I am heading out tomorrow for a nice long vacation in the woods and was wondering what is the longest that people here have survived in the woods? I love hearing about others adventures. I'm not exactly sure what the longest time for me was. I know I've gone several times for two months or more and many, many times for two weeks or more. Also what gear did you take with you when you went? Most of the time I took only a knife, some paracords, and a hammok, but there have been times when I didn't have anything and a few times I had more gear such as machete, hatchet, tarp, rope, mess kit, flashlight, firesarters, and other items that are currently slipping my mind. I'm curious to see what kind of gear people have used and how effectively it performed. I'm not necesarily talking about strictly survivng, but camping, hiking or other outdoor activities that would require prolonged periods of isolation within a hostile (or not so hostile) environment, Of course survival stories are more than welcome.
