Bone Nails

I'm eighteen at the moment. (Date said Feb, second, two thousand fourteen.) After a few months of preparing, I'm going to start backpacking through the U.S. Although I'm not sure on my plans at the moment, I know I'll see a lot in the time I take away for this useless credit life style.
I've grown tired of the day to day redundancy I've found myself in. I offend pick up backpackers to see if I can give them a ride, buy them food, drink, smokes, anything they need, hell even hotel rooms. Every time I say to a backpacker I've thought of backpacking myself the only thing any of them say is.
"Do it dude!"
Not that long ago I picked up a girl named Cat, (or Kat, not sure on the spelling) and she talked of the road. I found it amazing the words she spilled out to my ears. (She also turned me to this website.)
I would love any tips anyone could toss my way, anything would help. If anyone would like to travel with me please message me. Any questions you have I'll be happy to answer as best I can.
I'm a bit odd, but a kind person. (In my head at least.) One last thing, I plan on either taking my Pit-bull, or St. Bernard with me on the road, I think they'd love it.
