I'm sure it's lots of fun in the summer, but would be pretty miserable in winter. I'd consider it a form of homelessness, even if by choice. Obviously, if you have money and a job, you probably wouldn't be that likely to get on the spiral into full-blown homelessness, but I can well imagine that some people would be more likely to get on it.
