Yeah. They sure do find a way. But jeez, these folks have regular little encampments in the New Jersey Pine Barrens for Heavens sake. I'm talking little ‘’communities''. And well meaning souls from church groups and the Ocean County welfare agencies do out reach but still, it's some rough living. The Pines cover about a quarter of the lower half of NJ.
Of course you can walk your way out into the city of Toms River and surrounding towns and go dumpster diving but you've got to do a bit of hiking through the brush and the woods.
