There's no simple linear relationship between self-esteem and persuasion (William McGuire1969). So it is a important countermeasure to keep or build your self esteem up. Here are a few links to help you.

This is the easy way to make a tent. And the cheapest All you need is rope or cord. (About 10ft) A tarp or plastic. About 8-8 2 trees or stakes driven into the ground about 8 ft apart. And 4 stakes to hold the tarp in an A frame shape. One on each corner of the plastic. Good strong plastic can be found in furniture store dumpsters. Example http://www.circles99.com/elements/album/circles/00040602/00067878/Tent.jpg

And for those who cant make it to the shower house you can get a camp shower for $10-$12 at k-mark Example http://www.alibaba.com/photo/10610895/Camp_Shower.jpg

And for the stove all you need is a fire proof surface like a metal plate and a small bit of fire starter wood. A small peace like 1 inch long will heat up a cup of coffee or a bowl of soup. Example http://www.conros.com/html/LOGG/images/Snaping_Starter.jpg
