>>202680Well if you're going to go through with it, I advise making a thread on /trv/ as well. What you want to do is most likely doable if you properly prepare yourself. Some things to remember
>without water you will die in 3-4 days>without food you will die in about a week and a half to two weeks Water should be the heaviest thing you carry with you, depending on where you go the water may or may not be drinkable, especially for your weak western stomach. In some places the food will fuck your digestive system, in India for example they use the same water from the river they throw their dead and sewage into to cook with.
If you're going to be hoofing it then bring good shoes, the best you can find, and prepare to buy more within six months.
Despite whatever survivalist shit you've filled yourself with, you need cash money if you want to keep moving.
Also, another thing people don't realize, is that humans are social animals. The reason we have dominated the planet is that even though it doesn't look like it we have the ability to communicate and work together that is unmatched by any animals that have existed. What do I mean by this? I mean do not be afraid to deal with people on your travels, they may be what keep you alive. It would be best if you went with a traveling companion but you most likely don't know anyone stupid enough to go with you.
Don't be afraid to utilize the Internet, the most powerful medium of communication and knowledge in history. Use Craigslist ride sharing to get rides. Use
couchsurfing.org to find someone willing to let you spend the night, and maybe even feed you! Also you can use google to find cheap ass hostels and motels.
Bring an ATM card, if you don't have a bank account, set one up and try to keep at least $500 in it at all times. Hide your cash and your ATM card, maybe in your sock, maybe in special underwear.
This is all I can really think of at the moment
