So, I've been thinking about doing this for a while, and recently I've decided that it's time for me to take a spirit walk.
This summer, after graduation, I'm going to pack up and leave for at least a month. I'm going to have some supplies and drugs in a pack, and I'm going to start walking either south or west. If I go south, I might visit a new friend who lives near New Orleans. If I go West... well, Cali will be my goal.
I plan on carrying an ounce of mary, some shrooms, and maybe some DMT. I think I'll buy some of those pre-rolled cigarette tubes at a local tobacco shop and fill them up so I never have to roll on the road. Hopefully, I can bring a friend along too, but it's going to have to be someone who really understands the whole purpose of the trip and agrees with it.
The trip really isn't just an excuse to do drugs. It's something that I feel like I really need to do. Just the idea gives me a weird kind of euphoria. I don't know if it's some sort of divine inspiration or just some sort of deep seated psychological need for a new adventure, but I know that if I don't do it soon, I'll be too tied down by the responsibilities of the real world to ever make it happen.
The idea of the trip is to get away from society, to detox from the internet and television. I want to be able to walk or sit or lie in silence and nature for hours at a time and think and write. I'll keep a journal to log any revelations that I have while I'm out and probably carry my acoustic to keep music in my ears. I want to accomplish all of this with only what I can carry on my back. As much as possible, I'll stick to wooded and rural areas so that the pollution and hustle and bustle of cities can't affect me.
Of course, I'll be as safe as possible. I'll be carrying my cellphone, and if I can't get the GPS app for whatever reason I'll be buying a GPS of some sort. Hopefully I can recharge the phone at libraries or Starbucks, even if it means having to venture into a city every once in a while. I also intend to carry some sort of item I could use to get myself out of trouble. I think a lightweight aluminum bat would be a pretty good idea. I hate the idea that my walk would be marred by violence, but I won't hesitate to defend myself if necessary.
As for supplies, I've only just begun to formulate a list. I know I'll require a small tent - the smallest and cheapest I can find which provides adequate protection from the rain and wind. As the trip will be in summer, extremely low temperatures won't be a huge concern, but I'll be packing a heat blanket and sleeping bag just in case.
So, as of now, here is a list of the supplies I'll need. I will gladly accept recommendations and additions to the list, but do remember that I'm attempting to keep the cost and carry weight of everything down.
Supply List
~Hiking backpack capable of carrying all my gear
~small tent
~sleeping bag
~acoustic guitar
~first aid kit
~swiss army knife
~hunting knife
~small machete
~lighters
~papers
~maybe a small bong
~1 gallon jug to keep filled with water from whatever source I can find
~steripen or water purification tablets
~camp cookware - small pot, folding grill for cooking over fires
~butane refill
~5 MRIs or dehydrated meals in the event I really can't scavenge any food
~bar soap
~metal bat?
~rope (braided nylon)
~field guide for identifying plants, etc
clothing
~hiking shoes
~2 pairs of jeans
~1 pair sweatpants
~2 t-shirts
~1 light jacket
~2 long-sleeved shirts
~thermal underclothes
~socks
waterproof case containing
~matches
~2 lighters
~cellphone
~gps
~firestarting material
~emergency money (at least $150)
Drugs
~ounce of pot
~few doses of DMT
~whatever my shroom growing project generates
I know that this list is definitely incomplete, so I'd like input. Also, I don't know too much about backpacking, so if anyone does and would want to recommend a good pack, that'd be great too.
I plan to mostly scavenge my food. If I find a nice secluded place, I might just stop there and hang out for the whole thing. The walking aspect isn't all that important, more the idea that I can be alone and think about the universe. The DMT and shrooms are intended to aid me with that understanding.
Any input? Advice? I AM doing this, so don't attempt to stop me, but if there's some pressing thing you think I should know, let me in on it, please. I have about 5 months to prepare for the trip. The girlfriend is supportive, and the parents are getting there. All I need are supplies and if possible a like-minded friend to come with me for both safety and company.
I realize that you can't quite get what I feel about this trip through this emotionless text, but I feel that it's going to be a very spiritual and strong experience for me. I'm attempting to forgo the materialism of the real world for a while, and that is a noble enough pursuit.
Support, advice, revisions, mockery, all are welcomed for this endeavor! Please post your thoughts.
