Despite the title, this chapter is not solely an instruction for luring young girls into a shack per se. For this chapter we are going to have to re-imagine the word shack. We will define shack as any private or semi-private structure or area where you can practice the particular area of the hobo's guide which you are implementing. Now that you have busted down the walls of your mind you can see that a shack can be a bookstore bathroom, a van, a secluded couch under a toll bridge, a dark room in the library, whatever is available.

In this chapter we are dealing with the time tested dilemma of luring a young girl into a shack. Luring can be many things from trickery to misrepresentation. But there are some main elements of luring that are consistent.

The thing to keep in mind is establishing trust. One good trick to do this is to mention a lot of friends names. In the fragile mind of a young girl, dangerous people are loners, the stereotype of the horny vicious drifter is a difficult one to play down and work around. Having a clean friend with you is especially helpful. Young girls are easily caught up in the pack mentality.

 
Andy Straub: Hobo Master of Sense and Sensibility

Even better than a clean friend is a dirty, onetime famous person. A lot of ex-famous people have drug habits. If you are a hobo you should know some of them. Some of these fallen celebrities are especially accessible, Chris Barren from the Spin Doctors will walk with you for 6 dollars or a tin of domestic caviar.

Any good Hobo will tell you fortune begins with isolation of the resource. No matter how good you are you can't cook at a supermarket! You have to take that smoked salmon, stick it in your pants and get it into your hobo kitchen so you can baste it and grill it. When you think of this plain truth but substitute a young girl for the smoked salmon and her bright future for the supermarket but leave in the hobo kitchen, the basting and grilling then you will have a fine picture of what needs to be done.

A glimpse into the mind of the hobo.
Once you have lured your young girl into a shack you have accomplished the luring a young girl into a shack part and the next step is at your discretion. You may want to use some of the other chapters in the guide such as how to trick a young girl into heroin addiction or Living with S.T.D.' s and Lying About Having Them or you might just want a young girl to be inside a shack with you in which case you will not need those other chapters.

Whatever the case good luck in luring her away. A properly cultivated young girl can result in food, shelter, sexual satisfaction, money, prescription drugs and really anything your budding hobo mind can imagine. If you fail that's ok, you can't steal salmon everyday maybe you should set your sights lower. Try a younger girl or read the chapter: Beer Goggles, Cardboard Boxes and Staple Guns: The Art of Banging Ugly.
