Marshall Lane's Homeless Journey: Eye-Opening Lessons on Compassion and Resilience

So like one of the things I noticed a lot about people that have become accustomed at living in the street is they're always layering up. They want clothes they want you're talking three four layers of clothes to stay warm to keep their bodies warm from that and depending on how cold it is uh one person that had been homeless um a good period of their life told me emphatically he said because i asked him like what do you do when it gets cold he said when it gets cold out he's like you're gonna find a form a warm place to sleep you're gonna find a place a building a business you know if you have to you're gonna call the police you're gonna go to the hospital you're gonna go to the airport you're going to go in somewhere warm and i think that rings true because i've noticed some of these cold days where i'm out in the street kind of wandering about that i'll go into like a mall area or i'm trying to i go to the library or if there's a a day center i'll go there i'll go to the recovery center i'm going to find someplace to keep me warm i don't want to be sitting out in the street be cold a lot of homeless people live in tents on the street um So like they get their, keep their tents warm. And another thing homeless people put me on is tent warmers. And it doesn't really get that cold in new england during the winter you know maybe 10 to negative 10 degrees is like the most it's going to get which is livable if you're dressed properly and you have enough stuff to keep you warm and a lot of people and more people now i think than ever that are living outside are just utilizing these simple type of supplies and equipment to just make it through the winter.
