Do not throw away the charcoal left behind after a bonfire. If you put wire mesh, steel sheet or iron rod on top and place the contents of the distributed packed meals wrapped in aluminum foil, you could enjoy a nice hot meal. Also,even if the water you have is not clean, you can boil it in a pan and use it for heating up food in sealed plastic bags. This is also a good way to have a nice meal. Charcoal is safer than bonfires.
I had somehow kept a lpt of disposable chopsticks that came with sushi packs. I used these to light fires and found them very useful in starting bonfires or charcoal fires.

Because we had no water to waste, we put plastic food wrap on our dinner plates. We could throw away the wrap after our meal and thus avoide washing up.

I remember it rained about three days after the earthquake. At the time, all our family rushed out to lay all the containers we had out in the garden so as to collect rainwater. We used this water to wash the dishes after meals. Each time it rains, it always reminds me of this.
