I want to point out that the purpose of this 'challenge' was to bring the attention to the issue of homelessness and not make fun of it. If you have watched our videos in the past, you will recognize that the tone of the video is far less comedic than usual. And to those sending me hateful emails by just seeing the title, please watch the video first.
Savage!
Agreed
Yes sir!
Wait u said "me" r u the writer or the narrator making this comment
Do this I am episode
These challenges are going to escalate to being a serial killer for a week.

@Schroeder Van Pelt hmm, yeah. But he didn't take any videos or tapes. So how will he show proofs?
@UC5IQzaHz9W310qe3T0ca36A upon watching the video a second time i realized that the entire thing is animated so you must be correct. You sure got'em. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Is that a joke cause If it’s not I don’t wanna laugh if it’s not
A homeless man had been a regular at the restaurant I work at, and after almost a year of giving him free meals and being friendly, he got a job and this last holiday season he gave all employees $20.

i would of declined the money

It’s 20 bucks you don’t need to be financially stable for that
@@MLCLAN_SG free money
Absolutely beautiful story!!! Thank you for sharing this with us!!!
I was legit homeless for 4 months. I still did what I could to help others. You’d be surprised how many homeless people are actually quite generous and helpful.
Many Homeless give their things away because they are depressed and are constantly contemplating suicide.. it's a very lonely sad life so yeah when a man or woman tries to give you their brand new boots or coat or backpack someone just bought them. Seek some authority figure out for them because they need help. Honestly Nobody on the streets gives brand new things away unless they are either depressed or dying of cancer
Once I meet a homeless guy and gave him a large pizza that was fresh out of the fast food joint i was at, Now I know why he started to cry...
No One awww
People way no one is nice enough. Meet the no one. No one is perfect

Imagine ur finally about to see ur girl after 3 days and she doesn’t stop yelling at u 😂

It's out of concern for his health and such.
you wouldn't say that if it was your mom yelling at you. she was worried for him, its natural to shout when you love someone

Funny and underrated comment though!
@Godgirl24_7 seriously. You don't even NEED to eat in this timeframe. I've gone 9 days without food. -facepalm-
I am homeless and have been for way to long however I really appreciate the making of this video for so many reasons that I cannot express all of my thoughts. We are not diseased and I say that because like he explained he was looked at in a different way which is at least I believe the worst part of being homeless. Secondly getting anything from food, money, toiletries, (someone just gave me a zero degree sleeping bag recently), to clean socks- this one is huge, and even just a smile. A smile or a wave hello goes along way when your treated like your below low if that is even a thing. There is just one thing that this video could not illustrate and that is when you first actually become homeless. There are so many thoughts sprinting like Usain Bolt through your mind its overwhelming. How did I get here? What am I going to do? I am scared! How am I going to survive, I don't know anything! Am I going to be OK? Where am I going to sleep? I give him credit for even trying but to go out and know that in 3 days it's going to go back to normal again and that it is going to be over is so much different than it actually is being a reality. Sorry for the long comment, I could write a book on this topic (maybe I should). Its really hard being homeless so if you could next time you see someone down and out just appreciate what you have and what we don't! Thank you. -D.G-
Much respect brother.

We should all leave food that looks damaged, that way theres more for the homeless
🤦♂️
He probably wasn’t thinking about it
He’s a little confused, but he’s got the spirit.
what? Doesn’t make any sense
@@ramgaming2540 The food with damaged packaging but still completely safe gets thrown in the trash, or donated to food banks. Homeless, or people that really need food but can't afford it will gladly use those items. OP meant that if we left those items on the shelf, eventually it will go to the needy. I've had to visit food banks before. A lot of items I've received had nothing wrong besides the packaging. I've also worked in a supermarket before. Seen the amount of food that gets tossed.
I've been homeless. It's no picnic, but you learn the ropes. Hook up with somebody else because to a degree, you must have a little trust. I found out where to be warm when I slept and how to make sure I got fed. Now, I do try to help others who are still in that space. I do believe in karma...
Why you believe in Karma?

