I'm like you, just adding a bike (found in garbage), foraging (figs, medlars persimmons, oranges, lemons), collecting food at the end of garbage (lots of waste), no fridge, no hot water, no A/C or heating, €10/mo electricity bill

I think my two pieces of luxury technology I use are my laptop and by Fridge. Being able to preserve food without 'preservation techniques' is just so dang handy!
Some of those preservation techniques are also considered unhealthy.
just a cave is good enough for vegetables, or somewhere ventilated and not under the sun
Including refrigeration?
No, refregiration allows you to avoid those 'preservation techniques'
Such as?
Such as adding saltpeter, lots of sugar or smoking.
Meanwhile in the UK its nearly €20/mo standing charge before you consume any electricity.
at the end of market* I meant, a bit similar, but better quality
