Two words-dumpster diving. I pretty much agree with Rowan, though. I've run in with similar people on the AT, who simply don't bring a thing, and rely on the charity of those who DID save and buy food and equipment. I have left home with under $10 in my pocket plenty of times, whether hitch-hiking or on my bicycle, but this simply means I'll have to stop and work, not beg, a time or two to get where I'm going.
