It is pure survival, just different surroundings, and proximity of city’s structures against nature only ones.
Actually your story confirmed, what I thought all along, that having survival B.O.B. pack or not is only first part of the story.
To survive longer term you need a community.
Structure of that community will differ from one group to another and for example: robbers and criminals will probably have physical power as big part of their hierarchy, and those who simply want to get by will just have a pecking order more or less with some form of partially preserved human dignity woven into the fabric of that association.
Being agreeable and with no chip on a shoulder would help too, as part of the story showed in “brush” with authorities.
Of course different dynamics will apply where there is no “better off” part of the society, when all are in the same boat.
But even then some principles of survival when only some are homeless would still apply.
Understand this is well behind you now, are you “proofed” against that happening again?
And above all, thank you for the opportunity to learn in detail part of your story.
