Day 5

Half my food is gone. I was hoping two more days would have passed before I reached this point, but there's no sense in worrying about it, or considering rationing myself to near starvation; I need my strength.

In afterthought, this isn't necessarily a bad thing. I can only squat camp here for 14 days before I have to move. Why not cut down the margin of someone else's error by leaving a few days early?

To be truthful, I could go shopping and then come back, but I won't do that. I don't trust that my shelter will be here when I come back well enough to not bring it with me, and if I'm going to pack it up, I might as well move along and put it up somewhere else.

No telling how long I'll be away picking up foodstuffs, either. I wouldn't want to get stuck somewhere and be without my full kit.

No, I'll just pack up when my food starts getting low.

Damn, it's so beautiful out here; I should have done this sooner.
