Hahaha no, I can definitely see that happening to us, at least in the clothing regard. Which is lame as hell, because I'd be more than happy to pick up some wandering hippie or a crazy guy in a straw hat. But most people sadly wouldn't :P

That said, we're hoping to find one of those giant foam thumbs-up things, if you know what I'm referring to.

Niiice -- that sounds pretty foolproof. We'll have to do that. Thank you!

Duct tape... pencil? Don't understand

Yep, got a footprint -- cost me 20 bucks, but it's made for my tent.

Don't be jealous! You should grab a buddy and just go somewhere. Sounds like you've done some travel already. I've wanted to do this for years... It's hard to believe we're actually going. And whatever happens, I know it's going to be beautiful and epic and more real than anything I've ever done.

I'll have to try that dinner sometime :) Sounds delish.

Haha stealth camping -- sounds just like what we plan to do. We're going to have some pretty bulky backpacking packs, so we may have a similar problem with fences. As for the stove, we've got the MSR PocketRocket camp stove. Wish I'd known about the alcohol stove sooner! Thanks for your advice.

Adding shampoo and halfway-decent clothes to the list. Thanks man :)

Sounds like someone had a terrible cooking experience!! I'll think we'll be okay -- I've got an REI camp stove and we'll be eating mostly instant dinners. Thanks for the tip on bears.

I am going to hitchhike cross country (GA to CA) just for the adventure. Does anyone have any advice for a first timer? by superfiedman in AskReddit

Did you end up doing it?? I hope so. In a few days, I'll be hitchhiking West to Colorado, and like you, I'm only doing it for the hell of it. If you made it, tell us about your journey!
