Three months ago my girlfriend and I decided to work towards the adventure of a lifetime. We plan to walk from Washington, south to California, then to the east coast, and everywhere in between.

Our lease is up, our supplies are packed, our boots are strapped, and our adventure has begun. Many people have asked why we have decided to take away all of our comforts and set out on this crazy adventure. These are some of our reasons; to live freely, experience our country and its people, to drown in our thirst for adventure, explore our creativity, and to see if true humanity still exists.

In just under a week we will be in Raymond, WA, taking our first steps across the US. We plan to live as inexpensively as possible; this means pitching our tent anywhere that is free and safe, also diving into the occasional dumpster for a snack, and living using only what we can carry on our backs. Here are some of the main items that will help us survive the elements:

-2 person tent(our new house)
-2 sleeping bags
-water filtration system (Steripen, UV light stick)
-white gas camp stove
-non cotton clothing (cotton kills!)
-good pair of boots (our vehicle)
-supply of various dehydrated foods
-water
-GPS (this is awesome, thanks Brett and Shrie)
-journal, water colors

Above is a detailed picture of most of the supplies we will be bringing. (Our packs weigh about 40lbs without water)

We would like to thank all of our friends and family members for all of their support, love, words of wisdom, and useful tips. We will be checking in as often as possible via libraries that we stumble upon. Wish us luck and we love you.
