Bart:
Here are a few more things that they could have done, and there's no good reason why they didn't:
1) As soon as they learned about the "Voldemort" taboo, they should have referred to Voldemort as Voldy, Morty, or, better yet, Tom, instead of "you-know-who."
2) Not necessarily the Trio, but I would be HIGHLY surprised if nobody was taking advantage of the taboo, by setting up booby traps.
3) Couldn't they have used non-magical disguises?
4) They could have used Slughorn's trick, and find an empty house to camp in. A Muggle disguise on Ron or Hermione, or use of the invisibility cloak could be used in scouting.
5) You can't create food, but you can transmute it. Grubs, worms, and insects are highly nutritious; just turn them into something tastier. Acorns, seeds, etc. could be stored in Hermione's dimensionally transcendental purse.
I'm certain that there are a couple of dozen more, or flaws with what I came up with...
