    • ]]>     Imagine that you can outfit yourself for free for a 100 mile hike in a summer’s week of diligent walking. You’re trying to be inconspicuous and have as little contact with other people as possible during that week. Much of the hike will be cross-country, but a good bit will be along the roadside also.
    What brand and size backpack would you choose?
    What shoes (make & style) would you wear? For example: New Balance trail running shoes or Montrail hiking boots. (Specify model name if you have a preference.)
    What shelter and bedroll would you carry? Tent or hammock? What make? Sleeping bag or just a blanket? (Remember, it’s a summer hike.)
    Would you carry along a camp stove, and if so which model?
    What sort of toiletries, tools and cleaning items would you take along?
    What sort of clothes would you wear: fabric, cut, color?
    What kind of food & drink would you carry, and how much?
    What would all this stuff volume & weigh? Can you carry that much in the pack?
