thinking of leaving civilization for awhile

**ninja** · 11-10-2009, 07:21 PM

anybody ever just picked up and took off. I have been seriously thinking about strapping on my boots and backpack, then heading for the great wide open. I think six months to year or more. Has anybody ever done anything like this? If so what was your experiences.

Hey Ninja - how about heading on over to the Introduction section and tell us about yourself. Thanks. http://www.wilderness-survival.net/f...splay.php?f=14 There's a template on posting an intro at the top of that page if you'd like to use that.

Hey Ninja - You might consider reading this post, too.

That question is probably the second most asked question on the forum. Right behind what's the best survival knife.

I'm going to agree with what Sourdough said in your Intro thread. Go for it. Be smart about it, but do it if it's something you want to do.

I am going to agree with Crash, "Go for it"

And the coffee pot is always on for explorers.

Well....I guess you guys have agreed to agree to a degree.

Just finished watching a show on Nat Geo about the appalachin trail. Some people take 6 months to hike it.

I go for about one week out of the year, that about does it for me. Now be a good boy & go to the intro thread if you haven't already done so.

Wow, you must have some money your wife don't know about. Either that or she is away visiting her mother.
