Grand backpacking (camping) plans.
Dec. 17th, 2008 12:06 pmI got this urge to practice surviving in the woods with only what I could carry. Seems like a decent hobby.
I ordered a military Modular Sleep System (used, for $150) which includes a bivy sack so I don't need a tent, and the total system is rated down to -40F.
I plan to test it in my back yard as soon as it arrives, and then go backpacking in the White Mountains, in the direction of a designated Wilderness, the following weekend or so. Starting on a Saturday morning, walking away from civilization for a day, curling up in my bivy sack for the night, then walking back. My current plan for food is MREs because they're easy - hot food without the need to build a fire. Easy, right?

Does this sound fun to you? (Happy to sell you several MREs for simplicity.)
