    A sailors trick for you, You should hang your fruit in a small free swinging hammock, too much road bounce will cause it to bruise and ripen too quickly. The hammock will cancel out the road bounce.

    Hi ahle. There was something we did while I was in the Marines to cool water in really hot places where we didn't have ice . We just took the warm or hot water we had, put it in a plain plastic water bottle , soak a preferably clean cotton sock 😂 stick the bottle in it and hang it out in the sun. Keep it wet for about 10 to 15 minutes then let it dry a bit. By the time it's 90% dry the water will be pleasantly chill. We did this in the 115-120° heat . Try that !

    You can buy a cooler and buy two or one bag of dry ice, and then buy regular ice!!! This literally lasted me 4 days and my food stayed frozen during my Coachella weekend trip. It was awesome. If I lived in a van I would definitely use that as a fridge

Even before we started using the propane stove we used a rocket stove we made and all of that works well for cooking food.

    You can eat very healthy foods without a stove, microwave, toaster: fresh fruits, tomatoes, radishes, cucumbers, rye crips like WASA with Jam (needs no refrigeration), freshly sliced lunch meats from the supermarket deli counter, noodle salads, cheeses sliced to order, two slices you eat at once in your car...the list goes on.

      I tried to do jam without refrigeration, but skipping one day using it, it started to mold. Yes it was the normal sugar amount, not reduced. I even kept the jar floating(or sunk) in water, as that was the most stable lowest temperature possible, otherwise a high of 32C inside.

    Learn how to forage. Start with easy and common plants like dandelions, nerstertium, wild mustard, lambs quarters, Shepards purse, black berries, etc. You can have a free salad every day since there are so many tasty and edible species of plants. A little oil and vinegar, lemon juice and salt and pepper can last all monrh and the veggies are free. Be safe when you forage and follow these rules: 1. Make sure you have a 100% positive identification on a plant before eating it. (The plants listed above are easy to id.) 2. Don't harvest near busy roads, polluted areas, areas sprayed with chemicals, etc. 3. Try plants in very small amounts before eating a new plant for the first time. This will reduce the risk of accidental poisoning, allergic reactions, etc.. 4. Be aware of the plants around the ones you are harvesting. This can help you find specific plants as well as helping to avoid harvesting near by plants that may be poisonous. I recommend learning the most common poisonous plants for your area. 5. Be aware of ecosystems and plant propagation and avoid over harvesting. 6. Wash your plants before eating.
    In addition to this fishing can be a great source of food and a good way to spend time and enjoy nature.
    Also regarding hot water it is easy to use solar energy to heat water at least during warmer months. The simplest way is to place a mirror face up on the dash of your vehicle and put a clear plastic bottle on top of it then let the windshield glass and the sun do its work. I'm sure Google and TH-cam can provide many more ways to use the sun to heat water. Some are very simple. Some are more complex and involved. Either way hot water = hot oatmeal. :)
    As a fellow traveler and minimalist I admire the fact you are living the way you are. Good luck and best wishes. ❤

    When I was living out my car I just ate chipotle everyday. Salad bowl with double both beans, double veggies, chicken, 3 sauces, and more lettuce. That cost me about $7.50 a day, since I fast and I just have 1 meal a day. Sometimes I'd go for double chicken and / or chips and guac.

I also don’t have hot water and have become accustomed to boiling water in my kettle for washing dishes or myself or whatever. It’s kinda old timey feeling and I love it.

    I use a sterno stove for basic cooking. You can use it in the vehicle without having to worry about a lot of carbon monoxide like a camp stove, and a 2-can pack lasts me a few months. It works good for heating stuff up like soup, chili or other canned items, as well as some "tv dinners" as long as you thaw it a bit and wrap it in foil. I also pop popcorn in olive oil with it. Most canned goods can be heated in the can, so no need for cookware. Doesn't work well for steak, or anything that needs to be browned, though. I find the biggest issues I have are that I cannot have have any perishable leftovers without a refrigerator, and it's hard to buy the correct portions of things. Sometimes I just look at something I want, but the portion is so big, there is no way I can (or would want to) eat it all in one sitting. That gets frustrating. As far as produce, there is the issue of being able to properly wash it. You can go through a lot of water quickly, and storing a ton of water is a pain for me. Peelable veggies and fruit are easiest. I eat a lot of hummus, avocado, cereal, canned soup, chili, bananas, oranges, nuts, non-refrigerated Hormel dinners, and I usually buy a half gallon of milk and finish it everyday. You can also get custom portion sizes of deli items, and I have literally bought like two slices of meat and cheese for a sandwich or snack. They look at you funny, but oh well. It has been a struggle to adapt because before, I typically cooked everything from scratch and even baked my own bread. My favorite peppers are green. Cheers!

