Let's pretend for a minute that you have decided to go on a backpacking trip across country. On this trip, you'll be walking and finding shelter where you can. What would you put in your back pack to assist you along the way? What would you buy or find along the way to help you survive? How would you get food or shelter?

...If I would pretend that I will be going to a trip, and have a backpack like Dora's I would have a first a toothbrush so that my breathe will stay fresh as well a toothpaste. next I will have a comb, shampoo, soap, a towel, clothes and undies. I would also bring my gadgets, like my camera, my phone and my laptop. I will also bring a map, binoculars, a compass to get to the place I wanted to go. I will also bring matchsticks if ever I needed fire. Oh!I will also bring lots of food and beverages!

I will bring along a map, ropes, my shades, a cap, 3 medium sized water bottles, ground sheet, tent, swiss army knife, watch, mess tin, food, chocolates, fruit bars, hooks as well as lighters ^_^ Though most of them are small in size, but everyone of them are life savers ^_^ I dun mind my backpack to be heavy, because along the way, it will only get lighter and lighter.. If it does not get lighter, it means we are bringing those unnecessary stuffs and making ourselves suffer for nothing.. haha ^_^ Along the way, i will always be on a look out for sticks that i can use to navigate myself thru thick vegetations or bushes ^_^ As for food, i will be on the look out for fruits on trees, and rope will come in handy here for me to climb up the trees for the fruits ^_^ As for shelter, i have my own tent, and all i need is to dig a small drainage beside my tent to prevent any water from seeping into my tent if it rains.. hehe ^_^
