"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.
