lots of dry foods bought on ebt in your registered county then hit the road:
always find cool, shaded parking if you can, if you cannot. dont park there long enough for ambient air to heat up your car. also your car engine keeps the front of your car hot, bad place to store food.
a frozen gallon of ice can stay cool for up to a week if you park in shade, and keep your cooler mostly wrapped in a blanket. it takes at least 3 days for the gallon to properly freeze
a blanket or jacket can be good insulation for fresh cold food.
lentils and quinua cook faster than beans and rice using less fuel
precooked rice pouches, humpseed and hummus make a good, cold immitation bean and rice burrito
wheat tortillas take a long time to mold. in fact i dont think i have ever seen them mold over
wash the salt brine off your canned veggies,
thicken canned soup with hempseed and flaxseed
de-shelling sunflower seeds keeps your mind active and awake when you are driving tired.
if your propane stovetop grate is high above the burner, see if you can flip over to bring it closer to the flame
thin steell pan uses less fuel then thick cast iron pan
if your in a tight space/small car, storing your stuff in cardboard boxes is way more comfortable than rigid plastic crates and containers. the cardboard flexes around your body and deforms into tight spaces. the drawback is you must replace it often as cardboard molds.
pull a coffee cup out the garbage at mcdonalds and get free refill.
winco used to have these awesome dollar mre's
i would put one 8oz mre pouch in my 24oz thermos, add 16oz of free McCaffee coffee to thermos, close lid. drink my 8oz morning coffee. 15-30 min later eat my mre (add hempseed and diced onion) and then have more coffee in the later morning and afternoon
