Taking Only What He Needed

In the earlier days, Christopher was set on only taking what he needed in that very moment. He wasn’t thinking too far ahead and this often led to a couple of hungry days. Mostly, he focused on common objects and food. He had a sweet tooth for sure, and the sugary snacks helped him keep some weight on. He had a bit of a soft spot for fizzy drinks, which he didn’t hesitate to swipe if the opportunity presented itself.

Getting enough food only covers one of the primary needs to stay alive. Christopher had to do what he could to make sure that his shelter could stand the test of time too. This would require some creativity, especially around keeping warm in the snowy winters. Wrapping tarp around the boulders, he could insulate himself from the weather to an extent. A good blanket and a jacket were crucial too, in order to make sure he resisted the cold.
