dissapear.

[cbm989]

Basicly this is what i want to do. Dissapear. I want to rid myself of material (besides obvious essentials) and just start walking. I live near the ozark mountain range so that might be my destination. Of course i would tell people where i would be, might bring a friend. But i want to get away from the material, violence, and hate of the world even if just for a week or so. Anyone ever done this? bad idea/good idea? What should i bring and what precautions should i take.

So you want to be a hermit? Or possibly start a little commune?
Bring tools necessary to start a garden so you have food. If you're not a vegetarian and don't mind the gore, bring some kind of hunting tools for food when the plants aren't growing well.


Bad and Good idea

It's bad because now you're focusing only on the well-being of yourself. You're looking out for only yourself and pretty much turning your back on the working class.

It's good because you only live once, might as well live as you please. Also, if its only temporary, the experience may give you inspiration or 'something to fight for.'

[which doctor]

Things to bring
Edible plants guide
Sleeping bag
Flint for building fire
Utility pocket knife
Hunting knife
Your mind
An extra change of clothes
Tent


There are more, I just can't think of them right now.

[More Fire for the People]

I wouldn't recommend 'disapeering' but taking a 'vacation'. Go to the woods for a while, and take what Fist of Blood suggested. The Ozark's are pretty but remember watch out for brown recluses, black widows, bears, and various snakes.

Because running away will make violence and hate go away :rolleyes:

[which doctor]

Personally, I suggest you disappear.

Running away will make violence and hate go away, in your life at least.

The only revolution you can start is the one inside your mind.

Well, ok so you just want to go camping then...


Anyone ever done this?

Yes, CPC-ML/MLPC (http://cpcml.ca) has a camp every year, very collective and communal. Not as far out and away from civilization as I would like, but then again I do enjoy material things. :huh:


What should i bring and what precautions should i take.

Camping stuff: tent, canned foods (don't have any food in your tent that bears or animals can smell) matches, lighter fluid, knife, clothing, etc... really depends on how much you can carry!

Good luck!

Also take some sort of light in case it's raining, such as a flashlight if you're feeling adventurous or one of those carabiner clips that has a tiny light on it.

But I don't recommend disappearing permanently as you don't help anyone by just sitting out in the Ozarks.

That's Forrest Gump, right? Excuse my ignorance but I've never watched it...

Yes, there is a popular part of the film that goes "Run, Forest, run!"

But yeah in another part of the film he descides to just keep running and runs like half way across ameriKa or something.

[emma_goldman]

Did you get this idea from Thoreau? ;)

[emma_goldman]

Forest Gump is a good movie, lot of hidden messages. :P
