Description:

Come meet the inhabitants of Jib Camp. A homeless camp in Stanley Park in Vancouver, B.C. Fueled by crystal meth, the ... all » inhabitants come alive at night, cycling around the city and park foraging for food, and anything they can trade for crystal. Meet James, self proclaimed jibmaster of the park, and his friendly apprentice ,Ian . Both depending on each other to watch each other's back and to help each other through the rough times. All seen through the eyes of Matt, a youth at risk who lives on his brother's couch, but walks the fine line between addiction and homelessness . Matt has even chosen a hollowed out old growth tree as a future home and seems to look up to Jibmaster James as a father figure. Between the fierce cold of decembers foggy freeze, thieving raccoons, and the parks board we see that being homeless is a full time job. And humiliation is humiliation only when you choose to suffer

Deep inside, most Americans know why people are homeless. And the truth is that most Americans are just a pay check away from homelessness themselves but they would rather deny it, which may TEMPORALLY make them feel better about themselves. It seems denial is better than cure but in the end, every one seems to fall to the same ditch. I wonder why?

from what i have found out, in order to get a job you have to have an address. you have to have a home in order to get a job. and you need a job to get a home, its a catch22 if you lose your job which may prompt you to lose your home.

Why does that guy have a helmet? At least they got a cute girlfriend. They seem pretty happy, they should start a fight club!

There are homeless in my town that choose to stay away from shelters,will not clean up,get a job. They can use community services they choose,avoiding the ones that force you to get sober,ect. They choose to drink,use drugs,assault each other,hang with thier buddies who do the same. not the best life but at least they don't have to work every day.

Homeless people choose to be homeless because if they did not want to be homeless then they would get a job and earn the money and not spend it on booze. Homeless people with kids I am ashamed of the parents they should find a safe place to stay like a shelter because my kids are everything to me and I would want to keep them safe. i would also get a job and get back on my feet to show them I was a better person.

I was homeless. Tip: get the hell out of the city. I hitched to the country, picked fruit. You have to camp somewhere safe. I was able to find a job in a second-hand furniture store, and later in a hospital.
