Getting reading to hitchhike the roads of Autralia.

Hello all, this is my first post on the forum so I would like to introduce myself, my name is James I'm 26 years old and I live in Australia. I am planning a very long trip on the roads here in AUS im actually wanting to make the road my home and never return. I have purchased my self a decent pack and i'm slowly getting all the bits and pieces I need to live on the road. Now one question I have for you all is, if I'm out on a very long stretch of road for a few days and my water is running low what should I do? the one thing that scares me about this journey is running out of water or not been able to find water.
I have recently watched a documentary on a Australian bloke who has lived on the roads for 30 years, he does not use any money and does not except lifts off anyone, he walks all over Australia sleeping on the sides of roads and highways, the only food he eats is what he finds on the side of the road and he drinks from old discarded coke bottles he finds on the side of the road he has also drank from puddles of water and dams, this man seems relatively healthy, he does not look skinny he looks quite fit to me, in the documentary he said he lived of baked beans and tins of spaghetti, what I don't understand is were does he get his tinned food with no money while living on the road?
These are my two main concerns while been out on the road food and water, Chris seemed to be able to find food and water, this Australian bloke seemed to be able to find food and water, I just don't understand how these inspiring people with no money when in remote places find food and water and survive.
It would be good to here from others to get ideas thank you for your time James.
