>>By improvise...a bench and a pillow. A couple of yoga mats, or those moving quilt-mat things, or salvaged couches. Carpet remnants laid on the floor. Someone's thick winter coat could make half a matress. A backseat from a junked car. Heck, the floor and a pillow, maybe with a blanket, could be useable, and a lot of stuff can be used as a pillow. Adjust depending on what you can get, what impression you're going for, and assorted considerations like space and cleanliness.<<
Tribefolk tend to collect blankets. Even if there's no spare bed, they'll make a nest of blankets, or rack out on the couch.
>>I've seen houses where walls are bedsheets and winter insulation is plastic taped over windows. Y'do what y'can. If they object, they can find a better solution or get outta the way.<<
Yyyeah.
>> Alternately, have an in-town person to drop far-flung frequent flyers with? <<
That's a likely solution, especially on a reservation where most people are related to and/or friends with most others.
>>In Terramagne they could do a tip jar for gas money, or something. Of course someone'll eventually tuck in a random snack or something.<<
LOL yes. Most T-American bars have a skippy jar.
It doesn't seem to be as common on reservations. They probably rely more on stashing someone with a relative. But it doesn't always catch. When you're used to a lot of the population being vaguely tipsy or publicly smashed on a regular basis, it kind of stops registering that there are things you shouldn't do then.
