"There's no place like home."
-Season Ten, Episode Eleven
Hunters never go home; they don't have one to go to. No one place they can call their own, nowhere to know they have a bed waiting for them.
It isn't safe in their line of work.
Hunters make their family and friends their home. It is the closest they will ever have.
John Winchester instilled this lesson into his sons early in life. The first time Dean asked why they had to keep moving, John gave them that speech. Every time they moved, he told them again.
The Winchester boys got used to not having a home, but they were never homeless.
They had each other.
