I'm leaving for Iceland on the 20th.
I want to spend most of my time chilling out in nature, bathing in natural Hot Springs, and watching northern lights.

I like the last two ideas. Thank you! :)
I also added "Change mushroom hunting" as an activity since there is a decent amount of birch trees around.
I have had 3 different tents throughout my travels:
1) MEC Camper-2
2) MSR Hubba-Hubba
3) MARMOT (can't remember which one)
All of them are 2-persons tent, 3-seasons.
#1 would often have its...
Hello everyone! Long time no see, right?
I had completely forgotten about keeping you guys up to date on that adventure of mine.
Well, as some of you guys might have guessed, I survived. ;)

Hello everyone!
I'm not sure if you remember me: I used to post about some adventures of mine, be it survival-related, or simple travel-related.
I just came back from a 2-years-long hitchhiking...
We will only carry bear sprays.
The two persons I contacted which have done this trip before told me they only had that as well.
I don't think bears will be a problem at all. And anyways, none of...
I bought a 8Gb memory card for my camera just for that trip. I sure will bring back nice pictures. :)
Wish me good luck!
See you around. :)

As expected, it seems like they don't mess with kayakers.
Another thing came to my mind: does salty air affect health in any noticeable ways?
And is the best technique to start a fire with wet wood...
I know my mushrooms quite well. The hedgehogs is the only one I know which will be there and which I have never gotten to identify beforehand so I'll probably stay away from those (even though I know...
3 months is the total duration of the trip, but that's far from being on our own the whole time. The longest time we will spend without encountering a village where we will be able to replenish the...
I am leaving for a 3-months long kayak trip in about a week. I haven't gotten to prepare my emergency/survival kit yet. Any propositions?
I'll be in between Skagway (Alaska) and Vancouver Island, on...
Beautiful pictures.
I can't see the pictures... it says I am a guest and have to register! D:
Anyways, nice post. :)
I remember the first few times sleeping alone in the woods as being pretty similar: paranoia...
Same. Thanks.
Thanks for that link. Will read tomorrow.
In case of a brown bear, I should not initiate physical harm?
I can't see any of the pictures. :(
Would being the first to initiate physical harm, by doing so from a distance (such as throwing rocks), be a bad call whenever a bear stalks like that?
From my discussions with a forest ranger from Canada, up here they usually give a notice to the squatter, and -then- burn it. (Though there are some very rare cases where the cabin was taken over and...
Is this the generally accepted method of lighting a fire with a steel bar? I personally have been holding up the bar in a steady position with a particular angle which shoots sparks where I want,...
Basically, if you're thinking look-term squat, I don't think anything but Alaska would make it.
I am currently preparing for my kayak trip down the West Coast.
I will be leaving Skagway (South-East Alaska) around mid-May, and should arrive on Vancouver Island a few months after.
Obviously,...
Last summer, I gave my first try to primitive spear fishing.
We were 3 friends out camping in the woods along some bush road: it was a good spot for climbing boulders in that region.
While they...
But entertainment is a big part of the psychological part of survival!
/doing it wrong
I will be kayaking down from Skagway (Alaska) to Vancouver Island, leaving in May. After that, some cherry picking, and then I'll be hitch-hiking down to South America and spend a year out there.
