Buy/build a solar oven and solar dehydrator- it'll help bring down food costs and you can cook again!

@angelcarnivore Sounds OK. But have you actually tried it? The devil is in the details -- of the execution. I barbecue in parks, and use a propane camp stove and plug my electric hot plate in on the fly. They all work but they are really time consuming. Waiting for a solar over to heat up? and then washing dishes where? I've got better things to do. Like make podcasts, and write books and volunteer for Occupy Wall Street.

@richzubaty Thats right, solar stoves are apsolute rubbish, just get yourself a nice Kerosene Primus stove from yester year, thats what I use and its amazingly cheap on fuel, I can use 1 litre of kerosene for a week.

I love that too "SHITTING & SHOWERING" I couldnt stop laughing, Im gonna share this with everybody. STEALTH.

@LaoSoftware For warmth: multiple layers of clothing or a really thick sleeping bag, or multiple sleeping bags, and your pee will keep you warm if put into a hot water bottle in an emergency, for safety, either an ex-army Swiss Sig'57 bayonet or some kind of gun, or a cast iron pan which can do double duty for cooking on and breaking open peoples skulls, if you don't like any of those options the traditional Maglite 6D works for me, with bright light followed by a blow to the head.

@LaoSoftware Invest in a Diva-cup to save money and time on "that time of the month" and before you move into your car- perhaps put in some insulation.

[richzubaty]

@LaoSoftware I do not have GOOD advice for either of those queries. However, moving to a warm climate and practicing stealth are the two best remedies I can think of. Perhaps some other viewers/responders can get back to you about that. I know of many women who have lived in their car, so there IS a way to do it.

@richzubaty : I've been thinking about living in my car for financial reasons. But I'm worry about freezing in my car. How do I keep warm during the winter months? Since I'm a young single female, how do I keep safe from people who want to harm me? Thanks for your advice.
