((Approximately a 3 hour walk away from Moscow city))
The youngish man set about methodically searching for useful stones to use. He was getting somewhat frustrated with the lack of stones suitable for knapping, most regions had something that could be fashioned into something that could be called an edge. Sighing, he decided he'd have to use something like snares, at least he carried materials for those around. He fashioned the few sticks he'd collected into something resembling a point and slipped them through his belt, just in case. Carefully assembling several sticks and thread to make snares, he placed them around holes that could be burows, and pulled out the two mess tins that he knew from experience made the loudest noise.
While he prepared his positions for scaring the prey into his traps, the man thought about what it would be like taking up long-term residence somewhere again. There was money, but he was pretty sure he had enough of that. Then there was paperwork. That could be problematic. He remembered very little about what these would need. Forms need things like addresses, perhaps not for lodgings? Contact details, he had an email account, not that he frequently had opportunity to use it. Any proof of citizenship would be difficult to come up with, though he did have a section in his satchel dedicated to miscellaneous documents, so that should hopefully be fine.
And then there was a name. He hadn't needed a name in a while, and he didn't like using the same name every time. The one on his passport was out, his documents too. Not like such a cheap place probably checks. Still though, having a name is important. Nothing is less trustworthy than someone who refuses to give a name.
Thinking about it for a minute, he decided on Tyson perhaps. It's a reasonable name, and at the same time not so generic as to sound fake. Tyson what though? Surnames were traditionally based on profession right? Well, is surviving really a profession? Thinking about his previous problems, the man smiled to himself. That would do nicely.
The newly self-named Tyson Flint checked over his traps one last time.
