    Post-industrial Buddhism is what it is. Yeah like it’d be great to do that in a cave or forest or open prairie but who the fuck can afford those things?

    Abandoned buildings are free as long as you don’t fuck with the native inhabitants’ meth.

        Transportation to and from the forest isn’t free.

        Also some places have laws against camping on public land to discourage homelessness and these would likely fall afoul of those.

            Yes, but not as many people go to abandoned buildings so you’re less likely to be seen by others and reported.

              I’d be way more concerned about running into someone in a 'bando than out in the woods though.

              Hiker in the woods is going to go the other way. A homebum in a bando? Who knows how they’ll react.

            You’ve never seen an abandoned building in Baltimore, DC Philadelphia, Detroit, or Chicago?

            Outside of the tourist zone you can find wastelands of abandoned buildings.

              I’m not doubting there are abandoned buildings in cities. I’m doubting any city within the US with the exception of the southwest is more than a few miles from a forest.

      I would just worry of asbestos or heavy metal contamination in the buildings, especially if I’m sleeping on or near the floor
