Running Away: Tips and Advice?

Well. Me and my best friend are running away. Now before people start telling me "it’s not all fun and games" and "your life can’t be that bad". I already know this. We’re both highly capable, intelligent individuals. We have our supplies ready. Now I won’t post a full list, as last time it took up too much space… Basically, we have first aid, flint stone fire starter, each have 2 canteenes, a pocket knife, dust goggles, flak jacket, camelbak gloves, militairy boots, trench knife, daggers and a katana.

Now as well as protection, we have money for food, and a book on how to live off the land. Though thats not the whole list, just a rundown. We are trying to build up a small group before we leave. We know the dangers of the outside world, and what we’re getting into. I’m not asking for 1,000 replies on why I’m too young or I shouldn’t do this. Instead… Please, just some advice for running away, where we should go (coming from Florida) ect? It would really be appreciated. Thank you.

Please answer the question. We did not ask you to tell us what we already know. We have been planning this for well over a month, we’ve thought it through, and are definite on the decision. We are asking for advice, possible places to go, routes, paths, tips, ect, ect. We’re kindly asking Yahoo Answers to answer our question, not tell us what we asked you not to tell us.
More information for those who wanted to know:

Before getting into it, I will say one thing. We aren’t planning on leaving any time soon. There are still many supplies to get, a group to gather, a route to plan, a destination to choose. In the future, we will eventually end up in Europe, as that was the original idea. However, it is subject to change.

The police will be looking for us, however that’s not much of a problem. We will rest during the day, and remain mainly out of the cities due to that reason. Keeping the group small at first is essential, as we plan on recruiting as we travel so that nothing is expected. They won’t know that we are growing if other teenagers from other places are leaving. Avoidance is also slightly easy. If we are to change our appearance directly after leaving, it will make it harder and we will become less recognizable. Not definite, but an idea for now.

@ US Central States: We do have a route that will take us north, west, northeast, and eventually into Canada, avoiding the major ‘Ghetto’ areas that could get us shot and killed. (We do plan on getting kevlar. It is easily accessible via Amazon or other online purchasing sites.) From Canada we can stow-away to the UK, then head south into the rest of Europe and plan along the way for further destinations and stops.

Before any comments, it is better to stay in Europe, as there are less handguns there if I remember correctly. They are illegal in the UK. I doubt people will have the time to aim a rifle at us when we charge them with blades. Murder is low there anyway, but that’s not the point.

Yes, we will eventually get guns when we get connections and those who can retrieve them for us. However, we do want to avoid law enforcement as much as possible. This group needs to be hidden and mobile, not a public threat lied about by the media.

Odd jobs are ideal. We have plans to make money, and plans to make our own resources. We will learn to cook, skin, boil, and whatever else. I don’t feel like elaborating into those, so ect. You make a point of prepaid cell phones. We thought of this, as it is a good idea if the group were to become accidentally separated or by some other cause we would need it to stay together and regroup.

On a final note for the mental and physical distress, yes, we understand that people would be hurt. However, the people that would be hurt, there are very few. We do love our family, we do love our friends even though they’re annoying, we do love being in a home with clean running water and all of that. However, you would have to know us on a personal level to fully understand the extent of our problems. Anyone can freely comment that it is worse out there than it is here where we are sheltered, educated, watched over, but some of us know that we can do it. There is always the excuse of adventure, but that’s a bit immature in my opinion, so I won’t stoop there.

I am perfectly ready to give up what I have, when I can create so much more, that is even better.

There is room for more information if it is needed or wanted.
