Asking familys if you can stay at their house often leads to some unforgettable experiances.

Don't ask yourself. If you are invited by them that is fine but don't ask yourself. Because even they don't want to take you they may often find it polite to "help" you out.
This and other points in your post make me think that you have tendency to shift your burden to other people. You carry less and feel better, manage cheaper, but continuously take advantage of hospitality.  Unfortunately I have seen quite few backpackers and "hippies" with this mentality.
If you have right gear you can be INDEPENDENT. You can go where you want to. That is what I value.
P.S. I carry pocket knife every day.
