SURVIVAL HELP: How can I run away from home and survive for 1 or 2 days?
I don’t need a sleeping bag or anything because I’m not going hiking. For my own reasons, i’m running away from home for a a day or 2 (hopefully less that 48 hours). I’m 16 years old, no allergies, no disabilities, and don’t get sick easily. It’s winter now but I go shirtless in 34 degrees F sometimes and it hasn’t even snowed this winter so don’t worry
Do you think it’s good for me to fill up on good healthy food right before leaving? I am going to pack lightly. I’m only bringing my clothes, a sweater, a warm jacket, and food in zip lock bags. I’m bringing an apple, 2 fiber bars, some cashews, some gram crackers, cheerios, band-aids, and a pocket knife. Am I good or is it too much? I’m running away so I want to avoid suspicion, NO BACKPACK. I’ll be camping in a nice open field right in front of the residential homes. There are no roads here and I know of many places I can stay where the police won’t think to look, including the forest, an abandoned train car, even my friends house during the day but I personally want to avoid this. The only problem is animals, and whatever weird people are here that I don’t know. I’ve seen some Mexican field workers over there, I think they’re normal people, It’s also near a railroad track with some railroad workers and people live near there so I don’t think it’s a ’scary’ place. It’s very close to houses, and close to the the main road with people and a grocery store that I can steal food from.
So, am I okay with this? I’ll be gone for a day hopefully, but if not, then 2 days. I’m not worried about surviving, I know i’ll live but I just want to be comfortable. I can’t carry more food. During the day i’ll be walking and it will be boring, at night i’ll rest but i’ll TRY not to fall asleep and i’ll have my knife open and ready just in case. I’m sure i’ll be able to dig a hole to put my food in so I won’t look suspicious while walking around.
Lastly, TRUST ME I have to run away for at least a day. You don’t know my situation, it’s nothing serious but I know it’s necessary to leave the house for a while. Please don’t hesitate to give me your advice, it won’t be bad it’ll be just like going outside and playing sports with my friends ![]()
Also, I just had a clever idea, If I can find a nice spot to dig a hole or hide my stuff, then I might be able to bring more food and keep it there. I might even be able to bring a backpack and hide it.
So many trolls, i’m ready for the real helpers now!
