In October, the locals of Orem, Payson, and Spanish Fork offered me food, liquid refreshment, monies, gift card(s), coupon(s), groceries, care package(s) (snacks, bottled water, etc.), winter gear (heavy jacket[s], etc.), hand warmers, hand sanitizer, face mask(s), gloves, lodging, Hotel room(s), ride(s), help, job opportunities, Religious Church service information/suggestions, Religious/Spiritual information/suggestions, Jewish Synagogue information/suggestions, Shelter information/suggestions, camping suggestions, and encouragement. *End result: food, more bandages, safety pins, more [finger wrap/protection] waterproof adhesive tape, another GigaTent (from Amazon.com) [NOTE: For privacy and security reasons, I purchased another GigaTent from Amazon.com, because of its privacy features, such as full sidewalls (w/o the "easy-to-peek-through" mesh screen material), and the safety screen window on the door. (My first GigaTent Cooper 2 model was purchased back in 2011.) So, I returned the URPRO pop-up tent (purchased last month from Amazon.com), because it had 2 DOORS w/o safety screen windows, which means that the outer doors had to be unzipped and rolled down, just to get some fresh air into the tent w/ only zipped screen material as the doors. At least, my ol' cheap Ozark Trail tent from Walmart had a safety screen door, so that the door could be zipper locked, while the safety screen window could be unzipped to get some fresh air into the tent.], more washcloths, more tape, another replacement luggage cart, and reusable tote bag (from Walmart)
