In reading about other folks experience with living out of their vehicles and being part of the mobile homeless, I have learned that simple things like being able to heat water for tea is of paramount importance. Or, just heating up a can of soup. Imagine having a little bit of money to spend. What would you buy? I would buy the makings of some fairly healthy food, plus some tea bags, and even coffee. I invested in a Smart Mug, which heats up water by plugging into a cigarette lighter. As an ultra-lightweight backpacker, I can also heat water and food on a hobo stove, but being able to heat water inside my vehicle is absolutely fascinating to me. I have both a Smart Mug and an old-style coil immersion heater. Where there is a will, there is a way.
I know that I will probably never be truly homeless, but I need the security of knowing I can move my own little turtle shell around the country at will, and have my earthly possessions with me without having to pack and store them. I'm so excited about this idea that I wish I could just snap my fingers and make it happen.
