I saw cops arresting an old homeless man with a neck brace on for drinking beer on a park bench near the edmonton river valley. I know public drinking not in a pub or bar is illegal but it seemed like a waste, to put handcuffs on a quiet old man with a neck brace.
If its windy out and its below 20 and snowing under the bridge is the best place to spend a couple days ...you should have one sleeping bag on you in the winter and two that you can hide somewhere in different locations ...
I used to live in edmonton i remember this bridge went into riverdale if its the same one i think it is The low level bridge maybe....that guy must be freezn holy smokes it gets cold there
I hope this guy is doing well. I hope he tries to get a home someday I know it mustn’t be easy and not simple to just get out of this situation, but I hope and pray he can find a way out and live more comfortably. I don’t blame him for leaving hobema I’ve heard it’s not a nice place.
Freaky stuff happens at night in the woods in Edmonton like really freaky I’ve lived in those woods in tents just like this young man and some stuff scared the shit out of me
Really? What kind of stuff. I am interested in the paranormal. I like to walk around these woods during the day time in the summer but I wouldn't venture out there at night time .Please tell us what you saw , heard or sensed otherwise in those woods I love so much.
I remember finding everything I needed out there in the garbage, my tent, my clothes my blankets my food and my empties! Survival to the max! Summertime you defeat the mosquitoes and winter, the cold.
Yeah I know....it was rough, but I managed it....I can relate to this guy in this video, in fact I think I've seen him around in Edmonton at the community centers that serve food to the public. Hope Mission, Boyle Street, Mustard Seed, and Living for Jesus.
In view of some of the comments previously on here....I can say that for an absolute homeless person (that's one who doesn't use resources available like shelters, soup kitchens, drop in centers, Government assistance programs, etc. ) it is not quite that simple to just pick it up and get off of the lifestyle. You see it is something inside the individual who suffers some kind of need, but doesn't feel any desire to persue it. This person is actually content within him/herself for the things out of the world presented. This internal satisfaction is almost always accompanied with an addiction (drugs and alcohol) So that the individual doesn't have to think about the living situation he/she is living in. I know this because I've been out there with them and have seen that in everyone I've met on the street. That they have had some kind of trauma in their lives, some kind of deep hurt that they are protecting within themselves. A key to a dark closet that NO ONE will take.
I completely agree. I'm an addict myself, and now used prescribed meds and therapy to avoid real drug abuse like I was using before. I've always felt that I'm a good person inside and have known so many others like that. I feel as if all of us just have thoughts and feelings we can't bare to face, and we all suffer from uncontrollable thoughts that cause us to feel like we can't survive without avoiding the pain somehow. Then I start feeling embarrassed as if being that weak inside makes me pathetic.
Glad things are better for you now. In 1991 I moved to Calgary & Ended up on the street from 1991 - 1999 ( ROUGH Time )But made it out & Back to Edmonton Same Job last 17 years ! & 4 TH-cam Channels with 70 Thousand Views so far- Life is better .
+WARPAINT GAMER { Canadian } You said you found the tent bottle picking? I also found my tent bottle picking as well bin Edmonton up in Belvedere region. It was mid October 2010 and I pitched camp up in Clairview up on Manning Drive. I was there until the end of january 2011, then I sobered up and got some help.....Good memories when I look at this video.
Congrats on your contribution to raise awareness of the homeless in Edmonton. Is there any hope? Will things change? Its all about the cube, ceiling flooring and 2 side walls.
Ive lived so far back in thy woods i had to come in to hunt ,then a guy on a horse told me to move ,i told him just made my coffe join me ,so jack did i told him owening land is strange thats like trying to own the sky , were still friends😯⏰
This place gives me a stomach ache, nothing but drug addicted people up there, I lived there for 30 years and my life completely changed when I left. I personally don’t know how anyone can live up there, it’s boring as hell
@@imannonymous7707 I watched again, yes it is clear, an animal is trespassing in a distance running from right to left. You can see its upper body for a second or so.
Well... he better in the wood than when he was a (member gang) for 11 years in Hobbema! ...video from you tube ( regulators vol 1 part 3 ) he look young but he 33 years old (2010)
I guess I don't understand Jerry. He comes upon this person and doesn't have any desire nor sense of responsibility to get this individual help. Humans are not animals one films and does not intervene when they are in danger.
Theirs allot of government help too in edmonton its not always pointless work like warehouse jobs and lifting boxes,dude should go to a psychologist and just bullshit and says he's got something.and go on wish,dude you just need AISH.
sometime i wonder if the jobs go to women and" minorities" and imports from somalia and ethiopia. plus computers jobs destroy blue collar industry as did outsourcing
This channel is HEARTLESS, SHAME ON YOU - ATLEAST THROW THE MAn a blanket of some sort Rather then recording him Im sure he felt awkward with you blarrimg at him as if he were an alien urgh
The comments are very depressing blaming this man. I hope he gets help and a warm place.

Sleep with one eye open and ears up! Because the hunter becomes the hunted at night in these woods
Creepy thing to say but ok
I wish there was an update on him
I wonder where he is today 2024 I wish him well, think I met him 😅

Red really stands out too much.

Can you say what scared you?

Interesting video Jerry. Good job.
HE HAS A NICE SMILE!!!!!

Anyone who can survive a single night homeless during an Edmonton winter is a tough individual. You're a survivor, Justin.
Yeah I know....it was rough, but I managed it....I can relate to this guy in this video, in fact I think I've seen him around in Edmonton at the community centers that serve food to the public. Hope Mission, Boyle Street, Mustard Seed, and Living for Jesus.
Hope you're doing better now.
I Am...thank you. Here in Collingwood...Working and living in a nice warm home!
