I have an idea... Well I think I do...

     I have a plan for a week long blogging event. I will be living homeless for a week. The plan is to go out for a week and just try to survive with minimal supplies; in an area that is near a small island city. Now I know at this point some of you are like, "Why the hell would you want to do that?" and I'll be glad to tell you. Lately, I have been watching shows oriented towards surviving in the wild or surviving after a post apocalyptic scenario. And it got me thinking, "Can I do that?" Most people know that I am an Eagle Scout, and that I took part in many outdoor activities growing up. So I thought, with my knowledge and skills, I could probally last a week outdoors no problem. Of course now after saying that I will be on day 2 and I'll be like, "Damn I want to go home." Ha but I do think this will be a good test for me and it will give me some stuff to write about on The Start. I will be taking pictures, video, and I will be writing everything down. The supplies I plan to take with me are;

- (2) 32 oz. Water Bottle
- (2) 12 oz. Canned Tuna
- (1) 15 oz. Canned Peaches
- (1) Pocket Knife
- (1) Digital Camara
- (1) Bike
- (1) Backpack
- 2,000 Won (Approximately $1.87)
- (1) Toothbrush
- (1) Small Towel

And the clothes on my back; Dickie jeans, a t-shirt, a button shirt, and a sweatshirt. I will have my phone with me in case of emergencies, but it will be only on during the 7th day when I'm heading home. The place that I will be going to is on an island that is about 5 miles from my house. The island has a small mountain that has many trees, so that is probally where I will stay the first night. I aslo plan on not eating the day before.

     The idea of this project is to see if I can live off of the few things I bring with me and what I can find. This is basically a task for me to see if I am capable of doing something like this and something to share with you all after I come back. The day before I leave I will post a short blog about how I feel and my thoughts on what I will be doing the coming week. Ya so if you have any suggestions or survival tips for me let me know by posting a comment down below :D
