What did you do for showering, cooking, etc?

  I lived out of a tent for a couple of summers. Getting a gym membership was an easy way for me to have access to showers. At the time I mostly just ate food that didn't require cooking though I certainly could have used a camp stove easily.

  I showered less frequently, but there are many options out there, such as: Friends and allies, beach and camping showers, gyms, pirate bath. I did not cook much, and just ate things like nuts, bread, and cheese. But I had a simple wood stove that runs on little sticks. (Look up rocket can stove.) Generally speaking, for most things, it was just a matter of "stay calm and improvise".

    I had a friend doing the van living thing, he was coming by every day or so to shower at my immobile home. It got kind of old and I told him he was going to have to start cleaning it once a week to continue on. He said fine. Then he proceeded to never show up again lol other than to drop by and say howdy.

      Sounds fair... It helps to have a habit of leaving every place cleaner than you found it. It sounds like your friend had other options, and you were able to remain friends?

        Yeah I'm pretty sure it was the closeness to my house from where he parked on a relative's farm.