When I was homeless I used my grandmothers address on the application to get a job (not enough to pay rent) but I could afford to keep my $10 planet fitness membership. I slept in the locker rooms dressing room unbothered. Ate whatever I could get my hands on while saving the money from my job to get a car. After I got my car I could get a better job in the next town over to pay for an apartment. That’s the story of how I beat homelessness. I’m 19 btw
I was in the same place in August. I'm also 19. I was down for about a month and a half. I got a job at a restaurant as an assistant manager and bought myself food from that. I had a backpack full of clothes, water and a toothbrush. I slept outside of restaurants when they were closed and left before the opening crew so no one would notice me. Either that or I'd sleep in a shed in the back of the store I worked at. I eventually found someone with a spare bedroom that I could rent out and here I am.
Alexus Benjamin I’m glad you made it out of that sinkhole my friend. Some people never make it out. We are a testament to all the young folk who aspire to do something great but think the task is too overwhelming. If you fight long and hard enough you can accomplish anything in your path and more.

I've been homeless in a few different ways (urban, tent in the woods, and now mobile living in a converted truck thank goodness) and I really appreciate this episode and the integrity of the way this challenge was done. I love how you guys leverage your platform to spread empathetic and realistic messages like this. The end is especially admirable; I completely agree that the majority of people on the street are compassionate. Something I've said since I was an urban street kid is that "98% of people were always warning me about how bad 98% of people are". I'm really grateful you guys are giving that kind of humanizing insight to your audience. You're really helping to positively influence a new generation to be more aware and have more perspective on lives less privileged than their own. Great work, thank you.
Hope you have a great rest of you're life man
@@tofudog5699 Aww that's really sweet, thanks :) Yeah since I wrote this comment I've been fortunate to be able to go back to school and I'm almost done paying for a tiny bit of remote land that I'm going to build a cabin on, so definitely making progress!

This struck a chord with me. My mother, brother, and myself were always on the move because my biological father got involved with the wrong people. The closest i've been to homeless was living in my moms car when we were pretty young and eating timed out mcdonalds food, bless my moms boss she let that slide as an employee to feed her kids. Since escaping that situation, we've always been in the really low income bracket and i've done things i'm not particularly proud of to make rent and get food. I'm thankful that i've been able to hold down a flat with my family before and now with roomates as i'm trying to go to college so that I may support myself better with future employment. The thing I really empathized with is how he was being stared at and judged based on his presentation. I frequently get the same treatment but for the reason that i'm blind and walk with a white cane. My friends always let me know when i'm being given the stink eye. somehow both that people assume that i'm getting special privilages and treatment just standing in line like everybody else, and also like i'm just broken, a walking freakshow or something to that effect. I aggree with and promote sentiments made at the end and that is that beyond a persons appearence, there is a human being that is just trying to exist and survive and a small act of kindness goes such a long way even something as small as treating someone with respect and kindness. I'm incredibly thankful for kindness and generocity shown to me by total strangers, and even though I don't have means, I try to give back with my time to help others. This isn't a contest, i'm well aware of those who have it much worse than I, but I thought I would share my perspective. Have a great day or night and stay safe.

