Supply and Demand

Don't get caught in the woods with your pants down. Poison Ivy is a bitch. You definately don't want to wipe with that stuff. This is a pretty thorough list of the supplies necessary to being a successful hobo. Of course, a true crapdog needs only his shred stick, some good skate shoes and a lighter to survive for weeks at a time, but introducing a few extra items will make you a bit more comfortable. A good pair of boots will make your day and a bad pair will ruin it. Always plan on needing more than you actually will. Sharing is cool, but mooches will be tarred and feathered. Of course, if you plan on chilling at camp, you don't need much. Here's a mega list of lots of unnecessary sounding things that have come in handy for me at one time or another. Did I ever tell you about the time we got rescued by hellicopter...?
