"An' no matter how temptin' it is, don't light no fires in abandoned buildings just 'cause you think no one will see it," Ada offered. "That's how y'die of suffocation or asbestos gases or a la flambe."
"Straw does make a good insulator, though," she said thoughtfully. "Though you'd have t' steal bales somehow. Pilfering a few handfuls from some yuppie's manger scene on their lawn might not be too hard."
Ada, please stop enabling your peers into petty larceny.
"True enough," Sparkle agreed, "though straw also burns like a motherfuck, so if you're going to insulate your layers with the stuff, be extra careful how you go about heating yourself up if you get cold, yeah?"
He kind of hoped that 'don't light yourself on fire' was basic common sense, but it was worth stressing anyway, now that they were on the topic.
He wasn't going to say a word about the petty larceny thing, since this was more about survival. And anyway, prison was way warmer than sleeping on the street.