He already could be arrested. If they wanted, they can just ask the Infographics who he is, boom he's arrested.
You don't get arrested for writing fiction.
Usually there’s a big difference between “exsparation” dates and “best by” dates
I had been homeless for 22 years trying figure out what "home" was. I was literally homeless for 3 1/2 years. Not every city has shelters and it isnt easy. But to add on top of it you get stares, brutal fights, and deaths. I had to fight off wildlife and hide my camp as in my town the cops will destroy entire camps just for being a blemish to the city. And because you are homeless you cant recover that last photo of your family that keeps you concentrated on surviving. You dont have service on your phone. People dont always help. And it was the hardest time cuz in a camp you cant be too picky about the company of your camp. Mostly because you dont kno the habits or dislikes of any given person. I had to help my camp by providing something. I couldn't just stay in my tent and hide. I had to use my knowledge of berries, climb trees for eggs, and my axe that i had found in the woods in an old abandoned shack 10 miles away. Its not a joke. And had the guy from this video been noticed he very well could have been killed, hurt, or robbed just for doing a video about being homeless
Why.....why the police do that
I’m confused, you said you were homeless for 22 years and then you said that you were homeless for 3 1/2 years. Maybe I’m just dumb.
I was saying i didnt truly know were my home was until now
@the person who asked me too
the person who asked why are you picking on me?
Hi, am a truck driver and this channel keeps me focused on the road. Normally I usually suspect homeless people are addicted crackheads but after listening to this episode I gave a homeless man my sandwich from my lunchbox because I didn’t know if the man had eaten that day or where his next meal would come from. In a sense you changed my perspective about homeless people.
I know this is three years later lol, but that’s awesome to read & you did the right thing. I have a pretty strict “Give to him who asks you” policy, simply because I can never really know their situation but either way I’m fortunate enough to not have to be the one asking.
I know this is 4 years later, but this video still has that same effect. It made me store all my change in the glove box for homeless people.
Thank you for doing this. I was homeless on and off for about 5-6 years, nearly two years on the streets, and people really don't understand anything about it. I had no idea before about how tough it is, especially as a female. I was on the streets for 7 months of my pregnancy, horrible stuff!!! Everybody is human, and you'll never know someone's story until you genuinely ask.
Who are you

@@msmeowmeow5107 really🧐? Can you prove me😒?
I did this once. My organization made the peer counselors become homeless for a day where we had to see it in their perspectives. It is dangerous out there. People can do golden showers on you(don't ask how I know this), a lot of stealing, and a lot of fighting. On the other hand, there are a few that want to help like direct you to a church for food, water, and clothes.
I was homeless a few years ago for 4 months, This video really hit home. I'm in a much better quality of life now, but that experience left me never taking anything for granted. Thanks for shedding more light on this.
Glad you're in a better place! I know the struggle!
If I may ask: How did you manage to get your life back on track?

I'm homeless WITH kids (and its not the first time) and that's exactly what I thought! And no, I'm not a drug addict or anything. That's why they looked at him funny. They assume if you're homeless, you must be mentally ill or addicted to something.

@@oscarpelaez2283 Thank you
Nah man y'all are completely missing the point and being way too harsh. It's WAY more helpful at scale to reduce food waste and thus improve the economy, in terms of foundational changes that help unhoused people. The VAST majority of food put in dumpsters by grocery stores and restaurants is destroyed intentionally by mixing with bleach etc. due to liability risks from people taking it, so the idea of intentionally leaving some food to be thrown out is moot in nearly all cases anyway -- and the fact of the matter is, choosing only pristine food/packaging really creates a lot of economic loss and inefficiency which contributes to people not being able to make a living wage. Before anyone jumps down my throat with some confused naive rant: I'm unhoused now, I've been homeless or housing insecure at any given time for several years, I work with tons of other unhoused people in founding a nonprofit related to these issues, and I've put a lot of study into this. You kids need to zoom out on the topic and consider the greater context here before leaping to shortsighted judgments.

I'm from new Zealand and can totally relate to being homeless.
I was homeless and on the streets for about two and a half maybe 3 years, I wasn't so much panhandling because I was always on the move travelling up and down country. Some towns I stopped on to see if there was any work even just a small job that needed to be done and sure enough I got plenty of those. Some people were even generous enough to take me in a few days while the job was underway, I have countless tales of the general public helping those who look like they need it... so long as you don't look intimidating and pose no immediate threat but I also found that the way you make yourself appear in the eyes of them will also get you along way, I've had random people from all walks of life take me in and give a helping hand. Very accurately portrayed 👏👏👏

I was homeless for a while when I first got out of the military. It's pretty rough but it's possible to get threw. I went to the library and actually made a resume and filled out job applications. Then I would go in wearing my nicest cloths saying I applied and eventually got a job. I am very fortunate but this video made me reminisce on those moments.

Still "Robbed" is a huge exaggeration.

Dim Wit she does sound like hard work. I don’t think I would want a gf whose initial reaction is to get upset, rather than be grateful he called and is alive.
for whole 72 hours? you really gave it all to went in depth. investigating to its core.
Always try to find public libraries, access to the internet is a very powerful tool.
You can find franchise gyms that offer free membership trials and then have access to a shower. Also, the amount of stuff people just give away online is incredible. You can find soup kitchens or volunteer facilities that will usually feed you.

