Yeah, when I was about 10 we went through a more rough time than usual...5 kids shared a can of cold soup and a can of peas almost every day for about a month. We passed those cans around like it was gold...it was. We would have more when one of my brothers went surf fishing and managed to catch something. I spent three years off grid starting in 2012..hauled the water, no electricity and no potty. It was the best three years of my life. I tested myself, it was very hard...but I did it.

I was homeless for a month and a half. Other then getting really sick twice, it wasn't too bad but I'd never want to experience it again.

No ID, social security, no internet, no electricity. Almost 3 years.
The only time it got hairy was when an injury led to infection that needed medical attention, which interestingly was made easier if I didn't have an ID or social to give.
