backpacking necessities list

If you were to run away from home to start life anew as a vagabond, what essentials do you bring with you?

Say for instance you had one large backpack, what would be a reasonable list of survival supplies or necessities of life. Also what creature comforts would you bring? how many changes of clothes? Whatever you think offer it up, it may one day save my life. Thank you- Jesse

Take your important papers such as your birth certificate. Clothes from a travel catalog or store that don’t wrinkle and can be hand washed and hung up and dry overnight.

Now, why is this life or death? Are you in an abusive situation that you may have to run from. There is lots of help around for you even right now. Keep looking and talking with people to find it.