Makes sense
Pro tip; If you end up having to be homeless for three days, it'll actually be much easier to just not eat anything at all. Eating a little bit here and there will keep you hungry, low on energy and generally feeling bleh. If you don't eat, the sensation of hunger will be gone almost completely after the first day, and you'll enter ketosis, so your body will switch to using your stored fat and old, damaged cells for nutrition (unlike when you eat regularly and the body uses calories from food as a primary source of energy). You'll actually feel much more energetic, mentally aware and overall better - plus it's healthy, because you'll be getting rid of excess fat and damaged cells that could down the line turn into cancerous tumors.
Fasting is a powerful tool for health and longevity.
I really appreciate that you did this experiment.
Really enjoyed your out look now you have had a taste of what it's like.
The first time I was truly homeless it was because my bank wouldn't wire money I planned to use coming back from vacation in California.
I walked all the way to Wyoming with no cash just a kid right out of highschool. It took me 6 months.
Without showering or sleeping in doors.
Rain blizzards cold danger starving.
Ever since than I end up back on the streets all the time. I can never walk past a homeless person without treating them like a human being.
My best advice for helping homeless people is just talking to them. Even if you don't give them anything just a smile or hello can make their day.
So I respect you did this never judge anyone If you haven't been in there shoes
I guess the danger part depends on where you are. I was living in my truck for a little while. The worst part of the day was night time, finding a spot where I could park and not be harassed. Most of the other homeless people I met were incredibly helpful, sharing knowledge and whatever they had with me. There were regular people who were unbelievably kind. I went to cash in some returnable bottles one day. One woman left her ticket in the machine for me. Another man gave me a shopping cart full of bottles. And then he gave me $10. I was almost $30 ahead even before I cashed in my own cans and bottles. I also found out that only about half of the people I met and talked to (not very hard as homeless people are very willing to tell their story if you are willing to listen) were addicted to drugs or alcohol. People had lost their housing for all sorts of reasons. Foreclosure, medical reasons, bad relationships, mental illness, etc.
With the cost of housing becoming a major problem, there will be more and more people living on the streets and no one should judge. I met several people who did have jobs. They simply didn't make enough to afford housing.
I think pride is the biggest hurdle for a homeless person. There is help from many different sources, but you have to ask for help to get help.
I haven't been homeless. But, I was paying around $700 a month in credit card debt. With rent, food, car payments, and other expenses it all adds up. I've gone to food shelf/banks, and volunteered there in the past. I've gotten WIC and welfare when I didn't work for a long period of time, too.
It's a sad reality we live in
Rip, in Australia you can collect cans and bottles and put it in the ‘return and earn’ machine, then it gives you 10c. You can even put multiple items at once, and it gives you a freaking receipt too!
Isn’t it normally only in Sa and nt
Shining Emeralds nvm
You can do that here too. About 5cents a can
i know it isnt in vic
In Germany it‘s even 30cts
Thank you for sharing your insight on this experience. I am sure it has brought light to many. Make more content that is valuable like this one.
Much like your experiment I went from being a college student with a full time job working on tech and within a few unfortunate months ended up homeless for a year. Part of that spent surviving deep in the Oregon forest. I have to say much of my observation was the same and we even used some similar tactics. The hard part of getting out of it was someone giving you the chance. I met a lot of people trying to help eachother that could barely help themselves & ended up banding together for a time. The one lesson I learned that wasn't covered is that there is a clear division that are some homeless that are lifers and without a lot of help will most likely they will stay homeless. Others do have the skills and the aptitude to get themselves out of it eventually and most likely will given the chance. Its hard out there and after the business I built failed I was homeless again & it had become my biggest fear. Luckily things are more stable now but its amazing how fast things can happen where you find yourself on the street and being treated as less than human. And going from a well liked business owner that did lots of community outreach to being shunned by society. I have to say I did pride myself on never stealing. I also always kept a nice pair of clothes for interviews which definitely helped.
I wanna meet the guy that does all these challenges.
You mean the guy who writes the words that the narrator reads? There is no real challenge guy.

