I follow that one simple rule to leave no trace I am houseless--been now for two years. This would be my third stint, sadly enough, but working on it to change that. I LOVE to go camping,
fishing, hiking, sight seeing, etc. I LOVE the wilderness and respect it--even in grizzly territory. However, being houseless gives a whole new definition to the word “camping,” whether it be urban or wilderness.
The idea is “pack out what you pack in.” I have several different campsites in Denver and you would never know I had been there because I follow that one simple rule--to leave no trace.
Consequently, there are other houseless people who simply don’t care and just like pigs “shit in the same place they eat and sleep.” It is abhorrently gross and I see it almost everywhere I walk.
“Gee, someone’s living there.” I wonder to myself: No wonder regular people loathe the homeless because of the garbage most leave behind. Granted everyone litters on occasion, but come on! However, you know how the saying goes--”It only takes one person to ruin it for everyone.” So what I’m saying to you other sloppy houseless people is:
Pick upr your F&%#(G TRASH
