After a refreshing night in the Travelodge Hotel I head back out for another night sleeping outside in Manchester, UK, and not surprisingly, I end up dealing with rain again.
At this point I'm starting to get more familiar with setting up the tent, organising my gear and figuring out what works, but every night so far seems to bring some sort of new challenge.
I'm continuing to document this experience as it happens, including the uncomfortable moments, things I get wrong, things I learn and the small improvements I make along the way.
The response to the first few videos has also been incredible! Thank you to everyone who's watched, subscribed, donated, or taken the time to leave advice and encouragement in the comments. I've been reading as much of it as I can, and I genuinely appreciate the support.

A van got me through 8 winters
Now on a boat and still alive at the moment
All the best
Just sent you a tenner..... Hope it helps my friend.
I pray God will change your situation and mine for the better 🙏 ❤
Do you mind me asking something? You come across as very eloquent and capable, and you’ve mentioned working as well, which are obviously great assets to have. I completely agree that rent, bills and the general cost of living are crazy now, and I can understand why so many people are struggling.
But have you not considered renting a room? I’m sure there’s an explanation, and obviously I don’t know your circumstances, but at least you’d have somewhere safe and reasonably comfortable to stay each night. I know it’s not cheap either, but it would give you four solid walls and a bit of security.
