Supplies II

August approaches and I have yet to purchase/acquire any of my gear.

Top priorities:

1. Tent. I've contacted a few different people trying to unload free ones on CL, no luck yet. This may get more competitive as August gets closer. I am resistant to spending any money, yet, on this. I want to avoid spending a disproportionate amount on the tent, not having enough for:

2. Shade structure- In the cost of this should include rebar, twine, tape, any other expense related to securing, stabilizing, and building structure.
3. Costumes- For this, I still have little clue what direction to go. I do want some colorful something going on. Was thinking jester, clown, something playful and fun.
4. Saved Money for September- I need to save enough money to cover rent, and any expenses I'll have upon return. I am afraid there is not enough time left not to return to work when I get back. I have not lined up anything else as yet.
5. Perishables- Food, Booze(!!), Water. Some of which I can collect as I go. Water for instance, I can start buying it now, and just stock pile it. Booze, same thing, might as well start a stash going and get that collected. I am not doing much drinking right now, though I herb daily, I am saving some money on booze right now. Smoke. Both varieties. Will likely need way, way more than I imagine, due to how much I'll be handing out. 3 cartons doesn't seem out of the question.

6. Essential Misc This includes all the veteran stuff I know I'll need, but haven't gotten, don't have, etc.
