/diy/ - Do It Yourself

ok last one/4
honestly I think the figures on this are probably a load of crap but maybe you'll have forgotten something really obvious or this will make you think of something...

have a backup plan. However much you want to get away, make sure you can enjoy it for years, let someone know where you are and have a means of getting help when you fall down and sprain your ankle. I know it's not what you want but shit, hypothermia sounds like a megashit thing you'll probably not actually die from and then 'have' to spend the rest of your time in a city/town living with. Have a safety net until you're at least 2 years settled and secure. Just don't want you dying man, really admire your wish to go live out there and hope you do.

Also, I reckon research into temperature of food and diet is going to be key to your long term survival. You'll need to know seasons, gathering times, fish etc. abundance and scarcity, then you'll need to know how to make food last without a fridge. Smoked meats, jerky, salting, grain storage, bread making, drying food effectively. Basically you gotta learn moisture.

Get a few mylar space blankets, or plastic sheeting. You can use it for so many things aside from keeping warm... Can use to catch evaporated water for purifying from leaves and piss. Can use for shelter by hanging over some of that paracord....

Also, make a few of these (see pic)

Here's what I took when I went camping with /k/...

- 1 x 2 person tent
- 1 x down sleeping bag and wool blanket
- 1 x tarpaulin
- 10 different ways of starting a fire (matches, lighter, flint, fire steel, etc)
- 1 x .45 cal Lapua bolt action rifle with 12x optical scope
- 1000 x .45 cal Lapua rifle rounds
- 1 x RPG
- 100 x RPG rounds
- 1 x Flamethrower
- 200 Litres of napalm
- 2 x .50 cal Desert Eagles (dual wield)
- 5000 x .50 cal ammo for D-Eagles
- 100kg of RDX high explosive
- 1 x 5 kiloton Thermonuclear warhead
- remote detonators
- 1 x fixed blade knife
- 100ft 550lb paracord
- 3 x MREs per day.

I made it out of those woods alive, just do what I did OP. Happy Camping!

I actually found them to be quite handy when cooking since you merely lay a grill over the top and it gives you the perfect cooking surface

Ramen isn't the healthiest thing in the world. Use this image as a starting point. Use healthy food.
