As unemployment rates continue to rise and dissatisfaction with the consumer society continues to grow, Damitio explains the techniques, rewards, and pitfalls of living a rough life. In October of 2000, Damitio set out on a unique travel experience as he began to explore the possibilities of living without what many people consider essential. As a result of this rough lifestyle, Damitio was surprised to find himself climbing the Great Wall of China, abducted by pirates in Laos, and playing guitars with strangers who became friends throughout Asia. All of this was done on the budget of a bum. Now, in ROUGH LIVING: TIPS AND TALES OF A VAGABOND, Damitio reveals some of the secrets that made his adventures possible and some of the adventures he had along the way. The first section provides such essentials as how to find food, how to create shelter, providing income, traveling on a limited budget, building a fire, and recognizing dangerous individuals. The second section chronicles some of the authors own vagabonding adventures as Damitio hitches, flies, drives, floats, and climbs his way to adventure. No holds are barred as Damitio provides a raw look at drug use, alcoholism, prostitution, and light crime. Damitio, a former Sergeant in the Marine Corps, former Air Traffic Controller, former stockbroker, former radio producer, former casting director, and former just about anything else provides a look at the life of a vagabond through his own eyes. In ROUGH LIVING: TIPS AND TALES OF A VAGABOND, Damitio captures the hearts and imaginations of everyone who has ever thought of seeing what lies beyond the bend or over the next hill. Unemployment may just go up voluntarily if enough people read ROUGH LIVING:TIPS AND TALES OF A VAGABOND. ### ROUGH LIVING: TIPS AND TALES OF A VAGABOND is currently available at www.booklocker.com and by special order through Ingram at bookstores nationwide.
