Looking to drop out and disappear for a while.
Wow, there is a ton of stuff to read on this forum.
So, here is my introduction
58 years old, single male. who has a habit of hoarding too many possessions and living at work, only heading home to sleep and enjoy a few hours of relaxation.
I am ready to entertain a feeling of freedom and live off the grid for a while.
Serious enough to have purchased a backpack (Kelty 65), a sleeping bag (Ozark Trail 40F Climatech Mummy Sleeping bag) and have cleared a large part of my back yard to practice in. ( I did spend a significant amount of money on assorted gear)
Soon, I will lock up the house and load up the car (2014 Camry).
No idea where I will end up..
Probably ditch the car for a week of two at a time, so I will have to pick out a tent I can carry. (not the 6 Man Cabela's Alaskan Guide Tent I now have)
Camping in the south (Florida, Alabama, Georgia) and plan on all of this happening sometime closer to August (I want to be prepared and ready to go well in advance of that date).
Of course I need advice.. Email me or PM me, I will find time to read and respond (work 60 hours a week).
If you give me links you will be helping me a lot.
Honestly, there are so many places to look on this site and so much I need to read.
Please give me suggestions and links.
I want to travel and live for free, but will consider inexpensive (Primative) camp sites. (That means Cheap). Florida has all of their parks at $16.00 a night (Not cheap). Alabama has quite a few at a much better $8.00 a night. So, help me stay warm and near water. I plan on three months of in the woods, on my own, but not too deep, freedom seeking. Not looking for mountains, but I could be persuaded.. Just waving a hand and saying hello.
