I like a can of peaches, drained, then mix in instant oatmeal. I never cook it.

just drink your own urine, mixed with oatmeal and gallo salami
or get 24 krispy cream doughnuts, did a 3 day weekend on those and a few cases of guiness draught,
or buy 10 for 10 gummy beares at safeway and combine with 8 cans of red bull, you should make it thru winter with those meager rasions, of course you will look like a stick, but get numb to the pain,

Pasta + tomato paste + garlic + salami + sunflower seeds + veggies as available to taste.

Cabbage, lard, vodka.
Use the right proportions and you will never be aware of what "sucking" is.
Even better if you throw in the occasional potato.

One of the magazines did an article about Dale Bard around eight years ago and said he once lived on nothing but brewer's yeast stirred into water for weeks.

While in the Valley there is only one way to eat like a true dirtbag.....scarfing in the Lodge Cafeteria. I learned by watching some of the greats. Mr Way and Chongo.

Free food.
Weddings and funerals are pretty good for that.
Frat parties are OK but you get too drunk. Chips and dip gets old after a while too.

Remember when you could get free sample bags of dog food from a factory outside of Modesto? Tasted some, couldn't get into it, but some guys were into it.
Picking meals off the conveyor belt at the Lodge cafeteria was always good eatin'
Then there was always dumpster diving for 5 cent cans til you had enough to buy potatoes, oats, rice, or beans. Bring a bag of whatever you had to whatever everybody else had and cook up a party at C4.

I don't know if Dale Bard is still at Black Diamond, but hunt him down and speak to the master. He could live off of like 20 bucks per year.
I have never met his equal.

These are some awesome ideas. Never even considered hitting the trash cans, but I suppose that is the dirtbag way. Sales at the stores seems more up my alley though.

Broccoli and sprouts grown on sponges in your car.
Tried the freegan dumspter diving behind the supermarket thing for a while but it is hit and miss on the road. One day you'll get a bunch of veggies, the next day nothing but 30 jars of bad mayonnaise. You can't count on it to deliver.
One thing though, when you live on that free food diet for 6 months, your stomach flora changes. You can eat stuff with no ill effects that would have you shitting water for a week if you ate it straight off a normal diet. Eventually you become like a vulture and you can eat just about anything.

In Medellin there are people on the streets literally dying of hunger. You sometimes see people really chowing down at a trash can, on some old chicken they found, half eaten leftovers, mixed with other kinds of garbage. They look totally psyched to have scored. I guess if you are hungry you can get over a lot of these things. Even camping in the US changes your sense of hygiene, permanently. Go for it!