I was homeless for 10 months and had to dig myself up out of it. You learn a lot about yourself.
How did u get out of it?
No doubt.
Same
Wow ... That's Wonderful
Same here. Homeless for 2 year. So nice someone helped me by allowing me to live with them.
This is quite accurate, i remember being kicked out by dad for a week back in highschool, and that was a pretty humbling experience
“People look at me like I’m a criminal!” (As he runs off with the donuts.) lol
This calls for the challenge: "I spent a week feeding the homeless"
Now, I'll see that that challenge comes to light
Bless you dear. People like you make the world a better place.

That means a lot to me :) thank you but I haven't started yet. However, once I do, I will be uploading the video here
I just got done with something close to that. Housing a few homeless while only having a camper myself as a home (not sure if that's a step up or down from the shed) End of challenge. There good. My pets are homeless and im close to it. I no longer feel safe there and don't have money for the bills. I won't give up my babies.

I am so glad he did this....I can tell he really went out and did the challenge because anyone's who's been homeless knows this is a typical day in the life.
I was homeless for like 3-4years years but we had a good community thing going on and still help and hang out with my old homeless friends when I'm around my old neighborhood
‘Treated me like a criminal!’
‘I know what I did was definitely illegal...’
INCREDIBLE JOB!!!😄😄😄
🤣 I caught it to
I remember their was a homeless guy asking for money for food and I told him I won’t give you money but I’ll buy you food he decline and left... another time I was with a my sister and her friend and a homeless guy was waiting for me to get off the car he said I didn’t want to approach the females so I waited for you he straight told me I just looking for $2 dollars to go to the dollar theater to watch a movie and I believe him around the corner their was a dollar theater I gave him $10 and told him to buy himself popcorn and a soda and enjoy his movie their was so much happiness on his face I just smile, after I gave him the money he went straight to the theater
those theaters are a good place to sleep for a while, some are ever 24 hours so for a few bucks you can sleep safe and stay warm, I speak from experience HAHAHA
Thank you Mr. Infografics guy for teaching me so much. I can’t imagine what you have to go through to do these things even when you describe them. So thanks again.
really shines a light on the homeless tho, especially how the are treated when in contact with the well-off, like what you said about the library experience, even just looking homeless made people judge....

@@official_pierre6730 are you dumb
My problem is that I don’t know who’s legitimately homeless and who’s not
willing to give them food or clothing but not money. when offered to go with them and pay for their meal, most will turn you down. that says a lot right there. so you're right to be mistrusting
alex trebek exactly. I’ve watched too many docs about homeless panhandling until they have just enough to get their drug of choice, I know that’s definitely not the case for all homeless, and I’d love to help people who are legitimate and need the money for food and water, but sadly I just don’t anymore
alex trebek, true, when I went to France, me and my fam were at a train station, there was s girl with nice clothes on asking for money, we offered her a sandwich and she declined. 😒

Think about what you just said. You can’t trust who’s homeless and who’s not, so that’s why you don’t help? Regardless, it’s the thought that counts. Theres lots of fake homeless, especially in So Cal, but even Jesus posed as a homeless man.
When I was homeless, I accepted any help that I could get. A cheeseburger at McDonalds off the dollar menu, an extra shirt someone had laying around, a ride to pick up or drop off an application, etc. If I absolutely had to ask someone for money, I let them know why I needed the money. I hated asking people for money though but I do realize there are homeless people out there that do. I don't judge them though. They're just trying to survive. Not all of them are asking for money for drugs (I won't deny that some are though).
I guess my suggestion would be to ask them what they need the money for. If they don't want to tell you, then tell them that you can't help them. If they tell you what they need it for, offer to buy it for them. If they still refuse, then that's on them. Walk away. You can't help someone unwilling to accept help.
I love watching this show I learn so much ! It's like a UA-cam encyclopedia!! If I was the girlfriend I be scared for him if I dont hear from bf for 8 to 12 hrs I freak out!! I drive a semi truck I try to avoid parking in Los Angeles Miami Compton chicago st louis and Pittsburg there's alot of panhandlers there and some are violent - so glad u were safe !
