NEW BOOK, ROUGH LIVING-TIPS AND TALES OF A VAGABOND, REVEALS
THE SECRETS OF A SUCCESSFUL ROUGH LIFE
(Portland, OR, June 10, 2002) Booklocker.com announced
today that publication of a new book entitled ROUGH
LIVNG: TIPS AND TALES OF A VAGABOND, by a
world-traveling vagabond extraordinaire, Chris
Damitio. 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.
