Hello from a wilderness survivor!
Hello, my name is Spirit. I have recently returned from the wilderness, and boy, what a shock it is to be back. I lived in a handmade tipi for four months, hunted deer and fish, and now that the snow is here, I don't feel like going back right now. So, enough about me, how about you?
Hi Spirit. That sounds fascinating! Where did you have this adventure?
Welcome. Did you document any of your experiences?
What's so crazy about standing toe-to-toe saying I am?

Now thats REAL survival. Tell us what you ate.
Hello. Where did this grand adventure of yours take place? When did you start getting snow?
This happened i the Rocky Mountains in Colorado. I was just out there to experience the peace of nature, and never thought about documenting anything. I ate fish, squirrel, a deer, several different types of autumn mushroom, kenikkenik berries, and some wild onion when i found it. I bought a lifestraw off of amazon before I left, and used that out there. It was an amazing adventure! The snow came in in mid-November. I decided to head back.
Where did you camp? I used to frequent the Poudre River canyon. Snow comes early in the RMNP.
I camped in the base of longs peak.
So, did you stay near that area? How are you living now?
Did you get to watch the snowmobile races on Grand Lake?Originally Posted by Earth spirit
Even after I moved away from CO, I made frequent motorcycle trips to Dacono, just east of longs peak.
Welcome Spirit! Glad you have found us. I hope you have a warm, dry place to winter. Long's Peak is very pretty country. I envy you the time there. Looking forward to visiting more.
Good to have you here, Earth Spirit!
Welcome home. Sounds like a great adventure. Your location says Rocky Mtn. National Park. Do you live in Colorado now? What a cool backyard that would be.

Welcome to the Forums! Do you have any pics of your adventure to share with us? What did you have for gear other than the lifestraw?

Right now I am living in a cabin I rented near Estes park. I had lived in Chicago, but finding it too busy and yucky, came here. I rented the cabin before I left, and had a little spit with the owner a week back, but it's all good. I never watched the snowmobile races on Grand Lake but once when I was seven. My granddad brought me out to his cabin there and we watched. Come to think of it, it would be cool to see them again! Dacono is where. Have been doing my recent shopping at a discount grocery there. Nice town!
How'd you manage to avoid the snow "till mid-November?The first Colorado Rockies snow of the season fell in late summer.

Did you happen to see a guy named Blade out there
You guys, take it easy, we don't wanna scare away the pray. Then we'd have to find other form of merriment.
