After conferring with some highly qualified friends, I've decided a camping trip or 10 might be in order to get my survival skills to a respectable level, since there will be times when I'll find myself alone out in the wilderness getting amazing photos, & I'll have to rough it! I'm also compiling a list of stuff I need to get to do said camping....
Here's a list from my friend Kurt who hiked the Appalachian trail:
Sleeping bag, mattress pad, tent, tent spikes, light weight tarp tent size, backpack, water bottles, water filter, airtight water proof food bags that can be strung up in a tree, set of camp pots - utensils (vary by what u plan to do), camp stove and gas (also vary, I have hiking one and car one), clothing that dries fast (I always hike in shorts that u can zip pants legs onto) - as little cotton as possible Small essentials bag (mine has) -small salt pepper, seasoning, pot tongs, pug spray or wipes, cards (books, dice), flashlight, head light, batteries, light weight ropes, duct tape, star chart, tiny solar panel with USB plug. Small roll toilet paper, nice pocket knife, condoms, hat, head bands, plastic zip bags for trash, more water proof camp bags to put clothing and sleeping bag in, Also good to get mesh bags.. and carabiners... hang stuff off back of backpack to dry while your walking..
Small firestarter sticks.. a small first aid kit..bandaids and suture strips, alcohol wipes, small eye drops, gauze, Fold up solar charger, knife,axe, bowl, cup, small shovel, wipes, TP, matches, peanut butter,
Did we forget anything?
