The journey will begin tomorrow, not with the tool kit... but just a backpack with 19 items.

Dear readers,

The journey will begin tomorrow, and the decision had been made... I am not going to be traveling and trying to live as a true human being with the tool kit that I had built and the "traveling manual" that I constructed, instead just a backpack with 19 items within.

You might be in shock and ask why, after all those works that I put in to that tool kits and the manual, I am not going to use any of it in my journey. I have been thinking long and hard and realized that the tool and the manual do not fit what I am trying to do. I am trying to live as a true human with the focus on sustainability, community, truth, creation, and the notion of progress... and the tool kits and the manual seem as they will become the wall between me and those 5 goals. it seem that if I travel with the tool kits and the manual, I would not able to fully experience and struggle with those 5 notion. It seem as I will be more a performer than anything else and the people around me cease to be just a neighbor of my community but become audiences. I don't want to be a performer and I don't want them to be my audiences, that is not what I had intended to do during my journey. I was meant to be a true human being living, breathing. So I had decided to go on the journey with the most minimal equipments. I want to live in such a way that is simple, so simple that I can truly focus, live with those 5 notions of true humanity that I want to explore. It is only when simplicity is achieve, that I can truly feel free and true to my human nature. I want to truly live in a way in which I only take what I need; The tool kit offers more than I need to survive in th city. I want to achieve the notion of only having what you need in order to discover what human truly need in life. i wonder to myself maybe after all,  the city around us can have no effect on us as long as we only take what we need and focus on what we need. And when our mind set is right, the environment around us might not able to affect us...  I don't know and I cannot wait to discover more along my journey.

More of the thoughts I have on the journey and the decision I had made about not using the tool kits will be continued to be in my personal journal. I hope to find a kind person everyday that will be willing to take my journal of the day and type it on this blog for me as a comment to this post. So all the news about me will be comments of this post... So please continue to follow this blog and this post.

I know that I might able to explain every thoughts and reasons well in this blog about the decision that I made about the tool kit, but it is not my intention to do so here. I just wanted to continue to inform you the process of self discovering and the progress of the experiment. Hope you understand.

Here is the what I am going to wear and the content of my backpacks:

My bandanna, to keep my crazy hair in control

2 T shirt

My journal and pen

My food

my blankets

Identification.

My rain shower wear.

So these is the thing that I will be living off of and the city itself. 

I cannot wait to start the journey! 

Please keep me in your thoughts as I will keep you in mine. 

Hope you keep coming back and check on this blog and the comments of this post as my daily journals might find their way here on the blog. 

Thanks for your supports all these time and I cannot tell you fully my appreciation for you all. 

Wish you all a blessed summer and I hope to see you all during my journey. 

Have a great day

Patrick
