It was a lovely night for a boat trip. I ravaged my wife in a bed of sweet sex and waited for her to fall asleep.

Careful not to leave a blood trail, I hopped onto the waiting speedboat and motored away, while a stoolie radioed in a anonymous distress call.

Long story short, I've got a Rolls Royce and a fabulous estate in New Orleans. And a top hat! All thanks to my ruck sack, an alcoholic mother, and my offshore gambling/smuggling ring of which all my friends work at, hence them being out of the country. Mmhey

Been watching Double Jeopardy, eh?

Every pair of socks I could find (wet feet suk), hair brush, 1 shirt, 2 pairs of shorts, discman, Metallica cd collection, 3 garbage bags, Duct tape, and 2 porno mags - for that quiet time.

Clothes, whatever money I could get my hands on, some water, and the hard drive containing all my backups, so that when I find a place, and eventually am able to get another computer, I can pretty much pick up where I left off.

I'd hike to the rockies and live there.

Pack - My hiking boot, clothes, .357 (rifle wouldn't fit in bag :)), matches (waterproof), enough canned tuna to last the trip, water, a rain ponco, some rope, and a small tarp for a tent.

my wallet, three or four pair of jeans, couple tee shirts, couple of long sleeved shirts, winter coat, gloves, hiking boots, 8 pair of socks, rope, sleeping bag, leatherman tool, tarp, compass, canteen, bic lighter, a hat, battery powered radio and as much cash as I could scrape up. Then I'd start making my way southeast to the appalachian mountains. I could survive for quite some time with that thanks to my Army training. No need for a gun, it would just get you in trouble when the cops eventually hassle you. With just those items, I'm just another homeless guy and could live for years.

Including what I normally keep in my pockets (3 1/2 in folding knife, pack of gum, wallet, 2 pens, keys and a folded up piece of paper)
and what I'm wearing (pants, 2 T-shirts, belt, shoes, socks, underwear, watch and baseball cap.)...

I would jam my backpack with one change of clothes consisting of an extra pair of comfortable shoes, 2 T-shirts (I always wear 2, so that's one change.), and fresh underwear. Additionally, I would pack as many pairs of socks as I could dig up that have no holes, haven't worn thing, etc. I'd probably take a hoodie too, because those are usually enough to keep me warm in the coldest days of winter, and it would make a great pillow too. I would throw in anything small I have that could be sold for an amount of money worth lugging it around until I do sell it. A stick of deodorant, a bar of soap and some scissors to keep my hair short so washing it wouldn't be a problem, because I don't want to be a smelly bum. I'd probably take a few bottles for water, a couple bags of trail mix, a package of multi-colored sharpie markers, colored pencils (with sharpener) and a sketch book. It would be interesting to sit and draw the various things you see from a different perspective than you are used to. Then you could probably sell the pictures to people who pity you. Last but not least, I would take my old boy scout handbook that has been in my closet for a few years, for one it would give me some fair reading material, and two, it may be helpful.


That would probably stuff a backpack plenty full but I'm sure it would thin out after a few weeks until I get the rythmn of bummin' down.


Before I got too dirty and disgusting, I would work on getting a low-class job to try and make some money. A little money goes a long way when you don't have bills.

Edit: Then I'd head for the mountains and look for JemCam, because he clearly knows how to get by and I'm sure he'd appreciate some company ;)
