Answer 1

A Denny's and a Motel 6 should work out just fine!

Answer 2

green pine needles for tea. leftover dried up birch berries, wild grapes, and hawthorne berries, that the birds may not have gobbled up yet. use snares on deer trails for rabbit, as they use them also. sorry i don't have a way of send pics of snare details to you, but they are made with picture hanging wire for the noose. Also snowberries, low bush with still green leaves, white oblong berries. Mountain cranberry may grow there too. Mainly go fishing. Oh, here's a trick for squirrels. lean a log against a tree, tie nooses sticking straight up with wire. They like to use leaning logs as bridges, and get caught in the nooses. Always undo your snares before leaving though! Also the part of cattails that grows from one to another, called the rhizome, not the root that goes into the ground, can be eaten. potato like tubers from pond lilies, but these usually can't be gotten easily in the winter. Acorns from under trees that squirrels stash can be eaten, but will be very bitter. Crack the outer shell with rocks, the nut is inside. You can boil out the bitterness, but it usually takes several changes of water, till the water stays clear. The brown water is Tanic acid being boiled out. It's in coffee and tea too in smaller amounts.
