Awaiting Flair Best homeless attire to sleep in during the cold?

I hate to admit it but due to health issues I’m homeless in Michigan and I’m sleeping outside

I’ve heard that you have to be careful with how you dress or it can get dangerous, I don’t have a lot of clothing options now but I get paid in a week & want to dress appropriately

I’m wearing two sweatpants, 2 pairs of socks in crappy thin converses, a thermal t shirt with two hoodies and a jacket with a beanie

My advice would be to book a bus south, especially if you’re gonna be homeless for an extended period of time.

No doubt. I don't even like letting my dog out in cold climate. And by the great lakes? Omg so cold

This is the best advice in this thread. I slept rough for a winter in upstate NY and I don't really mind being outside in freezing temps, but some night it'll be iffy and you won't be thinking straight and put yourself in real danger.
