.

Yeah, I'm guessing you wouldn't know how to play that angle based on your previous success. It's going to take a pretty suave guy to pull that off.
