Tom Robbins, Still Life with Woodpecker

“The difference between a criminal and an outlaw is that while criminals frequently are victims, outlaws never are. Indeed, the first step toward becoming a true outlaw is the refusal to be victimized. All people who live subject to other people's laws are victims. People who break laws out of greed, frustration, or vengeance are victims. People who overturn laws in order to replace them with their own laws are victims. ( I am speaking here of revolutionaries.) We outlaws, however, live beyond the law. We don't merely live beyond the letter of the law-many businessmen, most politicians, and all cops do that-we live beyond the spirit of the law. In a sense, then, we live beyond society. Have we a common goal, that goal is to turn the tables on the 'nature' of society. When we succeed, we raise the exhilaration content of the universe. We even raise it a little bit when we fail.

When war turns whole populations into sleepwalkers, outlaws don't join forces with alarm clocks. Outlaws, like poets, rearrange the nightmare.

The trite mythos of the outlaw; the self-conscious romanticism of the outlaw; the black wardrobe of the outlaw; the fey smile of the outlaw; the tequila of the outlaw and the beans of the outlaw; respectable men sneer and say 'outlaw'; young women palpitate and say 'outlaw'. The outlaw boat sails against the flow; outlaws toilet where badgers toilet. All outlaws are photogenic. 'When freedom is outlawed, only outlaws will be free.' There are outlaw maps that lead to outlaw treasures. Unwilling to wait for mankind to improve, the outlaw lives as if that day were here. Outlaws are can openers in the supermarket of life.”

Essential Modern Survival Kit

Essential Modern Survival Kit
WATER
Portable water in suitable containers for inmediate drink-ability, and a water filter for purifying after you run out of bottled water

FOOD
High calorie foods such as high calorie energy bars or MRE (meals-ready-to-eat] are vital to mantain sufficient energy to keep going

EXTRA CLOTHING
Even if it's warm outside, if you get in trouble without extra clothes, hypothermia becomes a risk.

BODY WARMERS
Bring reflectrive "aluminized" space blanket or survival blanket to retain body heat, catalytic heater and bottled gas fuel

SHELTER
Small tent, tarp with grommets, large plastic trash bag as poncho or expedient shelter roof

SUNGLASSES
There are some grate sunglasses out there that will enhance your vision, provide polarization for water or snow, and will prevent eye fatigue

SANITATION
Toilet paper, hygiene products, soap, hand-towel and any other body care products you may need

FIRST AID KIT
Keep at least the basics: band aids, sterile, gauze, desinfectant, first aid manual, medical tape, medical scissors, disposable gloves, tweezers, cotton swabs and a thermometer

EXTRA CASH
Extra cash will enable you to purchase the supplies you did not include and other necessary items

MEDICATIONS
There should be at least an even-day supply of any prescription and non-prescription medications used by family members

MATCHES
Keeping a lighter and a fire starter in addition to matches are a good idea

MAP
Simply having a good map of the region you're in could get you out of trouble

COMPASS
Is ideal for establishing bearings while used in conjunction with a map

FLASHLIGHT
And extra batteries. A LED flashlight, preferably a head-mounted style, is the best choice

PERSONAL DOCS
Important personal documents like proof of address, insurance policies, birth certificates and passports should be stored together in an area with easy access in case of a natural disaster

WEATHER RADIO
A small weather radio will keep you informed of the conditions outside and where to seek shelter or emergency personnel during and after a natural disaster

CELL PHONE
The towers may be down following a natural disaster, but emergency personnel will get them repaired fast for communication

The main drawback in the design of the watch is the large, protruding buttons.
They cling to clothes, dig into the back of the hand.
The legs on which the buttons are attached can even bend a little.
Brutality in the appearance of the watch turns into their inconvenience.
