If they’re typical silnylon camping tents wood stoves are a huge risk.

You can safely use wood stoves for canvas tents as long as you get a good stovejack, they make great silicone ones now. The problem is that canvas camping tents are typically cost prohibitive for most homeless people.

Of course, the people living there know best what they need, and with their current setups they mostly need wood for their stoves, or fuel for their generators, which are running electric heaters. But not all of them have stoves or generators.

So Generator -> Electric Heater is incredibly inefficient. People are likely doing this because it’s all they have and they want to charge their electronics. If you want to provide equipment I would suggest:

• Mr Heater Buddy, 9000 BTU Propane Heater
• Propane Hose Assembly, you can find one for cheaper

This will allow them to connect to a standard propane tank. This setup is incredibly cheap to maintain esp. if they have access to a Amerigas/Rhino propane exchange or propane fill-up station. The buy-in here is around $140 per tent but you can get it down cheaper if you get a generic hose. The maintenance cost of exchanging/refilling the propane. On the 4000 BTU burn, this can last about half a month with a standard 20lb propane tank and should be more than enough to heat a tent. Monthly this has a cost of about $40 depending on how much propane is locally. Since the heater is radiant it’s heating the person / objects in the tent not the air meaning it’s incredibly effective.

This setup is really beneficial because it’s easy to adapt to different living circumstances whether you’re in a tent, a car, etc. In a pinch it can keep you comfortable enough in a single-wide too.

If you guys want to build something, reducing fuel costs during the day can be achieved by building a solar collector

If it wasn’t for Bernie I would have never gotten those post loss Harris fundraiser texts!

I’m an ancomm and “direct action” without proper tactics and direction is pointless. The illegalist and egoist tendencies have been widely denounced by almost every other large tendency historically. Kropotkin himself denounced illegalism and egoism. These tendencies are more or less dead from a theory perspective beyond the turn of the 20th century. It’s 4KidsEntertainment. America was literally the last gasp of these bullshit tendencies thanks to Benjamin Tucker. Egoism and illegalism have never actually gotten anything done, the strain of Anarchism in America that has delivered the goods is Wobblies anarcho-syndicalism which was literally based around organization.

Don’t remember the emoji guide so you’ll have to imagine it:

Sorry. I’m old I don’t know what the kids are into.

0/10. Cringe.

techbros both enthusiastically support and enable/develop social murder too

There’s an interesting irony that happens in the tech field that the jobs that often advertise as “valuable” and “moral” to society ultimately are actually some of the most damaging. The typical business model is neoliberalizing, what in a just society, would be public-owned infrastructure. A lot of these developers who think they’re “doing good” are often simply building private roads at the expense of the public roads.
