Well as I see it, all you need are the shoes to go with the uniform and rack...
A major part of survival is invisibility.

RE: Stuff for free
I can back up the freecycle recommendations.
I've had loads of stuff from there. Even got given a car once, a little vw polo. No tax or mot but a little bit work (needed both front wishbones done to mechanically minded people) & it was on the road. The guy even gave me the parts to do the repair. I used it for 3 years before it got to the 'beyond repair' stage.
My mrs hates taking me anywhere though because if I spot something, I take it (providing there is no obvious owner of course).
