current project travelog
Learn in your local area for full or half day by arrangement. Exercises and practice, bring yourself a map and compass and all anticipated outdoor weather clothing, ideas of what you want to learn and do that seems oddly not feasible. Ask for advice and discuss how getting around in the great outdoors can become a hobby you lead your friends on or even just yourself.
Plan for anywhere, somehow, the way I do is to know I can personally do it and have the bike or rucksack with all requirements in advance. An adventurous approach is the way to get home again without changing your mind. Also each journey continues from the last one and your equipment is up to date and tested. Self sufficiency is only rural here in the British Isles and where I have travelled but it is wild and you can expect there are no cafes for a whole day if you want to get to the top of a hill or across a National Park. To not need others is an illusory thing but the mainstream you will certainly leave it behind.
I have carried a camera in order to not have cold
hands painting, but in the long run it was the quality of the memories that enabled
me to painting when I got home. Either way though it puts a date and register to your
memories if you draw or keep photographs. Like an extension to maps and a
diary it adds value to memories when you have the ability to pull them out
accurately for yourself.

Take to the outdoors confidently with better map and location finding skills. Progress with practice and open new doors. Accessible learning methods from one who has travelled very light. Fitness required of course but it due to not carrying the kitchen sink, I mean this really, indpendent of all but food supplies.
