On the run

I've taken shelter for the night in a cave on the lee side of a mountain ridge. The wind and rain are howling outside, not even the Demons of Blogger OCD could make any progress in this weather. Or at least that's my hope.

This respite gives me a chance to take stock of my situation. Before I fled my home I managed to grab my pack and fill it with all the essentials for a nerd on the run: 
✔ Charger--hopefully I'll be able to find an outlet

✔ Bedroll--obvee 

✔ Utility knife--essential for carving dice from the heartwood of a fallen cedar tree

✔ AD&D DMG & PHB--I should be able to cobble together a decent AD&D campaign

✔ Halberd--a good pole arm is always handy in the wild

✔ Collected works of Graham Greene--been meaning to get to these for years, this could be my chance

Beyond that, I've got a can opener, the Marvel Superheroes box set, DCC Classics core rules, the Castles & Crusades books, 12 packets of Ramen noodles, Shadowdark, Mothership, GURPS, a sack of potatoes, Cyberpunk, ICRPG, Tooth brush, Mork Borg, a few dozen issues of Dragon magazine and a Car Wars battle mat. Lest you think me an entirely impractical traveler, I did also bring a book on cheese making. I've started making a wheel of parmesan.

I'm running out of juice on my phone I'll send an update once if I ever get back to civilization.
