      It's easy to be a bum in BC. Try being one in Regina Sask. We'd eat him alive back in the day. Southern BC people talk tough, but it's all talk.

      Sounds like as a construction worker he went the “poser” route. I grew up with a dude like this. They actually need money, lots of it. They go around with cute catch phrases begging and getting one way gifts from friends until the joke is over. Then they move and work construction. When he breaks a bone he really becomes a “poser”. Never ends well. Sad cause he seems talented.

    We had a guy like this in Canmore, Alberta living near the "rock pile" next to the bow valley river except he was like 40 but he was the coolest dude ever. He'd hitch hike to Banff or Lake Louise, spend a week then come back to work a few shifts at one of the restaurants to get enough money to do it again a week or two later lol. He'd pay one admission fee for the hill then hide after closing time on t he mountain and just camp out. I miss that time in my life, 2010-2014 in my late teens-early twenties. I'll probably head back out there at some point permanently. This is how alot of people live out there man. People from the east just don't get it. It's super lax in these smaller mountain towns.

    The mystery of life isn't a problem to solve, but a reality to experience. A process that cannot be understood by stopping it. We must move with the flow of the process. We must join it. - Charley Ager, Whistler ski bum

Health insurance, retirement plan and a warm place to sleep, that’s all I need. Oh, and a cell phone. But I don’t need anything else. Health insurance, 401k, place to stay, phone. That’s all I need!
