hi my name is david
it's kind of cool you guys came by doing
interviews and stuff
Getting the word out about what it’s like being homeless in Bellingham.
This last time i became homeless
well i was almost 10 years ago
I got some day labor work and i was able to get
back on track, worked in several places
and then i got homeless again
which is always tough but
i felt like i was more prepared this time.
through god's eyes i knew what kind
of things i should do right away. and i
was like help out people because
when god sees you helping out other
people that cannot help themselves,
he helps you out in different ways and
he’s just paying attention
for this stuff.
so i made an effort this last time.
it was three years ago when i became homeless this time.
every day i make sure i help
out someone that definitely needed help,
that definitely looked weak, couldn't help themselves.
so i was paying attention to these type of people
and for three days in a row I was hanging out with these people.
i know i can always get a job
i know how to work
i've worked my whole life
i chose to stop working
Do you deal with sweeps? Do the cops mess with you at all?
i never set up camp
i never set up a camp anymore
So you just keep moving ish?
it's good to keep moving in
bellingham because there's straight killers out there
people who prey on people that
do set up camps.
so unless you know you got a solid foundation to set up a
camp in a trusted area
i would never recommend setting up a
camp anywhere around town.
unless you're ready to get looted or whatever
i always carry my valuables with me.
but still then they target you instead of your stuff, your tent area.
and they take your stuff too if they
seize it right?
we're doing the tarp setup like i did over here
The first time i ever did an overhead tarp
it was a great learning experience for
me and i think it would be great help for
some people.
i can help out people by doing that
just running the trees or
something
and if you if you had access
like we were talking to autumn if you
had access to
some liberated land, would you be
interested in trying to build some
housing for yourself and other houseless
people?
i already know how to view build
beautiful homes that shouldn't cost no
money to anybody.
so yeah that would be immediately
possible.
yeah i already got all the supplies, i know where all the
supplies are. i know this town very well. i know where all the
supplies are
they've been waiting for us for a long
time such as pallets and stuff
they wouldn't technically be pallet homes, it'd be
the wood from the pallets because
i'd be beating the crap out of
these because the pallets
you never know what you're going to get
with them, so some will be very dry and
cracked, some of them can be very green still.
so i'd have to personally go through
each one and try to dismantle it the best i
could and keep all the boards that would
not break apart and i would use those
for the homes
do you know any plumbing? electrical?
i take shits in a barrel and i burn it
okay sounds like a plan. Any last words?
go bamboo, king of the swamp.
okay thank you so much.
