How to become a bum?

[Usarka]

Dont kit out a van- Build a classic bedford housetruck!
Trust me.... park at the beach, light some incense, put on Carlos Santana and wait till late afternoon. The rest just happens.

I had a feeling someone on here had done this..... Can one just park off on any beach or are the "authorities" clamping down? I've got visions of Rambo being kicked out of town in First Blood for being a hippy bum.

Consider being a flying bum. India or Bali are often magic and less than $100nz a week will see you living up super large on a scooter or Royal Enfield. People bring stuff back, sell it at the markets and go again on the profit.

Done heaps of travelling, happy to do more but it's time for easy (i don't class bali or india as easy) and i can park off and kitesurf or sompthin....

You will get away with a lot, out of holiday season if you are sensible and low profile and move each day- Once you have been on the road for a while- you will find favourite spots

As Dmntd said, WOOF ing is a good one....
Yup theyre clamping down on freedom campers as they call 'em, though there still are lots of spots to be found. Asking a cockey can be worth it too.

Hallelujah I'm a Bum

Hallelujah I'm a Bum

Oh, why don't I work like other men do?
How the hell can I work when the skies are so blue?

cho: Hallelujah! I'm a bum, Hallelujah bum again,
Hallelujah! give us a handout and revive us again.

Oh, I love my boss and my boss loves me,
And that is the reason I'm so hungry.

Well, springtime has come and I'm just out of jail,
Without any money, without any bail


Oh why don't you save all the money you earn?
Well if I didn't eat, I'd have money to burn.

Oh, I like my boss, he's a good friend of mine,
And that's why I'm standing out in the breadline.

I can't buy a job 'cause I ain't got the dough
So I ride in a boxcar 'cause I'm a hobo.

I went to a house and I knocked on the door,
The lady said, "Scram, bum, you've been here before!"

I went to a bar and I asked for a drink,
They gave me a glass and they showed me the sink.

Oh why don't you work like other folks do?
How can I get a job when you're holding down two?

Whenever I get all the money I earn,
The boss will be broke and to work he must turn.


I went to a house and I knocked on the door;
A lady came out, says, "You been here before."

I went to a house, and I asked for some bread;
A lady came out, says, "The baker is dead."

When springtime does come, oh won't we have fun,
We'll throw up our jobs and we'll go on the bum.