    A typical daily meal for me while living in my car might include a croissant for breakfast, garlic naan bread for lunch (you can even make and prepare your own dips for these), and mini quiches for dinner. You will also be surprised that certain cold products can be kept fresh if you keep them in a cooler pack as long as you are prepared to either eat or drink them at room temperature. These can include cheeses, dips, and espresso iced coffees. Smoked meats are another good item because the meat is already pre-cooked and the packaging is usually vacuum sealed. I eat things that can just be eaten by hand and that don't need to be cooked.

    I currently use a 5 cup rice cooker in my house, at work and in my stealth camping van. It uses a mere 250 watts of power and the recipe options are quite numerous. A small inverter will run it, I've actually been driving and cooking dinner at the same time...

    One thing Ahle, grab the spring water instead of distilled. The distilling process removes all the minerals and trace elements we need, and when consumed can actually leech things out of our body, like say calcium for instance. Thus the new wave of osteoporosis....we should drink alkali water. Walmart spring water tested alkali on every occasion I'm aware of and is as cheap as any other..just a tip, have a great one...

      LOLOLOLOL. The ever so tiny amount of minerals in water is *nothing* compared to the food we eat.

My sweat isn't even salty, since I don't use salt, I'm just fine and can manage higher temperatures easier.

    I i use to travel alot with my dad in his semi and we didn't have a fridge or anything to heat or cook with. We ate peanut butter sandwiches granola bars for breakfast, trail mix, jerkey, dried fruit, fresh fruit if we stopped at a truck stop. And we would fill our cups with water from the soda fountain. Or he drank coffee sometimes. Later on her got one of those ice chest where the ice stays cold for a while we started buying sandwich meat, cheese, vegetables and salads, yogurt, jello, pudding. Now a days trucks come with microwaves and fridges people have it made

  • @phant0m0th_
    @phant0m0th_ 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Delicious non microwavable meals. Things I made while working at a place without anything to make food:
    1. Avocado toast
    2. Sandwiches.
    3. Oatmeal
    4. Granola bars
    5. Broccoli or veggies + hummus
    6. Cucumber, tomato, pita, lettuce, tzatziki or any sauce/dressing (pre made).
    7. Salads. Pre made since you might not have a fridge.
    8. Lettuce wraps pre made.
    9. Granola cereal and almond/coconut milk. They sell small cartons I think for cheap.
    10. Fruit salad.
    11. Beans and quick minute rice (if you have the hot water thing)
    If you have a hot water maker/thing(?):
    1. Soup in a can or box.
    2. Hot oatmeal or cream of wheat.
    3. Steamed veggies.
    4. Ramen
    5. Mac and cheese.
    6. Poached eggs.
    Pantry items are your friend. Bread, crackers and bean dip. Also I would invest in a small stovetop burner. Or to make a small campfire with a small pot... if you can go to a park with the BBQ things. The thrift store sells housewares items for cheap.

      Pretty general at all stores except Aldi's where you can get a 3-pack of 1 green, 1 orange and 1 red for $2.99 which is a deal but then I feel I have to eat them fast. Sometimes if I buy that 3 pack by the time I get around to the last pepper (green) it's getting soggy. Do bell peppers freeze well?

    • @thomas4315
      @thomas4315 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      If you using gas use propane only. And you can cut a hole and cover the propane tank to the hole under. I do as propane lighter than air and will go out the bottom. That why leaking gas head to the basement, and reach the pilot light hot water and boom. And you right crack open the window.

    • @PeterGysegem
      @PeterGysegem 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Actually, propane is heavier than air. 22.4 liters of air is about 29 grams. 22.4 liters of propane gas is about 44 grams, the same as carbon dioxide but the rest of your statement is right on. Yeah, I'm a chemistry nerd. BTW, 22.4 liters is a special volume and represents 1 "mole" of a gas at standard temperature and pressure. Using it made the calculation easier.

You can literally purchase one chicken breast at a time there, or one steak, etc. Get one of those, cut it in half and fry it up, (yea, on a campfire or wrap it in aluminum foil and cook it that way with seasonings you have). voila, meat with your meal.

    And garlic bread and ooooooh my the homemade deserts wow!!!
