Hello everyone.

Being new I scanned the posts to get up to speed with the topic and found them most interesting. I do want to wish Chaotiklown good luck on his adventure. I think the four day excursion was one of good sense in that it is long enough to test his skills, but brief enough to not put himself into any real danger with common sense applied. I think he has the option to trap where he can (legally) and supplement is diet with some lightweight packables.

My advice would be to enjoy the trip because it's not a race but an adventure. Take the time to look for opportunities as you travel and I believe the one thing you will gain the most from will be your education on time management of your days. Learning when to make camp, fine tuning your senses, and really seeing the beauty of nature.

Good luck and happy trails,
Backwoodsman
