I want to become homeless and experience the vagabond lifestyle and get away from consumerism, but I don't want to end up looking like this guy. Am I just being a faggot or is this possible what are the pitfalls?

What do you want to end up looking like? Do you have pics of the bum you'd like to become?

>I wanna become an anti-consumerist vagabond!
>but I don't want to actually look like I'm anti-consumerist vagabond
Hmmm... Could it be...? That you're an utter spastic? With all due respect, you're an idiot. Seriously. What do you expect? To look like a crisp businessman? Idiot. Think again before posting.

Not OP.
If I was a vagabond, I'd wear a really nice business suit, tie, and spiffy shoes. I'd keep them ironed, clean, and sharp looking all the time. I'd carry all my ultralight gear in a case. No tats, no piercings, clean hairstyle.
Can you image if all vagabonds and homeless people did that? If that became a thing, people looking like this would be yelled at "get a job loser!" or people would toss money at them.

You don't need to become homeless to be anti consumerism. Just control your spending habits. Is that all or am I missing something?

This should be an episode of Dr. Who. "The Dapper Vagabond"

I do that to people in suit and tie already.

A winsome smile is all that's needed.

Step 1: Learn to suck dick
Step 2: Pack ur shit and start turning tricks
you wouldn't end up looking like that guy cuz you'd have a cock in ur mouth.
don't understand what you mean by possible pitfalls, that lifestyle is the deepest pitfall of them all. If anything, you should start aiming for pitfalls and you'll wind up in that lifestyle.

Don't get a tattoo and don't get dreadlocks and you won't look like that guy.
Not that difficult right?

Another thing you can do is grow some of your vegetables and raise ducks or something. Minimize money spent on food shipped from across the world.
Number 1 thing you can do to succeed in being homeless is do not lose your social security card or other important paperwork. Many homeless people get stuck homeless because nobody will hire them with no address, paperwork of any kind, etc. You need an escape route.
>get away from consumerism
Maybe just exhibition some self control and stop buying stupid shit. You could have chosen to get yourself a plot of land where you could live however the fuck you want in a sustainable way. But instead you want to be a bum

people on /out/ are so goddamn ignorant about being homeless it's insane
>every homeless person is the shitty old shopping cart bum i see wandering around town
>every homeless person is completely destitute and can't make anything of themselves
>every homeless person is flat broke forever
>every homeless person struggles with addiction and mental illness
having your fucking social and i.d. does not equal an escape route

He's right, though. The ones you notice are the ones that stand out.
A guy living in his car may be there because he has alimony payments and student loans taking most of a minimum wage paycheck. He shaves and showers at the gym, his clothes are clean thanks to the laundromat, and he's not crazy or an addict. But he's going nowhere for the forseeable future.
