BUY THE HOMELESS SURVIVAL HANDBOOK
Homeless Survival Handbook is a practical, darkly funny guide to getting through the first days and weeks of homelessness when theory stops helping and reality takes over. Written from lived experience, it focuses on what actually matters: staying dry, staying fed, staying organized, protecting your mindset, and avoiding the small mistakes that turn into big problems fast.
It is direct, honest, and built for real life rather than comfortable assumptions. If you are facing homelessness, preparing for uncertain times, or want a clearer picture of what survival actually looks like, this book keeps it real without pretending it is pretty.
Available now on Lulu and Google Play Books and Audio Book on Google Play Books, and should be available on Apple Books soon.

Hobo Road is a raw look at homeless survival, stealth camping, and off-grid living in the Pacific Northwest. Hobo Yeti shares real strategies, gear, and mindset built from living life on the road.
It’s honest storytelling mixed with practical survival knowledge for nomads, wanderers, and anyone curious about living outside the system while staying prepared, resilient, and free.
YouTube has recently demonetized Hobo Road for "Unsatisfying or Off-Putting Content." Apparently, homelessness, survival, and a little AI-generated education are where YouTube draws the line. Who knew?
I'm not about to delete hundreds of AI slideshow videos just to make the algorithm happy. Plenty of people actually find them educational, informative, or a welcome bit of comic relief. Apparently, that's not enough to satisfy the folks in charge.
I'll continue posting on Hobo Road, although probably not as often. I'm also working on a new channel without AI, which I hope to launch in the next few months. Because apparently, starting over is a hobby I'm developing.
I'll also be doing more talking-head videos on Patreon, where I can talk about MDD, homelessness, survival, and whatever else happens to be rattling around in my head without having to worry about whether YouTube finds it "satisfying."
In the meantime, I'm juggling MDD, homeless survival, and the occasional reminder that life has a rather questionable sense of humor. Losing monetization wasn't exactly on my wish list, but then again, neither was homelessness.
The circus continues.
