Why don't you just get a real siphon no need to suck that thing

Oral fixation.

As ppl said, Craigslist for oddjobs can be good. Depends on how long you're staying in town or if you have storage. You might be able to grab a few free nice things from a nicer area and sell them elsewhere. I swear to God people give away free working washing machines and shit here in New England all the time.

Offering labor work or asking restaurants if they need a temp dishwasher for cash is good but I know none of you wanna do reel jobz ;) dirty hippies!

Selling bud is risky but it can be very profitable and get you in with some skatepark kids to boot, who sometimes treat crusties like their new big bros.

The main thing is to be flexible and ingenuitive. Beggards can't be chosards.

P.s. Having actual skills helps, so learn how to fix cars or computers or something. Since you're in a vehicle you can have a nice outfit for white collar work if you can accept taking off your Fallout costume for a bit and taking a shower. Much love ❤️

P.s.s. Pick the right duckin vehicle. Don't get a gas guzzling bus if you don't have a crew to help keep feeding the beast. And as other homie said, make sure you do the right maintenance so your engine and fuel economy are maximized. Even keeping your tires pumped up makes a notable difference, as well as extra weight in your vehicle.
