One thing I thought about that I'm sure someone must have tried with success is bare-bones camping survival in an urban-ish environment.
But how you might ask?
In some situations this could work:
• Get a mummy bag with netting / screen for face cover to keep bugs from intruding
• Find a nice secluded spot near a neighborhood possibly, but also bordering the woods (small wooded areas that are thick would work great)
• If you have a car but don't want to get in trouble or caught sleeping in it, park somewhere safe at end of night. Then walk to your spot with your bag of gear... light pack though to keep it from looking too suspicious.
• Get the bag out and take off your shoes or whatever you don't want to wear inside, put in secure bag and get in the bag. Fall asleep. Make sure to wake up at a decent hour and roll your bag up and put it in the backpack. Walk to car.
Drive to destination (i.e. gym to shower, somewhere to get food, library to work on computer, etc.)
• During the day time hours you can work, run errands, whatever you need to do. Do this until evening when it's dark enough to not be noticed and repeat steps 3 and 4 again
This could work. Costs no money, less risk of getting caught sleeping in car since you are hidden in the woods instead. Relatively safe, just make sure you have no bad animals in your area that will maul you in your sleep. Keep pepper spray handy perhaps.
Not many people, if any, will be trampling in the woods at night. Even if so, you could cover your bag and gear with ghillie suit / covering. Since you are arriving at night and leaving early at sunrise or shortly after, less chance you'll be spotted anyway.
If you find a better spot that's more secluded you could go in the daytime and setup a safer sleeping arrangement using a large toolbox or something similar (like from back of a truck) and pad it and sleep in there to be secure from weather and animals during the night. These are a fair size and could work for most people. Cover it with natural stuff to hide it and sleep more soundly.
Thoughts?
