I've lived in the South my whole life, but I don't have a drawl or live in a trailer. I'm not stupid, either. I think you're right, if you don't act like a fucking creep everyone will think you're all right- even if we do notice your strange Oregon and Massachusetts license plates on your Subarus.

Seems like the schooling is still shit though.

It's unfortunate that the Tracker School classes are so expensive. But the fact that you know about Tom Brown's tracker school shows you are on a good start. Tom Brown is nuttier than a squirrel but he is definitely the real deal. He makes Bear Grylls look like Jackie Chan let me put it that way.


You could definitely invest in some of Tom Browns books. ON your own, you could probably learn a lot just by reading some of his books to learn a new skill one at a time. Go camping and then test it out.


For instance, read about the basics of building a basic debris shelter. Then go into a wooded area and try it out. You wont get it right the first time. Trust me.


Let me put it this way. As a third year engineering student, if you can be teaching yourself Cal 2 and Differential Equations building a Debris Hut or starting fire by friction should be well within your intellectual grasp.


Your biggest weakness will probably be bringing yourself to the woods.

btw, if you're serious and you want to hit me up for specific questions and advice you are welcome to do so on aim. -> mrp1ck3ls


Also, don't forget the sacred tenets of wilderness survival: Shelter, Water, Fire and Food. IN that order.

Really? Because us truckers always figured it was the other way around!

Seriously, though, we have a lot of respect for two-wheelers. Anytime we spot one, we'll put the word out on the radio for everyone to take notice so we can better guard our blindspots. It's just professional courtesy and makes the roads safer for everybody.

Well, I don't know about you... But in my location of so cal. There is a shit load of bees in spring and summer.

No bees in the south either (Alabama/Tennessee). Although I did see 1 (ONE) the other day early in the morning in my backyard.

Same here bro. I've lived in Alabama and now I'm in Tennessee. Not many fireflys that I can remember from the past few years. I remember when I was little we used to catch them all the time in the summer (junebugs).

I think it was Einstein who said that if bees were to dissapear the world would fall apart. I can't remember exactly how it went, basically shit sux after there gone.

I did. What I meant by how long is how many kilometers. You can interpret it as "Because it's winter time..." I'm just weird when it comes to the way I word things.

Sage for not adding anything to the thread.

>>winter time

>>As for your girlfriend, how long is your trip?

Did you even read his post? He's camping for a week, and doing so two months before Winter. OP, I'd always recommend a tent since it's just protection against natural forces in general (rain, etc, though I don't know New Zealand's climate very well so I apologize if I'm way off the mark). As for a winter tent, I'm not sure; you would know that better than any of us considering you live around there and know the weather patterns better. Best of luck.

Bring a car?

But if you insist on hiking, then get dry foods. A can of tuna generally has about 50% of it's weight taken up by the brine and the can, so very inefficient. A packet of freezedry soup and vegetables has about 1% wasted weight in it from the foil packaging, the rest is eaten.

Dried soup, pasta, dried meat, vaccum-sealed and heat-treated, precooked meat (like some bacon types), raisins or sultanas, dried fruit like banana chips, high-energy foods like honey and peanut butter are relatively heavy but it's worth it for all those nice oils, salts, sugars and calories. Whole wheat bread can be pretty good if you have space.

Carrying the water to cook these foods in is the biggest pain in the ass. You can have two weeks of rations in a basic backpack, but without water you won't be able to prepare much of it.
