I grew up in the Tri-Cities area and have been far too homesick for my own good for several decades. I'd like to return home and contribute to the community. However, I'll need safe places to stealth park before replanting roots. I prefer to avoid shelters as they're not always safe for women. By now, I'm sprouting greys and am certainly no scrapper! Does anyone have suggestions for safer areas? Thank you for any insights.

Edit: Given I'm trying to avoid being outdoors over winter, this is speculatively planned for early spring. Thank you for all your helpful comments.

Both my adult children have left the nest. I'll need to shift into living from my vehicle for awhile during this adjustment period. It's a bit overwhelming. Does anyone have advice as to what essentials to have with me? Of course, the list will be focused on the practical, storage will be prime real estate and safety foremost. This is in Canada. Thank you for any ideas!
