My journey alone into the wilderness

[Pathfinder]

"Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far they can go." ~ T. S. Eliot



The plan:

To journey deep into the wilderness with only as much gear as can be carried on my back, and the skills I can keep in my head. There is no time limit. I will return when I feel the need to return. I will be leaving sometime next year, after winter has ended. I have until then to prepare.

2 Bic lighters
100 cotton balls soaked in Vaseline

sounds like lots of fun man. looks like you got alot of stuff covored.also take some thin cotton and put it in an airtight metel box, and stick it in a fire, like an altoids can will work perfect, and burn the cotton so its all black. with the magnesium stick or even a flint rock and steel, will ketch the spark and help light your fire. another thing i would bring would be a good tarp. you would be suprized how handy it will be. and if you are in the rockies, i would get a bar bag or the food safe. dont forget to pack the weed also!

i plan on doing this too. and word of advice, the alice packs get really uncomfortable for long hikes, so maybe invest in a good internal frame. they are alot more comfy and hold about the same. and a net would be handy too.
