Alone in the wilderness - revised inventory

[Pathfinder]

what do you hope to gain by doing this ?

A life experience. We only get one chance at life, and there's only a short window between being too young and being too old when you have a real chance to do something special.

how long do you think you are going to be out ?

Until I need to return.

are you going to set up somewhere or are you going to move around ?

Depends. If I find someplace I really like, I may set up camp for awhile.

what about water treatment over a long period of time ?

I'll be boiling my water over a campfire.

what about bugs...are you taking a headnet or deet ?

Maybe a net. No Deet.

what about somekind of headlamp with lots of batteries ?
the nights can be very very very long and very dark

No electronics. They're good for short term, but die out. Batteries add weight. I'll have fire. I should have no reason to move far away from my fire at night.

dosnt 100 ft.of useful cord seem like too little ?

My cord won't be used at all unless I'm unable to locate natural substitutes. The best survival skill of all is creative thinking.
