Re: Hi to all - Newbie here
Hi serendipity, we moved last year and like you would have had a lot of food stuffs to move. Partially solved the problem by eating all the canned goods and only moving the dried goods.

Result - we've started on the fallen trees in the farmers second field and they are all beautifully seasoned, "only" pine but still free, dry wood . Farmer is even going to bring it up to the house with his tractor. May have to give him a bottle at Xmas.
Re: Hot water
If washing with limited water another method is to have two bowls, one with soapy water and the other with fresh water then it's a case of rinse on,rinse off starting at the top & working down. Obviously don't overdo the soap or both bowls end up soapy.

Good test. You can go a long time without showering, just make sure you wash your hands, face, pits, groin & feet to maintain hygiene. The rest is pretty superfluous.
