The good news is: the Bay Area is in the middle of a massive cold snap; I can't remember a colder Christmas. It's gotten down to the low 40s nightly for weeks - and it's supposed to start raining nonstop from Tuesday until the following Monday, along with getting down into the 30s.

He's gonna get hypothermia if he's lucky, and severe frostbite AND hypothermia if he's less lucky.
 
I love me some winter camping, and I know many people I'd call experienced who don't know how to do so properly or people who don't mind being covered in dirt, rained on etc just can't endure the cold.

30s and such, you aren't at real risk until you stop moving, if it's raining then you need to know wtf you're doing or it's a safety issue. I am not trying to humble brag but I know what the fuck I'm doing, have the gear etc, if I saw rain coming in that weather, I'd call things off because it's just too easy to fuck up.

Phil... well, we know he's got no skills, no gear, and a massive pussy. This leads me to a theory, maybe he's inflating the costs so he can take a woods selfie and stay in a plush motel while Toren drinks himself warm?

Phil would be at most risk at night, as the body kinda cools as it sleeps and you aren't active. Couple that being soaked in freezing, that's how people go. Aside that we know Phil is a sloth so he wouldn't be strolling around doing antics in the woods, probably posting on FB till his battery dies then gorge on cheese and nap.

If he really does this as he says he would, I really wouldn't rule out some injury.

He doesn't own any of the proper equipment to winter camp, and even if he did he's too exceptional to bring it in the bus with him. He'd need not only a tent, but tarps, a pad or air mattress to keep his body heat off the freezing ground, and a warm / waterproof sleeping bag.

I agree, temps just above freezing aren't damaging in and of themselves. Its the combo of that and an utter lack of anything to keep himself warm and dry that makes this idea exceptional.

I agree that he'll end up inside somewhere and blame it on trans misogyny, somehow. Or kiwis ruined his camping plans, send $ now pls.

I am pretty out of touch of the Phil misadventures, did he get kicked out of his apartment?

No. But Greta has been front and center in the troon awareness sphere, so Phil choose this time to play homeless and downtrodden by begging for bus money to get his rag clothes from California and sleeping in the woods instead of just going to goodwill and getting a coat.
 
Maybe I'm just not thinking like a confident and mentally sound genuine Latina, but if you had the choice, why wouldn't you be homeless in San Francisco instead of Oakland?

That's assuming he practises what he preaches. I'm of the opinion that the only reason he hates cars is because he can't drive (and is probably mentally incapable of learning) and can't afford a car. I bet if someone handed him a self-driving car, all expenses paid, he'd leap right in there.

An attitude adjustment, a realistic sense of his own importance, an exercise routine, a high-pressure hose-down, a job, and possibly a single hard slap.

No, I mean from his tard storage facility. Motherfucker's been homeless forever, he can't have anything of actual value in the fucking thing.
 
Jaimas powiedział(a):
I'm curious: What is it, exactly, that he needs to get?

My guess?

Nothing.

Has anyone here seen any new clothes if his for the winter that he hasn't already been wearing? Excluding a Trans Lifeline sweater he bought, of course.

@Positron is probably right, there's some sort of routine going on here. Someone from Oakland should report back about where Phil goes on these trips.
 
i wonder if Phil has some minor hoarder tendencies - clearly it's more economical to either source some clothes local to him in Oregon from Goodwill or something (unless he's been banned for stealing) than it is to constantly spend hundreds going to CA and back again. he's already largely burned out his contacts in CA because of his antics barring a precious few that we might not know about. inside the storage locker is likely clothing, sure, but also his old cosplays and toys and probably other random stuff that he can't just let go or sell for cheap.

he also isn't keen on the idea of renting a friend+vehicle or a rent-a-van for a weekend to grab everything and stop wasting his tiny bankroll on constant trips for pinches of whatever material he keeps. he has an aversion to cars (?) and can't drive so he gets people to bus him around. surely his roommates don't like him enough to genuinely roadtrip with him - putting their car and insurance (and nose) on the line even if for just the one weekend it would take to move everything.

does Phil have some hoard there he can't let go of because of emotional investment? is he somehow addicted to something and his fix is in Oakland near the storage place?

sometimes, and i've brought this up before with others, is that when someone is really desperately poor, they refuse handouts in many instances because they've lost control over so much of their lives that they'd like to retain some semblance of independence, even if superficially or fleeting. this is why sometimes a homeless guy will refuse food in lieu of cash. maybe Phil has a bit of that desperate need for control and this is an expression of it that also feeds into his desire for asspats and "poor little Phil" or whatever and the stream of donations and online attention strokes his ego and lets him have that bit of control.
 
I wouldn't doubt Phil is hoarding his entire childhood in that one building. Just like how the only thing keeping Chris from having legotropolis everywhere was a fire, the only thing to stop Phil would be to not afford to shelter his childhood.

I don't think he's going down for clothes, he pretty much has everything in his apartment that he needs, and wears it without washing it half the time. All the donations do is just ensure he doesn't miss rent and have to endure his junk being thrown out or sold.

But that's just my theory.

The homeless people in San Francisco are fucking insane. Their collective brains are fried. They don't just ask you for change, they think you are a giant floating eyeball with devil wings coming to take their soul. He'd last ten minutes before being stabbed by a junkie wearing a Pooh Bear onesie.

That's because they've essentially been encouraged, by the lax police and rich lefties who block any legislation that would dare infringe on the bohemian sensibilities they love so much but don't have to deal with the negatives of it. I mean they even let nudity fly until 10 years ago. But things are changing people are tired of crazy drifters treating the city like their toilet

There's bohemian sensibility and then there's not wanting to watch a hobo eat spoiled ice cream out of the gutter in a supposedly "nice" part of the city.
 
When I saw "financial solidarity" & "need money by Tuesday," I thought for sure he was heading down to see Greta. Stupid me for thinking Phil was going to be selfless for once.

People who don't tend to go out in the woods often, like Phile I'm sure, tend to be disturbed by the amount of noises you can hear out there, but can't see. I'm sure that Philly is going to hear leaves crinkling or some shit, and a few animals calls, before determining that the kiwis are trying to surround him, and rushing to a computer to talk about it.
