Are homeless considered survivalists?
I have recently been reading this homeless veteran's blog about his life being homeless. I think it relates a lot to what we talk about here. Basically this guy is in a survival situation and manages to make a descent amount of money without having to worry about housing and such.
He manages to keep a laptop and recharges it at hotel lobbies and such, so he's not one of those stereotypical hobos who do nothing at all. I think you guys would probably be interested in it.

I say if you are alive, you are a survivalist. The dead are not. We all have a comfort level, and a discomfort level. And when we are thrown over the line, into discomfort, we aspire to return to our comfort level. Those of us living a 1880 to 1930 life style are happy. I assume those living a 2008 life style are happy. Every six weeks I go into the urban area, and for me that is survival, I try to only be there for 3 hours, or less. And for others being lost in my backyard would be survival.
