I have bought handguns ammo misc supplies and tools for my hobbies. When you travel then work sunup to sundown travel back to the motel where you lay your head is of no matter. You can sleep anywhere it's just life. Pipelines travel hundreds of miles overland in sparsely habited areas so Pickens are slim.

Now that's a hell of a plan!
I always heard of people who get a $150 per diem for room and partner up with coworkers to save money by staying together or in large groups and shop at a local supermarket.
Also they like to stay in places with free breakfast and happy hour.
