RE: Abolitionist Abstractions Vlog 13: Does that blood spray remind you of a Pollock painting?
I use Planet Fitness showers and no one should feel sorry for me. Those showers are amazing.
Hints that may help:
I know Planet accepts credit cards, maybe use a BitPay card if you have one? I wish I could get a card that does Ether so I don't have to pay extra charges switching to BCH.
If you have to use the solar bag, fill half with cold water and boil hot water and fill the other half, if you don't have sun to warm the water.
For cooking don't forget powered milk exists. I totally forgot about it and I wasn't able to make box food. Side note: if you need a burner I found a cool hot pan at Salvation Army for $4. That helps when you find public use shore power.
As for heat, cover the outside of the windshield with a tarp or cardboard. That is a huge heatsink and makes you car 20 degrees warmer if not covered. Buy a digital indoor/outdoor thermometer and a hand written note with your number for people to call for emergencies. They will call the police if they can't call you. Also have a hide-a-key incase these people are crazy and too impatient. Better to let them babysit than call the cops and have your dog potentially taken.
I have worked out a deal with a local business. He lets me stay in his lot and I keep the eye on his place for free. Works out pretty good for Sammie (my dog) and me.
Yeah, I've heard pretty good things about Planet Fitness in this regard, so I am definitely going to pickup a membership.
Luckily I found a way around the issue with paying PF. My wife left me access to her card, so that should take care of it. I have considered getting a BitPay card, though, for a myriad of reasons. Just never got around to pulling the trigger because I've been a dirty, dirty hodler. LoL
That's a great idea for the solar shower. Now that I have the mini camping stove that my friend loaned me, I will definitely have to try that out.
I so wish we had had this conversation before I packed up my house. LoL I actually had two 5 gallon containers of powdered milk (my dad is a prepper and loves to send me things) that I placed in storage without even thinking. I might have to head out to the storage center sometime in the next week, so i will try to dig out at least one of those containers.
I didn't think of wrapping the outside of the windshield. I do have a cover for the inside, and the blackout shades for the rest of the windows (which all seem to keep the vehicle a bit cooler, but I will have to try out your suggestion, too. I like that idea about the security measures for Murder Dog, too.
That's awesome about that deal you struck. I think I will start asking around and see if I can arrange something similar. Thanks for all the advice. You rock! TYFYS!!!
