Just wondering if anybody has ever slept outside.

This is not like tent etc, or if you passed out somewhere from drunkness. Just if you have ever had no choice other than to sleep outside somewhere for one or more nights.

No. I can't imagine that to ever happen to me or anyone I know. There's always a place to sleep whether it's a friend's place or a cheap motel with std's lying all around you.

No.

So where were you last night and does it have anything to do with this question? :shifty:

by rough do you mean sleeping without anything or what?

I mean like on a park bench or whatever.

LMAO! Funny you should ask that, I actually slept in a barn with some people last night (dont ask) and it has nothing to do with this, just a random thought!

I did it a few times as a youngun while drinking with friends, we were usually in forests or parks so we just slept on park benches and stuff.

No choice? I do what you're asking by choice, and quite often too. In the late winter I'd go to small wooded areas and practice building shelters in the cold, then testing them. Gave me a lot of good practice. Now I'll do it when going for walks in certain areas, in my backyard and a few other places nearby etc. Done it when I've been out skating late too, just sleep for an hour or two to rest.

If you've never waken up face down in the gutter, then you just aren't drinking enough! :laugh:

Thats sort of.... weird, but atleast you can be used to it if things turn for the worse. Im impressed by you going into the woods and making shelter though.

Does sleeping in the canteen count? I've also slept in my school hall when I was organising an event, in the mosque, outside on the hard ground and on my gazebo near my house. That's all I can remember for now :laugh: .

Slept all night in the rain when i passed out drunk. Nothing different from most kids there.

Argued a lot with my parents as i grew up and found myself wandering the streets a few times. I either stayed out all night and just kind of found places like train stations or something for an hours sleep or sp, but then would wake up and stay awake.

All other times i just stayed at my mates house for a week. His dad was cool with that and just asked that i payed for my own food etc.
