Only What You Can Carry

As a migrant worker in the middle of the Depression, you have a hand-to-mouth existence. You are
always
on the run and therefore have not accumulated very many belongings. In fact, you cannot afford to
own anything that you cannot carry on your back.
Step 1: First, rank your possessions in order most important (#1) to least important
(#35). Keep in mind the technological limitations of the time. If you get stuck, start
with least important and work backwards.
Step 2: Estimate the total weight you could carry for long distances and then the
weight of each item.
Estimated weight I could carry:
pounds
Step 3: Check off the items that you would actually be able to pack. The total weight of the items cannot
be greater than the weight you estimated that you can carry and all items must fit together in a backpack.
