Living outdoors is tough, because you have to sleep on lawns and on the street. Living outdoors is like being homeless. But surviving isn't that hard!
Steps
Step 1. Prepare the things you will need, such as money, food, a pillow and a blanket
Try to travel light, you will have to carry everything you have.
Step 2. Get a gym membership
This way you can take long showers and enjoy them all day long.
Step 3. Think of a place to sleep, you can't have this lifestyle without sleeping outdoors
If you are in the city, find the safest possible place to sleep on the street. If you are in the countryside, learn how to survive in the woods.
Step 4. You will need money, so learn how to quickly make some money or even ask for charity
Step 5. You need food
You can buy it, or, if you are in a suitable place, you can also hunt, fish or even farm. You could build and use a solar oven or make a camping stove for cooking, using a fairly large tin can. You also have the option of building a fridge using clay pots, so you can store food (not suitable for prolonged use and easily perishable food). Make sure you prepare your food carefully and only store it if it doesn't go bad.
Step 6. As for the water, you will need to go to shops or restaurants, drink the potable water that flows from a fountain or purify rainwater from natural sources
Step 7. You may get bored, so do fun activities such as walking in the park, surfing or being on the beach; otherwise, simply relax on a bench
Step 8. You will need a computer
Buy a laptop if you don't already have one, or go to the library.
Step 9. You will probably want clean clothes
Go to the nearest laundromat to do your laundry.
Step 10. To wash yourself, visit a homeless center or go to a gym, or you can also do so by taking advantage of an available sink, bucket or river
Step 11. In case of bad weather, ie thunderstorms, storms, snow or even tornadoes, find a shelter and enjoy the show
In case of lightning and strong winds, find a safe haven. If it rains, avoid areas subject to flooding
Step 12. Good luck
Have fun doing whatever you like!
