Genuine Experiment? Yeah right. You can't be going around all day everyday outside in -20 weather and not be cold. I don't care who you are. You breathe in that cold air all day. Pulling pallets and pushing a cart makes you breath in that cold air even deeper. Feet freezing and possible frost bite. Every hour that you are outside in that frigid weather you feel colder. So if you have been outside in the weather for 8, 10, 12, or 15 hours then you will be much colder than somebody who has been out in that weather for 1 or 2 hours. I think your care body temperature drops or something. If you have been out in the cold for 1 or 2 hours you will warm up much quicker than somebody who has been out in the freezing cold for 8 or 10 hours. That can take many hours to warm up. Trying to push a cart, carry a heavy back pack, luggage, bags of belongings, pallets, and such for miles while freezing cold, sick, hungry, having lung diseases or other chronic diseases and frozen feet can be draining or near impossible.

There is some truth to that, but it also shows that you lack experience with *TRULY* having no security.

You just bother a freezing person the least you can do is Bring them some hot expresso huge bag of New York bagel 🥯 ham and cream cheese

[@majorchutzpah7265]

Look how happy he is!

[@zuutlmna]

Notice his cheerfulness!! Read "Paradise Below Zero" by Calvin Rutstrum.. Downside is that a quick cup of coffee isn't always doable.. When I wake up like that, I go "Coffee time!!" There's some really nice sleeping bags available, in oversize so you can stretch out!!, that'll keep you comfy below zero, and they're not down, so they're actually much easier to take care of. Of course, Calvin Rutstrum had good times (and good stories!!) in the days before down alternatives.

They look like brothers 💯

[@wewarntogether]

He should have offered him rather of asking .

[@mongrel2301]

Pay him something!

[@loucontino4804]

Held the mic the entire time but never once extended a hand to the guy in the tent.

[@Dlpfan-wn5hh]

That's a tough guy I like to know his secrets to keep warm I guess mind over matter

[@bungojerry9297]

[@luckyclowncarhobosunion9139]

[@miketyan1440]

I do just wanna point out everybody yelling politicians. This guy did say it was a choice. He could been in the mission which is a church. Matter of fact most churches will let you sleep there. And there warm or atleast warmer. I was homeless at 13 in nyc but by 15 I had a job and apartment those two years sucked but I was granted every opportunity I jus didn’t realize it. I had been offered food and room aswell as jobs but I’d always decline because I didn’t recognize this as my escape from hunger and the cold. It wasn’t untill a old rich white lady asked me if I wanted left overs. When I said no she told me if I’m happy where I am then I don’t need to try anymore. However if my situation is one I’m not “suppose” to be in then I better fight to get out of it. She then showed me the nazi numbers on her arm and said her family was homeless too. I didn’t understand untill later on but this lady had been a victim of the Holocaust and now she’s Uber wealthy on 5th ave. I now have a job and a family and am not homeless. I have a nice home.

[@ValerieJean757]

A choice and an experiment. An experiment. He has a home to go to im pretty sure and a family, friends and job. I don't think he arrived their after freezing all day and hauling pallets, a cart and loads of supplies and blankets through mikes of fields and highways and searching for a place where somebody would let him use the bathroom.

[@yellowdayz1800]

Most churches will let you sleep there... What a lie.

[@keltic341thoughtyouknuskii34]

Holy hoax Batman. They sent 6,000,000 bews to steal my pals land on estine

[@myrnawashington9057]

That jacket sleeping bag is saving alot of homeless people from freezing to death. It was designed by a black lady using donated scrape materials and sown by other homeless people. Sleeping bag jackets are then giving out to the homeless people to help them stay warm during freezing temperatures.

[@keltic341thoughtyouknuskii34]

Where can I get one of those?

[@ritzelpauda3320]

May Godbless you Sir GOD ❤️YOU from Toronto Canada 🇨🇦🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@raymondcouture9374]

Here in the province of Quebec, if you are homeless you can spend the night in the emergency room of any hospital. Nobody will ask you anything, even more, they will be happy that you do not ask for medical attention. If you want to sleep you go into one of the dozens and dozens of empty rooms all around the hospital. Again, nobody will ask you to leave, cause they don't care if you are sick or not. For the last 50 years they don't even answer the bell when a real patient rings...

[@turdferguson2982]

After seeing this, I think I might give this homeless thing a try. Bills suck and I really just want to lay around and read all day. I'm going to quit my job tomorrow and get a tent!

[@skyrimwarrior]

We all should have every Canadian high schooler, try setting aside a weekend, to be Homeless for a weekend, to experiment being homeless for a day or 2.
