I seem to be using that technique quite often lately on short "get out of
town" trips to "where ever I end up".  Throw minimal items into van, stop at
grocery store if necessary, stop for gas and then gone in general direction
of "where ever".  I keep blankets, coffee, coffee pot, toilet paper, soap,
toothbrush, and water in the van at all times.

Now if I could figure out how to keep the peanut butter and bread loaded up.
