    Does anyone else go on Short "survival treks"?
    2 or 3 day hikes using just your survival kit?

    I prefer winter hunting treks up in the mountains. I think I might be able to do one this year as an old trekking buddy just moved back up from the coast.

    We do it in pre 1840's gear. We hunt rabbits, squirrels, hogs, and anything else that is game and edible. We can do some trout fishing as it's an year round water.

    We will take a little grub, not much as we try to keep it light. This year I'm going to try and a really light load, prob. most weight will be one whitney, one mil. wool, and a canvas tarp. Coffee pot that doubles as a corn boiler, pot, water boiler, soup maker, you get the drift.

    That depends on what you mean by survival kit I think. Too bad I'm nowhere near Atlanta or I'd go with you for sure.
