I live in Minnesota, and I did it here when it was -10° F. Sleeping bag, wool blanket, comforter, and some pillows and you will be fine. Get a membership at the gym, get a mailbox, use the library and/or Starbucks as your office. Storage unit for your stuff. There's free meals to be had in almost any decent sized town, there's thrift stores and churches for clothes etc. Churches are the best place to stop and get oriented with resources. It's amazing how many excuses and bullshit I told myself all the time about everything all the time until the time came where I needed to be resourceful. Any healthy person (and plenty, but not all unhealthy people) can pull themselves out of extreme poverty in this country. It's difficult, and the path from where you go after food and shelter is secured uncertain. Asking for help and forcing yourself to maintain a positive attitude are absolutely essential.

You need to get the fuck out of the crack motel man. That should be your first priority. You would be better off staying in a shelter, buying a car, and sleeping in there until you get the money to get in somewhere else.

You end up getting caught dropping it off at the post office. Postal service investigations are hardcore, and they will get you.

It's kind of like when you are hungry, and you just have to eat. The process is just way uglier. Addiction hijacks the reward center, which is what is working when you are hungry or horny. Addicts are not fundamentally different from everyone else.

At least you said it was a guess and didn't pass it off as fact.
