RE: Secrets For Urban-Survivalists: The only place in Amsterdam to have a nap without being fined is the public toilet.
Do all the public toilets charge a fee there now? also, if you had access to a small tent, would there be anywhere you could discretely pitch it without getting moved on and not too far from the center of amsterdam? best of luck mate.
Edit: To answer your question: I think you have to pay everywhere yes. Also a lot in bars (customers free, others 50 cents)
I am an expert in that! I had once a tent and a sleeping bag. The 2 second self-pitching Quechua!
I was sleeping in all major parks, even far away at RAI.
If I would have one again. With good isolation mattress and a nice sleeping bag. Heaven..
But it all gets dirty fast and it has it's pros to pay the hostel (at least 5 times a week). It's warm, there are people and a shower.
When i sleep in the tent I also have costs. Body wipes, public transport. But the problem with pitching tent is fear. Once someone visited me at night. Scary. It grinds your primal needs' nerves. Security while sleeping. Not good for the nervous system.
Oh okay. Yeah I can imagine kipping in a tent near to the city does play on the primal fear, people not leaving you alone and keeping clean would be harder. I hope you find something.
Me too. Thanks! I will come up with something big hopefully.
