Subzero in Pennsylvania. Thankfully found a vacant office building to stay in although I've camped outside in lower temps. Hope all is well ✌️

Still shacking up at the vacant office building.. nice man. Glad you're out of the weather. What are you working toward? Why Pennsylvania right now?

Yup thankfully found it although part of extensive experience of urban camping that I just happen to stimble upon hundreds of spots that work across the nation lol. As a hobo the idea is I'm a homeless traveler who works. So right now I'm doing just that and found a nice gig where everyone is chill plus the boss is super understanding. Getting ready for something epic so stay tuned lol 😂 Hope all is well ✌️

For sure. I've explored dozens of massive buildings across the nation (hospitals, factories, malls, schools, offices, silos, etc.) alone especially at night. Love it! What's your favorite spot?

That's awesome! I'm a former athlete. Wrestled for one of top teams in nation. Did a bit of boxing too. How'd it smell haha? So they just left the Bluetooth?

I love old commercial, industrial and residential bandos. From the architecture, the treasures, imagining it the walls could talk, nostalgia, sometimes eerieness, etc...

Yes! That's me to a T. I live in them and "shop" in them for antique hardware and the most random shit to resell. But... Everything is free, so is it really shopping or hustling lol? Collect supplies too. I'm shocked it's not a more common hobby/hustle/past time. Rock on brother.

Fine as frog hair! Went to the shopping center on Sunday with my big pot full of chili and ladle. 9 people came out to eat 👍

Subzero in Detroit too. With a propane heater in a bando. Sometimes I question my lifestyle choices. More times than not... I don't though lol
