well this is my current kitchen

Killed any hookers, yet?

abcd

I had this painting and a hoodie with a bunch of butts on it for a week.ihadjust happened to decide delete all my porn hours before losing cell service
I recycle granola/trailmix bags from goceryoutlet andrefill them with bulk granola/trailmix from WinCo

will cardboard mold? is it a bad material for food storage? do you wanna see where I store my meats and dairy? how long can oil and crust and crumbs sit on my cast iron until it turns rancid?
my tortilla heating pan is a small -folding- pan caked I layers upon layers of burnt tortilla crust
..also

also...will granola bags mold? should I not re-use them? what about granola bags that have had melted chocolate or yogurt chips in them for over a month
this is my $1.50 grocery outlet purchase

I guess I will be the one who asks the million dollar question. OP why are you living in a van?

no one wants to see cold food storage? 3hrs ago it had a Mickey's 40oz, a keystone and a lagunitas hops stupid
picture:
frozen gallon of water can stay cool for almost a week
hard low moisture cheeses
dryish grossout meat
weird whole wheat and rice tortillas and what not are more resiliant and take long to mold than flour and corn tortillas
during the day when I'm using my vehicle I keep the cooler in the back insulated with pillows and blankets. the engine makes the cab hot.at night I throw the cooler in the front and insulate it, better a couple hours of engine heat as opposed to a full night next to me and my bodyheat

breathable,replaceable paper bags of peppers and roots I keep next to my cooler. maybe I should just replace my cardboard boxes often enough so I don't have to deal with mold

and a couple hours ago I found these in a compost bin. hopefully in a few hours I will wake up sober, drive to my parents house and reheat them in the toaster oven, I'll probably make my own sauce that isn't as pleasant as the stuff in that you buy in a jar

years ago my landlord got into it with the bank and I stopped paying rent and because I didn't pay rent I didn't need a job and because I had no job I could travel all the time for however long I wanted. oh and if you don't have a job then you have lots of free time to cook!

If you don't have a job how can you afford gas and canned goods? Sucking dick at truck stops?

Cardboard can mold if you keep it wet/covered in food materials. Almost anything can mold. Just try and keep it dry if its coming into contact with food itself.

On another note, dude, I feel for you. I hope you get help, but good luck either way.

I just woke up

and I just made $550 in a day doing unskilled labor, most days that week I averaged about $300. I try to work no more than 3months out of the year, last year I only worked 3weeks
canned food was free

la costena is my shit, dude
hopefully that's refried beans, the one with lard
steal a couple tortillas and you got yourself a meal baby

you are truly a man after my own heart OP

>On another note, dude, I feel for you. I hope you get help, but good luck either way.

This. There are literally hundreds of thousands of food donation centers and homeless shelters. But it helps alot if you're black... you'll get tons more free shit.

But still, there's no need for you to live out of a Van

>There are literally hundreds of thousands of food donation centers and homeless shelters. But it helps alot if you're black... you'll get tons more free shit.

Even niggers don't live out of Vans anymore.

Here in San Francisco, we give every hobo a cot and a hot meal.

>mercantile&fancy
fancy indeed

hey dude doing something you enjoy and receiving money for it is called an honest day's work in this country

>that chart
it's almost like population, tax revenue, and governmental spending rise with time

This. Have you tried applying for any type of assistance OP? I work in social services. Let me know if you need any help with what forms/documents are needed.

There is no reason anyone should be homeless with all the resources and money we have available for people like you.

terry?

Chocolate isn't going to grow mold. Yogurt might, eventually, but isn't particularly prone to it. But, if there's any moisture in the bag, it's going to get nasty at some point.
Either clean the bags properly, or get fresh bags every now and then.

>There is no reason anyone should be homeless with all the resources and money we have available for people like you.
>spouting this nonsense in 2017

Holy shit, seen the latest budget proposal there Ms. Muffit? There's certainly plenty of money available for mechanisms and institutions to kill people, corporate subsidies, and tax breaks for the top 1%. For anything else, not so much.

Fucking hell this thread is depressing

i recieved a street cleaning ticket for 73$ then within the hour i found a $50 bill on the floor and then i go to my mailbox the next day and the $83ticket i contested 9 months ago in los angles arrived with a notice i must pay it, woooo

are there low income ticket reduction plans for people with no income?

i dont know where you are but here if the police catches the homeless with unpaid tickets they put them in jail for a night or two.

Your van, decor and cleaning situation looks atrocious. You look like a stereotypical vandweller, and not in the good, new way.

Clean up your shit and get some sort of income going ya bum

>natty daddy

The new king of malt liquors. Everyone seems to be sleeping on it.

...

wipe the pan down with some salt and some scrap paper after using it, and rancidity won't be a problem

I hope your situation improves op. Veeky Forums is always here for you

>If you don't have a job how can you afford gas and canned goods?

not OP but food bank dumpster diving etc
as for money busking panhandling [spoiler]stealing everything not nailed down[/spoiler] ya know typical junkielyf shenanigans

Are you an alcoholic?

Getting paid to let nasty old dudes blow you is an essential hustle. Yes, people will pay to suck your dick, not the other way around.

i bet that van smells like moldy dick cheese and stale beer farts.

>food bank dumpster diving etc
You're eating food that even the food bank throws away. Why not just walk into the food bank like a normal person?

>that painting
at least youre able to mooch off of a mcdonald's wifi for porn I guess

This.

For one thing, if YOU somehow ended up homeless and had at least a couple of months work ahead of you to get off the street... you'd probably do anything you could to avoid winding up in a Salvation Army shelter. It's a cot and a bowl of soup, sure... but it's no fucking picnic. I'd rather live in a car.

Second, you can't just get "wefare" or SSI. They don't give it to able-bodied able-minded people. You can get a little money for your kids, but it's not enough compensate for a complete lack of income.

The only entitlements you can get, AT ALL, being able bodied person without a job are EBT, some healthcare depending on the state you're in, and housing assistance if you have kids.

Also, those are both getting fucking slashed come January in most places. Even liberal strongholds where they like giving that stuff to people.

The idea that you can somehow eke out a comfortable living on entitlements is fucking bullshit. I SHOULD KNOW, I'VE TRIED.

Just take an advance out against your white male privilege

Karin ichibin + orange juice = brass monkey

I have an engineering degree but graduated in 2008 when the market crashed, spent all my time unemployed looking for employment. I really appreciated that free time and really despised being in an office, over time I ended up doing all sorts of labor jobs I really enjoyed that were all unconventional and on my own time and terms, scrapping metal, moving furniture for quirky foriegners off Craigslist, farming and fishing. and then once I stopped paying rent at my house I didn't really even need all that job money because I usually budgeted that towards rent. without rent all my money was play money and then I further realized that I didn't need money to play, just a lil set aside for cheap beer and gas. I've been damn near able to get 30mpg out of my 4banger

Food stamp recipients went from roughly over 10 million in '72 to about 45 million in '12. You cant be serious if you think thats natrual
